Videla Cabrera, Luis; Fernández, Virginia (1995)The influence of thyroid hormone administration on liver glutathione (GSH) extraction in the isolated perfused liver was studied in fed rats for a period of 1–7 days following a single dose of 0.1 mg 3,5,3′‐triiodothyronine ...

Fernández, Virginia; Reyes, Solange; Bravo, Sergio; Sepúlveda, Rodrigo; Romanque, Pamela; Santander, Gonzalo; Castillo, Iván; Varela, Patricia; Tapia, Gladys; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2007)Thyroid hormone-induced calorigenesis triggers liver oxidative stress with concomitant TNF-α production by Kupffer cells and up-regulation of gene expression. Considering that cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (CDK-2) performs ...

Fernández, Virginia; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2009)Thyroid hormone (L-3,3′,5-triiodothyronine, T3) is important for the normal function of most tissues, with major actions on O2 consumption and metabolic rate. In the liver, these are due to (i) transcriptional activation ...

Gaggero Brillouet, Aldo; Avendano, Octavio; Fernández, Virginia; Spencer, Nicolás (1992)We studied the transmission of rotavirus (RV) in 950 patients under 2 years of age hospitalized for diarrhea in Santiago, Chile. Stool samples were collected every other day from all patients during their entire hospital ...

Calderón, Frances H.; Bonnefont, Andrea; Muñoz, Francisco J.; Fernández, Virginia; Videla Cabrera, Luis; Inestrosa, Nibaldo C. (1999)This work addresses the differential effects of several oxidative insults on two neuronal cell lines, PC12 and Neuro 2a cells, extensively used as neuronal models in vitro. We measured cellular damage using the cytotoxic ...

Fernández, Virginia; Castillo, Iván; Tapia, Gladys; Romanque, Pamela; Uribe-Echevarría, Sebastián; Uribe, Mario; Cartier Ugarte, Denise; Santander, Gonzalo; Vial, María T.; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2007)Recently, we reported that oxidative stress due to 3,3′,5- triiodothyronine (T3)-induced calorigenesis up-regulates the hepatic expression of mediators promoting cell protection. In this study, T3 administration in rats ...

Fernández, Virginia; Tapia, Gladys; Varela, Patricia; Cornejo, Pamela; Videla Cabrera, Luis (2009)3,3,5-L-Triiodothyronine (T 3) exerts significant protection against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) liver injury in rats. Considering that the underlying mechanisms are unknown, the aim of this study was to assess the involvement ...

Muñoz, Francisco J.; Opazo, Carlos; Gil-Gómez, Gabriel; Tapia, Gladys; Fernández, Virginia; Valverde, Miguel A.; Inestrosa, Nibaldo C. (2002)Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) fibril deposition on cerebral vessels produces cerebral amyloid angiopathy that appears in the majority of Alzheimer's disease patients. An early onset of a cerebral amyloid angiopathy variant called ...
