Glycolytic pathway candidate markers in the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (3), 2021
Molecular changes that affect mitochondrial glycolysis have been associated with the maintenance of tumor cells. Some metabolic factors have already been described as predictors of disease severity and outcomes. This systematic review was conducted to answer the question: Is the glycolytic pathway correl...

Chlorophyll treatment combined with photostimulation increases glycolysis and decreases oxidative stress in the liver of type 1 diabetic rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (1), 2020
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) promotes cell death, and it has been successfully employed as a treatment resource for neuropathic complications of diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and hepatocellular carcinoma. The liver is the major organ involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis, and in pathological conditio...

MicroRNA-4290 suppresses PDK1-mediated glycolysis to enhance the sensitivity of gastric cancer cell to cisplatin

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (5), 2020
The development of chemotherapy resistance significantly impairs the efficiency of chemotherapy, but the underlying mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC) are complicated and still need to be further explored. Here, we aimed to reveal the effects of miR-4290/PDK1 (pyruvate dehydroge...

Differences between genders in anaerobic capacity during a supramaximal effort

Motriz (Online); 25 (3), 2019
Aim: The present study aimed to verify if there is a difference between genders in anaerobic capacity estimated by energetic equivalents of glycolytic and phosphagen pathways (AC[La-]+EPOCfast). Methods: In this way, 8 men and 8 women (physical education students) were subjected to the following sequence...

Recombinant production and biochemical and in silico characterization of lactate dehydrogenase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM-465

Background: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme of glycolytic pathway, ubiquitously found in living organisms. Increased glycolysis and LDH activity are associated with many pathologic conditions including inflammation and cancer, thereby making the enzyme a suitable drug target. Studies on conserve...

Advances in improving mammalian cells metabolism for recombinant protein production

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (3), 2013
Background: The production of recombinant proteins for therapeutic use represents a great impact on the biotechnology industry. In this context, established mammalian cell lines, especially CHO cells, have become a standard system for the production of such proteins. Their ability to properly configure a...

Enzymes and membrane proteins of ADSOL-preserved red blood cells

Säo Paulo med. j; 118 (2), 2000
CONTEXT: The preservative solution ADSOL (adenine, dextrose, sorbitol, sodium chloride and mannitol) maintains red cell viability for blood trans-fusion for 6 weeks. It would be useful to know about its preservation qualities over longer periods. OBJECTIVE: To determine some red cell biochemical paramete...

Drogas, inibidores y otras historias. De la quimioterapia a la toxicologia nutricional
Drugs, inhibitors and other stories. From cancer chemotherapy to nutritional toxicology

Acta cient. venez; 50 (4), 1999
La designación como ponente de la XVIII Conferencia Annual "Karl Gaede", instituída por la Asociación Venezolana de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular, me brindó la oportunidad para emprender un viaje retrospectivo a través de algunos aspectos de la actividad de investigación realizada a lo largo de...
