Neuroprotective effects of an Nrf2 agonist on high glucose-induced damage in HT22 cells

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is the hallmark of diabetic encephalopathy, which may be caused by hyperglycaemic toxicity. We aimed to discover pharmacologic targets to restore redox homeostasis. We identified the transcription factor Nrf2 as such a target. METHODS: HT22 cells were cultured in 25 or 50 mM ...

Statistical optimization of kojic acid production by a UV-induced mutant strain of Aspergillus terreus

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT The ability of four Aspergillus strains for biosynthesis of kojic acid was evaluated among which Aspergillus terreus represented the highest level (2.21 g/L) of kojic acid production. Improvement kojic acid production ability of A. terreus by random mutagenesis using different exposure time to u...

Alanine mother liquor as a nitrogen source for docosahexaenoic acid production by Schizochytrium sp. B4D1

Alanine mother liquor, a type of industrial waste from alanine fermentation, was used as a nitrogen source to produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by Schizochytrium sp. B4D1. The results indicated that yeast extract could trigger the utilization of the alanine mother liquor. Additionally, the alanine can b...

The dynamics of energy metabolism in the tick embryo

Abstract The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an ectoparasite capable of transmitting a large number of pathogens, causing considerable losses in the cattle industry, with substantial damage to livestock. Over the years, important stages of its life cycle, such as the embryo, have been...

Anaerobic biodegradation of benzo(a)pyrene by a novel Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2 isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2, a novel strain capable of utilizing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as the sole carbon and energy source under nitrate-reducing conditions, was isolated from PAH-contaminated soil. Temperature and pH significantly affected BaP biodegradation, and the strain exhibited enha...

Lidocaine and pinacidil added to blood versus crystalloid cardioplegic solutions: study in isolated hearts

Abstract Objective: The present study aimed the functional recovery evaluation after long term of cardiac arrest induced by Custodiol (crystalloid-based) versus del Nido (blood-based) solutions, both added lidocaine and pinacidil as cardioplegic agents. Experiments were performed in isolated rat heart p...

Niveles de glucemia intraoperatoria y su relación con la morbimortalidad a corto y largo plazo en pacientes con trasplante de hígado en un hospital de alta complejidad

Resumen Objetivo: se realizó un estudio en pacientes sometidos a trasplante de hígado (TH) con el objetivo de determinar los valores de glucemia en cada una de las fases de la cirugía del TH y su relación con la morbimortalidad postoperatoria. Materiales y métodos: se identificaron los trasplant...

Determinación del índice glucémico de un producto elaborado a base de amaranto (amaranthus caudatus linnaeus), quinua (chenopodium quinoa willd) y tarwi (lupinus mutabilis sweet) para tratamiento coadyuvante de diabetes tipo 2 y obesidad

Con-ciencia (La Paz); 6 (1), 2018
El Índice Glucémico (IG) es un parámetro que indica el impacto agudo de los carbohidratos de un alimento sobre los niveles de Glucosa en sangre, por tanto, la cantidad y tipo de carbohidratos son los principales factores determinantes de la glucemia. En diabéticos, los alimentos con IG bajo tienen un...

Long term maintenance of glucose and lipid concentrations after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Abstract Objective: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reduces body weight and the comorbidities associated with obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether glucose and lipid profiles were maintained during a 5-year follow-up period after RYGB. Subjects and methods: Anthropometric and laborator...
