Oxidative stress plays a vital role in female fertility, yet the mechanisms regulating oxidative balance canine endometrium remain poorly understood. This study investigates dynamics of antioxidant enzyme system endometrium, focusing on superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), reductase (GSR), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), along with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) total cellular thiols. Enzyme activities were revealed five different...
RESUMOA segurança do paciente é essencial para a qualidade da assistência em saúde, exigindo adesão às boas práticas prevenir erros e eventos adversos. Este estudo analisou de no preparo antibióticos, por meio uma pesquisa epidemiológica transversal, abordagem quantitativo-qualitativa, com 94 profissionais enfermagem. Os dados, coletados entre abril julho 2021, avaliaram o cumprimento das diretrizes institucionais ambiente dos medicamentos. resultados indicaram desafios na completa...
Background Increased oxidative stress and changes in antioxidant capacity observed both clinical experimental diabetes mellitus have been implicated the etiology of chronic diabetic complications.Many authors shown that hyperglycemia leads to an increase lipid peroxidation patients animals reflecting a rise reactive oxygen species production.The aim study was compare susceptibility mitochondria from brain liver Goto-Kakizaki (12-month-old diabetic) rats (GK rats), model non-insulin dependent...
Because diabetes mellitus is associated with impairment of testicular function, ultimately leading to reduced fertility, this study was conducted evaluate the existence a cause-effect relationship between increased oxidative stress in and mitochondrial antioxidant capacity. The susceptibility capacity (in terms glutathione, coenzyme Q, vitamin E content) testis preparations isolated from Goto-Kakizaki (GK) non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats Wistar control rats, 1 yr age, evaluated. It found...
The antioxidant effects of carvedilol and its analog BM-910228 (also known as SB 211475) were studied in rat liver mitochondria well their action on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Carvedilol inhibited ADP/Fe(2+)-initiated lipid peroxidation (measured membranes thiobarbituric acid reactive substances oxygen consumption) with IC(50) values 10.9 0. 33 microM, respectively. Under the same conditions, value for Trolox C was 18.8 microM. At concentration range showing activity both compounds prevent...
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 43 consecutive children (35 boys and 8 girls), 4-14 years age living in an urban area, who were hospitalized at the Instituto de Infectologia Emilio Ribas (Sao Paulo, Brazil) from January 1989 to December 1995 with acute illness subsequently diagnosed as leptospirosis. Epidemiologic data indicated contact contaminated water most cases (88%). The patient sera reacted strongly Leptospira interrogans serovars copenhageni (45%) icterohaemorrhagiae...
Orange thyme (Thymus fragrantissimus) is becoming widely used in food as a condiment and herbal tea, nevertheless its chemical composition potential bioactivities are largely unknown. Thus the objective of this work to obtain detailed phytochemical profile T. fragrantissimus by exhaustive ethanolic extraction aqueous decoction mimicking consumption. Extracts showed high content rosmarinic acid, luteolin-O-hexuronide eriodictyol-O-hexuronide; these were main phenolic compounds present orange...
Abstract Mitochondrial bioenergetics is based on the generation of protonmotive force by electron transport chain. The used mitochondria for different critical aspects its normal function, ranging from calcium accumulation to synthesis ATP. transmembrane electric potential (ΔΨ) major component and also main responsible ATP mitochondrial synthase. Although several methods can be measure ΔΨ, use tetraphenylphosphonium cation (TPP + )‐selective electrode still a method election due sensitivity....
