Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is a xenobiotic used as a biocide in antifouling paints that has been demonstrated to induce endocrine-disrupting effects, such as obesity and reproductive abnormalities. An integrative metabolic control in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis was exerted by leptin. However, studies that have investigated the obesogenic TBT effects on the HPG axis are especially rare. We investigated whether metabolic disorders as a result of TBT are correlated with abnormal hypothalamus- ...

O controle da varíola do mamoeiro é necessário; portanto, propôs-se, neste estudo, avaliar o efeito de aplicações foliares de fosfitos (K, Ca, Mg e Cu) sobre a doença. Dois fosfitos e o fungicida Fosetyl-Al foram testados em condições de campo, com plantas naturalmente infectadas pelo patógeno. Dez fosfitos e o fungicida Fosetyl-Al foram testados sob telado também com plantas naturalmente infectadas por A. caricae. Tanto no experimento de campo quanto sob telado, os tratamentos contendo fosfito reduziram ...

Fipronil is a pesticide widely used to control agricultural and household insect pests. However, fipronil is highly toxic to non-target insects, including pollinators. In this study, we investigated the acute effects of fipronil on the behavior, brain morphology, antioxidant activity, and proteins related to signaling pathways on the brain of workers of the stingless bee Partamona helleri. The ingestion of fipronil increases both the walking distance and velocity and causes enlarged intercellular ...

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants or better a disruption of redox signaling and control. It is generally accepted that oxidative stress can lead to cell and tissue injury having a fundamental role in vascular dysfunction. Physiologically, reactive oxygen species (ROS) control vascular function by modulating various redox-sensitive signaling pathways. In vascular disorders, oxidative stress instigates endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, affecting several cells ...

Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an obesogen associated with various metabolic and reproductive dysfunctions after in utero exposure. However, few studies have evaluated TBT's obesogenic effect on adult ovaries. In this study, we assessed whether TBT's obesogenic effects resulted in adult ovarian adipogenesis and other reproductive abnormalities. TBT was administered to adult female Wistar rats, and their reproductive tract morphophysiology was assessed. We further assessed the ovarian mRNA/protein ...

The materials obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), visible ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG). The microscopy showed that there are differences in morphology between the two synthesis and also the formation of pores obtained by the synthesis of the Pechini method. When using diffuse reflectance, ...

AbstractTestosterone (T) is a sexual hormone capable of modulating several traits in birds, including aggressiveness and reproductive behavior. Although variation in T-related traits is well-known for temperate zone birds, this variation has not been extensively studied in tropical species. The campo miner (Geositta poeciloptera) is a threatened bird endemic to the grasslands of the South American Cerrado. We investigated the seasonal variation in plasma T levels and associated behavior in the campo ...

We study the heat transport due to phonons in nanomechanical structures using a phase space representation of non-equilibrium Green's functions. This representation accounts for the atomic degrees of freedom making it particularly suited for the description of small (molecular) junctions systems. We show that for the steady state limit our formalism correctly recovers the heuristic Landauer-like heat conductance for a quantum coherent molecular system coupled to thermal reservoirs. We find general ...

Two of the most common post harvest papaya (Carica papaya) pathogens are Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (anthracnose) and Phoma caricae papayae (stem rot). Two isolates of C. gloeosporioides (Cg 32 and Cg 78) and one of P. caricae papayae (P 725) were inoculated on fruits of both 'Solo' and 'Formosa' groups in two different types of trials: (1) Fruits submerged in water at 48°C for 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min; (2) Fruits submerged in water at 44, 46, 48 or 50°C for 20 min. Afterwards, the fruits were cooled ...

Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an environmental contaminant that is used as a biocide in antifouling paints. TBT has been shown to induce endocrine-disrupting effects. However, studies evaluating the effects of TBT on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are especially rare. The current study demonstrates that exposure to TBT is critically responsible for the improper function of the mammalian HPA axis as well as the development of abnormal morphophysiology in the pituitary and adrenal glands. ...

This paper describes a robust multivariate model for quantifying and characterizing blends of Robusta and Arabica coffees. At different degrees of roasting, 120 ground coffee blends (0.0–33.0%) were formulated. Spectra were obtained by two different techniques, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS). Partial least squares (PLS) models were built individually with the two types of spectra. Nevertheless, better predictions ...
