Role of Training and Detraining on Inflammatory and Metabolic Profile in Infarcted Rats: Influences of Cardiovascular Autonomic Nervous System
(Mediators of Inflammation, 2014-01-01) [Artigo]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercise training (ET, 50-70% of VO2max, 5 days/week) and detraining (DT) on inflammatory and metabolic profile after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Male Wistar ...
Use of Guanidine Compounds in the Treatment of Neglected Tropical Diseases
(Current Organic Chemistry, 2014-01-01) [Artigo]
Over one billion people worldwide are afflicted by a group of 17 infectious diseases, known as the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), reaching mainly undeveloped countries that suffer with a lack of economic incentive, ...
Corrective effects of acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) juice intake on biochemical and genotoxical parameters in mice fed on a high-fat diet
(Mutation Research-fundamental And Molecular Mechanisms Of Mutagenesis, 2014-12-01) [Artigo]
Acerola contains high levels of vitamin C and rutin and shows the corresponding antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress on the other hand is an important factor in the development of obesity. In this study, we investigated ...
Pruning methods to MLP neural networks considering proportional apparent error rate for classification problems with unbalanced data
(Measurement, 2014-10-01) [Artigo]
This article deals with classification problems involving unequal probabilities in each class and discusses metrics to systems that use multilayer perceptrons neural networks (MLP) for the task of classifying new patterns. ...
Nasal and systemic inflammatory profile after short term smoking cessation
(Respiratory Medicine, 2014-07-01) [Artigo]
Introduction: Smoking cessation promotes health benefits and, despite cigarette smoking be an important pro inflammatory stimulus, there are few studies concerning the nasal and systemic inflammation; as well as the ...
StitchingPHm-A new algorithm for panoramic images
(Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, 2014-01-01) [Artigo]
In this paper it is presented a new algorithm for the construction of panoramic images (including 360 panoramas), which has as main characteristic to avoid the distortion that occurs by joining of several successive images ...
Monitoring of surface deformation in open pit mine using DInSAR time-series: A case study in the N5W iron mine (Carajás, Brazil) using TerraSAR-X data
(Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2014-01-01) [Trabalho apresentado em evento]
We present an investigation of surface deformation using Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) time-series carried out in an active open pit iron mine, the N5W, located in the Carajás Mineral Province (Brazilian Amazon ...
Electrochemical Properties of the Oxo-Manganese-Phenanthroline Complex Immobilized on Ion-Exchange Polymeric Film and Its Application as Biomimetic Sensor for Sulfite Ions
(Electroanalysis, 2014-10-01) [Artigo]
A biomimetic sensor containing the oxo-bridged dinuclear manganese-phenanthroline complex incorporated into a cation-exchange polymeric film deposited onto glassy carbon electrode for detection of sulfite was studied. ...
Treadmill Training Increases SIRT-1 and PGC-1 alpha Protein Levels and AMPK Phosphorylation in Quadriceps of Middle-Aged Rats in an Intensity-Dependent Manner
(Mediators of Inflammation, 2014-01-01) [Artigo]
The present study investigated the effects of running at 0.8 or 1.2 km/h on inflammatory proteins (i.e., protein levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and NF-kappa B) and metabolic proteins (i.e., protein levels of SIRT-1 and ...
The negligible effects of the antifungal natamycin on cholesterol-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine monolayers may explain its low oral and topical toxicity for mammals
(Colloids And Surfaces B-biointerfaces, 2014-10-01) [Artigo]
Natamycin is an effective, broad spectrum antifungal with no reported resistance, in contrast to most antimicrobials. It also exhibits reduced (oral and topical) toxicity to humans, which is probably associated with the ...
