Antibiofilm and anti-caries effects of an experimental mouth rinse containing Matricaria chamomilla L. extract under microcosm biofilm on enamel
(Journal of Dentistry, 2020) [Artigo]Objective: This study evaluated the antibiofilm and anti-caries effects of an experimental mouth rinse containing aqueous extract of Matricaria chamomilla L. Methods: Microcosm biofilm was produced on bovine enamel, from ... -
AT1 receptor antagonism promotes bone loss attenuation in experimental periodontitis, blocks inflammatory mediators, and upregulates antioxidant enzymes and bone formation markers
(Journal of Periodontology, 2020) [Artigo]Background: The initiation and progression of periodontitis might involve a local renin-angiotensin system in periodontal tissue. This study hypothesized that Losartan treatment could promote protection to rats submitted ... -
Investigation of the Early Healing Response to Dicationic Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids: A Biocompatible Coating for Titanium Implants
(ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering, 2020) [Artigo]Dicationic imidazolum-based ionic liquids with amino acid anions (IonL) have been proposed as a multifunctional coating for titanium dental implants, as their properties have been shown to address multiple early complicating ... -
MicroRNA-126 upregulation, induced by training, plays a role in controlling microcirculation in dexamethasone treated rats
(Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2020) [Artigo]Microcirculation maintenance is associated with microRNAs. Nevertheless, the role of microRNAs induced by training in preventing dexamethasone (DEX)-induced microvascular rarefaction remains unknown. The study aim was to ... -
Training counteracts DEX-induced microvascular rarefaction by improving the balance between apoptotic and angiogenic proteins
(Steroids, 2020) [Artigo]This work investigated the mechanisms induced by exercise training that may contribute to attenuate dexamethasone (DEX)-induced microvascular rarefaction and hypertension. Wistar rats underwent training protocol or were ... -
