Avaliação do efeito da proteína Pentraxina 3 em células tumorais murinas
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2014-04-14)
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an inflammatory protein that plays important role in innate immunity, matrix deposition and female fertility. Moreover, it is a natural antagonist of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) that inhibit the ...
Anticorpos IgG direcionados a proteínas de membrana de hemácias e sua associação à anemia em infecções por Plasmodium vivax
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2015-04-13)
The destruction of uninfected erythrocytes is one of the leading causes of anemia in P. vivax infections. It has been estimated that about thirty-two non-parasitized red blood cells (RBCs) are destroyed for each parasitized ...
Caracterização de mecanismos citotóxicos induzidos pelo veneno de Bothrops atrox e de sua toxina purificada L-aminoácido oxidase
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BIOQUÍMICA E IMUNOLOGIAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Bioquímica e ImunologiaUFMG, 2017-02-09)
Bothrops spp. are responsible for 90% of snakebites in Brazil. Bothropic venom is a complex mixture of molecules enriched with peptides and proteins. An important component of this venom are L-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs), ...
Análise Morfológica e Funcional da Integrina Beta 2 (CD18)durante o desenvolvimento cardíaco
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2009-10-02)
Adhesion receptors play a key role in a variety of functions during embryonic development and after birth. Among such functions are processes involving morphogenesis, cellular adhesion, migration and differentiation. Among ...
Caracterização de parâmetros biomecânicos de hemácias via microscopia de desfocalização: imagem tridimensional total e elasticidade da membrana
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2014-08-29)
The general aim of this thesis was the development of new experimental and computational methods in light microscopy, in particular, using Defocusing Microscopy (DM) technique in the study of contrast of phase objects ...
Direct effects of colchicine on myocardial function - Studies in hypertrophied and failing spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999-01-01)
The aging spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is a model in which the transition from chronic stable left ventricular hypertrophy to overt heart failure can be observed. Although the mechanisms for impaired function in ...
Astrócitos imunorreativos à proteína glial fibrilar ácida (GFAP) em sistema nervoso central de equinos normais e de equinos com leucoencefalomalácia
(Colégio Brasileiro de Patologia Animal - CBPA, 1999-07-01)
A proteína glial fibrilar ácida (GFAP), subunidade dos filamentos intermediários do citoesqueleto celular, está presente no citoplasma de astrócitos. Técnicas imunohistoquímicas com anticorpos primários anti-GFAP são ...
Physiology and endocrinology symposium: Influence of cattle genotype (Bos indicus vs. Bos taurus) on oocyte and preimplantation embryo resistance to increased temperature
(2013-03-01)
High environmental temperatures during the hot months of the year reduce reproductive performance in cattle. Summer heat stress depression in fertility is a multifactorial problem; however, there is evidence that the bovine ...
Inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity induces stromal remodeling and smooth muscle de-differentiation in adult gerbil ventral prostate
(Blackwell Verlag Gmbh, 2004-06-01)
Prostatic differentiation during embryogenesis and its further homeostatic state maintenance during adult life depend on androgens. Dihydrotestosterone, which is synthesized from testosterone by 5alpha-reductase (5alpha-r), ...
Astrocyte intermediate filaments are important markers in olfactory bulb of bovine herpesvirus type 5 natural infections
(2010-05-01)
Astroglial cells are the most abundant cells in the mammalian central nervous system, yet our knowledge about their function in bovine Herpesvirus type 5 (BoHV-5) has been limited. The aim of this study was to detect by ...
