Evidence for a correlation between total lead concentrations in soils and the presence of geological faults
(2017-09-01)
The emission of radon gas in regions of geological faults, during the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium, results in the formation of lead isotopes 210Pb, 208Pb, 207Pb and 206Pb. As a consequence, the lead contamination ...
MALDI imaging mass spectrometry of fresh water cyanobacteria: Spatial distribution of toxins and other metabolites
(2017-04-01)
Cyanobacteria are among the most ancient forms of life, yet they are known to synthesize highly sophisticated defense molecules, such as the highly hepatotoxic cyclic peptides microcystins and nodularins produced by the ...
Enzyme replacement therapy for Anderson-Fabry disease: A complementary overview of a Cochrane publication through a linear regression and a pooled analysis of proportions from cohort studies
(2017-03-01)
Background Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked recessive inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. Renal failure, heart and cerebrovascular involvement reduce ...
Circulating Concentrations of Adipocytokines and Their Receptors in the Isolated Corpus Cavernosum and Femoral Artery from Trained Rats on a High-Fat Diet
(2017-04-01)
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate different signaling pathways by which exercise training would interfere in endothelial function in obesity. Therefore, we examined adipocytokine levels and their ...
Distribution of Divo in Coffea genomes, a poorly described family of angiosperm LTR-Retrotransposons
(2017-08-01)
Coffea arabica (the Arabica coffee) is an allotetraploid species originating from a recent hybridization between two diploid species: C. canephora and C. eugenioides. Transposable elements can drive structural and functional ...
Evaluation of intranasal oxygen supplementation in mules anesthetized with the combination of ketamine, butorphanol, and guaifenesin
(2017-01-01)
Hypoxemia is a major complication of field anesthesia and no studies regarding this occurrence in mules has been done. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate intranasal oxygen supplementation (IOS) in mules (Equus ...
Physical characteristics and fertility of fractionated donkey semen cooled at 5°C
(2017-01-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different extenders (Skimmed Milk Glucose-SMG or Lactose-Egg Yolk-LEY) on physical characteristics and fertility of fractionated donkey semen cooled at 5°C. For this, ...
Glicerina bruta associada à ureia na terminação de bovinos: Consumo, desempenho e características da carne
(2017-01-01)
The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of glycerol with urea, on the consumption and nutritional performance of Nelore cattle. The work was conducted within the confines of the digestibility sector, belonging ...
Characterization and application of cellulose acetate synthesized from sugarcane bagasse
(2017-07-01)
The synthesis and application of cellulose acetate (CA) from sugarcane bagasse were investigated. Firstly, cellulose was extracted by a sequential treatment with H2SO4 (10% v/v), NaOH (5% w/v), EDTA (0.5% w/V), and H2O2 ...
Cold shock protein a from Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: Role of electrostatic forces in the stability of the secondary structure
(2017-04-01)
The conformational stability of the Cold shock protein A (CspA) from C. pseudotuberculosis (Cp), a nucleic acid binding protein in function of pH and salt concentration was examined by using differential scanning calorimetry ...
