P. Crespo Moreira,F. J. Sousa,Patrícia Matos,Gonçalo Brites,Maria José Gonçalves,Carlos Cavaleiro,Artur Figueirinha,Lígia Salgueiro,Maria Teresa Batista,Pedro Branco,Maria Teresa Cruz,Cláudia Fragão Pereira +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the protection against skin damage provided by the essential oil (EO) obtained from hydrodistillation of Eucalyptus globulus leaves, and by an extract obtained from the hydrodristillation residual water (HRW).
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium-Dependent Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity in Rat Thymocytes
TL;DR: The immunolabeling study revealed that 15% of the thymocytes isolated from rat thymus constitutively expressed the endothelial isoform of NO synthase, which was dependent on Ca2+ and cofactors to form L-[3H]citrulline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Otanthus maritimus (L.) Hoffmanns. & Link as a source of a bioactive and fragrant oil
Célia Cabral,Carlos Cavaleiro,Maria José Gonçalves,Maria Teresa Cruz,Maria do Carmo Lopes,Lígia Salgueiro +5 more
TL;DR: The oil revealed significant antifungal activity against dermatophyte strains and significantly inhibited NO production stimulated by LPS in macrophages, without affecting cell viability, adding significant information to the pharmacological activity of O. maritimus essential oils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Coffee Caffeine and Chlorogenic Acids Adsorption to Polysaccharides with Impact on Brew Immunomodulation Effects
Cláudia P. Passos,Rita Costa,Sónia S. Ferreira,Guido R. Lopes,Maria Teresa Cruz,Manuel A. Coimbra +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an ultrafiltration separation process was applied, studying the behavior of coffee brews' HMW on retention of low molecular weight (LMW) compounds, suggesting their retention.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sensitizers nickel sulfate and 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene increase CD40 and IL-12 receptor expression in a fetal skin dendritic cell line.
Ana Luísa Vital,Margarida Gonçalo,Maria Teresa Cruz,Américo Figueiredo,Carlos B. Duarte,Maria do Carmo Lopes +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the sensitizers DNFB and NiSO4 are directly involved on the changes of the surface markers CD40 and IL-12R in skin DCs, during the sensitization phase of CHS, and this effect may be enhanced by GM-CSF.
