Ultra-processed plant-based foods, such as burgers, have gained in popularity. Particularly the out-of-home (OOH) environment, evidence regarding their nutritional profile and environmental sustainability is still evolving. Plant-based burgers available at selected OOH sites were randomly sampled Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon London. (patty, bread condiment) (
Essential oils are natural compounds used by humans for scientific purposes due to their wide range of properties. Eugenol is mostly present in clove oil, while pulegone the main constituent pennyroyal oil. To guarantee safe use eugenol and both animals, this study addressed, first time, effects these compounds, at low doses (chronic toxicity) high (acute toxicity), laboratory animals. Thirty-five FVB/n female mice were randomly assigned seven groups (n = 5): group I (control, non-additive...
This study aimed to investigate the impact of a Western diet and resistance training on cardiac remodeling in rat model chemically induced mammary cancer. Fifty-six female Wistar rats were randomly assigned one eight experimental groups, evaluating standard diets, exercise sedentarism, induction Mammary cancer was via intraperitoneal administration N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) (50 mg/kg) at seven weeks age. The protocol consisted ladder climbing three times per week for an 18-week period,...
Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a eficácia e aplicabilidade do Epidural Blood Patch (EBP), ou tampão sanguíneo epidural, no tratamento da cefaleia pós-raquianestesia, revisando as evidências científicas disponíveis, indicações clínicas, os fatores preditivos de sucesso riscos associados ao procedimento. Metodologia: Trata-se uma revisão integrativa literatura, que incluiu artigos publicados entre 2020 2025, revisados por pares disponíveis em português inglês. As bases dados...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infectious agent and, in cases of persistent infection, may cause cancer. This study evaluated toxicological and antitumor properties Mentha spicata extract (MSE) KP14HPV16 mice, which carry HPV16 oncogenes. Thirty-three female FVB/n mice (Mus musculus), including 17 HPV-transgenic 16 wild-type (WT) were divided into six groups. The control groups received tap water (WT-C, n=5, HPV-C, n=6), while treatment either 0.50 mg/ml...
D/L-Nebivolol is a lypophilic beta1-adrenergic antagonist which devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and can increase nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability with its subsequent vasodilating properties. The purpose the present work was to assess effect long-term nebivolol administration on both renal damage endothelial dysfunction induced by mass reduction (RMR) in rats. Atenolol, does not NO bioavailability, included study as comparative beta-adrenoceptor antagonist. Rats were subjected...
Cancers induced by HPV remain a significant public health threat, fueling the study of new therapies.
Some diet profiles are associated with the risk of developing cancer; however, some nutrients show protective effects. Porphyra umbilicalis is widely consumed, having a balanced nutritional profile; its potential for cancer chemoprevention still needs comprehensive studies. In this study, we incorporated P. into mice transgenic human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), which spontaneously develop pre-malignant and malignant lesions, determined whether seaweed was able to block lesion...
The production of chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) is mostly concentrated in Europe. Chestnut recognized by its high content antioxidants and phytosterols. This work aimed to evaluate the effects dietary consumption over physiological variables FVB/n mice. Eighteen male 7-month-old mice were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 6): 1 (control group) fed a standard diet; 2 diet supplemented with 0.55% (w/w) chestnut; 3 1.1% chestnut. Body weight, water, food intake recorded...
Brassica by-products are a source of natural bioactive molecules such as glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, with potential applications in the nutraceutical functional food industries. However, effects oral sub-chronic exposure to broccoli by-product flour (BF) have not yet been evaluated. The objective this pilot study was analyse BF intake physiological parameters FVB/N mice fed 6.7% BF-supplemented diet for 21 days. Glucosinolates their derivatives were also quantified plasma urine....
