African ancestry seems to be a risk factor for hypertension; however, few genetic studies have addressed this issue. This study aimed investigate the prevalence of polymorphisms NOS3; rs1799983, IGFBP3; rs11977526 and TCF7L2; rs7903146 in Brazilian women descent their association with hypertension. The prevalences less frequent genotypes were 26.5% TT genotype 16.7% AA rs11977526, 18.3% rs7903146. For these conditions, hypertension PR (adjusted) relatively ancestral were, respectively: 52.0%...

Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by Leishmania. Chemotherapy remains the mainstay for leishmaniasis control; however, available drugs fail to provide parasitological cure, and are associated with high toxicity. Natural products promising leads development of novel chemotherapeutics against leishmaniasis. This work investigated leishmanicidal properties ethanolic extract Croton blanchetianus (EECb) on Leishmania infantum amazonensis, found that EECb, rich in terpenic compounds, was...
