Child feedings in less developed countries: induced breast feeding in a transitional society
(Pediatric Nutrition. Infant Feeding- Deficiencies - Diseases. F. Lifshitz, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York (1982) p. 35-53, 1982)
Breast feeding is the best promoter of growth and health of infants in traditional
and transitional societies. Supplementation with semisolid and solid foods is
generally required after 3-6 months in most developing ...
First crotoxin-like phospholipase A2 complex from a New World non-rattlesnake species: Nigroviriditoxin, from the arboreal Neotropical snake Bothriechis nigroviridis
(Toxicon vol 93:144–154, 2015-01)
Bothriechis nigroviridis is an arboreal Neotropical pitviper found in Costa Rica and Panam a. A previous
proteomic profiling of its venom revealed the presence of proteins with homology to the A and B subunits
of ...
Pathological changes induced by BaH1, a hemorrhagic proteinase isolated from Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) snake venom, on mouse capillary blood vessels
(1994-08)
The pathological changes induced in capillaries by BaH1, a hemorrhagic metalloproteinase isolated from the venom of Bothrops asper, were studied after i.m. injection in mouse gastrocnemius. Hemorrhage was observed ...
El ambiente biológico y el estado nutricional
El ambiente biológico y el estado nutricional
(Análisis de la situación alimentania-nutricional en Costa Rica. Secretaría de la Política Nacional de Alimentación y Nutrición. L. Sánz, editor. p.113-129, 1981., 1981)
Los estados de buena o mala nutrición -y sus grados intermedios- son el resultado de la interacción del huésped (el hombre) con su ambiente. Se entiende por ambiente todo aquello que rodea al ser humano y que es capaz de ...
Tamaño de la porción de algunos alimentos y preparación para preescolares y adultos de una comunidad rural y una comunidad urbana del Valle Central de Costa Rica
(1992)
Con el incremento dentro del pais de enfermedades que incluyen en
su etimología factores dieteticos, ha aumentado el interes por
estudiar el papel de la dieta en estas enfermedades, mediante la
investigacion ...
Hepatic metabolites and uric excretion in fructose -1,6- diphosphatase deficiency
(1988)
There have been a small number of patients reported with inherited disorders of
gluconeogenesis. We studied a female patient with fructose-1,6-diphosphatase
(FDPase; EC 3.1.3.11) deficiency (McKusick 22970), born of ...
Calcium imaging of muscle cells treated with snake myotoxins reveals toxin synergism and presence of acceptors
(2009-04-17)
Snake myotoxins have a great impact on human health worldwide. Most of them adopt a phospholipase A2 fold and occur in two forms which often co-exist in the same venom: the Asp49 toxins hydrolyse phospholipids, whilst Lys49 ...
Poor regenerative outcome after skeletal muscle necrosis induced by Bothrops asper venom: alterations in microvasculature and nerves
(PLoS ONE 6(5): e19834, 2011-05-24)
Background: Viperid snakebite envenoming is characterized by prominent local tissue damage, including muscle necrosis. A frequent outcome of such local pathology is deficient skeletal muscle regeneration, which causes ...
Phospholipases a2 from Viperidae snakes: Differences in membranotropic activity between enzymatically active toxin and its inactive isoforms
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes vol 1848: 463–468, 2015-02)
We describe the interaction of various phospholipases A2 (PLA2) from snake venoms of the family Viperidae
(Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Vipera ursinii renardi, Bothrops asper) with giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)
composed ...
