1. Vitamin D metabolism and extraskeletal outcomes: an update
ABSTRACT Vitamin D deficiency is a general health problem affecting individuals at all stages of life and on different continents. The musculoskeletal effects of vitamin D are well known. Its deficiency causes rickets, osteomalacia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism and increases the risk of fractures. Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that vitamin

2. Effects of growth hormone in the central nervous system
ABSTRACT Growth hormone (GH) is best known for its effect stimulating tissue and somatic growth through the regulation of cell division, regeneration and proliferation. However, GH-responsive neurons are spread over the entire central nervous system, suggesting that they have important roles in the brain. The objective of the present review is to summarize a

3. Testosterone therapy for women with low sexual desire: a position statement from the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism
ABSTRACT Objective To summarize current evidence regarding testosterone treatment for women with low sexual desire. Materials and methods The Female Endocrinology and Andrology Department of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism invited nine experts to review the physiology of testosterone secretion and the use, misuse, and side effects o

4. Gain of function in Mycobacterium bovis BCG Moreau due to loss of a transcriptional repressor
The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine comprises a family of genetically different strains derived by the loss of genomic regions (RDs) and other mutations. In BCG Moreau, loss of RD16 inactivates rv3405c * , encoding a transcriptional repressor that negatively regulates the expression of Rv3406, an alkyl sulfatase. To evaluate the impact of this loss o

5. Effect of mouse antisera targeting the Phlebotomus papatasi midgut chitinase PpChit1 on sandfly physiology and fitness
In sandflies, the absence of the peritrophic matrix (PM) affects the rate of blood digestion. Also, the kinetics of PM secretion varies according to species. We previously characterised PpChit1, a midgut-specific chitinase secreted in Phlebotomus papatasi (PPIS) that is involved in the maturation of the PM and showed that antibodies against PpChit1 reduce th

6. Water-induced modulation of Helicobacter pylori virulence properties
While the influence of water in Helicobacter pylori culturability and membrane integrity has been extensively studied, there are little data concerning the effect of this environment on virulence properties. Therefore, we studied the culturability of water-exposed H. pylori and determined whether there was any relation with the bacterium’s ability to adher

7. New concepts in white adipose tissue physiology
Numerous studies address the physiology of adipose tissue (AT). The interest surrounding the physiology of AT is primarily the result of the epidemic outburst of obesity in various contemporary societies. Briefly, the two primary metabolic activities of white AT include lipogenesis and lipolysis. Throughout the last two decades, a new model of AT physiology

8. Modulação do estado redox em ilhotas pancreáticas e sua implicação na secreção de insulina. / Redox modulation in pancreatic islets and its implication for insulin secretion.
O efeito de alterações no estado de óxido-redução (redox), tanto pelo aumento no estado oxidativo quanto pelo aumento no estado redutor, foi avaliado sobre a funcionalidade de ilhotas pancreáticas, através da análise da secreção de insulina estimulada pela glicose (GSIS), metabolismo da glicose e oscilações intracelulares de cálcio. O aumento no

9. Participação da NAD(P)H oxidase no direcionamento do metabolismo induzido pelo ácido oléico durante o processo de secreção de insulina. / NAD(P)H oxidase participates in the oleic acid-induced metabolic channelling during insulin secretion.
Ácidos graxos são requeridos para a manutenção da função celular e atuam como moduladores da secreção de insulina induzida. Os importantes sítios de formação de EROs são a mitocôndria e a NAD(P)H oxidase, a primeira pode alterar a produção de EROs em função da atividade metabólica e a segunda tem sua atividade regulada por diversos fatores,

10. Estudos dos genes Tbx19 e Crhr1 em cães da raça poodle com hipercortisolismo ACTH-dependente / Study of Tbx19 and Crhr1 genes in Poodle dogs with ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism
The ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism (ADH), also called Cushings disease, is one of the most commonly diagnosed endocrine diseases in dogs. The symptoms occur due to glucocorticoids excess leading to gluconeogenic, catabolic, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects in multiple organs and systems. There is a high incidence of Cushings disease in Poodle

11. Ca2+ signaling in pancreatic acinar cells: physiology and pathophysiology
The pancreatic acinar cell is a classical model for studies of secretion and signal transduction mechanisms. Because of the extensive endoplasmic reticulum and the large granular compartment, it has been possible - by direct measurements - to obtain considerable insights into intracellular Ca2+ handling under both normal and pathological conditions. Recent s

12. A expressão e atividade da NAD(P)H oxidase em ilhotas pancreáticas de ratos tratados com dieta hiperlipídica. / NAD(P)H oxidase expression and activity in pancreatic islets from rats treated with high fat diet.
Feeding animals with high fat diet containing lard causes obesity, insulin resistance and dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells. High fat diet induces oxidative stress and modulates NAD(P)H oxidase expression and activity in many tissues. This enzyme may be involved in many pathophysiological processes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the action o
