Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress promotes the increase of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9 activities in the feto-placental unit of diabetic rats
María Carolina Pustovrh,Alicia Jawerbaum,Evangelina Capobianco,Verónica White,Nora Martínez,Juan José López-Costa,Elida González +6 more
TL;DR: Changes in the oxidative balance and capability of oxidants to upregulate MMPs activity in the feto-placental unit from diabetic rats are demonstrated, a basis to elucidate links between oxidative stress and alterations in the developmental pathways in which M MPs are involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leptin modulates nitric oxide production and lipid metabolism in human placenta.
Verónica White,Elida González,Evangelina Capobianco,Carolina Pustovrh,Nora Martínez,Romina Higa,Mario Baier,Alicia Jawerbaum +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that leptin affects NO production and lipid catabolism in human placenta, providing supportive evidence for a role of leptin in placental functions that would determine the transfer of nutrients to the developing fetus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular Dysfunction in Mother and Offspring During Preeclampsia: Contributions from Latin-American Countries
Fernanda R. Giachini,Carlos Galaviz-Hernández,Alicia E. Damiano,Alicia E. Damiano,Marta Viana,Angela P. Cadavid,Patricia Asturizaga,Enrique Teran,Sonia Clapés,Martín Alcalá,Julio Cesar Bueno,Maria Calderon-Dominguez,María P. Ramos,Victor V. Lima,Martha Sosa-Macías,Nora Martínez,James M. Roberts,Carlos Escudero +17 more
TL;DR: There is a lack both in the amount and impact of research conducted in Latin America on vascular disorders related to problems during pregnancy, and the need for increased effective regional and international collaboration to generate new data specific to this region is related.
Journal ArticleDOI
PPARα agonists regulate lipid metabolism and nitric oxide production and prevent placental overgrowth in term placentas from diabetic rats.
Nora Martínez,Melisa Lidia Amelia Kurtz,Evangelina Capobianco,Romina Higa,Verónica White,Alicia Jawerbaum +5 more
TL;DR: PPARα activators regulate lipid metabolism and NO production in term placentas from diabetic rats, an activation that regulates placental growth and can partly be exerted by the developing fetus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the nuclear receptor PPARα regulates lipid metabolism in foetal liver from diabetic rats: implications in diabetes-induced foetal overgrowth.
Nora Martínez,Verónica White,Melisa Lidia Amelia Kurtz,Romina Higa,Evangelina Capobianco,Alicia Jawerbaum +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that maternal diabetes impairs foetal lipid metabolism and growth, and whether PPARα activation regulates lipid metabolism in the foetals liver from diabetic rats as well asfoetal weight and foetAL liver weight.
