Cardiorespiratory Performance and Acute Effect of High-intensity Exercise on Lipid Profile in Hypertensive Sedentary Older Adults with and without Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to verify if the association of hypertension and diabetes mellitus could lead to the differences on cardiorespiratory fitness and lipid profile in older adults.

Methods: 40 older adults were divided into two groups: Hypertensive (HTN) and Hypertensive-diabetic (HTN + T2DM). Maximum exercise test on a treadmill was conducted.

Anacardium occidentale bark lectin: purification, immobilization as an affinity model and influence in the uptake of technetium-99M by rat adipocytes.

Lectins, proteins that recognize carbohydrates, have been immobilized on inert supports and used in the screening or purification of glycoproteins. Anacardium occidentale bark infusion has been used as a hypoglycemic agent in Brazil. The toxicity of natural products may be evaluated determining their capability to alter the biodistribution of technetium-99M ((99m)Tc).
