Optimization of the acid treatment of yacon for the inactivation of polyphenoloxidase with maintenance of the functional properties by Nara Menezes Vieira (4831122)

“…The treatment selected by the experimental design (2.4% of citric acid for 540 seconds) resulted in a 15% loss of the FOS contents. However, the final product presented 6.84 g FOS/100 g, higher than the minimum amount required by the relevant legislation (2.5 g FOS/portion of product) for a food to claim a functional property, making the technological process proposed in the present work feasible.…”

Data_Sheet_1_Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Production in Activated Macrophages Caused by Toxoplasma gondii Infection Occurs by Distinct Mechanisms in Different Mouse Macrophage Cell L... by Gabriel R. de Abreu Cabral (5644649)

“…In contrast, T. gondii infection of RAW 264.7 macrophages did not alter iNOS expression or the number of iNOS positive cells, and yet it led to lower levels of NO production. Deletion of a number of previously defined virulence factors including ROP kinases that disrupt innate immune factors, TgIST which blocks STAT1 activation, as well as the secretory trafficking proteins ASP5 and MYR1, did not alter the phenotype of decreased NO production. …”
