Folk medicine reports have described the use of Chenopodium ambrosioides as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anthelmintic herb. These effects, including its activity against intestinal worms, are already scientifically observed. However, immunological mechanisms this species in treatment Schistosoma mansoni infection unknown. Aim study: To evaluate anti-Schistosoma effects a crude hydro-alcoholic extract (HCE). For vitro analysis, cercariae adult worms were exposed to different...
Brazil is one of the countries that experienced an epidemic microcephaly and other congenital manifestations related to maternal Zika virus infection which can result in Congenital Syndrome (CZS). Since modulate immune system, studying mothers' children's profiles become essential better understanding CZS development. Therefore, we investigated lymphocyte population profile children who developed their response this study. The study groups were formed from Plaque Reduction Neutralization...
The immunological mechanisms involved in the development of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) have yet to be fully clarified. This study aims assess immuno-inflammatory profile mothers and their children who been diagnosed with CZS. Blood samples, which were confirmed clinically using plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), collected from CZS (CZS+ group). Samples also did not develop had a negative PRNT result (CZS- data demonstrated correlation between leukocyte CZS+ mothers, more...
ABSTRACT In the search for new natural photoprotective agents, mesocarp of babassu (Attalea speciosa) stands out as a promising candidate due to its unique chemical composition and regional significance. this study, we investigated in vitro antioxidant properties flour extracts their fractions. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH ABTS assays. The sun protection factor (SPF) determined through Mansur assay, cytotoxicity RAW cells. samples exhibited high activity, especially more...
