Fetal exposure to sevoflurane induces long-term cognitive impairment. Histone acetylation regulates the transcription of genes involved in memory formation. We investigated whether sevoflurane exposure during late-pregnancy induces neurocognitive impairment in offspring, and if this is related to histone...
Abstract Acetylated cassava starch with low and medium degrees of substitution (DS) were synthesized. Also, the effect of DS on swelling power, solubility, morphological properties, gelatinization temperature, paste clarity and moisture sorption were studied. Swelling power and solubility in water betwee...
O líquen plano (LP) é uma doença mucocutânea, inflamatória, imunologicamente mediada por
linfócitos T citotóxicos (LTCD8+). Enquanto o líquen plano oral (LPO) é considerado uma
lesão potencialmente maligna, o líquen plano cutâneo (LPC) é uma condição tipicamente
autolimitada, sugerindo que...
Abstract Thymol is a monoterpene and acetylation form of this compound can reduce the toxicity and enhance its biological effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thymol and thymol acetate (TA) on egg, larva and adult Haemonchus contortus and the cuticular changes, acute toxicit...
High plasma levels of homocysteine (Hcy) promote the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism by which Hcy mediates neurotoxicity has not been elucidated. We observed that upon incubation with Hcy, the viability of a neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a declined in a dose-dependent ma...
Over the last decade, great progress has been made in elucidating how the human genome operates in the chromatin context. This paper describes our work on two human acetyltransferases, PCAF and TIP60, and their interaction partners. This study provides new clues on the function of these enzymes. In a str...
