Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of biomarkers used for monitoring human exposure to lead: advantages, limitations, and future needs
TL;DR: Traditional analytical protocols in current use are presented, and the influence of confounding variables on BPb levels are assessed and the significance of Pb determinations in human specimens including hair, nails, saliva, bone, blood, urine, feces, and exfoliated teeth are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metalloproteinase inhibition ameliorates hypertension and prevents vascular dysfunction and remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats.
Michele M. Castro,Elen Rizzi,Lívia Figueiredo-Lopes,Karla Fernandes,Lusiane M. Bendhack,Dimitrius Leonardo Pitol,Raquel F. Gerlach,Jose E. Tanus-Santos +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that MMP-2 plays a role in 2K-1C hypertension and its structural and functional vascular changes, which were attenuated by doxycycline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant treatment reduces matrix metalloproteinase-2-induced vascular changes in renovascular hypertension.
Michele M. Castro,Elen Rizzi,Gerson J. Rodrigues,Carla S. Ceron,Lusiane M. Bendhack,Raquel F. Gerlach,Jose E. Tanus-Santos +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that antioxidant approaches decrease MMP-2 upregulation and attenuate the vascular dysfunction and remodeling during 2K-1C hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating Interleukin‐6 and High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein Decrease After Periodontal Therapy in Otherwise Healthy Subjects
Andrea M. Marcaccini,Cesar A. Meschiari,Carlos Arterio Sorgi,Maria da Conceição Pereira Saraiva,Ana Maria de Souza,Lúcia Helena Faccioli,Jose E. Tanus-Santos,Arthur B. Novaes,Raquel F. Gerlach +8 more
TL;DR: In apparently otherwise healthy patients,periodontal disease is associated with increased circulating concentrations of IL-6 and hs-CRP, which decreased 3 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gingival crevicular fluid levels of MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-2, and MPO decrease after periodontal therapy.
Andrea M. Marcaccini,Cesar A. Meschiari,Leonardo Raphael Zuardi,Tiago Sampaio de Sousa,Mário Taba,Juliana Mazzonetto Teófilo,Anna L.B. Jacob-Ferreira,Jose E. Tanus-Santos,Arthur B. Novaes,Raquel F. Gerlach +9 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of M MP-8, TIMP-2, MPO, and 87 kDa MMP-9 were found in the GCF of patients compared with controls, and these markers decreased 3 months after periodontal therapy.
