Regulação da Septina 9 na síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associado à malária

A malária é um problema mundial de saúde, com 249 milhões de casos de infecção, ocasionando 608 mil mortes no ano de 2022. Causada pelo gênero Plasmodium, são cinco principais espécies causadoras da malária no ser humano, o Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium ...

Endothelial expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products in experimental diabetes

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases including diabetes. The interaction between RAGE and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promotes gene expression, enhances the release of proinflammatory molecules and causes the gene...

Copper induces damage, oxidative stress and cell death in endothelium of chronic intoxicated Wistar rats

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are part of the functional balance of various systems, they can generate cellular damage by oxidative stress associated with disease processes such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and aging. Some studies report that copper induces damage to the...

Global endothelial function assessment using pulse wave analysis in hypercholesterolemia

To compare global endothelial function assessed by pulse wave analysis (PWA) using the ratio of endothelium dependent vasodilatation (EDV) to endothelium independent vasodilatation (EIV) in patients with hypercholesterolemia and controls. 92 subjects [46 hypercholesterolemics, 46 controls] were studied a...

El endotelio como órgano diana en la fisiopatología y la terapéutica de la hipertensión arterial
The endothelium as a target organ in pathophysiology and therapy of arterial hypertension

Rev. cuba. med; 60 (3), 2021
Hemos leído con gran atención el artículo de los autores González Rey y otros, titulado: Disfunción endotelial en una etapa precoz del diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial. Resulta muy interesante el tratamiento de un tema básico de gran interés en la clínica a través del uso de biomarcadores ...

Maternal Intake of Flaxseed During Lactation and Exercise Training Protect Against Salt Overload-Induced Aortic Remodeling in Adult Offspring

Abstract Background High dietary sodium intake can induce endothelial stiffness even without changes in blood pressure. Objectives To evaluate the effects of exercise training and chronic intake of sodium chloride solution on aortic morphology of male offspring of rat dams who consumed flaxseed during ...

Antioxidative Propolis From Stingless Bees (Heterotrigona Itama) Preserves Endothelium-Dependent Aortic Relaxation of Diabetic Rats: The Role of Nitric Oxide and Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate

Propolis from stingless bees (Heterotrigona itama) is a resinous compound that exhibits antihyperglycaemia, free radical scavenging, and cardioprotective properties. The effect of propolis on diabetic vessels has not been investigated. Thus, this research aimed to determine the effect of propolis supplem...

Disfunción endotelial. Mecanismos e implicancias en Covid-19
Endothelial dysfunction. Mechanisms and implications on Covid-19

Endothelium is the inner layer of vessels that separates circulating blood from the rest of the body tissues. Since its discovery, it has been involved in various functions, both systemic and organ specific. Currently, endothelial damage and failure in its functions is considered a key element in pathoph...

Oxidonitrergic and antioxidant effects of a low molecular weight peptide fraction from hardened bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on endothelium

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (6), 2021
About 3000 tons of beans are not used in human food due to hardening. Several studies on bean-derived bioactive peptides have shown potential to treat some diseases, including those relying on oxidative dysfunctions. We assessed the effects of peptides extracted from hardened bean Phaseolus vulgaris (PV)...
