Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled 1,8-cineole reduces inflammatory parameters in airways of ovalbumin-challenged Guinea pigs.
Vasco P.D. Bastos,Antoniella S. Gomes,Francisco J.B. Lima,Teresinha S. Brito,Pedro Marcos Gomes Soares,João Paulo Melo de Pinho,Claudijane S. Silva,Armênio Aguiar dos Santos,Marcellus H.L.P. Souza,Pedro Jorge Caldas Magalhães +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that inhaled 1,8-cineole prevents hyperresponsiveness and inhibits inflammation in airways of ovalbumin-challenged guinea pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antinociceptive and antispasmodic effects of the essential oil of Ocimum micranthum: potential anti-inflammatory properties.
João Paulo Melo de Pinho,Andressa Santa Bríggido Silva,Bruno G. Pinheiro,Igor Sombra,Joaquim de Carvalho Bayma,Saad Lahlou,Pergentino José da Cunha Sousa,Pedro Jorge Caldas Magalhães +7 more
TL;DR: Inhaled as aerosol, EOOM prevented tracheal hyperresponsiveness to KCl or CCh in ovalbumin-sensitized animals after antigen challenge and exerts peripheral analgesia in nociception of inflammatory origin and has antispasmodic actions on rat airways under an inflammatory environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effect of 1,8-cineole on guinea-pig airway challenged with ovalbumin involves a preferential action on electromechanical coupling.
Vasco P.D. Bastos,Teresinha S. Brito,Francisco J.B. Lima,João Paulo Melo de Pinho,Saad Lahlou,Francisco José de Abreu Matos,Armênio Aguiar dos Santos,Pedro Jorge Caldas Magalhães +7 more
TL;DR: The findings of the present study show that 1,8‐cineole is a tracheal myorelaxant that acts preferentially on contractile responses elicited electromechanically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Talking about bioelectrical potentials using rings of the mesenteric artery without glass micropipettes
Helder Veras Ribeiro-Filho,Teresinha S. Brito,Francisco J.B. Lima,João Paulo Melo de Pinho,Daniel Freire de Sousa,Moisés Tolentino Bento da Silva,R. J. B. de Siqueira,F. Cosker,Vasco Pinheiro Diógenes Bastos,Armênio Aguiar dos Santos,Pedro Jorge Caldas Magalhães +10 more
TL;DR: An experimental approach is proposed to demonstrate the relationship between the equilibrium potential for K(+) and transmembrane electrical potential without glass micropipettes and it is demonstrated that the activity is able to improve students' comprehension regarding basic principles of bioelectricity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of passive inhalation of cigarette smoke on structural and functional parameters in the respiratory system of guinea pigs.
Thiago Brasileiro de Vasconcelos,Fernanda Yvelize Ramos de Araújo,João Paulo Melo de Pinho,Pedro Marcos Gomes Soares,Vasco Pinheiro Diógenes Bastos +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of passive inhalation of cigarette smoke on the respiratory system of guinea pigs were evaluated by quantifying mesenteric mast cell degranulation, as well as oxidative stress in BAL fluid.
