Expressão dos protooncogenes C-FOS, C-MYC e C-JUN em miométrio normal e mioma humanos
(2006) [Journal article]Objetivo: Comparar a expressão gênica (mRNA) e protéica dos protooncogenes c-fos, c-myc e c-jun em miométrio normal e mioma humanos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo do tipo caso-controle. O material foi coletado de 12 ... -
Expressão gênica das células do cumulus oophorus de bovinos após vitrificação
(2010) [Journal article]Um dos desafios da criobiologia continua sendo o desenvolvimento de um método que proporcione a manutenção da viabilidade após a criopreservação de oócitos imaturos na espécie bovina. A vitrificação tem sido a metodologia ... -
Expression of an osmotin-like protein from Solanum nigrum confers drought tolerance in transgenic soybean
(2014) [Journal article]Background: Drought is by far the most important environmental factor contributing to yield losses in crops, including soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. To address this problem, a gene that encodes an osmotin-like protein ... -
Expression of matrix metalloproteinases in patients with bipolar disorder
(2013) [Journal article]Objective: High cardiovascular mortality rates have been reported in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Studies indicate that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated the ... -
Expression of mdr isoforms in mice during estrous cycle and under hormone stimulation
(2006) [Journal article]The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is associated with the expression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), coded by the multigenic mdr family. Mice present the isoforms mdr1 and mdr3, which are responsible for multidrug resistance, ... -
Expression of the bacterial recA gene impairs genetic recombination and sporulation in a Saccharomyces cerevisae diploid strain
(2003) [Journal article]The Escherichia coli RecA protein (RecAp) has been demonstrated to induce mutagenesis in yeast cells, although there is still little information on the role of the RecAp in yeast recombination events. We evaluated spontaneous ... -
Expression of the disease on female carriers of X-linked lysosomal disorders : a brief review
(2010) [Journal article]Most lysosomal diseases (LD) are inherited as autosomal recessive traits, but two important conditions have X-linked inheritance: Fabry disease and Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II). These two diseases show a very different ... -
Expression profiles of meiotic genes in male vs. female gonads and gametes : insights into fertility issues
(2023) [Journal article]Gametes are specialized cells that, at fertilization, give rise to a totipotent zygote capable of generating an entire organism. Female and male germ cells undergo meiosis to produce mature gametes; however, sex-specific ... -
