The main objective of the present work was to study ovarian folliculogenesis in Saimiri sciureus. Therefore, we evaluated the expression of intra-ovarian factors related with the follicular development, inhibition and cell proliferation, as well as investigation the effects of pretreatment with vitamin E analogue, Trolox, on the viability and follicular function, apoptosis index, cell proliferation, vascularization and fibrosis after auto-transplanted of fresh ovarian tissue. It was possible for the first time imuno localize proteins expressed as: growth and differentiation factor -9 (GDF -9), c- kit/Kit Ligand and Ki-67 and confirm the expression of anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in different stages of follicular development in squirrel monkey ovary. Regarding pre-incubation with the Trolox antioxidant, it can improves follicular survival after autotransplantation, decrease apoptosis rates in stromal cells, although increase areas of fibrosis after graft. Our results suggest that fresh ovarian tissue can be grafted and incubated without major impact on early follicular growth and morphology after subcutaneous autotransplantation for a short-term. We believe that our results provide an important contribution to understanding the process of folliculogenesis in neotropical monkeys. This knowledge is an important tool to evaluate follicular viability and functionality after cryopreservation of ovarian tissue transplantation and in vitro culture of early follicles, especially for animals at risk of extinction and women that are undergoing to chemotherapy and radiation with risk of loss fertility.

Malaria is a serious public health problem worldwide, causing socioeconomic deficits and contributing to subdevelopment in affected countries. In this context is important to study electronic properties, quinoline derivatives antioxidant potential and antimalarial activity relationship to design effective antimalariais prototypes. In this dissertation are used molecular modeling methods to study antioxidant and antimalarial structure-activity relationships selecting moieties and eletronic and conformacional parameters to improve farmacological activity and decrease derivatives toxicity. The HOMO and PI values analysis indicates that imino-tautomer is, probably, better antioxidant than amino-tautomer. It also observed that tautomers equilibrium is favored to amino-quinoline in the gas phase, and in water and chloroform using PCM method, with energy barriers values to 10.78 Kcal/mol, 21.65 Kcal/mol and 22.04 Kcal/mol, respectively. Then, may be noted that in quinoline analogues derivatives the electron-donor groups decrease the ionization potential, as exemple of the amino group at 8-position replaced by an alkylamine group. In 4- 8- amino-quinoline derivatives association observed that presence of quinoline moiety second nitrogen decrease its antioxidant activity, except in the 5-position, representing the most prominent group in the reduction of ionization potential and probably high antioxidant activity.

This paper aims to describe the uterine and ovarian ultrasonographic characteristics and Doppler velocimetric features of their arteries in bitches during the periovulatory period. Fifteen estrous cycles in 10 animals were evaluated. The ultrasonographic characteristics, resistance indices (RI) and pulsatility indices (PI) of the uterus and ovaries in each animal were recorded 5 days before and after ovulation (D0). The data were statistically analyzed, and the results were expressed as the mean ± standard error of mean (P<0.05). In results the ultrasonographic features of the uterus were the same on all of the cycles and evaluated days. The uterus had an average diameter of 0.85±0.02cm. An increase in the volume of the ovaries and the diameter of the ovarian follicles were measured. Ovaries had a volume of 0.64±0.06cm3, and the follicles cavities had a diameter of 0.46 ± 0.01 cm on the day of ovulation. After ovulation, it was observed that some follicles not collapse in some cycles. Two days prior to ovulation, the uterine blood perfusion decreased. This decrease remained unchanged until ovulation. Following ovulation, we measured a gradual increase in the uterine perfusion and in the ovarian artery. This artery directed blood flow to the ovaries and increased the intra-ovarian perfusion on the day after ovulation. In conclusion, specific features are observed in the uterus and ovarian ultrasound image and Doppler values of their arteries presented on the periovulatory days and when associated allow to estimate more accurately the date of ovulation.
