1. Simultaneous Quantification of Plasma Catecholamines and Metanephrines by LC-MS/MS
The quantification of the low levels of catecholamines and metanephrines in biological fluids is important for clinical screening of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and diagnosis of overtraining syndrome in athletes. We introduce a novel, accurate and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of

2. Zn treatment effects on biological potential of fennel bulbs as affected by in vitro digestion process
Abstract Zn treatment effects on the stability of polyphenols, MDA (malondialdehyde) content, antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition activities of two varieties of fennel bulbs were studied by using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. Likewise, the effect of Zn on viability cells of E. coli was also performed. The results revealed that high amount

3. Exosomes as Biomarker of Cancer
ABSTRACT Rapid advances in medicine and biotechnology resulted in the development of non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers enabling convenient and accurate detection. Exosomes has recently emerged as non-invasive biomarker for a number of diseases including cancer. Exosomes are the small endosome originated membranous vesicles secreted in a numbe

4. ÉTERES DIFENÍLICOS POLIBROMADOS (PBDE) COMO CONTAMINANTES PERSISTENTES: OCORRÊNCIA, COMPORTAMENTO NO AMBIENTE E ESTRATÉGIAS ANALÍTICAS
Flame retardants are substances mixed with numerous materials to inhibit the combustion process, reducing risks and damages caused by fires. Among these substances, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used for decades due to their low cost and high efficiency. However, since they are mixed and not chemically bonded to the materials, PBDEs

5. METABOLÔMICA: DEFINIÇÕES, ESTADO-DA-ARTE E APLICAÇÕES REPRESENTATIVAS
Metabolomics is an emerging and promising omics approach used to understand biological mechanisms. By untargeted and targeted metabolomics analyses, metabolites are determined in biological samples (fluids, cells, tissues, etc.) by comparison of control groups with altered groups, undergoing different therapies, submitted to differing stress levels, dietary

6. Metabolomics as a promising tool for early osteoarthritis diagnosis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the main cause of disability worldwide, due to progressive articular cartilage loss and degeneration. According to recent research, OA is more than just a degenerative disease due to some metabolic components associated to its pathogenesis. However, no biomarker has been identified to detect this disease at early stages or to track its

7. Antiviral activity of animal venom peptides and related compounds
Abstract Viruses exhibit rapid mutational capacity to trick and infect host cells, sometimes assisted through virus-coded peptides that counteract host cellular immune defense. Although a large number of compounds have been identified as inhibiting various viral infections and disease progression, it is urgent to achieve the discovery of more effective agent

8. Colorimetric Detection of Glucose in Biological Fluids Using Toner-Based Microzone Plates
This report describes the use of toner-based microzone plates for quantitative determination of glucose in artificial urine and human serum samples using colorimetric detection. The proposed approach has exhibited a linear response for glucose concentration levels from 0 to 10 mmol L-1 with determination coefficient (R2) of 0.996. The achieved values for sen

9. Electroanalytical Characterization of Montelukast Sodium and Its Voltammetric Determination in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form and Biological Fluids
The electrochemical properties of montelukast sodium (MKST) at zinc oxide nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. All studies were based on the irreversible and adsorption-controlled electrochemical reduction signal of montelukast sodium at about -0.7 vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 2.3 in methanol

10. Wettability and Morphological Characterization of a Polymeric Bacterial Cellulose / corn Starch Membrane
The uses of polymer blends have stimulated research to promote a better performance of existing raw materials. The implementation of blends in the production of polymeric membranes has shown great results in regenerative medicine and consequently it has improved the application of biomaterials in this area. This study aimed to evaluate the morphology and wet

11. Validation and clinical application of a molecular method for the identification of Cryptococcus neoformans/Cryptococcus gattii complex DNA in human clinical specimens
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of cryptococcosis is usually performed based on cultures of tissue or body fluids and isolation of the fungus, but this method may require several days. Direct microscopic examination, although rapid, is relatively insensitive. Biochemical and immunodiagnostic rapid tests are also used. However, all of these methods have limitations th

12. Development of a Selective and Sensitive Sensor for Urate Determination Based on Tris(1,10-phenantroline)copper(II) Bis(tetracyanoquinodimethanide) Adsorbed on Carbon Nanotubes
The present work describes the development of a selective electrochemical sensor for urate based on tris(1,10-phenantroline)copper(II) bis(tetracyanoquinodimethanide) (Cu(phen)3(TCNQ)2) adsorbed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT). The composite material was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical impedanc
