Effect of carbon source on production, characterization and bioactivity of exopolysaccharide produced by Phellinus vaninii Ljup

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT The effect on different three carbon source (i.e. glucose, fructose and sucrose) on production, chemical characterization and antioxidant activity of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Phellinus vaninii Ljup was investigated in this study. Amongst carbon sources examined, glucose and sucrose we...

Proton NMR characterization of intact primary and metastatic melanoma cells in 2D & 3D cultures

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the differences between the primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines grown in 2D cultures and 3D cultures. METHODS: Primary melanoma cells (WM115) and metastatic melanoma cells (WM266) extracted from a single donor was cultured in 2D as well as 3D cultures. These cells were c...

Expresión del síndrome metabólico frente a factores ambientales

El Síndrome Metabólico (SM) se define como la asociación de alteraciones metabólicas e inflamatorias a nivel molecular, celular o hemodinámico, que pueden presentarse en forma simultánea o secuencial en un mismo individuo. Esto imprime un mayor riesgo de desarrollar diabetes y enfermedades cardiova...

Isoflurane provides neuroprotection in neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury by suppressing apoptosis

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (6), 2016
Abstract Background and objectives: Isoflurane is halogenated volatile ether used for inhalational anesthesia. It is widely used in clinics as an inhalational anesthetic. Neonatal hypoxic ischemia injury ensues in the immature brain that results in delayed cell death via excitotoxicity and oxidative str...

El metabolismo de la glucosa en pacientes con hipertensión arterial

Thiazide diuretics (TD) are recommended as first-line therapy in uncomplicated hypertension by several professional organizations. However, they also may pose a risk of glucose metabolism abnormalities in certain individuals. Early studies showed TD cause a small increase in fasting glucose. These effect...

Buffering action of acetate on hydrogen production by Ethanoligenens harbinense B49

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (5), 2016
The buffering effect of acetate on hydrogen production during glucose fermentation by Ethanoligenens harbinense B49 was investigated compared to phosphate, a widely used fermentative hydrogen production buffer. Specific concentrations of sodium acetate or phosphate were added to batch cultures, and the e...

Faster onset time of supraclavicular brachial plexus block using local anesthetic diluted with dextrose

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
Abstract Background and objectives: A high sodium concentration is known to antagonize local anesthetics when infiltrated around neural tissue. Thus, we hypothesized that the onset time for sensory and motor blockade, in supraclavicular brachial plexus block using ropivacaine diluted with dextrose would...
