Expanding integrative cytogenetic and molecular analyses is essential for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of chromosome number variation in fishes. This study presents the first cytogenetic characterization of Hypostomus sertanejo , an endemic species native to the semi-arid Jaguaribe River basin in Northeastern Brazil. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a diploid number of 2n = 52, which is the lowest documented for the ge...
The supply of metabolizable nutrients to suckling beef calves on pasture can improve their performance, increasing weaning weight and productivity in cow–calf systems. The objective was to evaluate the effects of dried distillers grains (DDG) inclusion on intake, digestibility, metabolism, and performance of suckling beef calves grazing tropical pastures. Forty-eight Nellore calves, 120 ± 35 days of age and 135 ± 23.4 kg of bo...
Creatine monohydrate modulates testicular morphology and SOD1/NFκB-p65 immunoexpression in streptozotocin-induced diabetic ratsNARA Subscribed
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia that may impair testicular function, including spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis. Creatine, an endogenously synthesized nitrogenous compound and one of the main reservoirs in the testes, is widely used, particularly among men. However, evidence regarding its effects on male reproductive health, especially under DM, remains limite...
The ferruginous duricrust ( canga ) in the Iron Quadrangle (IQ), Minas Gerais, Brazil, occurs within the Campo Rupestre and presents remarkable levels of endemism and species richness. Despite the recognized importance of microorganisms for the maintenance of this ecosystem, current molecular-based studies reveal that both the taxonomic composition and the ecological functions of the canga microbiome are undiscovered. In this...
Rifampicin Polymeric Nanoparticles for Tuberculosis: Molecular Dynamics, Physicochemical Characterization and CytotoxicityNARA Subscribed
Tuberculosis infected 10.8 million people worldwide in 2023, resulting in 1.09 million deaths. Rifampicin (RIF) is one of the main drugs used in the treatment, but its low solubility and side effects, such as hepatotoxicity, limit its therapeutic efficacy. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNs) emerge as a promising strategy to optimize RIF delivery. This study aimed to develop RIF-PNs guided by molecular dynamics (MD), perform their p...
