Frutanos tipo inulina associados à dieta de cafeteria: efeito no perfil cardiometabólico de ratos Wistar

A dieta de cafeteria foi desenvolvida a fim de mimetizar a dieta ocidentalizada, uma vez que esta associa-se a desordens no perfil cardiovascular, como dislipidemias, hiperglicemia, acúmulo de gordura corporal, entre outros. Os frutanos tipo inulina (FTI) são fibras solúveis categorizados como prebió...

Influence of the geometry of nanostructured hydroxyapatite and alginate composites in the initial phase of bone repair

Acta cir. bras; 34 (2), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To analyze, histomorphologically, the influence of the geometry of nanostructured hydroxyapatite and alginate (HAn/Alg) composites in the initial phase of the bone repair. Methods: Fifteen rats were distributed to three groups: MiHA - bone defect filled with HAn/Alg microspheres; GrHA...
