Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the antioxidants curcumin and vitamin C on cisplatin-induced clastogenesis in Wistar rat bone marrow cells
Lusânia Maria Greggi Antunes,Maria Cristina Picinato Medeiros de Araújo,Joana D'Arc Castania Darin,Maria de Lourdes Pires Bianchi +3 more
TL;DR: Under the present experimental conditions, CMN could prevent cisplatin-induced clastogenesis by acting as a free radical scavenger and the combination between antioxidants would not be effective in protecting against cisplatin-induced chromosomal damage in animals sacrificed 24 h after cisPlatin treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of anthropogenic and biogenic compounds on atmospheric aerosol collected in urban, biomass burning and forest areas in São Paulo, Brazil.
Pérola de Castro Vasconcellos,Davi Z. Souza,Odón R. Sánchez-Ccoyllo,José Oscar V. Bustillos,Helena Lee,Fernando César Almada Santos,Katia Halter Nascimento,Maria Cristina Picinato Medeiros de Araújo,Karri Saarnio,Kimmo Teinilä,Risto Hillamo +10 more
TL;DR: Pristane and phytane confirm the contamination by petroleum residues at urban sites; at the MAT site, biological activity and long range transport of pollutants might influence the levels of pristane, and the site influenced by biomass burning seems to be the most impacted by the organic anion abundance in the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentiation by turmeric and curcumin of gamma-radiation-induced chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
TL;DR: The results clearly indicate the exacerbated effect of turmeric and curcumin on radiation-induced clastogenicity, suggesting that these antioxidants are also potentiating agents depending on the experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of the atmospheric chemical composition of three South American cities
Pérola de Castro Vasconcellos,Davi Z. Souza,Simone Garcia de Ávila,Maria Cristina Picinato Medeiros de Araújo,Edson Naoto,Katia Halter Nascimento,Fernando S. Cavalcante,Marina Dos Santos,Patricia Smichowski,Eduardo Behrentz +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of metals, metalloids, ion and organic compounds of most PM10 samples collected at three sites (Buenos Aires (BAI), Bogota (BOG) and Sao Paulo (SPA)) is below the air quality standard of the respective countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutagenic and cytotoxic activity of an isocoumarin (paepalantine) isolated from Paepalanthus vellozioides
Eliana Aparecida Varanda,Maria Stella Gonçalves Raddi,Francisca de Luz Dias,Maria Cristina Picinato Medeiros de Araújo,Maria Cristina Picinato Medeiros de Araújo,Solange Cardoso Alvares Gibran,Catarina Satie Takahashi,Wagner Vilegas +7 more
TL;DR: Alterations to the paepalantine structure are suggested to reduce its mutagenic and cytotoxic activity in investigations for its antineoplastic potential.
