No primeiro ano da licenciatura em Ciências da Nutrição, na Faculdade de Ciências da Nutrição e Alimentação, da Universidade do Porto, existem duas Unidades Curriculares que introduzem a Bioquímica aos estudantes [Química Orgânica e Bioquímica I (no 1º e 2º semestres, respetivamente)] e cujos programas e modalidades pedagógicas estão inter-relacionados, confrontando o estudante, progressivamente ao longo do ano...
(-)-∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9-THC), a psychoactive component of marijuana, has been reported to induce oxidative damage in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we administered ∆9-THC to healthy C57BL/6J mice aged 15 weeks in order to determine its effect on hepatic redox state. Mice were divided into 3 groups: ∆9-THC (N = 10), treated with 10 mg/kg body weight ∆9-THC daily; VCtrl (N...

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is important in calcification and its expression seems to be associated with the inflammatory process. We investigated the in vitro acute effects of compounds used for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases on total ALP activity from male Wistar rat heart homogenate. ALP activity was determined by quantifying, at 410 nm, the p-nitrophenol released from p-nitrophenylpho...
Our objective was to characterize the modulation of the activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) by classic inhibitors of ALP activity, cholesterol and steroid hormones, in order to identify catalytic similarities between yeast and mammalian ALPs. S. cerevisiae expresses two ALPs, coded for by the PHO8 and PHO13 genes. The product of the PHO8 gene is repressible by Pi in the medium. ALP...
In experimental ageing models an inverse relationship between age and alkaline phosphatase activity has been observed.To characterize serum levels of alkaline phosphatase activity in humans according to age and gender.Serum alkaline phosphatase was determined in a random sample of 203 community dwellers aged 40 or more years.In men (n=87) total serum alkaline phosphatase markedly increased from the 5th to the 6...
The feeding behaviour of Barbus bocagei was assessed in a lowland system by a two years survey Of two contrasting sites also talking into account, for the first time diurnal changes of fish diet and benthos availability.
A case is reported of a patient with an asymmetric septate uterus and menstrual retention in the blind cavity localized on the right side of the septum. A review is made of the literature about this rare malformation first described by Robert, is made. ; A case is reported of a patient with an asymmetric septate uterus and menstrual retention in the blind cavity localized on the right side of the septum. A rev...
