| water extracts of brassica oleracea var. costata potentiate paraquat toxicity to rat hepatocytes in vitro. | tronchuda cabbage extracts have been proven to have antioxidant potential against various oxidative species in cell free systems, though its antioxidant potential in cellular models remained to be demonstrated. in the present study, we used primary cultures of rat hepatocytes for the cellular assay system and paraquat pq exposure as a pro-oxidant model agent, to test whether tronchuda cabbage hydrolysed water extracts provide protective or aggravating effects towards pq-induced oxidative stress ... | 2009 | 19486935 |

| obstetrical events that shaped western european history. | taking into account that marriage, the family as a social unit, and concepts of legitimacy developed to ensure the devolution of property and that, when these concepts apply in a society based on hierarchically organized monarchies, they also involve the devolution of power, this essay furnishes examples of dislocations in such devolutions, in terms of familiar incidents in western european history. that jane seymour died in childbirth but her son edward vi survived long enough to ensure the sta ... | 2010 | 1285448 |
| serum selenium concentrations in chronic pancreatitis and controls. | in the light of the recent hypothesis that one cause of pancreatic damage may be related to the toxic action of oxygen free radicals [braganza jm. the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. manchester: manchester university press; 1991; braganza jm. a framework for the aetiogenesis of chronic pancreatitis. digestion 1998;59(suppl. 4):1-12], we were prompted to assess the role of selenium in pancreatic disease. | 2005 | 15975540 |
| 'not knowing something is normally a milestone on the way to knowledge'. an interview with joan m. braganza, dsc, frcp, frcpath, reader emeritus, university of manchester, uk. | dr. joan braganza, a world expert in the field of chronic pancreatitis, proposed a new template for its pathogenesis based on the role of free radical pathology, in particular the heightened but unmitigated oxidative detoxification reactions via cytochromes p450. dr. braganza has gone on to show how pancreatic damage in cystic fibrosis, acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer fit into the scheme, paving the way for new treatment modalities. in this interview, dr. braganza shares her life experi ... | 2009 | 19887883 |
| the liturgical cope of d. teotónio of braganza: material characterization of a 16th century pluviale. | a 16th century liturgical cope belonging to d. teotónio of braganza (collection of the museum of évora, me 172/1) was selected for a material study. the cope is made of a variety of materials that include two different types of metal threads, dyed silk yarns, and vegetable yarns used in the weft. several samples from different points representing the different metal thread types and colored silk yarns were collected. stereomicroscopy (optical microscopy) and scanning electron microscopy were use ... | 2015 | 25389801 |
| mitragomphus ganzanus needham, 1944, a geographically misplaced dragonfly, is a junior synonym of gomphidia kirschii selys, 1878 (odonata: gomphidae). | based on comparison of specimens and descriptions, mitragomphus ganzanus needham, 1944, described from braganza [bragança], pará state, brazil, and known only from the holotype, is found to be a junior synonym of gomphidia kirschii selys, 1878, a species from the philippines. the monotypic genus mitragomphus needham, 1944, is synonymized with the genus gomphidia selys, 1854. | 2015 | 25661612 |
| frailty, body composition and nutritional status in non-institutionalised elderly. | frailty is a clinical syndrome characterized, among other signs, by involuntary weight loss and decreased muscle strength. the aim of this study was to analyse associations between frailty, body composition and nutritional status in non-institutionalised elderly people in the municipality of alfândega (braganza-portugal). | 2017 | 28760658 |

| compression of lipid membranes as observed at varying membrane positions. | we have measured the microscopic isothermal compressibility of dioleoyl- and dimyristyl-phosphatidylcholine multilayers and bilayers as a function of membrane depth by the pressure dependence of the polarization of a series of anthroyloxy fatty acids. in both systems, within experimental error, the compressibility did not change with membrane depth. the magnitudes of the compressibilities matched those of organic solids and those reported for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine multilayers from neutr ... | 1991 | 1912276 |

| metabolic and bioactivity insights into brassica oleracea var. acephala. | seeds of brassica oleracea var. acephala (kale) were analyzed by hplc/uv-pad/msn-esi. several phenolic acids and flavonol derivatives were identified. the seeds of this b. oleracea variety exhibited more flavonol derivatives than those of tronchuda cabbage (brassica oleracea var. costata), also characterized in this paper. quercetin and isorhamnetin derivatives were found only in kale seeds. oxalic, aconitic, citric, pyruvic, malic, quinic, shikimic, and fumaric acids were the organic acids pres ... | 2009 | 19722523 |
| phenolics metabolism in insects: pieris brassicae-brassica oleracea var. costata ecological duo. | changes in the phenolics composition of pieris brassicae larvae fasted for distinct periods (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h) and their excrements and of brassica oleracea l. var. costata dc leaves were determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography/uv-photo diode array detector/mass spectrometry-electrospray ionization. this is the first report following phenolics' metabolism by p. brassicae through time. the results evidence that p. brassicae sequesters and metabolizes the phenolic compounds from the h ... | 2009 | 19764727 |
| in vitro cultures of brassica oleracea l. var. costata dc: potential plant bioreactor for antioxidant phenolic compounds. | in this work were studied the phenolic composition of in vitro material (shoots, calli, and roots) of brassica oleracea var. costata and its antioxidant capacity. samples were obtained in different culture medium, with distinct supplementations to verify their influence on those parameters. phenolic determination was achieved by hplc-dad. antioxidant activity was assessed against dpph. in calli and roots no phenolic compound was identified. in shoots was verified the presence of 36 compounds, wh ... | 2009 | 19192972 |
