Elevated CETP activity during acute phase of myocardial infarction is independently associated with endothelial dysfunction and adverse clinical outcome

Autores: Luiz Sergio F Carvalho, Vitor W M Virginio, Natalia B Panzoldo et al.

Recent data suggests that cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity may interact with acute stress conditions via inflammatory-oxidative response and thrombogenesis. We investigated this assumption in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Consecutive patients with...

Determination of Chemical Antioxidants and Phenolic Compounds in the Brazilian Mushroom Agaricus sylvaticus

Autores: J V Costa Orsine, Mr Cg Novaes, E Ramirez Asquieri et al.

Agaricus sylvaticus mushroom has been widely studied because of its high nutritional value and medicinal properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of both alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Agaricus...

Waist circumference in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus

Autores: Cláudia Vicari Bolognani, Lilian Barros de Sousa Moreira Reis, Sulani Silva de Souza et al.

To evaluate waist circumference (WC) measured at 20-24 weeks of gestation as a predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This cross-sectional study included 240 women at 20-24 weeks of gestation. At enrollment, WC was measured,...

HDL levels and oxidizability during myocardial infarction are associated with reduced endothelial-mediated vasodilation and nitric oxide bioavailability

Autores: Luiz Sergio F Carvalho, Natália Panzoldo, Simone N Santos et al.

Acute phase response modifies high-density lipoprotein (HDL) into a dysfunctional particle that may favor oxidative/inflammatory stress and eNOS dysfunction. The present study investigated the impact of this phenomenon on patients presenting ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)....
