O apetite da Marmota
Os animais que hibernam, seis ou sete meses, não comem durante esse longo período o que lhes permite atravessar o Inverno como se ele não existisse. É caso das marmotas! A ausência de apetite está programada nas suas células impedindo-os de definhar até à morte. Um grupo de investigadores, coordenado pelo biólogo Greg Florant, universidade do Colorado, EUA, conseguiu induzir a fome nas marmotas obrigando-as a acordar e a comer. Esta investigação poderá abrir caminho a novas investigações sobre a obesidade e distúrbios alimentares nos seres humanos.
O estudo publicado no Journal of Experimental Biology, refere a molécula AICAR, um nutriente existente em todos os seres vivos, activou o circuito neurológico que comanda a ingestão de alimentos e desperta o apetite. A administração desta molécula AICAR levou à alteração da percepção neuronal sobre a energia disponível no organismo e os animais acordaram para comer.
"Descobrimos que, provavelmente, os nutrientes no cérebro, como os ácidos gordos, podem alterar o circuito neuronal que comanda a ingestão de alimento e que, na altura em que os animais estão a hibernar, se encontra inactivo", explicou Greg Florant, citado pela Science Daily.
Numa próxima experiência, os investigadores pretendem testar a hipótese contrária: se em estado de não hibernação podem ser induzidas (pela alteração da percepção neuronal) a não se alimentarem.

Fugir!
As gotículas que deixam a teia de aranha pegajosa têm uma força aderente 100 vezes superior ao que anteriormente se havia calculado! Segundo uma investigação conduzida na universidade americana de Akron, e publicada na Nature Communications, a substância composta de glicoproteínas comporta-se como um composto sólido com propriedades tanto viscosas como elásticas e com uma força muito grande. Esta substância actua de forma diferente conforme a força e a velocidade com que a presa tenta escapar. Se a presa tentar fugir lentamente a teia age como uma borracha muito resistente e que dá tempo para a aranha capturar a presa. Ao contrário, quanto mais intensa é a tentativa de libertação mais fortes se tornam as propriedades adesivas da teia, e deste modo a aranha captura/prende mesmo os animais mais rápidos e fugidios como os insectos voadores!
Hummm!

Ratos e Vacina para o cancro da mama
Vincent Tuohy, do Cleveland Clinic Learner Research Institute , EUA é o responsável pela investigação e desenvolvimento de uma vacina que até a data impediu o desenvolvimento do cancro da mama, em ratos. Serão precisos vários anos até esta vacinar estar disponível ao público.O investigador explicou que a vacina age numa proteína presente na maioria dos tumores da mama. "Acreditamos que esta vacina será usada no futuro para prevenir o cancro da mama em mulheres adultas e se funcionar nos humanos da mesma forma como actuou nos ratos, vai ser monumental".Nesta investigação foram utilizados ratos com grande probabilidade genética de desenvolver cancro da mama. A metade foi administrada uma vacina com a-lactalbumina – que actuou contra o cancro. Os restantes foram vacinados com uma substância que não continha esta proteína. Verificou-se que, ao contrário de todos os outros, nenhum dos ratos.
Estudo publicado na Nature Medicine.
Lets hope you can do it!
