We have recently described a new peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, alamandine, derivative angiotensin-(1-7). Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member D (MrgD) was identified as its receptor. Although similar cardioprotective effects alamandine to those angiotensin-(1-7) been described, significance this in heart function is still elusive. aimed evaluate functional role MrgD using MrgD-deficient mice. localized cardiomyocytes by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy....
The Mas protooncogene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that has been described as functional for the cardioprotective fragment of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7). aim this current study was to evaluate responsiveness expression in hearts during different physiological and pathological conditions rats. Physical training considered condition, while isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy, myocardial infarction DOCA-salt model hypertension were used models heart injury....
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus that may result in blindness. We evaluated the effects activation endogenous angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 on early stages DR. Rats were administered an intravenous injection streptozotocin to induce hyperglycemia. The ACE2 activator 1-[[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl] amino]-4-(hydroxymethyl)-7-[[(4-methylphenyl) sulfonyl] oxy]-9H-xanthone 9 (XNT) was by daily gavage. death retinal ganglion cells (RGC) histological...
Diabetic patients present a high level of cardiac arrhythmias and risk sudden death. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) plays key role in diabetes diseases. study aimed to evaluate whether an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator, diminazene aceturate (DIZE), could improve the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced electrical changes ventricular repolarization hyperglycaemic rats. Hyperglycaemia was induced Wistar male rats with STZ (60 mg/kg/iv). After 4 weeks injection, were daily treated...
This study aimed to assess the anatomical and morphometric characteristics of main zygomaticofacial (ZFF), zygomaticoorbital (ZOF), zygomaticotemporal (ZTF) foramina in Brazilian dry skulls. 61, 69, 42 skulls for ZFF, ZOF, ZTF were evaluated by a single calibrated examiner format, transverse vertical diameters, distances from landmarks. Paired t test, Wilcoxon Pearson Spearman correlations used. Circular outline was predominant format ZFF ZTF, while oval most frequent ZOF. Median...
This study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited papers in Dentistry, with a focus on female leadership dental research. Papers were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS- CC) category 'Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine'. Gender was assessed through WoS-CC, Scopus, ResearchGate, social media, institutional websites, and software that assigns gender according first names (https://genderapi.io). Characteristics authors roles retrieved, such as affiliation, publication history,...
Abstract
 Aim: This study assessed whether the presence of malocclusion had a negative impact on oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL) eight to ten-year-old children low socioeconomic status.
 Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted with total 111 children, ten years age, randomly selected from public schools Diamantina, MG, Brazil. The number determined by sample size calculation. Two calibrated examiners performed clinical examinations for diagnosis malocclusion, dental...
To conduct a morphometric evaluation of the incisive canal, adjacent structures, and their anatomic variations in Brazilian individuals.A retrospective study was conducted using sample 157 multislice computed tomography images adult individuals both sexes (20-96 years). The exam performed with RadiAnt DICOM Viewer 4.0.1 (64-bit) software that uses PACS standard for visualization medical dental images.The values length height thickness palatine bone plate, latero-lateral diameter foramen were...
Cardiac complications are one of the main causes death in diabetes. Several studies have shown anti-diabetic effects bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC). In present study, we investigated whether MSC-transplantation can revert cardiac dysfunction streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and immunoregulatory MSC were examined. The divided three groups: Non-diabetic, Diabetic Diabetic-Treated that received 5x106 4 weeks after establishment Four MSC-therapy, systemic metabolic parameters,...
