A homeostatic-driven turnover remodelling constitutive model for healing in soft tissues
(The Royal Society, 2016-03)
Remodelling of soft biological tissue is characterized by interacting biochemical and biomechanical events, which change the tissue's microstructure, and, consequently, its macroscopic mechanical properties. Remodelling ...
Tobacco Smoke Induces Ventricular Remodeling Associated with an Increase in NADPH Oxidase Activity
(Karger, 2011-01-01)
Background: Recent studies have assessed the direct effects of smoking on cardiac remodeling and function. However, the mechanisms of these alterations remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate de role of ...
Ventricular Remodeling Induced by Tissue Vitamin A Deficiency in Rats
(Karger, 2010-01-01)
Background/Aims: Experimental studies suggest that vitamin A plays a role in regulating cardiac structure and function. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac vitamin A deficiency is associated with adverse myocardial ...

Cell-envelope remodeling as a determinant of phenotypic antibacterial tolerance in mycobacterium tuberculosis
(2016-05-13)
The mechanisms that lead to phenotypic antibacterial tolerance in bacteria remain poorly understood. We investigate whether changes in NaCl concentration toward physiologically higher values affect antibacterial efficacy ...
Physical training attenuates cardiac remodeling in rats with supra-aortic stenosis
(2014-01-01)
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that physical training (PT) attenuates cardiac remodeling and the severity of heart failure in rats with aortic stenosis. Wistar male rats were divided in sham (S, n=10), ...
Effects of Growth Hormone on Cardiac Remodeling During Resistance Training in Rats
(Arquivos Brasileiros Cardiologia, 2016-01-01)
Background: Although the beneficial effects of resistance training (RT) on the cardiovascular system are well established, few studies have investigated the effects of the chronic growth hormone (GH) administration on ...
