1. Effects of Hyperthyroidism on Contractility and Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Activity in the Isolated Papillary Muscle of Rats
Abstract Background: Hyperthyroidism (Hy) is an endocrine disorder, in which the thyroid hormones markedly alter the cardiac function. Increased myocardial contractility and cardiac output, improvement in diastolic relaxation, changes in electrical activity, increments in ventricular mass, and arrhythmias have been reported. However, the influences of thyro

2. Effect of Physical Training on Nitric Oxide Levels in Patients with Arterial Hypertension: An Integrative Review
Abstract The regular practice of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) has been encouraged due to causing a series of physiological responses in the cardiovascular system, such as the production of vasoactive substances, including nitric oxide (NO). NO is a relaxation factor released by the endothelium, and the de

3. NANOMATERIAIS PLASMÔNICOS: PARTE I. FUNDAMENTOS DA ESPECTROSCOPIA DE NANOPARTÍCULAS E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O EFEITO SERS
We perform an analysis of plasmonic nanomaterials in a two part review, the first of which constitutes the present work. Here, attention is given to the fundamentals of metal nanoparticle optical properties. It is discussed the principles regarding the excitation of localized surface plasmon modes in nanostructures of different sizes, shapes and surrounding

4. Flexure Based Energy Dissipating Device in Self-Centering Braces
Abstract Self-centering braces, in the current stage of development can accommodate large deformation and force levels. However, there is still a need for improvement of the energy dissipation mechanisms commonly incorporated in these braces. Yield based energy dissipation systems can overcome some of the problems faced with friction-based devices, such as s

5. Curcuma Longa Abolishes Phenylephrine-Induced Contractions in Isolated Aortic Artery of Rats
Abstract Background: Curcuma longa has biological effects. Its cardiovascular activities are yet to be scientifically studied. Objectives: To investigate the vasorelaxant effects of the aqueous extract of Curcuma longa (AECL). Methods: Aortic annuli of normotensive rats, with or without endothelium, were set up in a data storage system with nutrient solut

6. Lactate-upregulation of lactate oxidation complex-related genes is blunted in left ventricle of myocardial infarcted rats
Lactate modulates the expression of lactate oxidation complex (LOC)-related genes and cardiac blood flow under physiological conditions, but its modulatory role remains to be elucidated regarding pathological cardiac stress. The present study evaluated the effect of lactate on LOC-related genes expression and hemodynamics of hearts submitted to myocardial in

7. Denaturation processes of collagen from cow bones as a function of temperature
ABSTRACT The thermal stability of collagen is of great interest for the scientific communities both of medicine and archaeology. In medicine, the interest is focused to the reconstruction and repair of bone and cartilage, given the frequency and importance of pathological situations. In contrast, in archaeology the interest is focused to infer from buried an

8. Mechanical Spectroscopy of Ti-15Zr-based Alloys with Mo Addition
In this paper, the effect of substitutional Mo amounts in internal friction and interstitial diffusion mechanisms was analyzed in Ti-15Zr-based alloys. Mechanical spectroscopy was obtained from room temperature up to 730 K with frequencies between 1 Hz and 40 Hz. Internal friction spectra were composed by anelastic relaxation peaks in β-type alloys (metasta

9. Respiratory Muscle Training Improves Diaphragm Citrate Synthase Activity and Hemodynamic Function in Rats with Heart Failure
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Enhanced respiratory muscle strength in patients with heart failure positively alters the clinical trajectory of heart failure. In an experimental model, respiratory muscle training in rats with heart failure has been shown to improve cardiopulmonary function through mechanisms yet to be entirely elucidated. OBJECTIVE: The present r

10. Expression profiles of eNOS, iNOS and microRNA-27b in the corpus cavernosum of rats submitted to chronic alcoholism and Diabetes mellitus
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the expression of endothelial and inducible NOS in addition to the miRNA-27b in the corpus cavernosum and peripheral blood of healthy rats, diabetic rats, alcoholic rats and rats with both pathologies. Methods: Forty eight Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control (C), alcoholic (A), diabetic (D) and alcoholic-diabeti

11. Assessment of endothelial function by flow-mediated dilation in diabetic patients: Effects of physical exercise
Abstract The endothelium is now recognized as an endocrine organ that acts to maintain vascular homeostasis regulating the vascular tone and structure. The endothelial cells synthetize a variety of mediators among them, the main agent is the nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator. NO exerts its protective role preventing leukocyte adhesion and migration, ex

12. Mechanical Behavior of Electrodeposited Bulk Nanocrystalline Fe-Ni Alloys
Bulk nanocrystalline Fe-Ni alloys with Ni content of 40-55 at.%, grain size of 12-15 nm, and hardness of 3.9-4.6 were prepared by an electrodeposition. The decrease in the hardness values as grain size decreased was discussed in terms of grain refinement effect, solid solution strengthening, and grain boundary relaxation strengthening. It was found that the
