In the search for new leishmanicidal agents, Thymus capitellatus Hoffmanns. & Link (familyLamiaceae) volatile extract and its major compounds, 1,8-cineole and borneol, were testedagainst Leishmania infantum, Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major. Plant volatile extract(essential oil) was analysed by GC and GC–MS and the activity of essential oil on Leishmaniapromastigotes viability was assessed using tetrazol...
A malformação quística adenometoideia congénita do pulmão consiste numa massa de quistos revestidos por epitélio respiratório resultante da proliferação dos bronquíolos terminais.A sua apresentação clínica é muito diversa, desde casos de morte fetal por hidrops não imune até quadros de infecções pulmonares recorrentes na infância.Os autores descrevem dois casos clínicos de malformação quística adenomatoideia co...

Oxidative stress has been associated with prostate cancer development and progression due to an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the mechanisms whereby ROS and the antioxidant system participate in cancer progression remain unclear. In order to clarify the influence of oxidative stress in prostate cancer progression, we performed this study in two human prostate cancer cell lines, PC3 and HP...
Tendo em vista a valorização deste recurso natural, este trabalho tem como principal objectivo a produção de extractos aquosos das partes aéreas da carqueja e a sua caracterização.
This work aimed to optimize the in vitro multiplication phase of the gore (Pterospartum tridentatum (L. Wilk)).
The aerial parts of Pterospartum tridentatum, a wild growing species in Portugal used in traditional medicine and gastronomy, were harvested at different stages (vegetative phase, flowering phase and beginning of dormancy) in two locations in Portugal (Malcata and Gardunha mountains), and the respective aqueous extracts have been studied. The influence of the seasonal variation in the extraction yield, total ph...
The bioactivity of natural antioxidants from plant extracts is well known. Still, the effectiveness of these natural antioxidants, namely polyphenols, depends on preserving their stability, which can be increased by microencapsulation. The aim of this study was to protect natural antioxidants from the aqueous extract of Portuguese wild herb Pterospartum tridentatum by encapsulation in alginate hydrogel microbea...
