Structural analysis of toad oviductal mucosa in relation to jelly components secretion throughout the reproductive cycle
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-11)
Summary In amphibians, the components of the jelly coats that surround the oocytes at the time of fertilization and coordinate gamete interaction are secreted by the oviduct. We analysed the histological variations ...
The small secreted effector protein MiSSP7.6 of Laccaria bicolor is required for the establishment of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
To establish and maintain a symbiotic relationship, the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor releases mycorrhiza-induced small secreted proteins (MiSSPs) into host roots. Here, we have functionally characterized the ...
Biochemical characterization and cytotoxic effect of the skin secretion from the red-spotted Argentina frog Argenteohyla siemersi (Anura: Hylidae)
(Cevap-unesp, 2020-03)
Background: Argenteohyla siemersi (red-spotted Argentina frog) is a casque-headed tree frog species belonging to the Hylidae family. This species has a complex combination of anti-predator defense mechanisms that include ...
Sugary secretions of wasp galls: a want-to-be extrafloral nectar?
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06)
Background and Aims: The most widespread form of protective mutualisms is represented by plants bearing extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) that attract ants and other arthropods for indirect defence. Another, but less common, ...
Biliary secretion and hepatic oxidative stress in animals fed with linoleic acid conjugates (CLA)
(Sociedad Argentina de Nutrición, 2008-12)
The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of CLA at two levels (7 and 20%) of dietary fat on biliary secretion and oxidative stress in liver of rats. Animals were divided in four groups and fed with diets, ...
SPARC is required for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion in mice
(Portland Press, 2019-01)
Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, three strongly interrelated diseases, are associated to increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathogenesis of obesity-associated disorders is still under study. ...
Acinetobacter defence mechanims against biological aggressors and their use as alternative therapeutic applications
(Informa Healthcare, 2021-08)
Several Acinetobacter strains are important nosocomial pathogens, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the species of greatest worldwide concern due to its multi-drug resistance and the recent appearance of hyper-virulent ...
Structural features affecting trafficking, processing, and secretion of Trypanosoma cruzi mucins
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012-07)
Trypanosoma cruzi is wrapped by a dense coat of mucin-type molecules encoded by complex gene families termedTcSMUG and TcMUC, which are expressed in the insect- and mammal-dwelling forms of the parasite, respectively. Here, ...
Extracellular Sunflower Proteins: Evidence on Non-classical Secretion of a Jacalin-Related Lectin
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2012-03)
Extracellular proteins from sunflower seedlings were analyzed by electrophoresis followed by peptide mass fingerprinting. Tentative identification revealed novel proteins for this crop. A significant number of those proteins ...
MALDI-MS argininyl bufadienolide esters fingerprint from parotoid gland secretions of Rhinella arenarum : age, gender and seasonal variation
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-06)
In many amphibians, the granular glands can be grouped in special regions forming macroglands. This is the case of toads, characterized by the presence of a pair of parotoid macroglands, strategically located to give ...
