TL;DR: It is proposed that the immigration of six million Europeans to Brazil in the 19th and 20th centuries is in large part responsible for dissipating previous ancestry dissimilarities that reflected region-specific population histories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased in situ expression of interleukin-10 receptor is correlated with the exacerbated inflammatory and cytotoxic responses observed in mucosal leishmaniasis.
Daniela R. Faria,Kenneth J. Gollob,José Barbosa,José Barbosa,Albert Schriefer,Paulo Roberto Lima Machado,Hélio A. Lessa,Lucas P. Carvalho,Marco Aurélio Romano-Silva,Amélia Ribeiro de Jesus,Edgar M. Carvalho,Walderez O. Dutra +11 more
TL;DR: The data identified distinct cytokine and cell population profiles for CL versus ML patients and provide a possible mechanism for the development of ML disease through the demonstration that low expression of IL-10 receptor is present in conjunction with a cytotoxic and inflammatory profile in ML.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in chronic institutionalized patients with schizophrenia
Helton José Reis,Rodrigo Nicolato,Izabela Guimarães Barbosa,Paulo Henrique Teixeira do Prado,Marco Aurélio Romano-Silva,Antônio Lúcio Teixeira +5 more
TL;DR: Serum BNDF levels were significantly increased in schizophrenic patients when compared to control subjects, and Interestingly, serum BDNF correlated positively with the clinical scores at the negative subscale of the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine D2 Receptor Activity Modulates Akt Signaling and Alters GABAergic Neuron Development and Motor Behavior in Zebrafish Larvae
TL;DR: A zebrafish model is used to assess the direct impact of altered dopamine signaling on brain development and larval motor behavior and suggests that D2 receptor signaling suppresses Akt-GSK3b activity, which regulates GABAergic neuron development and motor behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased serum levels of CCL11/eotaxin in schizophrenia.
Antônio Lúcio Teixeira,Helton José Reis,Rodrigo Nicolato,Gustavo E. A. Brito-Melo,Humberto Correa,Mauro M. Teixeira,Marco Aurélio Romano-Silva +6 more
TL;DR: Higher serum levels of CCL11 in schizophrenia reinforce the view that this disease may be associated with a Th1/Th2 imbalance with a shift toward a Th2 immune response.
