Hypoxia-related lipid peroxidation: Evidences, implications and approaches
(CIENCIAS, 2007)
Hypoxia may be intensified by concurrent oxidative stress. Lack of oxygen in relation to aerobic ATP requirements, as hypoxia has been defined, goes along with an increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ...
Objetivos moleculares para diseñar nuevos fármacos para el tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 2 y la obesidad
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Current strategies to treat type 2 diabetes (DMT2) include reducing insulin resistance using glitazones, supplementing with exogenous insulin, increasing endogenous insulin production with sulfonylureas and meglitinides, ...
Gelatinolytic activity in gingival crevicular fluid from teeth with periapical lesions
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Objective. Many matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) have been associated with periodontal tissue destruction during chronic and apical periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine gelatinolytic activity in gingival ...
IgE serum concentration against airborne fungi in children with respiratory allergies
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Background: To evaluate total and specific E immunoglobulin (IgE) antibody concentrations in underage subjects with respiratory allergic diseases. Methods: This study was a transversal-type study in 100 underage subjects ...
Dendroclimatological reconstructions in South America: A review
(CIENCIAS, 2009)
Recent years have seen a consolidation and expansion of tree-ring sample collection across South America. Most collections are concentrated in the temperate forests along the eastern and western slopes of the Southern Andes ...
Biogeographic origin and thermal acclimation interact to determine survival and hsp90 expression in Drosophila species submitted to thermal stress
(CIENCIAS, 2012)
The relationship between thermal tolerance and environmental conditions has been extensively studied in Drosophila. However, comparisons of thermal tolerance of laboratory-bred flies derived from distinct geographic locations ...
Microtubule-associated protein 1B ( MAP1B)-deficient neurons show structural presynaptic deficiencies in vitro and altered presynaptic physiology (vol 6, 30069, 2016).
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) is expressed predominantly during the early stages of development of the nervous system, where it regulates processes such as axonal guidance and elongation. Nevertheless, MAP1B ...
Stages and transitions in the development of tooth brushing skills in children of Mexican immigrant families: a qualitative study
(CIENCIAS, 2015)
Objectives: Compared with white children, the oral health of Latino children in the United States is much worse. One factor contributing to oral health is tooth brushing. Few studies have addressed the formation of the ...
Ectotherms in Variable Thermal Landscapes: A Physiological Evaluation of the Invasive Potential of Fruit Flies Species
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Climate change and biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the potential biological impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but changes in thermal variance may ...
An efficient semi-analytical method to compute displacements and stresses in an elastic half-space with a hemispherical pit
(CIENCIAS, 2015)
This paper presents an efficient method to calculate the displacement and stress fields in an isotropic elastic half-space having a hemispherical pit and being subject to gravity. The method is semi-analytical and takes ...
