Recent reports suggest that N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) blockade by MK-801 decreases tumor growth. Thus, we investigated whether other ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) antagonists were also able to modulate the proliferation of melanoma cells. On the other hand, the antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) decreases the proliferation of melanoma cells, and is included in combined therapies for melanoma. As t...
The combination of isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid) with antiestrogens seems to be a promising strategy for cancer chemotherapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of isotretinoin alone or in combination with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHTAM) and with its prodrug tamoxifen (TAM), on the functions of rat liver mitochondria, i.e., mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), bioenergetic functions and a...
O presente trabalho pretende compreender a relação entre a família e a escola, tendo como princípio o processo comunicacional entre as famílias e os professores nas organizações escolares do primeiro ciclo do ensino básico. A comunicação é preponderante e vista como uma premissa fundamental para uma boa relação dentro de uma organização. Este estudo procura descrever a sua influência na cultura e no clima da es...
Este artigo apresenta alguns comentários acerca das novas Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio de 2006. O principal objetivo foi mostrar e discutir algumas diferenças relevantes entre a versão preliminar e a versão oficial destes documentos, mais especificamente, em relação à noção de competências e do ensino da física moderna.
The 1,4-dihydropyridines OSI-1210, OSI-1211 (etaftoron), and OSI-3802 are compounds with similar chemical structure. They differ by the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and 5 of the dihydropyridine (DHP) ring and by their pharmacological action characteristics. However, as far as we know, a clear relationship between the effects of these compounds and the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and...
Abstract Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is a potent and specific inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which exhibits cardioprotective action against ischemia/reperfusion injury in intact and isolated heart. The mechanism of its cardioprotective action is not completely understood, but some results suggested that sildenafil exerts cardioprotection through the...
Este trabalho trata do ensino da tecnologia no nível escolar médio e apresenta a percepção dos professores, da área das ciências da natureza, matemática e suas tecnologias, sobre o tema. Observa-se que suas compreensões não são claras e há uma confusão entre a ciência aplicada e a tecnologia. Antes disso, discute-se uma abordagem teórica da tecnologia como o estudo científico do artificial.
Given the tremendous importance of mitochondria to basic cellular functions as well as the critical role of mitochondrial impairment in a vast number of disorders, a compelling question is whether 17[beta]-estradiol (E2) modulates mitochondrial function. To answer this question we exposed isolated liver mitochondria to E2. Three groups of rat females were used: control, ovariectomized and ovariectomized treated...

The effects of tetrandrine (6,6', 7,12-tetramethoxy-2, 2'-dimethyl-berbaman) on the mitochondrial function were assessed on oxidative stress, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), and bioenergetics of rat liver mitochondria. At concentrations lower than 100 nmol/mg protein, tetrandrine decreased the hydrogen peroxide formation, the extent of lipid peroxidation, the susceptibility to Ca2+-induced opening ...
