Resistance training improves the lipid profile, combat oxidative stress and inhibit MMP-2 activity in the left ventricle diet-induced obese rats

Motriz (Online); 26 (3), 2020
Abstract Aims: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the resistance training (RT) on the lipid profile and metabolism, oxidative stress, and activity of metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in the left ventricle (LV) of diet-induced obesity rats. Methods: Forty males Wistar rats 90 d...

Os efeitos das Metaloproteinases da matriz extracelular - MMPS e clorexidina no mecanismo de adesão dentária
The effects of metaloproteinases of the extracellular matrix - MMPs and chlorexidine in the dental adhesion mechanism

Rev. Salusvita (Online); 38 (4), 2019
Introdução: A adesão da resina composta à dentina ocorre pela formação da camada híbrida. Assim, sua degradação ocasiona a perda da resistência de união na interface resina/dentina, influenciando na longevidade da restauração. Após o condicionamento ácido e aplicação do sistema adesivo n...

Ramipril can alleviate the accumulation of renal mesangial matrix in rats with diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-1

Acta cir. bras; 34 (1), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the impact of Ramipril (RAM) on the expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and renal mesangial matrix (RMM) in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: The Sprague Dawley rats were divided into normal control (NC) group (n = 12), DN group (n = 11), a...

Liver ischemia and reperfusion injury. Pathophysiology and new horizons in preconditioning and therapy

Acta cir. bras; 33 (8), 2018
Abstract It is well known that during hepatic operative procedures, it is often critical that the irrigation is interrupted to avoid possible bleeding, blood transfusions, variable intensities, and their short and long-term consequences. It was believed in the past that the flow interruption should not e...

Segment­ specific expression of MMP/TIMP in the oviduct of llama (Lama glama) and gelatinolytic activity in the oviductal fluid

Int. j. morphol; 35 (2), 2017
Oviductal molecules have the potential to improve the reproductive biotechnologies. In camelids, knowledge and assessment of the oviductal environment are necessary to successfully develop species-specific reproductive technologies, especially because of the camelids reproductive particularities. Among t...

Relationship between matrix metalloproteinases and the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (6), 2017
Ovarian cancer is one of the most malignant genital cancers, with a high mortality rate. Many researchers have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have remarkably high expression in ovarian cancer tissues. MMPs are considered to be related to the occurrence, development, invasion and metastas...

18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and serum cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in the assessment of disease activity in Takayasu's arteritis

Rev. bras. reumatol; 56 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET–CT) and serum levels of different cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) and associations with disease activity. ...

Ethyl acetate fraction from Angelica sinensis inhibits IL-1β-induced rheumatoid synovial fibroblast proliferation and COX-2, PGE2, and MMPs production

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: The root of Angelica sinensis (AS), also known as "Dang-gui," was a popular herbal medicine widely used in the treatment of gynecological diseases in China, Korea, and Japan for a long time. This study aimed to determine the effects of ethyl acetate fraction from Angelica sinensis (EAAS) on t...
