Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts from the Brazilian grape sourdough
Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (2), 2014
Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water fermented by lactic acid bacteria and yeast, with a large use in bakery products. This study was developed with Brazilian grape (Niagara rosada) sourdough obtained from spontaneous fermentation. The aim of this work was to characterize genotypic and phenotypicall...
Chronic Hepatitis C treatment for genotype 2 or 3 in Brazil: cost effectiveness analysis of peginterferon plus ribavirin as first choice treatment
Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (2), 2014
Brazilian Guidelines to HCV treatment (2007) recommended that the first choice treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and genotype 2 or 3 is interferon alpha (IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks. The aim of this study is compare the cost and effectiveness to Hepatitis C treatment in pat...
Curcumin restores mitochondrial functions and decreases lipid peroxidation in liver and kidneys of diabetic db/db mice
Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Nitrosative and oxidative stress play a key role in obesity and diabetes-related mitochondrial dysfunction. The objective was to investigate the effect of curcumin treatment on state 3 and 4 oxygen consumption, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, ATPase activity and lipid oxidation in mitochondria i...

Genetic polymorphisms and asthma: findings from a case - control study in the Madeira island population
Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a complex disease influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. While Madeira has the highest prevalence of asthma in Portugal (14.6%), the effect of both genetic and environmental factors in this population has never been assessed. We categorized 98 asthma patients acco...

The genetic diversity of Sardinian myrtle (Myrtus communis L. ) populations
Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: The myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a common shrub widespread in the Mediterranean Basin. Its fruit and leaves exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and are used for their content of essential oils and for their medicinal properties, but most commonly as an ingredient in l...
Optimization of transgenesis conditions for the generation of CXCL2-luciferase reporter mice line
Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: Transgenesis by microinjection has been widely used for the generation of different mouse models. Different variables of the procedure may critically affect the efficiency of the process. A DNA construction that carries the CXCL2 promoter gene and firefly luciferase has been used to optimize ...
Reação de genótipos de batata-doce a nematóides de galhas em condições de temperatura elevada
Biosci. j. (Online); 29 (6), 2013
O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a reação de genótipos de batata-doce oriundos de sementes botânicas quanto a nematóides de galhas (M. incognita raça 2 e M. javanica) em condições de temperatura elevada. Para cada espécie de nematóides, foi instalado um experimento utilizando o delineamento e...
