Identification and characterization of TGF�²-dependent and -independent cis-regulatory modules in the C4ST-1/CHST11 locus
Authors: C.M. Willis, J.L. Wrana and M. Kl�¼ppel
Chondroitin-4-sulfotransferase-1(C4ST-1)/carbohydrate sulfotransferase 11 (CHST11) is a Golgi-bound enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate. The sulfation pattern of chondroitin is tightly regulated during development, injury and disease, with the temporal and spatial expressi.. Read More»

Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant capacity of G6PD-deficient patients with A-(202G>A) mutation
Authors: L.S. Ondei, L.M. Silveira, A.A. Leite, D.R.S. Souza,M.A.S. Pinhel, S. Perc�¡rio, O. Ricci J�ºnior and C.R. Bonini-Domingos
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an enzymopathy in which reduced NADPH concentrations are not maintained, resulting in oxidative damage. We evaluated G6PD activity, oxidative stress levels and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity in individuals with the A-(202G>A) mutation for G6PD deficiency. Five h.. Read More»

Genotype and phenotype correlations in diabetic patients in Uruguay
Authors: A. Mimbacas, L. GarcÃ?Âa, P. Zorrilla, M. Acosta, C. Airaudo, R. Ferrero, A. Pena, B. Simonelli, E. Soto, G. Vitarella, J. Fernandez and G. Javiel
To differentiate among different types of diabetes is becoming an increasingly challenging task. We investigated whether the patient’s genetic profile is useful to identify the particular type of diabetes, to determine the corresponding hyperglycemia pathogenesis and treat accordingly. Three hundred and thirty-eight diab.. Read More»

Meiosis, spermatogenesis and nucleolar behavior in the seminiferous tubules of Alydidae, Coreidae and Rhopalidae (Heteroptera) species
Authors: H.V. Souza, F.B. Souza, S.R.C. Maruyama, M.M.U. Castanhole andM.M. Itoyama
We studied the karyotype, spermatogenesis and nucleolar activity at spermatogenesis in five species of Heteropera: Hyalymenus sp and Neomegalotomus pallescens, Alydidae; Catorhintha guttula and Hypselonotus fulvus, Coreidae; and Niesthrea sidae, Rhopalidae. They showed a red (Alydidae) or orange (Coreidae and Rhopalidae) membr.. Read More»

HPV31 and HPV33 incidence in cervical samples from women in Recife, Brazil
Authors: M.F.P.T. Baldez da Silva, B.S. Chagas, V. Guimar�£es, L.M.C. Katz,P.M. Felix, P.M. Miranda, A.A. Lima, L.C. Arraes, D.B.G. Martins, J.L. Lima Filho, R.C. Stocco, S. Crovella,7, A.C. Freitas and W. Be�§ak
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been extensively studied concerning genomic structure, infection mechanisms, and diversity of types, as well as disease progression stages and development of vaccines. HPV type prevalence can differ in specific populations in different countries, according to ethnicity. This is the first report o.. Read More»

Diallel analysis of leaf disease resistance in inbred Brazilian popcorn cultivars
Authors: R.A. Vieira, C.A. Scapim, L.M. Moterle, D.J. Tessmann, T.V. Conrado and A.T. Amaral J�ºnior
We estimated general and specific combining abilities and examined resistance to northern leaf blight (Exserohilum turcicum) and to gray leaf spot (Cercospora zeae-maydis) in a set of nine inbred popcorn lines. These inbreds were crossed in a complete diallel scheme without reciprocals, which produced 36 F1 hybrids. Two experi.. Read More»
