Supplementation levels of exogenous alpha-amylase in broilers diets
Authors: H.B. Oliveira, M.I.A. Silva and F.R. Mesquita
This study aimed to evaluate the supplementation levels of an exogenous alpha-amylase in broilers diets and compare two indicators in determining the diets energy. The experiment was divided into two parallel evaluations, being one of performance and the other of metabolism. In performance assay, 1,700 one-day-old Cobb-500 mal.. Read More»

Novel multiplex PCR for detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from stool and water samples
Authors: J.W. Vendruscolo, T.L. Waldrich, G.I.A. Saikawa, J.S. Pelayo, R.K.T. Kobayashi, G. Nakazato, S.P.D. Rocha
Diarrhea is considered the second most common cause of infant mortality worldwide. The disease can be caused by many different pathogens, including diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), which includes the pathotypes enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Shiga toxin-pro..

Assessment of genetic diversity of a native population of Eplingiella fruticosa: a plant with therapeutic potential
Authors: D.C. Silva, L.E.C. Diniz, A.F. Blank, D.A.C. Nizio, J.A.O. Pinto, K.L.G. Pereira and M.F. Arrigoni-Blank
Eplingiella fruticosa (Salzm. ex Benth.) Harley & J.F.B. Pastore, ex Hyptis fruticosa Salzm. ex Benth. is an aromatic and medicinal plant of the family Lamiaceae, found mainly in regions with intense anthropic activity. Information on the genetic diversity of this species is scarce. However, it can be assessed using molecu.. Read More»

Synergic effect of oral contraceptives, GSTP1 polymorphisms, and high-risk HPV infection in development of cervical lesions
Authors: B.S. Chagas, A.P.A.D. Gurgel, S.S.L. Paiva J�ºnior, R.C.P. Lima,M.N. Cordeiro, R.R. Moura, A.V.C. Coelho, K.C.G. Nascimento,J.C. Silva Neto, S. Crovella and A.C. Freitas
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered a risk factor for cervical cancer. Even if the high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection is necessary, environmental co-factors and genetic susceptibility also play an important role in cervical cancer development. In this study, a possible association of rs1695 GSTP1 polymorphisms, HR.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of interleukin 6 in Down syndrome individuals: a case-control study
Authors: M.F. Mattos, L. Uback, P.M. Biselli-Chicote, J.M. Biselli, E.M. Goloni-Bertollo and E.C. Pavarino
Down syndrome (DS) individuals present impaired adaptive immune system. However, the etiology of the immunological deficiency in these individuals is not completely understood. This study investigated the frequency of interleukin 6 polymorphisms (rs1800795, rs1800796, and rs1800797) in individuals with DS and individuals witho.. Read More»

Genotypic gain with simultaneous selection of production, nutrition, and culinary traits in cowpea crosses and backcrosses using mixed models
Authors: D.G. Oliveira, M.M. Rocha, K.J. Damasceno-Silva, F.V. S�¡, L.R.L. Lima, and M.D.V. Resende
The aim of this study was to estimate the genotypic gain with simultaneous selection of production, nutrition, and culinary traits in cowpea crosses and backcrosses and to compare different selection indexes. Eleven cowpea populations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Fourteen traits .. Read More»

Stability and adaptability of soybean cultivars in Minas Gerais
Authors: I.O. Soares, A.T. Bruzi, E.V. Zambiazzi, S.R. Guilherme, M.C. Bianchi, K.B. Silva, V. Fronza and C.M. Teixeira
Genotypes x environment (G x E) interaction consists of different behavior of genotypes cultivated in different environments. This interaction occurs due to the performance variation of each genotype in different environments. To reduce the effect of the interaction in soybean crops, some studies have been reported in the lite.. Read More»
