Biomarcadores traslacionales de modelos in vitro e in vivo de daño renal: Una perspectiva para abordar nefrotoxicidad desde múltiples factores etiológicos

Cienc. tecnol. salud; 7 (1), 2020
La prevalencia de enfermedad renal ha aumentado considerablemente en la última década y está previsto que crezca en los próximos años. Recientemente, diversos modelos se han utilizado para entender los procesos fisiopatológicos de daño renal y para la búsqueda de futuros candidatos farmacológico...

Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-Kappa Ligand and Osteoprotegerin Expressions on Hyperglycemic Wistar Rats (Rattus Novergicus) During Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Abstract Objective: To investigate the differences of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) expressions between normoglycemic and hyperglycemic Wistar rats (Rattus Novergicus) during Orthodontic Tooth Movement (OTM). Material and Methods: This study was t...

Efeito da infusão da solução M& G na proteção do tecido renal de ratos Wistar submetidos a isquemia e reperfusão programada

J. vasc. bras; 19 (), 2020
Resumo Contexto A isquemia e reperfusão (I/R) renal está envolvida diretamente com insuficiência renal aguda, ocorrendo em casos como infarto por embolização ou trombose, quadros de septicemia e transplante renal. Esse processo é complexo, envolvendo respostas imunes inatas e adaptativas, presenç...

Evaluation of Indigo carmine on hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury

Acta cir. bras; 35 (9), 2020
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of treatment with Indigo Carmine (IC) on rat livers subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods The animals were subdivided into 4 groups: 1.SHAM group(SH) - saline; 2.SHAM group with IC-2mg/Kg(SHIC); 3.IR group - rats submitted to ischemia and reperfusi...

Exploring the role of neurogenic pathway-linked cholecystokinin release in remote preconditioning-induced cardioprotection

Acta cir. bras; 35 (9), 2020
Abstract Purpose: The current study explored the involvement of neurogenic pathway-linked cholecystokinin (CCK) release in RIP-induced cardioprotection in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were subjected to four cycles of alternate episodes of ischemia and reperfusion (five min each) to induce RIP. There...

Chronic aerobic exercise associated to low-dose L-NAME improves contractility without changing calcium handling in rat cardiomyocytes

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (3), 2020
Nitric oxide (NO) inhibition by high-dose NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) is associated with several detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. However, low-dose L-NAME increases NO synthesis, which in turn induces physiological cardiovascular benefits, probably by activating a protectiv...

Effects of NO/cGMP inhibitors in a rat model of anaphylactoid shock

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (3), 2020
Anaphylactic shock can be defined as an acute syndrome, and it is the most severe clinical manifestation of allergic diseases. Anaphylactoid reactions are similar to anaphylactic events but differ in the pathophysiological mechanism. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibitors during anaphylaxis suggest that NO might d...

VPA/PLGA microfibers produced by coaxial electrospinning for the treatment of central nervous system injury

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (4), 2020
The central nervous system shows limited regenerative capacity after injury. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating traumatic injury resulting in loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic function distal from the level of injury. An appropriate combination of biomaterials and bioactive substances is curre...

Effects of anastrozole on Ki-67 antigen expression in the vaginal epithelium of female rats in persistent estrus

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: Aromatase inhibitors are the first-choice drugs for the treatment of hormone sensitive breast cancer. However, in addition to the scarcity of studies, there are controversies about their effects on vaginal epithelial cell proliferation in rats, especially those in persistent estrus. METHODS:...

Evaluation of Glucosamine Effect Against Heart and Brain Damage Induced by Y-radiation or Aluminium Chloride in Female Rats

Abstract Glucosamine is known as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and as neuroprotective as well as using to treat many of diseases. This work aimed to investigate the remedial effect of glucosamine (20mg/kg b.wt) against the damage induced by a single dose of γ-radiation (8Gy) or aluminium chloride (...
