Aims: To evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) effects of rhEPO treatment in rats under chronic aerobic exercise and to assess the probable cause of sudden death in one rat. Protocol: Male Wistar rats: control - sedentary; rhEPO - 50 IU/Kg/3xwk; swimming (EX) -1 hr, 3x/wk; EX+EPO. Hematology, catecholamines and serotonin, redox status and inflammation, were assessed. One rat of EX+EPO group suffered a sudden death e...
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) has been therapeutically used for correction of anaemia. However, due to the increase in circulating red blood cells (RBCs) it promotes, thus increasing oxygen delivery to muscles and improving performance in sport, it has been also illegally used as sports doping. Besides the well known increase of hematocrit and blood viscosity; which might cause serious complications ...

Avaliou-se a cromatografia em camada delgada (CCD) como método de diagnóstico toxicológico para os casos de intoxicação por aldicarb em cães e gatos, utilizando-se 50 amostras de conteúdo gástrico obtidas durante a necropsia e 50 amostras de alimentos utilizados como iscas para intoxicar criminalmente os animais. Todas as amostras resultaram positivas para o aldicarb, mostrando ser a CCD uma técnica qualitativa...

A theoretical procedure is reported, which aims at finding the best molar distribution of two enzymes (considered equivalent and mutually exclusive in terms of occupancy of immobilisation sites), coimmobilised in a slab-shaped porous bead, that catalyse two sequential irreversible reactions (involving an initial reactant species, an intermediate species and a final product species, at 1:1:1 stoichiometry) follo...
The role of sympathetic nerve activity in the changes in arterial blood pressure and renal function caused by the chronic administration of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, was examined in sham and bilaterally renal denervated rats. Several studies have demonstrated that sympathetic nerve activity is elevated acutely after L-NAME administration. To evaluate...
