The tick Rhipicephalus microplus is an ectoparasite harmful to livestock, a vector of disease agents that affects meat and milk production. However, resistance to acaricides reflects the need for alternative tick control methods, among which vaccines have gained increasing relevance. In this scenario, monoclonal antibodies can be used to identify and characterize antigens that can be used as vaccine immunogens. Capillary tube artificial feeding of partially engorged R. microplus females with monoclonal antibodies against proteins from the gut of tick were used to test the effects of immunoglobulins in the physiology of the parasite. The results of artificial feeding showed that female ticks over 25mg and under 60 mg in weight performed better in the artificial feeding process, with a 94-168% weight increase after 24h of feeding. Results showed that artificial feeding of ticks proved to be a viable technique to study the effects of antibodies or drugs in the physiology of the parasite. One monoclonal antibody (BrBm2) induced decreased oviposition. Moreover, the antigen recognized by BrBm2 was identified as a 27-kDa protein and immunolabeled on digestive vesicles membranes of digestive cells of partially and fully engorged females. 相似文献

This study investigated the effect of using an artificial bright light on the entrainment of the sleep/wake cycle as well as the reaction times of athletes before the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. A total of 22 athletes from the Brazilian Olympic Swimming Team were evaluated, with the aim of preparing them to compete at a time when they would normally be about to go to bed for the night. During the 8-day acclimatization period, their sleep/wake cycles were assessed by actigraphy, with all the athletes being treated with artificial light therapy for between 30 and 45 min (starting at day 3). In addition, other recommendations to improve sleep hygiene were made to the athletes. In order to assess reaction times, the Psychomotor Vigilance Test was performed before (day 1) and after (day 8) the bright light therapy. As a result of the intervention, the athletes slept later on the third (p = 0.01), seventh (p = 0.01) and eighth (p = 0.01) days after starting bright light therapy. Regarding reaction times, when tested in the morning the athletes showed improved average (p = 0.01) and minimum reaction time (p = 0.03) when comparing day 8 to day 1. When tested in the evening, they showed improved average (p = 0.04), minimum (p = 0.03) and maximum reaction time (p = 0.02) when comparing day 8 to day 1. Light therapy treatment delayed the sleep/wake cycles and improved reaction times of members of the swimming team. The use of bright light therapy was shown to be effective in modulating the sleep/wake cycles of athletes who had to perform in competitions that took place late at night. 相似文献

This study aimed to answer these questions: (i) Can the temporal patterns of locomotor and exploratory activities and anxiety-like behavior be disrupted by a single session of stress? (ii) Can the temporal patterns of corticosterone, melatonin, and glucose be disrupted by a single session of stress and how long does the effect of stress upon their circadian rhythm? Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to restrain stress at four Zeitgeber Times and subdivided according to evaluation times of behavioral (open field test and elevated plus-maze test) and biochemistry (corticosterone, melatonin, and glucose levels in serum) parameters. There were temporal patterns within a course of 24 h in anxiety-like behaviors and glucose levels. Circadian rhythm to corticosterone and melatonin levels was confirmed and a single session of stress can disrupt these temporal patterns. We showed an immediate disruptive effect of stress in biomarkers levels and a delayed appearance of behavioral and locomotion pattern disruption. 相似文献

Taurine bulls are highly susceptible to heat stress, leading to increased oxidative stress (OS) and impaired sperm viability. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) supplementation can be an alternative to improve semen quality, which also results in more sperm susceptibility to lipid peroxidation. Moreover, this deleterious effect can be exacerbated in animals affected by heat stress. Vitamin E is a key antioxidant that counteracts lipid peroxidation of sperm membrane caused by OS. Thus, combining PUFAs with vitamin E may improve sperm quality. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of interaction between PUFAs and vitamin E on sperm quality in Bos taurus bulls under testicular heat stress. Sixteen taurine bulls under testicular heat stress were randomly assigned in four groups: Control, Vitamin E, PUFA, and PUFA?+?Vitamin E. All groups lasted for 60 days. Samples were cryopreserved/thawed and analyzed for motility variables (CASA), membrane and acrosome integrity, mitochondrial activity, susceptibility to oxidative stress, DNA integrity, and sperm-binding capacity. Results showed that vitamin E had a beneficial effect on some sperm characteristics, whereas PUFA supplementation had an adverse effect when the two treatments were evaluated separately. Finally, the association between PUFAs and vitamin E did not improve sperm quality. 相似文献

Bean crops have their productivity limited by biotic factors, as the phytonematodes. Several species have been reported causing damage to the crop, especially those from the Meloidogyne genus. Recently, a new species was reported parasitizing bean plants in Paraná State, Brazil, Meloidogyne inornata. The present work was aimed in order to study the pathosystem bean and M. inornata, through the evaluation of host reaction of 32 bean cultivars to the nematode, the potential damage of this pathogen to the crop, and the biology and parasitism of M. inornata on bean, under different temperatures, comparing with M. incognita. The host reaction was accessed under greenhouse conditions, with an initial population density of 2000 eggs of each nematode species per plant. Fifty days after inoculation, it was found that all tested cultivars were susceptible to M. inornata, however with varying extent. Pathogenicity of M. inornata on bean cv. Tuiuiú was also evaluated under greenhouse conditions, with the following initial population densities: 0 (check); 0.0625; 0.125; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 2; 4; 16; 32; and 64 eggs per cm3 of soil. Tolerance limit obtained to this cultivar was 9.9 nematodes per cm3. In relation to the comparative biology between M. inornata and M. incognita, under growth chamber and three different temperatures, 18, 25 and 32°C, results showed that under 18°C, both species have their life cycles retarded, while under 32°C, the cycle is accelerated. 相似文献

Lithium and valproate (VPA) are the most commonly prescribed mood-stabilizing drugs. Recently, several studies have reported
their neuroprotective properties in several models of neural toxicity and, in some pathological conditions, large amounts
of intracellular ATP can be released from damaged cells. In the present study, we investigate the potential neuroprotective
effect of lithium and VPA against ATP-induced cell death in hippocampal slices of adult rats. Acute (in vitro) and chronic (in vivo) treatment at therapeutic doses with lithium or VPA significantly prevent the ATP-induced cell death. Lithium and VPA also
exerted a synergic effect in the prevention of ATP-induced cell death. Moreover, hippocampal slices prepared from rats chronically
treated with lithium or VPA presented a significant reduction in cell death in the presence of cytotoxic extracellular ATP.
Although further investigations are necessary, our results show the neuroprotective effect of lithium and VPA against neuronal
death induced by extracellular ATP, probably through a different pathway, and suggest novel uses of these drugs in neurogenerative
diseases.
