    • Administration of High Doses of Copper to Capuchin Monkeys Does Not Cause Liver Damage but Induces ... 
      Araya, Magdalena; Núñez, Héctor; Pavez, Leonardo; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel Armando; Méndez, Marco; Cisternas, Felipe; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Sierralta, Walter; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; González Canales, Mauricio (American Society for Nutrition, 2012)
      Liver cells respond to copper loading upregulating protective mechanisms. However, to date, except for liver content, there are no good indicators that identify individuals with excess liver copper. We hypothesized that ...
    • Identification of a minimal microsatellite marker panel for the fingerprinting of peach and nectarine cultivars 
      Méndez, Marco; Rojas, Gabriela; Muñoz, Carlos; Lemus, Gamalier; Hinrichsen, Patricio (UNIV CATOLICA DE VALPARAISO, 2008-12)
      The genetic characterization of 117 peach and nectarine cultivars (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) using microsatellite (SSR) markers is presented. Analyzed genotypes include the complete list of cultivars under intellectual ...
    • Present situation of biomarkers for copper status 1-3 
      Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Méndez, Marco; Astudillo, Pablo; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando (The American Society for Nutrition, 2008)
      Serum or plasma copper and ceruloplasmin concentrations are the most widely used laboratory indicators to evaluate copper status. Both indicators are decreased in moderate or severe copper deficiency. The activity of ...
    • Sex and ceruloplasmin modulate the response to copper exposure in healthy individuals 
      Méndez, Marco; Araya, Magdalena; Ordóñez Pizarro, Fernando; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; González Canales, Mauricio (US DEPT HEALTH HUMAN SCIENCES PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCE, NATL INST HEALTH, NATL INST ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES, 2004-12)
      Previous studies indicated that sex might influence the response to copper exposure. Cenaloplasmin (Cp) is an indicator of Cu status, but it is not clear whether and how it reflects changes of Cu status among healthy ...
    • Spermatozoon ultrastructure in seven South American species of Tegula Lesson, 1835 (Mollusca: Vetigastropoda) ... 
      Collado, Gonzalo A.; Espoz, Carmen; Méndez, Marco; Brown, Donald I. (INT SCIENCE SERVICES/BALABAN PUBLISHERS, 2008-12)
      This study presents results of the examination of the ultrastructure of the spermatozoon of seven South American species of Tegula using light and transmission electron microscopy. In all cases the spermatozoa were of ...
    • Supplementing Copper at the Upper Level of the Adult Dietary Recommended Intake Induces Detectable but ... 
      Araya, Magdalena; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Méndez, Marco; González Canales, Mauricio; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo (The Journal of Nutrition, 2005-10)
      The health consequences of mild copper excess in humans are unknown. In a previous study, 2 mo of supplementation with up to 6 mg Cu/L in drinking water did not induce detectable changes. Here we assessed a copper ...
    • Understanding copper homeostasis in humans and copper effects on health 
      Araya, Magdalena; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; González Canales, Mauricio; Méndez, Marco (2006)
