1. The Unionidae are among the most endangered fauna in the world and globally in decline. They are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation, susceptible to flow, pollution and climatic disturbances and introduction of invasive species. Despite their well-recognized ecological and conservation importance, there is a surprising lack of genomic resources currently available for European species. ...
Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas ; Atualmente as doenças cardiovasculares (DCVs) são responsáveis pela elevada taxa de mortalidade e morbilidade na maioria dos países, embora nas últimas décadas esta situação se tenha agravado nos países desenvolvidos. Por este motivo, são cada vez mais os estudos que têm vin...
Mushrooms contain a huge diversity of biomolecules with bioactive properties [1-3] that should be explored. Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers. (morel) is one of the most highly prized edible mushrooms in the world. In the present work a comparative study on the antioxidant properties (scavenging activity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation) and antimicrobial activity (antibacterial and demelanizin...
O objectivo deste trabalho visa avaliar a degradação fotocatalitica dos corantes azo Remazol Amarelo Ouro, Azul e Carbon RGB. Para tal foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: concentração de TiO2, concentração do corante, efeito do H2O2, efeito do pH e da reciclagem de TiO2. TiO2 Degussa P25 foi testado em concentrações a partir de 0gL-1 a 1 gL-1. A concentração do corante foi de 30 mgL-1 a 120 mgL-1 e a conce...
Our research has been focused on the documentation of nutritional composition and nutraceutical potential of wild mushrooms, making the information available for a better management and conservation of these species and related habitats. In the present work, the chemical composition and bioactivity of three wild edible Boletus sp. (Boletus aereus, Boletus edulis, Boletus reticulatus) from Northeast Portugal wer...
The implication of oxidative and nitrosative stress in the etiology and progression of several acute and chronic clinical disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, has led to the suggestion that natural antioxidants can have health benefits as prophylactic agents (1). In this perspective, the presence of mushrooms in our diet which contain significant amounts of bioactive phytoche...
Coriander (coriandrum sativumL.) is a plant from the Umbellifera family. In Portugal, the use of coriander plants in gastronomy is very common, like in all the countries in the Mediterranean area. This plant species has also several other applications than as an aromatic plant, such as medicinal, being recommended for dyspeptic complaints, loss of appetite, convulsion, insomnia and anxiety. Moreover, the essent...
