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...

Autophagy protects against neural cell death induced by piperidine alkaloids present in Prosopis juliflora (Mesquite)

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Prosopis juliflora is a shrub that has been used to feed animals and humans. However, a synergistic action of piperidine alkaloids has been suggested to be responsible for neurotoxic damage observed in animals. We investigated the involvement of programmed cell death (PCD) and autophagy on the m...

Rescuing axons from degeneration does not affect retinal ganglion cell death

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (4), 2016
After a traumatic injury to the central nervous system, the distal stumps of axons undergo Wallerian degeneration (WD), an event that comprises cytoskeleton and myelin breakdown, astrocytic gliosis, and overexpression of proteins that inhibit axonal regrowth. By contrast, injured neuronal cell bodies sho...
