Exploring the biofilm inhibitory potential of Candida sp. UFSJ7A glycolipid on siliconized latex catheters.

Biosurfactants, sustainable alternatives to petrochemical surfactants, are gaining attention for their potential in medical applications. This study focuses on producing, purifying, and characterizing a glycolipid biosurfactant from Candida sp. UFSJ7A, particularly for its application in biofilm prevention on siliconized latex catheter surfaces.

The Antimicrobial Applications of Nanoparticles in Veterinary Medicine: A Comprehensive Review.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are nanoscaled particles sized from 1-100 nm, which can be composed of inorganic or organic compounds. NPs have distinctive morphology, size, structure, and surface features, which give them specific properties. These particular attributes make them interesting for biological and medical applications.

Eccentric Overload Muscle Damage is Attenuated By a Novel Angiotensin- (1-7) Treatment.

The development of new strategies to attenuate exercise-induced muscle damage may be helpful for training regimens. The aim of this study was to determine whether a oral formulation of angiotensin Ang-(1-7)[HPβCD/Ang-(1-7)] is effective to reduce pain, and muscle damage markers after eccentric-overload exercise. HPβCD (Placebo) and HPβCD/Ang-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7) group were treated for 7 days (one capsule/day).

Proteomic white adipose tissue analysis of obese mice fed with a high-fat diet and treated with oral angiotensin-(1-7).

Angiotensin-(1-7) has been described as a new potential therapeutic tool for the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders by regulating several pathways in visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT). The aim of this study was to access the proteins differentially regulated by Ang-(1-7) using proteomic analysis of visceral adipose tissue. Male mice were divided into three groups and fed for 60 days, with each group receiving one of the following diets: standard diet+HPβCD (ST), high fat diet+HPβCD (HFD) and high fat diet+Ang-(1-7)/HPβCD (HFD+Ang-(1-7)).
