Inhibition of Mouse Urinary Bladder Carcinogenesis by A double dagger ai Fruit (Euterpe oleraceae Martius) Intake
(Plant Foods For Human Nutrition, 2012-09-01) [Artigo]
A double dagger ai, fruit from Euterpe oleraceae Martius, is consumed in natura and in a variety of beverages and food preparations and possesses several potential antioxidant compounds. In a first study for anticarcinogenicity ...
Differential morphofunctional characteristics and gene expression in fast and slow muscle of rats with monocrotaline-induced heart failure
(Journal of Molecular Histology, 2011-06-01) [Artigo]
Heart failure (HF) is characterized by limited exercise tolerance, skeletal muscle atrophy, a shift toward fast muscle fiber, and myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) changes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) also contribute to ...
The Effects of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch-Hypertonic Saline in Resuscitation of Dogs with Hemorrhagic Shock
(Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2011-02-01) [Artigo]
BACKGROUND: Hemodynamic and global oxygen transport variables have failed to reflect splanchnic hypoperfusion, resulting in a failure to recognize inadequately treated hemorrhagic shock. Volemic expansion after fluid ...
The Temperature and Humidity in a Low-Flow Anesthesia Workstation With and Without a Heat and Moisture Exchanger
(Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2011-09-01) [Artigo]
BACKGROUND: The Drager Primus anesthesia workstation has a built-in hotplate to heat the patient's exhaled gas. The fresh gas flow is mixed with the heated exhaled gas as they pass through the soda lime canister. A heat ...
Intraoperative and Anesthesia-Related Cardiac Arrest and Its Mortality in Older Patients: A 15-Year Survey in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
(Plos One, 2014-08-12) [Artigo]
Background: Little information is known about factors that influence perioperative and anesthesia-related cardiac arrest (CA) in older patients. This study evaluated the incidence, causes and outcome of intraoperative and ...
Multivariate analysis for animal selection in experimental research
(Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015-02-01) [Artigo]
Background: Several researchers seek methods for the selection of homogeneous groups of animals in experimental studies, a fact justified because homogeneity is an indispensable prerequisite for casualization of treatments. ...
Potentially modifiable predictors of mortality in patients treated with long-term oxygen therapy
(Respiratory Medicine, 2011-03-01) [Artigo]
Introduction: Anemia is considered a systemic manifestation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); however, few studies have described its influence on chronic respiratory failure (CRF) prognosis. We aimed to ...
Administration of physiologic levels of triiodothyronine increases leptin expression in calorie-restricted obese rats, but does not influence weight loss
(Metabolism-clinical and Experimental, 2010-01-01) [Artigo]
Obesity has become a major public health problem, most commonly treated via dietary restriction to promote weight loss. Although leptin and thyroid hormones are involved in the regulation of energy balance, the role of ...
The increase of dairy intake is the main dietary factor associated with reduction of body weight in overweight adults after lifestyle change program
(Nutricion Hospitalaria, 2015) [Artigo]
This study evaluated which was the main nutritional change associated with weight reduction of overweight adult participants of a lifestyle change program. It was hypothesized that increases in dairy intake could be an ...
Pharmacological dose of alpha-tocopherol induces cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats determined by echocardiography and histology
(Human & Experimental Toxicology, 2011-10-01) [Artigo]
The effect of pharmacological dose of cc-tocopherol on heart health was determined in Wistar rats. Animals were randomly assigned to either C (control, n = II) or E (cc-tocopherol, n = II) group. Animals received corn oil ...
