Use of giant unilamellar lipid vesicles as antioxidant carriers in in vitro culture medium of bovine embryos
(Scientific Reports, 2022) [Artigo]Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are composed of lipophilic layers and are sensitive to the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The use of GUVs as microcarriers of biological macromolecules is particularly interesting ... -
Analysis of the associations of the T-786C and Glu298Asp polymorphisms of the eNOS gene as risk factors in the rupture of intracranial aneurysms
(Meta Gene, 2022) [Artigo]The mechanisms involved in aneurysmal etiology are complex and only partially understood. Genetic risk factors have already been related to the process of aneurysm rupture. Among the genetic factors, the T-786C and Glu298Asp ... -

(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2020) [Artigo]This study investigated the repercussions of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) on body composition and the structural organization of the soleus and cardiac muscles, including their vascularization, at different times of ... -
In vitro production of bovine embryos: Cumulus/granulosa cell gene expression patterns point to early atresia as beneficial for oocyte competence
(Animal Reproduction, 2017) [Artigo]In vitro production (IVP) of bovine embryos has become widespread technology implemented in cattle breeding and production. Here, we review novel data on cumulus/granulosa cell gene expression, as determined by RNAseq on ... -
Treatment with cyclic adenosine monophosphate modulators prior to in vitro maturation alters the lipid composition and transcript profile of bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes and blastocysts
(Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2018) [Artigo]Mammalian oocytes resume meiosis spontaneously after removal from the ovarian follicle. We tested the effects of a 2-h prematuration treatment (Pre-IVM) with forskolin (FSK) and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) in bovine ... -
Influence of nitric oxide and phosphodiesterases during in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes on meiotic resumption and embryo production
(Zygote, 2017) [Artigo]This study aimed to examine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) and different phosphodiesterase (PDE) families on meiosis resumption, nucleotides levels and embryo production. Experiment I, COCs were matured in vitro with the ... -
Screening of biotechnical parameters for production of bovine inter-subspecies embryonic chimeras by the aggregation of tetraploid Bos indicus and diploid crossbred Bos taurus embryos
(Reproductive Biology, 2016) [Artigo]The aggregation of a tetraploid zebu embryo (Bos indicus, a thermotolerant breed) with a diploid taurine embryo (Bos taurus, a thermosensitive breed) should create a complete taurine fetus, whose extra-embryonic components, ... -
Exercise increases the phenylephrine effects in isolated portal vein of trained rats
(Vascular Pharmacology, 2009) [Artigo]Physical exercise evokes an extensive circulatory redistribution. However, the influence of exercise upon the effects of sympathomimetic agonists in veins was not well studied. Thus, the present study aimed to determine ... -
Pharmacological evidence that methylene blue inhibits noradrenaline neuronal uptake in the rat vas deferens
(Polish Journal of Pharmacology, 2003) [Artigo]We report that the classical guanylate cyclase inhibitor methylene blue (MB, 1 μM or 10 μM), but not the selective guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxidazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (1 μM) or nitric oxide synthase ... -
Abortive and/or embryofetotoxic effect of Cinnamomum zeylanicum leaf extracts in pregnant rats
(Fitoterapia, 1994) [Artigo]Female Wistar rats received by gavage 70 mg/kg of aqueous and chloroform extracts of C. zeylanicum during pregnancy. The results showed that the females treated with both the extracts presented an increased number of ... -
Effects of methoxyflurane on intraocular and cerebrospinal fluid pressure in dogs with spontaneous or artificial respiration
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1979) [Artigo]Methoxyflurane (0.2 ml/kg over 5 min), administered by inhalation to dogs with spontaneous respiration, resulted approximately 10 minutes later in a significant increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) (13.3 mm Hg), cerebrospinal ... -
Generation of primordial germ cell-like cells from iPSCs derived from turner syndrome patients
