Maya Arango, Juan; Orellana, Myriam; Ferreira, Jorge; Kemmerling Weis, Ulrike; López Muñoz, Rodrigo; Morello Casté, Antonio (Society of Biology of Chile, 2010)There are approximately 7.8 million people in Latin America, including Chile, who suffer from Chagas disease and another 28 million who are at risk of contracting it. Chagas is caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma ...

Araya, Julia; Rodrigo Salinas, Ramón; Videla Cabrera, Luis; Thielemann, Lilian; Orellana, Myriam; Pettinelli, Paulina; Poniachik Teller, Jaime (2004)Hepatic steatosis is a major feature associated with NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). The aims of the present study were to assess the levels of PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) in liver total lipids, ...

Orellana, Myriam; Varela, Nelson; Guajardo, Viviana; Araya, Julia; Rodrigo Salinas, Ramón (2002)Cytochrome P450-dependent oxidation of lauric acid, p-nitrophenol and ethanol by liver microsomal fractions were studied in control rats and in animals given either ethanol, red wine, or alcohol-free red wine for 10 weeks. ...

GIL,; ORELLANA, MYRIAM; VASQUEZ, MYRIAM; SILVA, MARCELA (1988)The oxidation products of testosterone formed by liver microsomes from normal‐fed and protein‐energy malnourished male rats have been analysed by HPLC. Microsomes from normal‐fed rats oxidized testosterone at a rate of ...

Fernández Arancibia, Virginia; Tapia Opazo, Gladys; Varela, Patricia; Castillo, Iván; Mora, Catalina; Moya, Francisco; Orellana, Myriam; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2005)Recently, we demonstrated that 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) induces oxidative stress in rat liver, with enhancement in the DNA binding of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and the NF-kappaB-dependent expression of tumor ...

Varela, Nelson M.; Quiñones, Luis A.; Orellana, Myriam; Poniachik Teller, Jaime; Csendes Juhasz, Attila; Smok Sahid, Gladys; Rodrigo Salinas, Ramón; Cáceres, Dante D.; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2008)CYP2E1 enzyme is related to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) due to its ability for reactive oxygen species production, which can be influenced by polymorphisms in the gene. The aim of this study was to investigate ...
