Efeitos da suplementação com simbióticos sobre a função intestinal e a inflamação sistêmica de idosos inseridos na comunidade - análises secundárias de um estudo clínico-randomizado

Arq. gastroenterol; 57 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Aging is a complex process marked by alterations on gut functioning and physiology, accompanied by an increase on the inflammatory status, leading to a scenario called "inflammaging". OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a synbiotic substance on systemic inflammation, gut functi...

Vanadium inhibits Type 2 diabetes mellitus-induced aortic ultrastructural alterations associated with the Inhibition of dyslipidemia and biomarkers of inflammation in rats

Int. j. morphol; 38 (1), 2020
The potential inhibitory effect of the insulin mimicking agent, vanadium on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)induced alterations to the aorta ultrastructure associated with the suppression of dyslipedima and biomarkers of inflammation has not been investigated before. Therefore, we tested whether vanadium ...

Prenatal mold exposure is associated with development of atopic dermatitis in infants through allergic inflammation

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 96 (1), 2020
Abstract Objective Mold exposure in early life may be associated with development of atopic dermatitis; however, studies of this link are inconclusive and evidence for the underlying mechanism(s) is lacking. This study identified the association between the time of mold exposure and development of atopi...

Relationships among oncostatin M, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation: a pilot study

ABSTRACT Objective Activated macrophages (M1-type macrophages) in adipose tissue secrete many proinflammatory cytokines that induce insulin resistance (IR). Oncostatin M (OSM), a member of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of Gp130 cytokines, plays an important role in a variety of biological functions, ...

Enhancement of cellular activity in hyperglycemic mice dermal wounds dressed with chitosan-alginate membranes

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (1), 2020
The use of specially designed wound dressings could be an important alternative to facilitate the healing process of wounds in the hyperglycemic state. Biocompatible dressings combining chitosan and alginate can speed up wound healing by modulating the inflammatory phase, stimulating fibroblast prolifera...

Effects of Physical Training on the Myocardium of Oxariectomized LDLr Knockout Mice: MMP 2/9, Collagen I/III, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (1), 2020
Abstract Background: The emergence of coronary heart disease is increased with menopause, physical inactivity and with dyslipidemia. Physical training is known to promote the improvement of cardiovascular functions. Objective: To investigate the effects of aerobic physical training on the left ventricl...

Inflammatory Biomarkers and Carotid Thickness in HIV Infected Patients under Antiretroviral Therapy, Undetectable HIV-1 Viral Load, and Low Cardiovascular Risk

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (1), 2020
Abstract Background: People living with HIV are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and carotid thickness, due to the inflammation caused by the virus, the antiretroviral therapy, and other risk factors. However, few studies have observed the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and carotid thi...

Papel de la proteína C reactiva y la velocidad de sedimentación globular en la predicción de colecistectomía laparoscópica dificultosa: su aplicación en un programa de residencia universitario

Rev. argent. cir; 112 (2), 2020
Antecedentes: la colecistectomía laparoscópica es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más frecuentemente realizados. Las diferencias en la anatomía y en el grado de inflamación vesicular suelen causar dificultades técnicas intraoperatorias. Objetivo: determinar el valor de la proteína C reactiv...
