Perfluorooctanoic acid is a bioacumulative antrhopogenic pollutant, resistant to environmental degradation, which has been used for many years on the industry. Several reports point the toxic effects of PFOA at different biological levels, including the diminish of fertility and sperm count, until homeostasis alteration of Ca2+i in neurons. In sperm...
CB1 receptors (also known as cannabinoid 1 receptors) are part of the endocannabinoid system (ESC) and participate in different physiological functions; they are abundant in the Central Nervous System and are mainly located in neuronal cells, where they regulate the synaptic functions at the presynaptic levels. Among these functions, CB1...
Malathion is one of the most commonly used insecticides, recent findings have demonstrated that it induces oxidative stress in somatic cells, but there are not enough studies demonstrating this effect in germ cells. Malathion impairs porcine oocyte viability and maturation, but studies have not shown how oxidative stress affects maturation...
Los metales del grupo del platino están conformados por el conjunto de elementos químicos rutenio, rodio, paladio, osmio, iridio y desde luego, platino. Éstos poseen unas propiedades físicas y químicas que permiten distinguirlos de los demás metales de transición. Como resultado de esas características, en la actualidad se está desarrollando...
The use of enzymes in industrial biotechnological processes becomes increasingly important as new and better products are required to meet highly demanding needs and markets. Different industries such as bakeries, breweries, detergents, wines and fruit juices are developing new enzymatic technologies, as enzymatically hydrolyzed starch arises from the need to...
En búsqueda de nuevos conocimientos acerca de metabolitos producidos por los hongos y su relación con la actividad antioxidante, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la actividad antioxidante de micelio, primordio y cuerpo fructífero del hongo Pleurotus ostreatus desarrollados en paja de trigo. Se evaluó el contenido de polifenoles...
La inmunización con péptidos neurales modificados (IPNM) así como la remoción de cicatriz y la matriz de fibrina impregnada con células troncales mesenquimales (CTM) por separado han demostrado que inducen una mejora funcional y morfológica después de una lesión de médula espinal (LME). En esta tesis se evaluó el efecto...
