Background The male reproductive system of insects can have several tissues responsible for the secretion of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs), such as testes, accessory glands, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct and ejaculatory bulb. The SFPs are transferred during mating and can induce several physiological and behavioral changes in females, such as increase in oviposition and decrease in sexual receptivity after copulation. The phlebotomine Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis. ...

Attalea phalerata Mart. ex Spreng. (Arecaceae), popularly known as "bacuri", is used in Brazilian folk medicine. Its oil is used orally to relieve pulmonary congestion and joint pain. In topical applications, it is applied as an effective hair tonic and anti-dandruff. The in natura pulp and its nuts are used as food because of its nutritional value. Despite its use in folk medicine, there is a lack of data regarding its in vivo/in vitro cytotoxic/genotoxic and clastogenic effects. Therefore, in this ...

We present a synthesis of anuran diversity and distribution in the Mantiqueira Mountain Range, one of the largest mountain ranges occurring within the Atlantic Forest biome of Brazil. We assembled a species list based on the examination of 16,893 specimens housed in 10 herpetological collections and data compiled from the literature. We developed minimum convex polygons for each species to determine their degree of association with the mountain range, and assessed distribution patterns considering ...

Abstract Previous published works described suspension polymerization processes for the production of spherical core‐shell poly(vinyl acetate)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAc/PVA) particles with regular morphology for use as embolic agents in vascular embolization procedures. Although the clinical performance of the produced particles was regarded as excellent, the produced PVAc/PVA particles were prone to agglomeration during storage. For this reason, methyl methacrylate is now used as comonomer in order ...

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is adapted to nutrient-poor environments, in which it uses extracellular cellulases to obtain glucose from the available cellulose biomass. We have isolated and characterized Trhxt1, a putative glucose transporter gene, as judged by the glucose accumulation phenotype of a ΔTrhxt1 mutant. This gene is repressed at high glucose concentrations and expressed at micromolar levels and in the absence of glucose. The gene is also induced during the growth of T. ...

Long-term exposure to high levels of these particulates has been linked to a diverse range of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases that have resulted in hospital admission. The evaluation of the effects of PM exposure on the mechanisms related to cell death has been a challenge for many researchers. Therefore, in this review, we have discussed the effects of airborne PM exposure on mechanisms related ...
