Maur?cio Rocha e Silva is well known as the discoverer of bradykinin, the powerful hypotensive and smooth muscle stimulating polypeptide which was first detected in plasma following the addition of Bo…
We applied 2-photon laser ablation to write subdiffraction nanoscale chemical patterns into ultrathin polymer films under ambient conditions. Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate brush layers were prepa…
We present a simulation study of pattern formation in an ensemble of chemotactic run-and-tumble bacteria, focussing on the effect of spatial confinement, either within traps or inside a maze. These ge…
Free radical generation by peritoneal leukocytes from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice was monitored for 18 days following infection with Eimeria vermiformis. Free radical generation occurred earlier and was q…
The photophysical, photochemical, two-photon absorption (2PA) and metal ion sensing properties of a new fluorene derivative (E)-1-(7-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)styryl)-9,9-bis(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9…
The aim of this research was to determine the adsorption behaviour of bulgur. Three different particle sizes (2<coarse<3.5, 1.6<medium<3.0, 0.5<fine<2.0 mm) of bulgur, purchased from market, were kept…
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) injected into the third ventricle (3rd V) of conscious ovariectomized rats bearing a permanent jugular cannula increased the percentage of plasma samples showing detectable imm…
Spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) provides a new experimental tool for structural investigation. Due to the action of spin-echo encoding, SESANS measures a spatial correlation function…
Ovalbumin was modified with alpha,beta-poly[(2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide] which had been developed as a nontoxic plasma expander. Preadministration of the modified ovalbumin suppressed both primary…
The purpose of this study was to document the temporal changes in vascular reactivity occurring simultaneously in central, peripheral and microvascular resistance arteries in the same cohort of women …
The protection against diabetes and cardiovascular disease provided by whole-grain cereal consumption has been attributed to the fiber and micronutrients present in the bran. But exactly how this occu…
In this study we investigated the formation of isomers of lycopene, phytoene, and phytofluene from tomato and their theoretical energy. The results indicated that certain (Z)-isomers are favored therm…
Effect of wheat bran on the vitamin status of rats adequately provided with vitamins or insufficiently supplied with vitamins has been investigated. 32 male Wistar weaning rats (initial body mass--49-…
The aim of the study was to determine the most beneficial proportion of raw linseed in complete feed mixtures for turkey hens on the basis of lipid and redox indicators in the blood. In experiment 1, …
In this work, a hybrid method for the rapid speciation of mercury compounds by cation exchange chromatographic separation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection is reporte…
Synthetic alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc) contains equal amounts of eight different stereoisomers arising from three chiral centers in the phytyl tail. Of these, the four stereoisomers with the 2R config…
In the present molecular modelling study, recently discovered 36 selective urea derivatives were considered to develop pharmacophore based 3D-QSAR model coupled with quantum mechanics (QM) calculation…
Echinococcus multilocularis, Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp. are foodborne parasites whose eggs or oocysts are spread in the environment via canid or felid faeces. They can cause infections in hum…
Electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus in anesthetized lean and obese Zucker rats produced equivalent activation of the sympatho-adrenal system (assessed by plasma norepinephrine [NE] and epinephr…
Zomepirac sodium inhibited the reflex hypertension caused by an injection of bradykinin into the splenic artery of anaesthetized dogs, but not that by injection of bradykinin plus PGE1. In the rat ace…
