Acute effects of power and resistance exercises on hemodynamic measurements of older women
(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2017)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of resistance training (RT) and power training (PT) on the hemodynamic parameters and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability of older women. Materials and ...

Antibodies Against Glycolipids Enhance Antifungal Activity of Macrophages and Reduce Fungal Burden After Infection with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2016)Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease endemic in Latin America. Polyclonal antibodies to acidic glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis opsonized yeast forms in vitro increasing phagocytosis and ...

Avaliação do tratamento precoce ou tardio com n-acetilcisteína sobre o controle do estresse oxidativo na nefropatia diabética experimental
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-06-30)INTRODUCTION : Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces intra and extracellular changes, with substantial increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS causes damage to the systemic and renal microvasculature, which could be one ...

BE-I-PLA2, a novel acidic phospholipase A(2) from Bothrops erythromelas venom: Isolation, cloning and characterization as potent anti-platelet and inductor of prostaglandin I-2 release by endothelial cells
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-07-28)A novel acidic Asp49 phospholipase A(2) was isolated from Bothrops erythromelas (jararaca malha-de-cascavel) snake venom by four chromatographic steps. BE-I-PLA2 present a molecular weight of 13,649.57 Da as estimated by ...

Bladder Dysfunction in a New Mutant Mouse Model With Increased Superoxide-Lack of Nitric Oxide?
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-02-01)Purpose: Nitric oxide mediates urethral smooth muscle relaxation and may also be involved in detrusor activity control. Mice with mutation in the Immp2l gene have high superoxide ion levels and a consequent decrease in the ...

Brain nitric oxide production by a proline-rich decapeptide from Bothrops jararaca venom improves baroreflex sensitivity of spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010-12-01)Baroreflex sensitivity is disturbed in many people with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Brain deficiency of nitric oxide (NO), which is synthesized by NO synthase (NOS) in the citrulline-NO cycle (with ...

CD4 Th1 but not Th2 clones efficiently activate macrophages to eliminate Trypanosoma cruzi through a nitric oxide dependent mechanism
(Elsevier B.V., 2000-07-03)We have recently generated CD4 clones from BALB/c mice immunized with a plasmid DNA containing the gene encoding for the catalytic domain of trans-sialidase, an important enzyme expressed on the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi ...

Central blockade of nitric oxide synthesis reduces moxonidine-induced hypotension
(Nature Publishing Group, 2004-06-01)1 Nitric oxide (NO) and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor and imidazoline agonists such as moxonidine may act centrally to inhibit sympathetic activity and decrease arterial pressure.2 in the present study, we investigated the effects ...

Cyclosporine A and NAC on the inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide synthesis in rat renal artery cultured cells
(Blackwell Publishing, 2005-12-01)Background. the immunosuppressor cyclosporine A (CsA) presents the nephrotoxicity as its major side effect that is mostly attributed to a renal vasoconstriction. This may be due to an excessive generation of vasoconstrictors ...
