Rhizophores in Rhizophora mangle L: an alternative interpretation of so-called ''aerial roots''Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 78 Số 2 - Trang 213-226 - 2006
Nanuza Luíza de Menezes
Rhizophora mangle L., one of the most common mangrove species, has an aerial structure system that gives it stability in permanently swampy soils. In fact, these structures, known as "aerial roots" or "stilt roots", have proven to be peculiar branches with positive geotropism, which form a large number of roots when in contact with swampy soils. These organs have a sympodial branching syst...... hiện toàn bộ
Antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of lavender essential oilAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 87 Số 2 suppl - Trang 1397-1408

Several studies have investigated the antinociceptive, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of compounds found in the lavender essential oil (LEO), however to date, there is still lack of substantial data. The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of lavender essential oil. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical...... hiện toàn bộ
Probiotic level effects on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, cecal microbiota, and immune response of broilersAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 1011-1021
MOHAMMADREZA POURAKBARI, Alireza Seidavi, Leila Asadpour, Andrés Luis Martínez Marín
Probiotic effects on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, cecal microbiota, and immune response of broilers were studied. Two hundred one-day-old male chickens were allocated to one of five treatments (four replicates of 10 birds per treatment): control, and the same control diet supplemented with 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.015% and 0.02% probiotics. Probiotics in feed at 0.01% or h...... hiện toàn bộ
Watery and dark axons in Wallerian degeneration of the opossum's optic nerve: different patterns of cytoskeletal breakdown?Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 73 Số 2 - Trang 231-243 - 2001
Marcelo Sampaio Narciso, Jan Nora Hokoç, Ana Maria Blanco Martinez
In this paper we report a qualitative morphological analysis of Wallerian degeneration in a marsupial. Right optic nerves of opossums Didelphis marsupialis were crushed with a fine forceps and after 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168 hours the animals were anaesthetized and perfused with fixative. The optic nerves were immersed in fixative and processed for routine transmission electron microscopy. Am...... hiện toàn bộ
Response of the brain to enrichmentAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 73 Số 2 - Trang 211-220 - 2001
Marian C. Diamond
Before 1960, the brain was considered by scientists to be immutable, subject only to genetic control. In the early sixties, however, investigators were seriously speculating that environmental influences might be capable of altering brain structure. By 1964, two research laboratories proved that the morphology and chemistry or physiology of the brain could be experientially altered (Bennet...... hiện toàn bộ
Action of plant proteinase inhibitors on enzymes of physiopathological importanceAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 81 Số 3 - Trang 615-621 - 2009
Maria Luíza Vilela Oliva, Misako U. Sampaio
Obtained from leguminous seeds, various plant proteins inhibit animal proteinases, including human, and can be considered for the development of compounds with biological activity. Inhibitors from the Bowman-Birk and plant Kunitz-type family have been characterized by proteinase specificity, primary structure and reactive site. Our group mostly studies the genus Bauhinia, mainly the specie...... hiện toàn bộ
Note on the paleobiogeography of Compsognathidae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and its paleoecological implicationsAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias - Tập 86 Số 1 - Trang 127-134 - 2014
Marcos A. F. Sales, Paulo Cascon, César Leandro Schultz
The paleobiogeography of the theropod clade Compsognathidae is here reaccessed in order to test the hypothesis of this taxon being adapted specifically to inhabit semi-arid environments. Data about localities where these fossils were collected and their paleoenvironments were gathered from the literature. Compsognathids seem to be found especially in sedimentary deposits known as Fossil La...... hiện toàn bộ
