The objective of this study was to evaluate the pasture traits and performance of crossbreed dairy heifers in a silvopastoral system (SPS) and open pasture (OP) of Urochloa decumbens, after 14-years of management. In the SPS, an average reduction of 46% in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was calculated in relation to the OP. Experimental design was a randomized complete block, with three replications and two treatments (SPS and OP), evaluated in two seasons (summer and autumn), during three ...

Chromium is an essential mineral that contributes to normal glucose function and lipid metabolism. This study evaluated the effect of chromium picolinate (CrPic) supplementation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A four month controlled, single blind, randomized trial was performed with 71 patients with poorly controlled (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] > 7%) T2DM divided into 2 groups: Control (n = 39, using placebo), and supplemented (n = 32, using 600 μg/day CrPic). All patients received nutritional ...

The present study aimed to determine whether the leaves of Turnera ulmifolia Linn. var. elegans extract exert significant antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of its hydroethanolic extract (HEETU) was evaluated by assessing (a) its radical scavenging ability in vitro, and (b) its in vivo effect on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities. The in vitro antioxidant assay (DPPH) clearly supported HEETU free radical scavenging potential. Moreover, glutathione content and antioxidant ...

This paper reports on the use of fibrin glue alone without grafting or the use of implants in the reconstruction of the sellar floor after TS. Five hundred sixty-seven patients who submitted to TS for pituitary and sellar region tumors were studied.

Historically, the ichthyofauna of large Brazilian rivers has been subject to anthropogenic interference, such as impoundments. Currently, cage fish farming systems are a new source of impact on aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study was to characterise the impact of freshwater fish farms on the feeding of five species of Neotropical freshwater fish.

SCN1A is the most relevant gene in epilepsy. Only seven SCN1A mutations have been identified in 10 familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) kindreds worldwide.In 2009, we presented a kindred with FHM due to the L263V SCN1A mutation. In the current study, we report a novel FHM3 kindred from the same village. The first family exhibited the co-occurrence of FHM and epilepsy. No case of epilepsy was observed in the new kindred. An L263V mutation was found in all patients, and the haplotype analysis supports ...

Cardiovascular and thromboembolic disturbances are the main causes of disease-related deaths worldwide. Regardless of the etiological factors involved in thrombus formation, coagulation is mainly activated by thrombin, one of the most important blood clotting molecules. Thus, this study evaluated the Turnera subulata leaf crude extract, its ethyl acetate fraction effect on the coagulation cascade, and its possible side effects.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and estrogen deficiency are associated with several alterations in bone turnover. Zinc (Zn) is required for growth, development, and overall health. Zinc has been used in complementary therapy against bone loss in several diseases. We hypothesized that Zn supplementation represents a potential therapy against severe bone loss induced by the combined effect of estrogen deficiency and T1DM. We evaluated the protective effect of Zn against bone alterations in a chronic ...

Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is directly involved in the physiology of insulin, and zinc metabolism could play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its complications. On the other hand, low zinc absorption and hyperzincuria in diabetic animals and humans have indicated that diabetics are more susceptible to zinc deficiency. This study was designed to compare zinc metabolism in ten insulin-dependent diabetic patients with ten healthy controls, using an oral zinc tolerance ...

Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL) is an immune reaction in leprosy that aggravates the patient´s clinical condition. ENL presents systemic symptoms of an acute infectious syndrome with high leukocytosis and intense malaise clinically similar to sepsis. The treatment of ENL patients requires immunosuppression and thus needs to be early and efficient to prevent both disabilities and permanent nerve damage. Some patients experience multiple episodes of ENL and prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs ...

Abstract β‐Butadienyl‐ and β,β′‐dibutadienylporphyrins were prepared by the Wittig reaction of β‐formyl‐ and β,β′‐diformyl‐ meso ‐tetraphenylporphyrins with allylic phosphorus ylide. Subsequent treatment of β‐butadienylporphyrin with dienophiles afforded the corresponding Diels–Alder adducts. In the absence of dienophiles, β‐butadienylporphyrin underwent electrocyclization, followed by oxidation, to give monobenzoporphyrin in good yield. Similarly, adjacent and opposite dibenzoporphyrins were successfully ...
