BackgroundCholinergic enzyme activities are altered in hypertension, reflecting a low-grade inflammation.Regular physical exercise exerts anti-inflammatory effects and has been described as coadjutant the treatment of hypertension.In this study, we investigated effect 6 weeks swimming training on cholinergic (acetylcholinesterase butyrylcholinesterase) Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME)-induced hypertensive rats. MethodsThe rats were divided into 4 groups: control (n =...
Human hair is an element with unquestionable relevance in society both for women and men. Therefore, it of great importance to develop new cosmetic products care capable restore improve hair's characteristics. Here, we explore the potential keratin-based particles protection recovery mechanical properties thermal stability.Keratin-based were obtained by high pressure homogenization (HPH) using keratin silk fibroin. The characterized regarding size, superficial charge polydispersity index....
Hypercholesterolemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein and blood cholesterol, causing inflammatory lesion. Purinergic signaling modulates the immune responses through adenine nucleotides nucleoside. Guaraná has hypocholesterolemic antiinflammatory properties. Considering that there are few studies demonstrating effects guaraná powder on metabolism nucleotides, we investigated its activity ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase...
Styling the hair with straightening irons is a popular daily routine that significantly damage keratin fiber due to high temperature application. In this study, we investigate effect of two fusion proteins based on human eye γD-crystallin conjugated keratin-based peptide (KP-Cryst Wt and KP-Cryst Mut) exposed thermal damage. The mutant form was designed improve protein stability promote interaction hair. Through it demonstrated protection Asian Caucasian virgin hair's structure by...
The aim of this study was to assess the effect aluminum on in vitro activity acid phosphatases (APases) four potato clones, Macaca and Dakota Rose (Al-sensitive), SMIC148-A Solanum microdontum (Al-tolerant), grown vitro, hydroponics or a greenhouse. enzyme assayed presence 0, 1.85, 3.70, 5.55 7.40 mM Al. In plantlets root APases were inhibited by Al all while shoot S. increased at concentrations. hydroponics, 1.85 Al, whereas decreased levels microdontum. greenhouse plantlets, SMIC148-A,...
A análise da expressão gênica é de grande importância para os estudos dos processos fisiológicos e metabólicos indivíduos sob condições estresse. Nesse processo a obtenção DNA complementar (cDNA) molecular RNA mensageiro (mRNA) mediante atividade transferase terminal enzima transcriptase reversa (RT) uma peça fundamental.
Tendo-se em vista a importância econômica das espécies do gênero Eucalyptus e o difícil controle da murcha de Ceratocystis, presente estudo teve por objetivo obter genes diferencialmente expressos clones grandis inoculados com isolado Ceratocystis fimbriata mediante construção bibliotecas cDNA obtidas meio hibridação subtrativa supressiva.
5H-Pyrido[4,3-b]indole was obtained from 3-formylindole in 16% overall yield by Jackson and Shannon modification of the Pomeranz-Fristch isoquinoline synthesis. The final cyclisation occurred but removal tosyl group oxidation dihydrocompound not efficient. Changes concentration acid catalyst gave 29% as best for last step. An NMR study is described.
