5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide modify functional activity in submandibular gland of rats

J. oral res. (Impresa); 8 (5), 2019
Objective: Chemotherapy treatment against cancer produce systemic toxicities, among which are those related to important structures of the stomatognathic system and its functional activity. 5 Fluorouracil (5-FU) and cyclophosphamide (Cf) are drugs widely used in solid tumors and in bone marrow transplant...

Protein and lipid metabolism adjustments in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) during different periods of fasting and refeeding

Braz. j. biol; 78 (3), 2018
Abstract The fish may experience periods of food deprivation or starvation which produce metabolic changes. In this study, adult Rhamdia quelen males were subjected to fasting periods of 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and of refeeding 2, 4, 6, and 12 days. The results demonstrated that liver protein was depleted ...

A possible relationship between gluconeogenesis and glycogen metabolism in rabbits during myocardial ischemia

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Ischemia is responsible for many metabolic abnormalities in the heart, causing changes in organ function. One of modifications occurring in the ischemic cell is changing from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. This change causes the predominance of the use of carbohydrates as an energy substrate i...

Análise comparativa da reserva de glicogênio do miocárdio isquêmico de coelhos submetidos a cardioplegia hipotérmica ou normotérmica
Comparative analysis of glycogen storage of ischemic myocardium of rabbits sujected to hypothermia or normothermic cardioplegia

Neste trabalho, a comparaçao da reserva de glicogênio é utilizada para entender as modificaçoes na sensibilidade mitocondrial ao íon cálcio. Basicamente porque alteraçoes mitocondriais que envolvam perda da atividade de fosforilaçao oxidativa provocam rápida utilizaçao dos estoques de glicogên...
