Sex chromosome complement involvement in angiotensin receptor sexual dimorphism
(Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
This study aimed to define whether sex chromosome complement (SCC) may differentially modulate sex differences in relative gene expression of basal Agtr1a, Agtr2, and Mas1 receptors at fore/hindbrain nuclei and at ...
CTGF/CCN-2 over-expression can directly induce features of skeletal muscle dystrophy
(2011)
Muscular dystrophies are diseases characterized by muscle weakness together with cycles of degeneration and regeneration of muscle fibres, resulting in a progressive decrease of muscle mass, diminished muscle force generation ...
A participação e representação política das mulheres nas comissões executivas do PP e PT no município de Santa Maria/RS
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilSociologiaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências SociaisCentro de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, 2019-07-12)
The female presence in various sectors of our society has been marked by its gradual insertion in leadership positions. However, their exclusion in the spheres of power over political decisions and, more specifically, the ...
Absence-like seizures in adult rats following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus early in life
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2003-12-01)
Administration of pilocarpine causes epilepsy in rats if status epilepticus (SE) is induced at an early age. To determine in detail the electrophysiological patterns of the epileptogenic activity in these animals, 46 Wistar ...
Peripheral chemoreceptor inputs to retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) CO2-sensitive neurons in rats
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-04-15)
The rat retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) contains pH-sensitive neurons that are putative central chemoreceptors. Here, we examined whether these neurons respond to peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation and whether the input is ...
O efeito neuroprotetor do exercício físico em ratos submetidos ao modelo animal de fibromialgia induzido por reserpina
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilFarmacologiaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em FarmacologiaCentro de Ciências da Saúde, 2018-03-16)
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a musculoskeletal syndrome characterized by generalized chronic primary pain. In this pathology, dysfunction occurs in the pain inhibitory system, reducing monoamines, such as serotonin (5-HT), which ...
Catechol cytotoxicity in vitro: Induction of glioblastoma cell death by apoptosis
(2010)
The exposure to benzene is a public health problem. Although the most well-known effect of benzene is hematopoietic toxicity, there is little information about the benzene and its metabolites effects on the central nervous ...
Functional implications of limited leptin receptor and ghrelin receptor coexpression in the brain
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2012-02)
The hormones leptin and ghrelin act in apposition to one another in the regulation of body weight homeostasis. Interestingly, both leptin receptor expression and ghrelin receptor expression have been observed within many ...
A model for the electromagnetic spectrum of the inner jets of Centaurus A
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Centaurus A, the closest active galaxy, has been detected from radio to high-energy gamma-rays. The synchrotron radiation by extremely high energy protons may be a suitable mechanism to explain the MeV to GeV emission ...
Widespread loss of the silencing epigenetic mark H3K9me3 in astrocytes and neurons along with hippocampal-dependent cognitive impairment in C9orf72 BAC transgenic mice
(2020)
Background: Hexanucleotide repeat expansions of the G4C2 motif in a non-coding region of the C9ORF72 gene are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Tissues ...
