Detection of AA-type amyloid protein in labial salivary glands
(Medicina Oral, 2011)
Objectives: Among the diverse forms of amyloidosis, secondary type is the most frequent one. Diagnosis of amyloid deposition is based on the identification of the fibrillary protein amyloid by means of Congo Red (CR) or ...
Apoptosis and cell proliferation: the paradox of salivary glands in sjögren’s disease
(Sociedade Portuguesa de Reumatologia Vo. 33, pp. 299- 303, 2008)
Aim: To assess apoptosis and proliferation in salivary glands of patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome.
Methods: Studies were performed in twenty four minor salivary glands from patients with primary
Sjögren’s syndrome ...
TONGUE FUNCTION, SALIVARY FLOW RATE AND IgA, IgM AND IgG TOTAL SALIVARY LEVELS IN CHRONIC CHAGASIC PATIENTS
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2019)
Defective signalling in salivary glands precedes the autoimmune response in the non-obese diabetic mouse model of sialadenitis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2005-12)
The spontaneous non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome provides a valuable tool to study the onset and progression of both the autoimmune response and secretory dysfunction. Our purpose was to analyse ...
Basal ganglia and functions of the autonomic nervous system
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2002-12)
The aim of this mini-review was to describe an underrecognized but important aspect of the basal ganglia diseases, the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that patients suffer owing to the degenerative process ...
Lack of nitric oxide-mediated regulation of amylase secretion stimulated by VIP in parotid glands of NOD mice
(Elsevier Science, 2004-12)
The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is chosen among other experimental models to study autoimmune sialadenitis resembling Sjögren's syndrome (SS), because of its unique characteristic of developing salivary dysfunction. ...
An insight into the sialotranscriptome and virome of Amazonian anophelines
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Background: Saliva of mosquitoes contains anti-platelet, anti-clotting, vasodilatory, anti-complement and antiinflammatory
substances that help the blood feeding process. The salivary polypeptides are at a fast pace ...
An updated insight into the Sialotranscriptome of Triatoma infestans: developmental stage and geographic variations
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America. As in all hematophagous arthropods, its saliva contains a complex cocktail that assists blood feeding by preventing platelet aggregation ...
Posttranslational Protein Modification in the Salivary Glands of Sjögren’s Syndrome Patients
(Hindawi, 2013-03)
The present study investigated posttranslational reactions in the salivary glands of patients with Sjogren’s syndrome. We analysed the biopsies of primary Sjogren’s patients using immunohistochemistry and a tag-purified ...
