Age-related changes and effects of regular low-intensity exercise on gait, balance, and oxidative biomarkers in the spinal cord of Wistar rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (7), 2019
The present study aimed to analyze age-related changes to motor coordination, balance, spinal cord oxidative biomarkers in 3-, 6-, 18-, 24-, and 30-month-old rats. The effects of low-intensity exercise on these parameters were also analyzed in 6-, 18-, and 24-month-old rats. Body weight, blood glucose, t...

Associação dos ácidos graxos poli-insaturados da série ômega 3 com parâmetros inflamatórios e estresse oxidativo em mulheres com câncer de mama: impacto do estadiamento clínico

Introdução: O câncer de mama (CM) correspondeu a 29,5% das neoplasias femininas em 2018, sendo que fatores relacionados ao estilo de vida, tais como alimentação podem explicar até 35% dessa neoplasia. Embora multicausal, é provável que desequilíbrio entre a ingestão de ácidos graxos ômega-3 e...

Efeito da ingestão de sucos de laranja, variedades Moro e Pera, sobre o estresse oxidativo de camundongos saudáveis e com resistência à insulina induzida por dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica

As laranjas, das variedades Moro e Pera, são conhecidas por sua composição de flavonoides, em especial, a subclasse flavanona, além das antocianinas na laranja Moro. Ambas as subclasses apresentam capacidade antioxidante, anti-inflamatória e hipolipidêmica, podendo atenuar as alterações metabóli...

Efeito da administração dos sucos de laranja, cvs. Pera e Moro, sobre o estresse oxidativo e lipídios plasmáticos em indivíduos obesos com resistência à insulina

A obesidade é um dos principais fatores etiológicos do desenvolvimento da resistência à insulina, e ambos são responsáveis, em parte, pelo aumento do estresse oxidativo e diabete mellitus tipo 2. Vários estudos têm mostrado os benefícios de uma dieta rica em vegetais e frutas, devido à ação d...

Estrés nitroxidativo pulmonar y sistémico en pacientes en ventilación mecánica con sepsis sin lesión pulmonar aguda y en pacientes en ventilación mecánica sin sepsis

Propósito: Durante la sepsis y la ventilación mecánica, se genera estrés oxidativo por activación de las células pulmonares endoteliales e inflamatorias y producción de especies reactivas del oxígeno (ERO). Nuestro principal objetivo fue estudiar la producción pulmonar y sistémica de óxido ní...

Resveratrol reduces store-operated Ca2+ entry and enhances the apoptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in adjuvant arthritis rats model via targeting ORAI1-STIM1 complex

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Resveratrol was reported to trigger the apoptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes In adjuvant arthritis rats but the subcellular mechanism remains unclear. Since ER stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress were involved in the effects of resveratrol with imbalance of calcium bio...

In vitro Antiproliferative and inhibition of oxidative DNA damage activities of n-butanol extract of Limonium bonduelli from Algeria

Abstract Plants are the main sources of natural antioxidants in the form of phenolic compounds, which help human beings to deal with oxidative stress, caused by free radical damage. For this reason, the present study was carried out to evaluate the antiproliferative, antioxidant and inhibition of oxidati...

Effect of vaporized perfluorocarbon on oxidative stress during the cold ischemia phase of lung graft preservation

J. bras. pneumol; 45 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFC) instillation has been studied experimentally as an adjuvant therapy in the preservation of lung grafts during cold ischemia. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether vaporized PFC is also protective of lung grafts at different cold ischemia times. We perfo...

Hydrogen sulfide protects H9c2 cardiomyoblasts against H2O2-induced apoptosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (4), 2019
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive chemical species that may cause irreversible tissue damage, and play a critical role in cardiovascular diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter that acts as a ROS scavenger with cardio-protective effects. In this study, we investigated the cy...

Moderate-intensity exercise allows enhanced protection against oxidative stress-induced cardiac dysfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (6), 2019
The progression of myocardial injury secondary to hypertension is a complex process related to a series of physiological and molecular factors including oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate whether moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) could improve cardiac function and oxidative stress in spont...
