Journal ArticleDOI
Photosensitized Membrane Permeabilization Requires Contact-Dependent Reactions between Photosensitizer and Lipids.
Isabel O. L. Bacellar,Isabel O. L. Bacellar,Maria Cecilia Oliveira,Lucas S. Dantas,Elierge B. Costa,Helena Couto Junqueira,Waleska Kerllen Martins,Andrés M. Durantini,Gonzalo Cosa,Paolo Di Mascio,Mark Wainwright,Ronei Miotto,Rodrigo M. Cordeiro,Sayuri Miyamoto,Mauricio S. Baptista +14 more
TL;DR: Processes depending on direct contact between photosensitizers and lipids were revealed to be essential for the progress of lipid oxidation and consequently for aldehyde formation, providing a molecular-level explanation of why membrane binding correlates so well with the cell-killing efficiency of photosenitizers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations in lipid metabolism of spinal cord linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Adriano B. Chaves-Filho,Isabella Fernanda Dantas Pinto,Lucas S. Dantas,André Machado Xavier,Alex Inague,Rodrigo Lucas Faria,Marisa Helena Gennari de Medeiros,Isaias Glezer,Marcos Yukio Yoshinaga,Sayuri Miyamoto +9 more
TL;DR: A hypothetical model based on neuroprotection of polyunsaturated fatty acids into lipid droplets in response to increased oxidative stress is postulated, suggesting abnormal mitochondria in motor neurons and lipid droplet accumulation in aberrant astrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of coconut water (Cocus nucifera L.) and caffeic acid in cell culture.
João L. A. Santos,Vanderson S. Bispo,Adriano de Britto Chaves Filho,Isabella Fernanda Dantas Pinto,Lucas S. Dantas,Daiane F. Vasconcelos,Fabíula F. Abreu,Danilo A. Melo,Isaac A. Matos,Florencio Porto Freitas,Osmar F. Gomes,Marisa Helena Gennari de Medeiros,Humberto R. Matos +12 more
TL;DR: The green dwarf water was efficient in protecting against oxidative damages induced by hydrogen peroxide, highlighting the antioxidant properties of the green dwarf which it is the most common used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Antiglycation, Hypoglycemic, and Nephroprotective Activities of the Green Dwarf Variety Coconut Water (Cocos nucifera L.) in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats.
Isabella Fernanda Dantas Pinto,Railmara Pereira da Silva,Adriano de Britto Chaves Filho,Lucas S. Dantas,Vanderson S. Bispo,Isaac A. Matos,Felipe A M Otsuka,Aline C Santos,Humberto R. Matos +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that CW has multiple beneficial effects in diabetic rats for preventing hyperglycemia and oxidative stress caused by alloxan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of the DNA damages, Hepatoprotective Effect and Antioxidant Potential of the Coconut Water, ascorbic and Caffeic Acids in Oxidative Stress Mediated by Ethanol.
Vanderson S. Bispo,Lucas S. Dantas,Adriano de Britto Chaves Filho,Isabella Fernanda Dantas Pinto,Railmara Pereira da Silva,Felipe A M Otsuka,Rodrigo B. Santos,Aline C Santos,Danielle de Jesus Trindade,Humberto R. Matos +9 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the green dwarf coconut water, caffeic and ascorbic acids have antioxidant, hepatoprotective and reduced DNA damage properties, thus decreasing the oxidative stress induced by ethanol metabolism.
