Venom Composition and Diet of the Cantil Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi (Serpentes: Viperidae)
(1999-12)
The southernmost subspecies of the cantil, Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi, occurs in almost all terrestrial habitats of the sector Santa Rosa National Park, in Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica. We obtained 21 ...
Leaf and flower essential oil compositions of Gliricidia sepium (Fabaceae) from Costa Rica
(2015-04)
Gliricidia is a small genus of flowering plants in the Fabaceae family. Gliricidia sepium is a multipurpose tree native to Mesoamerica and possibly northern South America. The chemical composition of the hydrodistilled ...
Occurrence and characterisation of calcium oxalate crystals in stems and fruits of Hylocereus costaricensis and Selenicereus megalanthus (Cactaceae: Hylocereeae)
(2016-10)
Detailed description about occurrence of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals in the edible vine cactus species Hylocereus costaricensis and Selenicereus megalanthus is scarce. Therefore, we evaluated and characterized the ...
Effect of strength training on body composition, strength and aerobic capacity of Brazilians adolescents’ handball players related with peak growth rate.
(2016)
Objective: During adolescence are expected significant increases in growth rate, strength and body proportions. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in strength, body composition and aerobic capacity after a ...
Strategies in 'snake venomics' aiming at an integrative view of compositional, functional, and immunological characteristics of venoms
(2017-04)
This work offers a general overview on the evolving strategies for the proteomic analysis of snake venoms, and
discusses how these may be combined through diverse experimental approaches with the goal of achieving a

Composition and Gene Expression of the cag Pathogenicity Island in Helicobacter pylori Strains Isolated from Gastric Carcinoma and Gastritis Patients in Costa Rica
(Infection Immunity 69 (3) 1902-1908, 2001-03)
The composition and in vitro expression of the cag pathogenicity island genes in a group of Helicobacter pylori strains obtained from patients suffering from chronic gastritis-associated dyspepsia (n = 26) or gastric ...
Integrated “omics” profiling indicates that miRNAs are modulators of the ontogenetic venom composition shift in the Central American rattlesnake, Crotalus simus simus
(2013)
Background
Understanding the processes that drive the evolution of snake venom is a topic of great research interest in molecular and evolutionary toxinology. Recent studies suggest that ontogenetic changes in venom ...
Venoms of Micrurus coral snakes: evolutionary trends in compositional patterns emerging from proteomic analyses
(2016-11)
The application of proteomic tools to the study of snake venoms has led to an impressive growth in the
knowledge about their composition (venomics), immunogenicity (antivenomics), and toxicity (toxicovenomics).

Design of an optimized biomixture for the degradation of carbofuran based on pesticide removal and toxicity reduction of the matrix
(2015-12)
Pesticide biopurification systems contain a biologically active matrix (biomixture) responsible for the accelerated elimination of pesticides in wastewaters derived from pest control in crop fields. Biomixtures have been ...
Pasteurization of blackberry juice preserves polyphenol-dependent inhibition for lipid peroxidation and intracellular radicals
(2015-09)
Berries are commonly consumed as juice, and juice-processing conditions could affect their bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the effect of thermal treatments on the antioxidant capacity of blackberry juice polyphenols. ...
