Leptin: Master regulator of biological functions that affects breathing
(Comprehensive Physiology, 2020) [Artigo]Obesity is a global epidemic in developed countries accounting for many of the metabolic and cardiorespiratory morbidities that occur in adults. These morbidities include type 2 diabetes, sleepdisordered breathing (SDB), ... -
Reciprocal interactions between sodium appetite and need-free sugar intake
(Appetite, 2020) [Artigo]Behavioral sensitization occurs during sodium appetite (expressed as sodium intake to compensate for depleted sodium) and need-free sodium intake (expressed as daily overnight sodium intake in excess of dietary sodium ... -
Influence of bisphosphonates on the behavior of osteoblasts seeded onto titanium discs
(Brazilian Dental Journal, 2020) [Artigo]Among other factors, types of bisphosphonates and treatment regimens seem to be strongly associated with the success or failure of installation of osseointegrated implants. This study investigated the influence of two ... -
Anti-hypertensive effect of hydrogen peroxide acting centrally
(Hypertension Research, 2020) [Artigo]Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or the increase of endogenous H2O2 centrally produced by catalase inhibition with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATZ) injected icv reduces the pressor responses ... -
Mineral preference in rats treated with muscimol into the lateral parabrachial nucleus
(Neuroscience Letters, 2020) [Artigo]Injection of muscimol, a GABAA receptor agonist, into the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) induces 0.3 M NaCl intake in rats. In the present work, we investigated whether such an effect applies to hypertonic (0.3 M) ... -
Renovascular hypertension elevates pulmonary ventilation in rats by carotid body-dependent mechanisms
(American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2020) [Artigo]The two kidney-one clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension depends on the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic overactivity. The maintenance of 2K1C hypertension also depends on inputs from the carotid bodies (CB), which ... -
Proteolytic activity, degradation, and dissolution of primary and permanent teeth
(International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2020) [Artigo]Background: Primary and permanent teeth composition may influence dissolution and degradation rates. Aim: To compare the dissolution and degradation of primary and permanent teeth. Design: Enamel and dentin powders were ... -
Topical application of lectin Artin M improves wound healing in defects created in the palatal mucosa: an in vivo study in dogs
(Odontology, 2020) [Artigo]Previous studies have shown that topical application of lectin Artin-M accelerates wound healing in the rat oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate, by means of histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) the effects ... -
Streptococcus mutans and actinomyces naeslundii interaction in dual-species biofilm
(Microorganisms, 2020) [Artigo]The study of bacterial interaction between Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces naeslundii may disclose important features of biofilm interspecies relationships. The aim of this study was to characterize—with an emphasis ... -
Modulation of hypercapnic respiratory response by cholinergic transmission in the commissural nucleus of the solitary tract
(Pflugers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 2020) [Artigo]The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) is an important area of the brainstem that receives and integrates afferent cardiorespiratory sensorial information, including those from arterial chemoreceptors and baroreceptors. ... -
Catalase blockade reduces the pressor response to central cholinergic activation
(Brain Research Bulletin, 2019) [Artigo]Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a reactive oxygen species, or the blockade of catalase (enzyme that degrades H2O2 into H2O and O2) with icv injection of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATZ) ... -
Simvastatin-Enriched Macro-Porous Chitosan-Calcium-Aluminate Scaffold for Mineralized Tissue Regeneration
(Brazilian dental journal, 2020) [Artigo]The present study evaluated the odontogenic potential of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) exposed to chitosan scaffolds containing calcium aluminate (CHAlCa) associated or not with low doses of simvastatin (SV). Chitosan ... -
