1. Biomechanical and biochemical investigation of erythrocytes in late stage human leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, which can cause lipid changes in the erythrocyte membrane. Optical tweezers were used to characterize rheological changes in erythrocytes from patients with leptospirosis in the late stage. Biochemical methods were also used for quantification of plasma lipid, erythrocyte membran

2. Postharvest conservation of ‘Avalanche’ cut roses with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-beeswax natural coating
RESUMO O uso de recobrimentos na pós-colheita de frutas e hortaliças é objeto de estudos há vários anos pela sua capacidade de prolongar a vida de prateleira de vegetais. No entanto, pouco se sabe acerca do uso destes recobrimentos na conservação pós-colheita de flores de corte. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentraç

3. Aluminum stress tolerance in potato genotypes grown with silicon
ABSTRACT Potato cultivation is widespread around the world, being exposed to several abiotic stresses, including soils with high aluminum (Al) availability. Silicon (Si) is recognized for alleviating the stress caused by Al in various plant species. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential of Si to mitigate the oxidative stress caused by

4. Jaburetox: update on a urease-derived peptide
Abstract Urease from Canavalia ensiformis seeds was the first enzyme ever to be crystallized, in 1926. These proteins, found in plants, bacteria and fungi, present different biological properties including catalytic hydrolysis of urea, and also enzyme-independent activities, such as induction of exocytosis, pro-inflammatory effects, neurotoxicity, antifungal

5. Water deficit modifies the carbon isotopic composition of lipids, soluble sugars and leaves of Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Fabaceae)
ABSTRACT Water deficit is most frequent in forest physiognomies subjected to climate change. As a consequence, several tree species alter tissue water potential, gas exchange and production of carbon compounds to overcome damage caused by water deficiency. The working hypothesis, that a reduction in gas exchange by plants experiencing water deficit will affe

6. Ultrastructural detection of lipids in the cephalic salivary glands of Apis mellifera and Scaptotrigona postica (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers
ABSTRACT Secretory cells of the cephalic salivary glands (CSGs) of eusocial bees produce and accumulate lipid-like secretion in the lumens of their alveoli. Correspondingly, secretory cells present typical ultrastructural features of lipid-compound producers. Previous work on bees has revealed inter-specific differences in the chemical composition of secreti

7. Mechanisms of growth inhibition of Phytomonas serpens by the alkaloids tomatine and tomatidine
Phytomonas serpens are flagellates in the family Trypanosomatidae that parasitise the tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.), which results in fruits with low commercial value. The tomato glycoalkaloid tomatine and its aglycone tomatidine inhibit the growth of P. serpens in axenic cultures. Tomatine, like many other saponins, induces permeabilisation of the

8. Interaction of lipophorin with Rhodnius prolixus oocytes: biochemical properties and the importance of blood feeding
Lipophorin (Lp) is the main haemolymphatic lipoprotein in insects and transports lipids between different organs. In adult females, lipophorin delivers lipids to growing oocytes. In this study, the interaction of this lipoprotein with the ovaries of Rhodnius prolixus was characterised using an oocyte membrane preparation and purified radiolabelled Lp (125I-L

9. Perimicrovillar membrane assembly: the fate of phospholipids synthesised by the midgut of Rhodnius prolixus
In this study, we describe the fate of fatty acids that are incorporated from the lumen by the posterior midgut epithelium of Rhodnius prolixus and the biosynthesis of lipids. We also demonstrate that neutral lipids (NL) are transferred to the haemolymphatic lipophorin (Lp) and that phospholipids remain in the tissue in which they are organised into perimicr

10. Efeito da carga dos lipídios na interação do BP100 em modelos de membrana / Charge effect of lipids in interaction of BP100 and model membranes
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been a promising alternative therapy to antibiotics. These molecules, consisting of less than 80 amino acids, with different structures and amino acids composition, have amphipathic character which gives them the ability to act on lipid bilayers. They act, by different mechanisms, over bacteria to mammal cells. The AMPs are

11. Efeito da acupuntura e da eletro acupuntura sobre a glicemia lactacemia e as concentraÃÃes de lactato no fÃgado e rim de ratos sadios / Effects of acupuncture and electroacupunture on oxidative stress in healthy rats
A acupuntura (Ac) Ã uma forma de terapia que busca a cura das enfermidades pela aplicaÃÃo de estÃmulos atravÃs da pele, com a inserÃÃo de agulhas em pontos especÃficos denominados acupontos. A eletroacupuntura (EAc) consiste na aplicaÃÃo de corrente elÃtrica de baixa intensidade e freqÃÃncia variÃvel em agulhas metÃlicas introduzidas no corpo

12. Culex quinquefasciatus vitellogenesis: morphological and biochemical aspects
The vitellogenic process in Culex quinquefasciatus, which is triggered by a blood meal, involves the synthesis, distribution and storage of the nutrients necessary for embryo development. The fat body of an adult female Cx. quinquefasciatus revealed two cell types: large trophocytes and small, eosinophilic, "oenocyte-like" cells, which show no morphological
