The role of intragestational ghrelin on postnatal development and reproductive programming in mice
(2018)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intragestational role of ghrelin in offspring development and reproductive programming in a mouse model of ghrelin imbalance during pregnancy. Female mice were injected with ...
High concentrations of sodium chloride improve microbicidal activity of ibuprofen against common cystic fibrosis pathogens
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018)
Ibuprofen (IBU-H), a widely used anti-inflammatory, also shows a marked antimicrobial effect against several bacterial species, including those involved in cystic fibrosis such as Pseudomona aeruginosa, methicillin resistant ...
Neuronal degeneration in mice induced by an epidemic strain of Saint Louis Encephalitis virus isolated in Argentina
(2018)
Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) is a neglected flavivirus that causes severe neurological disorders. The epidemic strain of SLEV, CbaAr-4005, isolated during an outbreak in Córdoba city (Argentina), causes meningitis ...
Prevalence of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) in the adult population of Córdoba, Argentina
(2018)
Objective:To determine the prevalence of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) in the population of Córdoba, Argentina and its association with other risk factors.Methods:A sample of 401 volunteers over 18 years, representative ...
Reproductive performance of male mice after hypothalamic ghrelin administration
(2018)
It has been demonstrated that food intake and reproductive physiology are both simultaneously modulated to optimize reproductive success under fluctuating metabolic conditions. Ghrelin (GHRL) is an orexigenic peptide ...
Detection and molecular characterization of Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia abortus in psittacine pet birds in Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(2018)
In order to determine the presence and genetic diversity of Chlamydia spp. in thenorth-eastern area of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, conjunctival, oropharyngeal, cloacalswab and tissues were collected from a total of ...
Clock gene period in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2018)
To contribute to a better understanding of the molecular bases of the circadian biological rhythms in Chagas disease vectors, in this work we identified functional domains in the sequences of the clock protein PERIOD in ...
Inhibitory receptor expression on T cells as marker of disease activity and target to regulate effector cellular responses in Rheumatoid Arthritis
(2018)
Objective: Inhibitory receptors are essential for the regulation of effector immune responses and may play critical roles in autoimmune diseases. We evaluated whether inhibitory receptor expression on T cells from patients ...
