Enteric viruses in surface waters from Argentina: molecular and viable-virus detection
(2018)
Water resources contaminated with wastewater are an important source for the dissemination of enteric viruses with an impact on the health of the population. The aim of the study was to assess the viral contamination of ...
cDNA isolation and expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase gene in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans
(American Society of Tropial Medicine and Hygiene, 2018)
Pyrethroid resistance has been detected in Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), which was atributed to target site insensitivity and increased oxidative metabolism of the insecticide by cytochrome P450s. NADPH ...
NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase-1/11 pathway orchestrate different outcomes in the host protection against trypanosoma cruzi acute infection
(2018)
Infection with protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi results in activation of nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing receptors (NLRs). NLR activation leads to inflammasome formation, the activation of ...
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial adaptive shift during pituitary tumoral growth
(2018)
The cellular transformation of normal functional cells to neoplastic ones implies alterations in the cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function in order to provide the bioenergetics and growth requirements for tumour ...
The response of prostate smooth muscle cells to testosterone is determined by the subcellular distribution of the androgen receptor
(2018)
Androgen signaling in prostate smooth muscle cells (pSMCs) is critical for the maintenance of prostate homeostasis, the alterations of which are a central aspect in the development of pathological conditions. Testosterone ...
Long-term relationship between tobacco use and weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy
(2018)
BACKGROUND: Smoking cessation had been typically associated with weight gain. We have reported that there is no relationship between tobacco use and weight loss after bariatric surgery in the short term. The objective of ...
Effects of dietary omega-3 PUFAs on growth and development: Somatic, neurobiological and reproductive functions in a murine model
(2018)
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) are relevant to fetal and infant growth and development. Objective: to assess whether long-term exposure to dietary ω-3 PUFA imbalance alters pre- and/or postnatal pups' ...
Inefficient N2-like neutrophils are promoted by androgens during infection
(2018)
Neutrophils are major effectors of acute inflammation against infection and tissue damage, with ability to adapt their phenotype according to the microenvironment. Although sex hormones regulate adaptive immune cells, which ...
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 ...
