Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of ammonia stress in the Amazon river shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae)
Marcelo R. Pinto,Malson N. Lucena,Rogério Oliveira Faleiros,Eduardo Alves de Almeida,John Campbell McNamara,Francisco A. Leone +5 more
TL;DR: Findings likely underpin physiological effects in a crustacean like M. amazonicum that exploits multiple ecosystems during its life cycle, as well as under culture conditions that may significantly impact shrimp production by the aquaculture industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and functional characterization of proinflammatory acidic phospholipase A2 from Bothrops leucurus snake venom.
Débora Cristina de Oliveira Nunes,Renata Santos Rodrigues,Malson N. Lucena,Camila Takeno Cologna,Ana Carolina S. Oliveira,Amélia Hamaguchi,Maria Inês Homsi-Brandeburgo,Eliane Candiani Arantes,David N.S. Teixeira,Carlos Ueira-Vieira,Veridiana M. Rodrigues +10 more
TL;DR: The enzyme was able to induce increments in IL-12p40, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels and no variation of IL-8 andIL-10 in human PBMC stimulated in vitro, suggesting that Bl-PLA(2) induces proinflammatory cytokine production by human mononuclear cells.
Book ChapterDOI
Gill Ion Transport ATPases and Ammonia Excretion in Aquatic Crustaceans
Francisco A. Leone,Malson N. Lucena,Daniela P. Garçon,Marcelo R. Pinto,John Campbell McNamara +4 more
TL;DR: The effects of polyamines on (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity and phosphoenzyme formation are analyzed to provide insights into the biochemical bases of physiological homeostasis in crustaceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gill-specific (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity and α-subunit mRNA expression during low-salinity acclimation of the ornate blue crab Callinectes ornatus (Decapoda, Brachyura).
Francisco A. Leone,Daniela P. Garçon,Malson N. Lucena,Rogério Oliveira Faleiros,Sergio V. Azevedo,Marcelo R. Pinto,John Campbell McNamara +6 more
TL;DR: An increase in α-subunit mRNA expression may underpin the increased (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity seen after 10 days acclimation to low salinity, and gills 6 and 7 appear to perform similar functions in salt uptake from the dilute medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemolymph ion regulation and kinetic characteristics of the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase in the hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus (Decapoda, Anomura) acclimated to high salinity
Malson N. Lucena,Daniela P. Garçon,Fernando L. Mantelatto,Marcelo R. Pinto,John Campbell McNamara,Francisco A. Leone +5 more
TL;DR: Examination of hemolymph ion regulation and the kinetic properties of a gill microsomal (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase from the intertidal hermit crab acclimated to 45‰ salinity for 10 days shows that ATP affinity decreases 110-fold and Na(+) and K(+) affinities increase 2-3-fold in45‰-acclimated crabs.
