Efeitos de diferentes doses de rosuvastatina no metabolismo lipídico e dos carboidratos, morfometria do tecido adiposo e remodelamento cardíaco de camundongos C57BL/6 alimentados com dieta hiperlipídica

Existe uma significativa associação entre a prevalência de doenças cardiovasculares e a síndrome metabólica. Evidências mostram que a obesidade está associada a alterações estruturais e funcionais do coração. As estatinas podem reduzir a síntese endógena de colesterol e, portanto, são utilizadas como uma importante ferramenta contra a hipercolesterolemia em pacientes obesos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar os efeitos da rosuvastatina no metabolismo lipídico e dos carboidratos, morfometria do tecido adiposo e no remodelamento cardíaco de camundongos alimentados com uma dieta hiperlipídica. Neste trabalho foram utilizados 50 camundongos distribuidos em cinco grupos: grupo controle (alimentado com dieta padrão), grupo hiperlipídico (alimentado com dieta hipelipídica 60%), grupo hiperlipídico + rosuvastatina 10 (alimentado com dieta hipelipídica 60% - acrescido de 10 mg de rosuvastatina), grupo hiperlipídico + rosuvastatina 20 (alimentado com dieta hipelipídica 60% - acrescido de 20 mg de rosuvastatina), grupo hiperlipídico + rosuvastatina 40 (alimentado com dieta hipelipídica 60% - acrescido de 40 mg de rosuvastatina). Foram estudados os efeitos do tratamento com diferentes doses de rosuvastatina na massa corporal, metabolismo dos carboidratos e lipídios, pressão arterial, remodelamento na estrutura cardíaca e mudanças ultraestruturais no coração de camundongos C57BL / 6 machos alimentados com uma dieta hiperlipídica. O tratamento com rosuvastatina reduziu os níveis de lípidos no sangue, melhorou a resistência à insulina e diminuiu a pressão arterial dos camundongos alimentados com dieta rica em lipídeos. Além disso, atenuou o remodelamento cardíaco, diminuindo a fibrose intersticial e perivascular, e manteve a integridade morfológica mitocondrial, com menor produção de proteina desacopladora-2 (UCP2). Assim, a rosuvastatina tem efeitos benéficos sobre as alterações metabólicas dos carboidratos e lipídios, e no remodelamento cardíaco induzidas por dieta hiperlipídica.

PiXadores, torcedores, bate-bolas e funkeiros: doses do enigma no reino da humanidade esclarecida

A partir de um vasto trabalho de pesquisa de campo no seio de uma rede de praticas culturais jovens marginalizadas especialmente na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, embora não somente nela, circulando entre a piXação, as Torcidas Organizadas, os Bailes Funk de Corredor e as turmas de Bate-Bolas uma espécie de constelação maldita das ruas , emergiram materiais empíricos como expressões, gestos, narrativas, etnografias, objetos, fotos e vídeos. Pois bem, nesta tese de doutoramento, sugiro a potência de tais cotidianos na performatização, mais ou menos inconsciente, de resistências às categorias tradicionais da epistemologia moderna, tais como a consciência, a boa razão, o risco zero, a vida bem calculada, enfim, todo o apanágio do reino da humanidade esclarecida. Dou especial atenção também, aos desafios que essas estéticas lançam às amarras gramaticais da linguagem que, repousada sobre sua estrutura designativa, privilegiou um sistema interpretativo de representação e lançou a noção de presença à marginalidade de nossa subjetividade. Para tanto, entendo esses cotidianos como vidas que, fazendo bom uso de seus enigmas, balançam a dinastia do pensamento dirigido. Nessa tarefa, então, de esmiuçar esses choques epistemológicos, sugiro aproximações entre essas produções éticasestéticas jovens e as noções de presença em Gumbrecht, de inconsciente coletivo em Jung, de cogito em Foucault, de dispêndio em Bataille, do gaio saber em Nietzsche, de communitas em Turner, de sentido do não-sentido em Castoriadis, assim como de algumas contribuições de Maffesoli, Heidegger, Blanchot, entre outros

Effects of physiological doses of vitamin D sub(3) (Cholecalciferol) on induced molting and growth in giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man)

Effects of three different doses of vitamin D sub(3) on molting, growth, and calcium and phosphate composition of tissue and molt during the grow-out of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (average weight 10.56 ± 0.20 g), obtained from a grow-out pond, were studied. Intramuscular doses of vitamin D sub(3) (100, 500 and 2000 IU/kg body weight) were given on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th days. All the experimental animals were fed with a basal diet containing fish meal, shrimp meal, wheat flour, groundnut de-oiled cake, soybean meal and wheat bran at 3% of the body weight. The numbers of molts were recorded as 20±0.50, 29±1.16, 51±1.87, and 30±1.60 in control, 100, 500 and 2000 IU/kg body weight physiological doses, respectively. Maximum growth was recorded in prawns given 500 IU/ kg dose. Survival was between 58.33 ± 9.13 and 77.77 ± 8.61%. The ash content and calcium level increased significantly (p<0.05) and recorded the highest values in 500 IU/kg physiological dose. However, the inorganic phosphate (P sub(i)) content recorded the highest values in tissue in 2000 IU/kg dose (p<0.05, F = 50.60613). There is no significant difference in calcium contents (p>0.05) in both tissue and molt at 500 and 2000 IU/kg doses. It was found that a higher physiological dose (2000 IU/kg) of vitamin D sub(3) increased the rate of mortality. Results have shown that vitamin D sub(3) has a positive impact on the growth and survival of M. rosenbergii and it interferes with the metabolism of Ca and P sub(i), in tissue, and alters molting frequency. Results on physiological dose suggest an alternative and effective dietary supplementation method of vitamin D sub(3) in the grow-out phase of M. rosenbergii.

Effect of carp PG doses on induced breeding of Shing, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch)

Five hormone doses viz. 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mg of carp PG/kg of body weight of the recipient fish were tested and they were designated as T1 T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively. Significantly higher fertilization (98%) and hatching rates (38%) were obtained from T3 (75 mg of carp PG extract/kg body weight). While T4 (100 mg of carp PG extract/kg body weight) and T5 (125 mg of carp PG extract/kg body weight) gave the highest (90%) ovulation rate. In June and July the highest fertilization rate of 96 and 96.4% respectively and hatching rate 42.5 and 48.7% respectively were obtained. In over all consideration carp PG extract at a dose of 75 mg/kg body weight appears to be the suitable dose for induced breeding of H. fossilis and June and July are the suitable time for its induced breeding.

The formation and characteristics of Si1-xCx alloys in Si crystals by means of implantation of cions with different doses

Carbon ions with concentration of (0.6-1.5)% were implanted into silicon crystals at room temperature and Si1-xCx alloys were grown by solid phase epitaxy with high temperature annealing. The formation and characteristics of Si1-xCx alloys under different implanted carbon doses were studied. If the implanted carbon atom concentration was less than 0.6%, carbon atoms would tend to combine with the defects produced during implantation and it was difficult for Si1-xCx alloys to form during annealing at 850-950 degreesC. With the increase of implanted C concentration, almost all implanted carbon atoms would occupy substitution positions to form Si1-xCx alloys, but only part of implanted carbon atoms would occupy the substitution position to form Si1-xCx alloys as the implanted dose increased to 1.5 %. Most Si1-xCx alloy phases would vanish as the annealing temperature was increased higher.

Sensitivity of Total-Dose Radiation Hardness of SIMOX Buried Oxides to Doses of Nitrogen Implantation into Buried Oxides

In order to improve the total-dose radiation hardness of the buried oxides(BOX) in the structure of separa tion-by-implanted-oxygen(SIMOX) silicon-on-insulator(SOI), nitrogen ions are implanted into the buried oxides with two different doses,2 × 1015 and 3 × 1015 cm-2 , respectively. The experimental results show that the radiation hardness of the buried oxides is very sensitive to the doses of nitrogen implantation for a lower dose of irradiation with a Co-60 source. Despite the small difference between the doses of nitrogen implantation, the nitrogen-implanted 2 × 1015 cm-2 BOX has a much higher hardness than the control sample (i. e. the buried oxide without receiving nitrogen implantation) for a total-dose irradiation of 5 × 104rad(Si), whereas the nitrogen-implanted 3 × 1015 cm-2 BOX has a lower hardness than the control sample. However,this sensitivity of radiation hardness to the doses of nitrogen implantation reduces with the increasing total-dose of irradiation (from 5 × 104 to 5 × 105 rad (Si)). The radiation hardness of BOX is characterized by MOS high-frequency (HF) capacitance-voltage (C-V) technique after the top silicon layers are removed. In addition, the abnormal HF C-V curve of the metal-silicon-BOX-silicon(MSOS) structure is observed and explained.

Prematurely condensed chromosome fragments in human lymphocytes induced by high doses of high-linear-energy-transfer irradiation

This study provides a useful biodosimetry protocol for radiation accidents that involve high doses of heavy particle radiation. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were irradiated in vitro with high doses (5–50 Gy) of charged heavy-ion particles (carbon ions, at an effective linear-energy-transfer (LET) of 34.6 keV/ m), and were then stimulated to obtain dividing cells. PBLs were treated with 100nMcalyculin A to force chromosomes to condense prematurely, and chromosome spreads were obtained and stained with Giemsa. The G2 prematurely condensed chromosome (G2-PCC) index and the number of G2-PCC including fragments (G2-PCC-Fs) per cell for each radiation dose point were scored. Dose-effect relationships were obtained by plotting the G2-PCC indices or G2-PCC-Fs numbers against radiation doses. The G2-PCC index was greater than 5% up to doses of 15 Gy; even after a 30Gy radiation dose, the index was 1 to 2%. At doses higher than 30 Gy, however, the G2-PCC indices were close to zero. The number of G2-PCC-Fs increased steeply for radiation doses up to 30 Gy at a rate of 1.07 Gy−1. At doses higher than 30 Gy, the numbers of G2-PCC-Fs could not be accurately indexed because of the limited numbers of cells for analysis. Therefore, the number of G2-PCC-Fs could be used to estimate radiation doses up to 30 Gy. In addition, a G2-PCC index close to zero could be used as an indicator for radiation doses greater than 40 Gy.

Cytogenetic Effects of Low Doses of Energetic Carbon Ions on Rice After Exposures of Dry Seeds, Wet Seeds and Seedlings

In order to investigate the biological effects of heavy ion radiation at low closes and the different radiosensitivities of growing and non-growing plants. rice at different lift stages (dry seed, wet seed and seedling) were exposed to carbon ions at closes of 0 02, 0.2, 2 and 20 Gy. Radiobiological effects on survival, root growth and mitotic activity, as well as the induction of chromosome aberrations in root meristem. were observed The results show that radiation exposure induces a stimulatory response at lower close and an inhibitory response at higher dose on the mitotic activity of wet seeds and seedlings Cytogenetic damages are induced in both seeds and seedlings by carbon ion radiation at doses as low as 0.02 Gy Compared with seedlings. seeds are more resistant to the lethal damage and the growth rate damage by high doses of carbon ions, but are more sensitive to cytogenetic damage by low closes of irradiation Different types of radiation induced chromosome aberrations are observed between seeds and seedlings. Based on these results, the relationships between low close heavy ion-induced biological effects and the biological materials are discussed.
