Parvalbumin and Ubiquitin as Potential Biomarkers of Mercury Contamination of Amazonian Brazilian Fish
(2020-10-01)
Recent studies have demonstrated the association of mercury (Hg) with some fish proteins, milk, and hair from individuals exposed to the element in the Amazon. However, few studies involve identifying biomarkers of mercury ...
3D osteoarthritic changes in TMJ condylar morphology correlates with specific systemic and local biomarkers of disease
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-10-01)
Objective: To assess 3D morphological variations and local and systemic biomarker profiles in subjects with a diagnosis of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA).Design: Twenty-eight patients with long-term TMJ ...
Use of clearance rate in Choromytilus chorus (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) as a non-destructive biomarker of aquatic pollution
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2003)
Reduced levels of potential circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases in apparently healthy vegetarian men
(2016-10-01)
Background Several evidences report that a vegetarian diet is protector against cardiovascular diseases. Few studies have demonstrated the circulating profile of cardiovascular biomarkers in vegetarians. Therefore, the ...
Validation of a suite of biomarkers of fish health in the tropical bioindicator species, tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum)
(2017-02-01)
Here we explore the dose-dependent response of the tropical fish tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) to intraperitoneal injection of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) at doses of 0 (carrier control), 1, 10, 100 and 1000 μmolar BaP Kg−1 ...
Preliminary evaluation of circulating microRNAs as potential biomarkers in paracoccidioidomycosis
(2017-03-01)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs (length, 19-24 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression by either mRNA degradation or translational inhibition of proteins. Circulating miRNAs, which are extremely stable and protected ...
Shell alterations in limpets as putative biomarkers for multi-impacted coastal areas
(2017-01-01)
During the last years, shell alterations in gastropods have been proposed as tools to be used in monitoring programs. However, no studies were so far performed investigating the relationships among shell parameters and ...
Intranuclear crystalloids of Antarctic sea urchins as a biomarker for oil contamination
(SPRINGER, 2010)
Because of human actions, biomarkers have become important to detect and mitigate pollution. This study showed that crystalloids can be a biomarker for analyses of low levels of water-soluble fractions of oil (WSF). Antarctic ...
Impact of skeletal maturation on bone metabolism biomarkers and bone mineral density in healthy Brazilian male adolescents
(2011-09-01)
Objective: To evaluate the behavior of biomarkers of bone formation and resorption in healthy male Brazilian adolescents according to their biological maturation. Methods: Eighty-seven volunteers were divided into age ...
