The increase in the incidence of fungal infections associated with limited therapeutic arsenal available and increasing rate resistance pathogenic fungi reinforce need for research new antifungal agents. Thus, this study aims to evaluate activity peptide LyeTx I mnΔK, a shortened analogue natural derived from spider venom, against Candida species. mnΔK showed potent spp. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) fungicide (MFC) between 4 32 µM. also completely inhibited yeast-to-hypha...
Abstract In this study, renal tissue, subdivided into the cortex and medulla of Wistar rats subjected to a cafeteria diet (CAF) for 24 days or normal diet, was used analyze whether enzyme Na,K‐ATPase activity modified by CAF as well α1 subunit expression levels. The lipid profile plasma membrane oxidative stress were verified. evaluation, no alteration found, but significant decrease 30% in detected enzyme. There 24% phospholipids submitted CAF, 17% increase cholesterol levels cortex, 23%...
Estudos apontam que o consumo excessivo de sacarose, como fonte frutose, esta ligado a quadros hiperuricemia, qual tem papel chave na fisiopatologia da síndrome metabólica. Neste contexto se destaca utilização do alopurinol, um fármaco hipouricêmico, porém evidências sua metabólica ainda são escassas, motiva avaliações mais profundas. Este trabalho busca analisar participação alopurinol e sacarose dieta no tecido adiposo branco retroperitonial (TAB retro) epididimal epi) em ratos. Ratos...
