Labeling the oily core of nanocapsules and lipid-core nanocapsules with a triglyceride conjugated to a fluorescent dye as a strategy to particle tracking in biological studies
(2014) [Journal article]The synthesis of novel fluorescent materials represents a very important step to obtain labeled nanoformulations in order to evaluate their biological behavior. The strategy of conjugating a fluorescent dye with triacylglycerol ... -
Lack of association between genetic polymorphisms in IGF1 and IGFBP3 with twin births in a Brazilian population (Cândido Godói, Rio Grande do Sul)
(2018) [Journal article]Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) is an important peptide hormone involved in the reproduction and fetal development of mammals, and it is suggested that it may influence the human twinning rate. This study aimed to test ... -
Lack of support for the association between facial shape and agression : a reappraisal based on a worldwide population genetics perspective
(2013) [Journal article]Antisocial and criminal behaviors are multifactorial traits whose interpretation relies on multiple disciplines. Since these interpretations may have social, moral and legal implications, a constant review of the evidence ... -

Land cover and conservation state of a region in the southern limit of the Atlantic Forest (River Maquiné Basin, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)
(2004) [Journal article]O estado de conservação da Mata Atlântica na bacia do rio Maquiné foi avaliado com base em dados de uso do solo. As categorias de uso do solo foram identificadas a partir de uma imagem do satélite Landsat TM 5, de outubro ... -
Landscape and climatic features drive genetic differentiation processes in a South American coastal plant
(2021) [Journal article]Background: Historical and ecological processes shape patterns of genetic diversity in plant species. Colonization to new environments and geographical landscape features determine, amongst other factors, genetic diversity ... -

Land use explains the distribution of threatened new world amphibians better than climate
(2013) [Journal article]Background: We evaluated the direct and indirect influence of climate, land use, phylogenetic structure, species richness and endemism on the distribution of New World threatened amphibians. Methodology/Principal Findings: ... -
Larvicidal effect of dried leaf extracts from Pinus caribaea against Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (Diptera : Culicidae)
(2009) [Journal article]Neste trabalho foi avaliada pela primeira vez a atividade larvicida contra Aedes aegypti de extratos obtido a partir de folhas secas de Pinus caribae. Os extratos de Pinus caribaea foram obtidos a partir da maceração de ... -
L-Asparagine crystals with wide gap semiconductor features : optical absorption measurements and density functional theory computations
(2014) [Journal article]Results of optical absorption measurements are presented together with calculated structural, electronic, and optical properties for the anhydrous monoclinic L-asparagine crystal. Density functional theory (DFT) within the ... -

Late hyaluronidase injection in local anesthesia : morphofunctional evaluation in rat sciatic nerve block
(2019) [Journal article]Introduction: Despite the enhancing effects of hyaluronidase (HYAL) over duration of anesthesia, this enzyme could cause adverse effects when injected concomitantly with local anesthetics in dental blocks. Objective: This ... -
Leaf anatomy of Araucaria angustifolia(Bertol.) Kuntze (Araucariaceae)
(2003) [Journal article]Immature and mature leaves of juvenile and adult plants of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) were observed with the objective of updating the morphoanatomical data of the leaves of this species, which were restricted ... -
Lean mass and associated factors in women with PCOS with different phenotypes
(2023) [Journal article]Although current evidence suggests increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and meta- bolic alterations in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially of a hyperan- drogenic phenotype, the impact of ... -
LEI0258 microsatellite variability and its relationship to B-F haplotypes in Brazilian (blue-egg Caipira) chickens
(2005) [Journal article]A total of 149 chickens from two different sources (one non-commercial, the other commercial) was tested for variability of the LEI0258 microsatellite. Fifty- three genotypes, explainable by 15 alleles, were found. There ... -
Leprosy in southern Brazil : a twenty-year epidemiological profile

Leptin and adiponectin in the female life course
(2011) [Journal article]Adipose tissue secretes a variety of adipokines, including leptin and adiponectin, which are involved in endocrine processes regulating glucose and fatty metabolism, energy expenditure, inflammatory response, immunity, ... -
Leptin receptor co-expression gene network moderates the effect of early life adversity on eating behavior in children
(2022) [Journal article]Leptin influences eating behavior. Exposure to early adversity is associated with eating behaviour disorders and metabolic syndrome, but the role of the leptin receptor on this relationship is poorly explored. We investigated ... -
