AMINOACIDI LIBERI NEL TUMORE DI WALKER E NEGLI ORGANI DEL RATTO PORTATORE

1955

The free amino acids content in the Walker tumour and in some organs (liver, lung and skeletal muscle) of the tumour-bearing rats has been chromatograprically determined at different times after the tumour implantation. The contents were very poor in the first stages of the tumour growth but they largely increased with the tumour growth. In the organs of the tumour-bearing rats the aminoacids contents were considerably modified in comparison with the normal animals.

Localization microscopy of DNA in situ using Vybrant(®) DyeCycle™ Violet fluorescent probe: A new approach to study nuclear nanostructure at single m…

2016

Higher order chromatin structure is not only required to compact and spatially arrange long chromatids within a nucleus, but have also important functional roles, including control of gene expression and DNA processing. However, studies of chromatin nanostructures cannot be performed using conventional widefield and confocal microscopy because of the limited optical resolution. Various methods of superresolution microscopy have been described to overcome this difficulty, like structured illumination and single molecule localization microscopy. We report here that the standard DNA dye Vybrant(®) DyeCycle™ Violet can be used to provide single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) images of …

Identificación de polimorfismos de nucleótido simple en centenarios

2016

Resumen Introduccion La longevidad viene determinada por la genetica propia de cada especie y por factores externos, tales como nutricionales, ambientales, sociales, etc. Sin embargo, los individuos mas longevos se caracterizan por presentar una mayor adaptacion al entorno condicionada predominantemente por su propia genetica. Dentro de una misma poblacion con relativa homogeneidad genotipica, podemos encontrar cambios sutiles en la secuencia de ADN que afectan unicamente a un nucleotido. Estos cambios denominados polimorfismos de nucleotido simple ( Single Nucleotide Polimorphisim [SNP]) se encuentran con una prevalencia mayor al 1-5% de la poblacion. Por ello, nos planteamos estudiar en i…

Identificación de polimorfismos de un solo nucleótido relacionados con la fragilidad

2018

Resumen Introduccion La busqueda de biomarcadores que permitan la deteccion y el posible tratamiento precoz de la fragilidad se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos primordiales de la comunidad cientifica geriatrica. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar polimorfismos de un solo nucleotido ([SNP] del ingles single nucleotide polymorphisms) relacionados con la fragilidad. Material y metodos El estudio se llevo a cabo en 152 sujetos de la cohorte del Estudio de Toledo (de 65 a 95 anos de edad), clasificados como fragiles (n = 78), y no fragiles (n = 74), segun los criterios de Fried. Tras la extraccion de sangre se aislo y amplifico el ADN para el analisis de SNP mediante la tecno…

UVER and UV index at high altitude in Northwestern Argentina

2016

Measurements of ultraviolet erythemal radiation (UVER) made during two years at three sites located at altitudes over 1000 m a.s.l. in Northwestern Argentina (Salta, San Carlos, and El Rosal) have been used to estimate and analyze the UV Index (UVI) and the cumulative doses at these locations. For the UVER irradiance, data of January (maximum values) and June (minimum values) have been analyzed as representative of the year for all locations. The UVI reaches extreme (> 11) values in > 20% of the analyzed days in Salta (1190 m a.s.l.), while these are reached in San Carlos (1611 m a.s.l.) and El Rosal (3355 m a.s.l.) in > 40% of the analyzed days. Finally, the cumulative doses over an averag…

Antiviral properties of silver nanoparticles against norovirus surrogates and their efficacy in coated polyhydroxyalkanoates systems

2017

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have strong broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and gained increased attention for the development of AgNP based products, including medical and food applications. Initially, the efficacy of AgNP and silver nitrate (AgNO3) was evaluated for inactivating norovirus surrogates, the feline calicivirus (FCV) and the murine norovirus (MNV). These norovirus surrogates were exposed to AgNO3 and AgNP solutions for 24 h at 25 °C and then analyzed by cell-culture assays. Both AgNP and silver ions significantly decreased FCV and MNV infectivity in a dose-dependent manner between concentrations of 2.1 and 21 mg/L. Furthermore, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (…

Adolescents’ food packaging perceptions. Does gender matter when weight control and health motivations are considered?

2016

Abstract This paper investigates, first, to what extent adolescents highly involved in food are more worried about weight control and health than less involved adolescents. Second, it studies the impact of both food choice motivations on food packaging relevance, considering both, visual and informative packaging cues. Finally, these relationships are re-tested in two different frameworks: men and to this end, 589 adolescent consumers between 14 and 17 years were questioned. The interviews were done personally by an external company at the door of 30 different schools. Our results have confirmed the relevance of packaging informative cues over visual cues for adolescents highly worried abou…
