Simvastatin therapy in cyclosporine A-induced alveolar bone loss in rats
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Background and Objective: Cyclosporine A treatment is important in the therapy of a number of medical conditions; however, alveolar bone loss is an important negative side-effect of this drug. As such, we evaluated whether ...
Modulation of inflammatory response by selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 in acute kidney injury
(BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG, 2010)
This work explored the role of inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COXs) in modulating the inflammatory response triggered by acute kidney injury. C57Bl/6 mice were used. Animals were treated or not with indomethacin (IMT) prior ...
Ethanol-induced vasoconstriction is mediated via redox-sensitive cyclo-oxygenase-dependent mechanisms
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2010)
The present study investigated the role of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and COX (cyclooxygenase) in ethanol-induced contraction and elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) (intracellular [Ca(2+)]). Vascular reactivity experiments, using ...
Estrous expression during a fixed-time artificial insemination protocol enhances development and interferon-tau messenger RNA expression in conceptuses from Bos indicus beef cows
(2019-01-01)
Expression of estrus (EST) near the time of fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) increases pregnancy success in beef females. This outcome has been associated with improved pregnancy establishment and maintenance, ...
Fibroblast growth factor 17 and bone morphogenetic protein 15 enhance cumulus expansion and improve quality of in vitro-produced embryos in cattle
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-08-01)
Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family are expressed by the oocyte and are involved in the control of cumulus cell function. We tested the hypothesis that FGF17, alone ...
Post-artificial insemination supplementation with calcium salts of soybean oil influences pregnancy establishment factors in Bos indicus beef cows
(Amer Soc Animal Science, 2016-11-01)
The objective of this experiment was to compare hormonal, uterine, and conceptus factors associated with pregnancy establishment in Bos indicus beef cows supplemented or not with Ca salts of soybean oil (CSSO) for 21 d ...
Post–artificial insemination supplementation with calcium salts of soybean oil influences pregnancy establishment factors in Bos indicus beef cows
(2016-11-01)
The objective of this experiment was to compare hormonal, uterine, and conceptus factors associated with pregnancy establishment in Bos indicus beef cows supplemented or not with Ca salts of soybean oil (CSSO) for 21 d ...
Scavenger receptor-B1 and luteal function in mice
(New York, 2010)
During luteinization, circulating high-density lipoproteins supply cholesterol to ovarian cells via the scavenger receptor-B1 (SCARB1). In the mouse, SCARB1 is expressed in cytoplasm and periphery of theca, granulosa, and ...
Osteoblast response to porous titanium and biomimetic surface: In vitro analysis
(Elsevier B. V., 2015)
This study analyzed the behavior of human osteoblasts cultured on porous titanium specimens, with and without biomimetic treatment, compared to dense titanium. The experiment had seven groups: Group 1: cells cultured on ...
Porous titanium and Ti-35Nb alloy: effects on gene expression of osteoblastic cells derived from human alveolar bone
(Springer, 2015-11-01)
Tests on titanium alloys that possess low elastic modulus, corrosion resistance and minimal potential toxicity are ongoing. This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of human osteoblastic cells cultured on dense and porous ...
