CHOLESTEROL ATTENUATES CYTOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE AGAINST BILE SALTS

Abstract Bile salts have potent detergent properties and damaging effects on cell membranes, leading to liver injury.However, the molecular mechanisms for the protection of hepatocytes against bile salts are not fully understood.In this study, we demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of nine human major bile salts to HepG2 cells and primary human hepa

Braconidae is a highly diversified family of Hymenoptera and Canopies usually known by their role in biological control both in agricultural and natural ecosystems.Despite of that, little is known about its diversity in the Amazon region.The present work inventoried the braconid fauna of an Open Ombrophylous Forest with Palm Trees of the Parque Nat
