Resveratrol is an anti-inflammatory compound found in several foods. Periodontal disease (PD) is associated to other systemic diseases, and inflammation may be responsible for the association. Consequently, controlling inflammation not only may benefit oral health but also may assist with the management of other chronic inflammatory conditions. We aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol administration on PD control in preclinical studies. A systematic search was performed for scientific articles using both electronic databases and a manual search using combinations of the following keywords: “resveratrol” OR “3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene” AND “periodontal disease” OR “periodontitis” OR “gingivitis”. Only in vivo original studies investigating resveratrol treatment on experimental animal models of PD were selected. A quality assessment of the studies was performed using the Animal Research Reporting In Vivo Experiment (ARRIVE) guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Syrcle tool. The search returned 570 articles, and 11 matched the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis showed that resveratrol treatment attenuated alveolar bone loss (τ2 = 0.0041; 95% CI: −0.14; −0.04). The ARRIVE criteria reported a good quality of studies in general (mean score 28.5 ± 2.5). However, five Syrcle domains indicated a high risk of bias or did not present information clearly. We concluded that, in preclinical studies, resveratrol treatment prevented PD progression.
A estacionalidade dos acasalamentos, na maioria das espécies, é dependente da duração da gestação. Nos eqüinos, com gestação próxima a um ano, a cobertura e o nascimento dos potros acontecem na primavera e no verão, período do ano que oferece melhores condições ambientais para a sobrevivência da espécie (disponibilidade de alimentos, temperatura, luminosidade, etc.). O início da gestação em qualquer espécie, e em particular na eqüina, é marcado por vários acontecimentos. Durante esse período o útero e os ovários da égua, assim como o embrião, passam por várias modificações, adaptando-se à nova condição. Entre essas modificações cita-se a alteração dos níveis séricos de progestágenos e estrógenos. A acupuntura é um dos métodos mais antigos de tratamento médico. A prática da acupuntura veterinária é provavelmente tão antiga quanto a humana. Na verdade, o campo da acupuntura veterinária começou com o tratamento de cavalos, por causa de sua importância numa economia baseada em guerras e agricultura. A estimulação por agulhas em certos pontos, como o Bai Hui e VG2, estão
Seminal plasma serves as a vehicle for ejaculated spermatozoa consisting of a mixture of secretions from the male accessory glands and testis. Has an important physiological significance as a carrier of the male gametes to the female genital tract, giving conditions for enabling the fertilization process. It had been found that the content of seminal plasma may influence male fertility. Studies indicate that the ability of sperm to bind to heparin and other glycosaminoglycans is correlated with semen quality and fertility. The proteins with binding site for heparin in seminal plasma influence on fertility. Seminal plasma protects spermatozoa seems to be phagocytosed.
ResumoO cavalo atleta é um corredor nato e o cavalo de esporte atual apresenta resultados impressionantes e cada vez mais poderá melhorar a sua performance atlética recebendo métodos de treinamento, alimentação e suplementação adequados em cada fase de sua carreira O bom rendimento dos equinos atletas nas competições é uma das principais fontes de renda para os proprietários. Sabe-se que o exercício físico intenso realizado durante treinamentos ou competições gera em humanos e animais variações em diversos parâmetros fisiológicos. O efeito do exercício induzido, produzido pela aplicação de treinamentos durante um período de tempo determinado, sobre a composição e área fibrilar é variável.
In this work, the influence of the addition of Tifton-85 hay supplement to the corn grain mix and commercial pellet was assessed in terms of the digestive behavior exhibited by the dairy calves. The Latin square 4 x 4 duplicate and simultaneous design was adopted in this experiment, in which the treatments included four levels of the hay supplement Tifton-85 (0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 %) with respect to body weight, in the corn grain mix and commercial pellet, over four experimental periods, with two repetitions (eight animals). The effect of the hay levels (P < 0.05) was evident in the time taken by the animals for feeding (TFE), rumination (TRU), and total chewing time (TCT), however, the time spent in leisure (TO) remained unaffected (P > 0.05). The variables, chew time per bolus (CT/bolus), and number of chews per bolus (NC/bolus) showed no differences among the treatments (P > 0.05), however, the number of chews per day (NC/day), and number of ruminal boluses (NRB) revealed significant variations (P < 0.05). Among the treatments, the effects on feed efficiency (EFDM) and rumination (ERUDM) of dry matter (P < 0.05) were evident, but the rumination efficiency of the neutral detergent fiber (ERUNDF), and rumination rate (RR) were not affected (P > 0.05). The supplementary levels of hay added to the diet increased the rumination and chewing times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
