We studied the kinetics of calcium release induced by SH oxidation in triads isolated from frog and rabbit skeletal muscle by measuring calcium fluxes by a fast filtration method. In both species SH oxidation induced release ...

Understanding the factors that can modify the drug release profile of a drug from a Drug-Delivery-System (DDS) is a mandatory step to determine the effectiveness of new therapies. The aim of this study was to assess the ...

Banana-crop represents an essential segment in Brazil’s socio-economic structure. However, the residues of banana-crop discarded cause problems of contamination in the crop and environment. Waste reuse technologies for the ...

In this study, amphiphilic polymers were investigated as biomaterials that can control dexamethasone (DXM) release. Such materials present interfacial properties in the presence of water and an oily phase that can result ...

In skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, specific isoforms of the Ryanodine receptor channels mediate Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These channels are highly susceptible to redox modifications, which regulate ...

Considering the antimicrobial effect of oregano essential oil, this work aimed to investigate the influence of its encapsulation in alginate beads, subjected or not to electrostatic interaction with whey proteins, wet or ...
