Intrauterine dietary restriction may cause changes in the functioning of offspring organs and systems later in life, an effect known as fetal programming. The present study evaluated mRNA abundance and immunolocalization of nutrient transporters as well as enterocytes proliferation in the proximal, median and distal segments of small intestine of rats born to protein-restricted dams. Pregnant rats were fed hypoproteic (6% protein) or control (17% protein) diets, and offspring rats were evaluated at ...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and inadequate insulin production. Remission criteria in T1DM take into account serum levels of C-peptide and glycosylated hemoglobin, as well as the dose of insulin administered to the patient. However, remission of T1DM lasting longer than 1 year is rare. We describe here the cases of two young women who presented with positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody and classic ...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of pancreatic beta cells through cell injury caused primarily by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8+). The pathophysiological basis of T1DM seems to be an imbalance between a reduced function of T regulatory lymphocytes and an increased inflammatory activity of Th17 lymphocytes caused by increased production of inflammatory cytokines, as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17 and IFN-gamma due to environmental factors and genetic predisposition. ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) represent the most common types of autoimmune diabetes and are characterized by different age of onset, degrees of immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells and rates of disease progression towards insulin dependence. Several immunotherapies aimed to counteract autoimmune responses against beta cells and preserve beta-cell function are currently being investigated, particularly in T1D. Preliminary findings suggest a potential ...

Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) contributes to the development of chronic interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy in renal allograft patients. Cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 and 2 actively participate in acute ischemic injury by activating endothelial cells and inducing oxidative stress. Furthermore, blockade of COX 1 and 2 has been associated with organ improvement after ischemic damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of COX 1 and 2 in the development of fibrosis by performing a COX 1 ...

In this work electrocatalysts based on Pd and Sn nanoparticles supported on Vulcan XC-72 carbon black with a reduced amount of Pd were prepared. We evaluated its electrocatalytic activity for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells (ADEFCs). The electrocatalysts were synthesized in different Pd:Sn mass ratios (1:3, 1:1, 3:1 and 1:0) on the carbon containing 20 wt % of metal. The XRD patterns of the electrocatalysts revealed an alloy formation between Pd and Sn, and the ...

Fuel cells are important energy conversion devices. However, challenges in this regard are still noted, such as low electrocatalyst efficiencies in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which occurs slowly in electrocatalyst cathodes. In this sense, this study aimed to synthetize hybrid binary and ternary electrocatalysts formed by palladium and platinum alloy nanoparticles and ceria nanorods (CeO2 NR) supported on carbon black Vulcan XC-72 (PdxPty/Vn and (Pd3Pt1)x(CeO2 NR)y(Vn)z) for the study of the ...

Accurately detecting the insect damage caused in plants might reduce losses in crop yields. Hyperspectral data is a well-accepted data source to attend this issue. However, due to their high dimensional, both robust and intelligent methods are required to extract information from these datasets. Therefore, we explore the processing of hyperspectral data with artificial intelligence methods joined with clustering techniques to detect insect herbivory damage in maize plants. We measured the leaf spectral ...

Abstract The urethra is the main place of entry for sexually transmitted pathogens. However, there is little literature on the morphology of the urogenital system, principally the urethra and ducts of the sex accessory glands. The Mongolian gerbil is an insectivorous, herbivorous and monogamous rodent with nocturnal habits; it has been used successfully as a laboratory animal since the 1960s. Therefore, the objective of the present paper was to describe the structure and ultrastructure of the urethra ...

Chronic exposure to ethanol may results in pathophysiologic changes in cellular function. The present work was designed to investigate the morphology of testis submitted to experimental ethanol ingestion. Experimental animals were divided into two groups. The control group (n = 23) received a solid diet and tap water and the alcoholic group (n = 23) received the same solid diet and ethanol P.A. diluted 20% in water (v/v). After 120 days of treatment, all animals were anesthetized, weighed and sacrificed. ...
