Use of derived adipose stem cells to reduce complications of cutaneous scarring in smokers. An experimental model in rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) in reducing the necrosis area in an experimental model of cutaneous ischemic flap in rats submitted to subcutaneous nicotine injection to simulate a smoker patient. Methods In an experimental study, 30 rats were enrolled and di...

Does caffeine ingestion before a short-term sprint interval training promote body fat loss?

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (12), 2019
We investigated the effect of caffeine ingestion combined with a 2-wk sprint interval training (SIT) on training-induced reductions in body adiposity. Twenty physically-active men ingested either 5 mg/kg of cellulose as a placebo (PLA, n=10) or 5 mg/kg of caffeine (CAF, n=10) 60 min before each SIT sessi...

Adipose tissue is less responsive to food restriction anti-inflammatory effects than liver, muscle, and brain in mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (1), 2019
High caloric intake promotes chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic diseases such as type-2 diabetes, which may be prevented by food restriction (FR). The effect of FR on expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes in adipose tissue, liver, muscle, and brain was compared. Ma...

Age-related body composition differences in female police officers

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: Since performance in police occupations may depend on body composition and physical abilities, women are less likely to become police officers. However, information on age-related differences in body composition among female police officers (FPO) barely exists. Thus, this study aimed to investig...

Deficiência de vitamina D e menopausa: efeitos no fígado e no tecido adiposo periovariano de camundongos

No presente estudo, avaliamos o impacto da deficiência de vitamina D em camundongos fêmeas ovariectomizadas. A hipótese do nosso estudo é que a deficiência de vitamina D aumenta a inflamação no tecido adiposo e promove acúmulo de gordura hepática em modelo de menopausa. Camundongos C57BL/6 fême...

Correlation of salivary immunoglobulin A with Body Mass Index and fat percentage in overweight/obese children

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Obesity is considered a risk factor for periodontal health due to the low- grade inflammation promoted by the increased adipose tissue. Objective: This study aimed to determine correlations and associations between gingival inflammation (Simplified Oral Hygiene Index, and Gingival Index), saliva...

Avaliação da atividade biológica de preparações homeopáticas de antiadiponectina em camundongos submetidos a dieta hipercalórica
Biological activity of homeopathic preparations of adiponectin in mice subjected to a hypercaloric diet

A adiponectina foi originalmente identificada como uma proteína expressa e produzida por adipócitos do tecido gorduroso abdominal de várias espécies animais, cuja função é manter a homeostase do tecido adiposo em relação às demandas energéticas do corpo. Preparações homeopáticas de substâ...

Transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in refractory crohn's disease: systematic review

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 32 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Background: Crohn's disease is a pathological condition that has different options of treatment, but there are patients who need other therapeutic approach, such as the use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Aim: Systematic literature review to determine the different ways of adipose-d...
