Senna splendida (Vogel) H.S.Irwin & Barneby (Leguminosae) is a ethnomedicinal species native to Brazil, popularly known in the country as “fedegoso-grande and “feijão-brabo”, it is used against kidney diseases, bronchitis, rheumatism, anemia and inflammations. A pharmacobotanical study of the aerial vegetative organs of S. splendida was carried out, looking for morphoanatomical data that can contribute to the taxonomy and quality control of its ethno-drugs. Paradermic sections of both epidermal surfaces and cross sections of the leaf and stem were made freehand. Histochemical tests were also performed to indicate the types of plant metabolites.

Their most important physiological property is dual regulation through membrane voltage and intracellular Ca 2+ . 1 The complexity of this channel function mirrors the complexity of its protein structure. The amino acid sequence includes the integral membrane pore shared by all K + channels, the integral membrane voltage sensor domains present in voltage-dependent channels, and a cytoplasmic domain (CTD) consisting of approximately 800 amino acids per subunit, which accounts for the C-terminal two thirds of the entire channel. The CTD structure confers upon the BK channel its ability to respond to changes in intracellular Ca 2+ . 2-5 It is also the source of functional heterogeneity through alternate splicing, polymorphisms, phosphorylation, and protein interactions, which modulate BK channel activity. 5-8 These channels modulate several physiological events, like blood pressure, smooth muscle relaxation or electrical tuning of hair cells in the cochlea and have a leading role in many pathophysiological conditions such as epilepsy, ischemic stroke, cognitive disorders, and the behavioral response to alcohol, to give only a few examples. 9, 10 Studies involving activation and inactivation with pharmacological and genetic tools, including global, and tissue-specific knockouts, have implicated Maxi-K channels in cardiac function, neuroprotection, and cardio-protection from ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, in addition to IR-induced inflammation and mucosal barrier disruption in the small intestine. 11 It is also known that Maxi-K channels function as neuronal calcium sensors and contribute to the control of cellular excitability and the regulation of neurotransmitter release. 9 Numerous Maxi-K channel blockers and activators are used to identify these channels and study their functions.

Obesity is a metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of fat in the body that poses a risk to the individual's health. In adipose tissue, changes occur in the profile of immune cell. The relationship between obesity and metabolic diseases makes the inflammatory pathways an important therapeutic target for study. Baccharis trimera Less (DC) is used by the population for weight loss and some studies point to a possible anti-obesogenic effect. The aim was to evaluate the effect of Baccharis trimera essential oil (EOBT) in obese mice of the C57BL/6J lineage that consumed a high-fat diet. Male C57BL/J6 mice were subjected to obesity induction through the ingestion of a high-fat diet FOR 12 weeks and were orally treated with EOBT at doses of 1, 10 or 100 mg/kg for 14 days. As a result, it was observed that after 12 weeks with the high-fat diet, the mice showed changes in body mass, adiposity index, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and changes in anti-inflammatory mediators, when compared to animals treated with the standard diet. The results indicate that the C57BL/6J mouse","PeriodicalId":136053,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MOL2NET'21, Conference on Molecular, Biomedical & Computational Sciences and Engineering, 7th ed.","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124267698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
