In the hive it goes through chemical processes and becomes the bee?s bread, of extreme importance for the growth of larvae. Currently, the use of pollen in the human?s cuisine has been increasing for its therapeutic properties, and by its use in the food industry. To produce quality pollen the hive needs to be healthy, and bees, like any other animal, are susceptible to various diseases, parasites and predators, which can affect their development and productivity. The The Brazilian Sac Brood (BSB) is one of these diseases, which in Brazil affects honeybee larvae. In apiaries of Rio de Janeiro state, a high mortality of larvae with symptoms similar to the BSB is occurring, and until now, there is no definite conclusion regarding the etiologic agent of this disease in the state. Therefore, the objectives of this study was to clarify two issues: 1) provide a mycological research, through a study case, of bees? bread samples, adult bees and bees? pollen in areas affected and not affected by the BSB, aiming the elucidation of its etiologic agent, 2) verify the hygienic quality of dehydrated pollen samples sold in Rio de Janeiro state. A total of 48 samples of bees? bread, 15 of adult bees and 12 of pollen were collected from endemic regions of the BSB. The samples were collected in the months before, during and after the period of the disease. The dehydrated pollen samples were also purchased in commercial stores of the state, totaling 27 samples. Fungal species enumeration (cfu g-1) was through decimal dilution method using general culture media and selective ones. The isolation frequency and relative density of species were determined. The toxigenic profile of strains was determined, as also the detection and quantification of aflatoxin B1 in bread and bees? pollen. The results obtained from the study case samples showed that the bees? bread was the best vehicle of contamination for the hive. It was also observed a high fungal counts and the presence of mycotoxins and entomopathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger aggregate and A. fumigatus, which cause a decrease of the immune response, leaving them susceptible to various diseases, including the BSB itself. Pollen dehydrated samples showed a high fungal contamination with 92% of the samples in unsatisfactory hygienic conditions according to legal standards. A total of 25% of the A. flavus strains showed to be aflatoxigenic. The high percentage of unhygienic samples combined with the presence of a large variety of fungal contaminants, including mycotoxin-producing species, evidences that the legislation needs to be updated so that it can be safely commercialized. It is considered that the whole line production of bees? pollen, since its extraction until its storage should be monitored in order to minimize risks to human health. / O p?len ? um produto ap?cola rico em nutrientes essenciais para a alimenta??o das abelhas. Na colmeia ele passa por processos qu?micos e se torna o p?o de abelhas, de extrema import?ncia para o crescimento das larvas. Atualmente, o p?len ap?cola vem se destacando tamb?m na alimenta??o humana, tanto por suas propriedades terap?uticas, quanto pela sua utiliza??o na ind?stria aliment?cia. Para a produ??o de um p?len de qualidade a colmeia precisa estar sadia, e as abelhas, como qualquer outro animal, s?o suscept?veis a v?rias doen?as, parasitas e predadores, que podem prejudicar seu desenvolvimento e produtividade. A Cria Ensacada Brasileira (CEB) ? uma dessas doen?as, que no Brasil acomete larvas de abelhas mel?feras. Em api?rios do estado do Rio de Janeiro v?m ocorrendo uma alta mortalidade de larvas com sintomatologia semelhante a da CEB, e ainda n?o h? uma conclus?o definitiva acerca do agente etiol?gico desta doen?a no estado. Portanto, os objetivos desse estudo visam esclarecer duas problem?ticas: 1) avaliar, atrav?s de estudo de caso, amostras de p?o de abelhas, abelhas adultas e p?len ap?cola em regi?es atingidas e n?o atingidas pela CEB, diagnosticando a presen?a de fungos, visando fornecer informa??es importantes para a elucida??o do agente etiol?gico da CEB no estado do Rio de Janeiro; 2) verificar a qualidade higi?nica das amostras de p?len desidratado comercializado no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Um total de 48 amostras de p?o de abelhas, 15 de abelhas adultas e 12 de p?len ap?cola, foram adquiridas de regi?es end?micas da CEB. As coletas ocorreram nos meses que antecederam, durante e ap?s o per?odo da doen?a. J? as amostras de p?len desidratado foram adquiridas no com?rcio do estado, totalizando 27 amostras. A enumera??o da micobiota (ufc g-1) foi realizada atrav?s do m?todo de dilui??o decimal com semeadura em placas utilizando-se meios de cultivo gerais e seletivos. Foram determinadas a freq??ncia de isolamento dos g?neros f?ngicos e a densidade relativa das esp?cies. Foi determinado o perfil tox?geno de cepas isoladas e foi feita a detec??o e quantifica??o de aflatoxina B1 no p?o de abelhas e p?len ap?cola. Nos resultados obtidos das amostras do estudo de caso, o p?o de abelhas mostrou ser o melhor substrato para o ve?culo de contamina??o para a colmeia. Observou-se tamb?m altas contagens f?ngicas, al?m da presen?a de micotoxinas e fungos entomopatog?nicos, como Aspergillus flavus, A. niger agregados e A. fumigatus o que favorece a queda da imunidade desses insetos deixando-os suscet?veis a diversas doen?as, entre elas a pr?pria CEB. Em rela??o ao p?len desidratado, os resultados mostraram uma alta carga f?ngica com 92% das amostras em condi??es higi?nicas insatisfat?rias segundo os padr?es legais consultados e 25% das cepas de A. flavus mostraram-se potencialmente produtoras de aflatoxinas. Os alt?ssimos percentuais de reprova??o das amostras para a qualidade higi?nica, aliado ? presen?a de grande variedade de fungos contaminantes, incluindo esp?cies produtoras de micotoxinas, ? uma evid?ncia de que a legisla??o necessita ser atualizada, para que este produto possa ser comercializado com seguran?a. Considera-se que toda a linha de produ??o do p?len ap?cola, desde sua coleta at? o armazenamento deva ser monitorada, a fim de minimizar os riscos para a sa?de humana

Thus, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) is selecting and improving varieties of sweet potatoes with higher levels of Beta-carotene, pro-vitamin A. The carotenoids provitamin A amount of in foods does not necessarily correspond the amount that is absorbed and metabolized by the body. For a better determination of these values and knowledge of the mechanisms of its transport and absorption, it is necessary to understand the factors that lead to the food matrix release, until the absorption and the influence on the promotion and maintenance in human health. In order to perform preliminary studies of its absorption, this study aims to determine the efficiency of micellization of Beta -carotene in orange sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, Lam), by applying a in vitro digestion as a tool for determining the bioaccessibility, which is the first step for bioavailability determination. This approach aims to simulate the oral, gastric and intestinal stages of human. The digestion was performed with 10 g of fresh samples, homozeneided with 5% (w/w) of canola oil. The extraction was performed with acetone and petroleum ether and the micellar fraction with petroleum ether, NaCl 10% (w / v) and NaSO4 2% (w/v) and involves the use of enzymes as -amylase , pepsin, bile, pancreatin, lipase and mucin, and inorganic compounds such as KCl, KSCN, NaH2PO4, Na3PO4, NaOH, NaCl, CaCl2, HCl, NaHCO3. The physiological variations are reproduced by the heating bath shaker with orbital gyrus (37?C) and centrifugation (5000g, 45 min). Quantification and determination of the profile of carotenoids were performed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with YCM ? C30 Carotenoid S-3 4.6 x 250mm column. Quantification of total carotenoids was performed by UV-VIs. The whole procedure was performed under controlled temperature (25 ? C) and light. The Beta -carotene was present mainly with levels of 86%, 73% and 82% for access 1, 2 and 3 and after digestion, the profile of Beta -carotene has set levels of 96%, 89% and 100%, respectively. The efficiency of micellization was 23.8%, 28% and 25% for 1.2 and 3 hits, indicating Beta -carotene transfer of the food matrix to micelles, corresponding to bioaccessibility of the compound. This methodology proved to be faster and cheaper, since the in vivo studies are costly, complex and require more time. / O Brasil foi classificado pela Organiza??o Mundial da Sa?de (OMS) como ?rea de car?ncia sub-cl?nica grave de vitamina A. Assim, a Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecu?ria (EMBRAPA) v?m selecionando e melhorando variedades de batata-doce com teores maiores de Beta-caroteno, composto pr?-vitamina A. A quantidade de caroten?ides pr?-vitamina A presentes nos alimentos n?o corresponde necessariamente ?quela quantidade absorvida e metabolizada pelo organismo. Para uma melhor determina??o destes valores e conhecimento dos mecanismos de transporte e absor??o deste composto, faz-se necess?rio, o entendimento dos fatores que levam ? sua libera??o da matriz do alimento, at? a extens?o de sua absor??o, bem como a influ?ncia na promo??o e manuten??o da sa?de humana. A fim de realizar estudos preliminares de sua absor??o, este trabalho visa determinar a efici?ncia de miceliza??o de Beta-caroteno de batata-doce de polpa alaranjada (Ipomoea batatas, Lam.), atrav?s da aplica??o de digest?o in vitro, como ferramenta de determina??o da bioacessibilidade, etapa preliminar para a determina??o da biodisponibilidade. Esta metodologia visa simular as etapas de digest?o oral, g?strica e intestinal humana. Foram pesados 10g de amostra in natura e adicionados 5% (p/p) de ?leo de canola. A extra??o do alimento foi realizada com acetona e ?ter de petr?leo e a da fra??o micelar, com ?ter de petr?leo, NaCl 10%(p/v) e NaSO4 2%(p/v) . Enzimas como: a-amilase, pepsina, bile, pancreatina, lipase e mucina, bem como compostos inorg?nicos, tais como KCl, KSCN, NaH2PO4, Na3PO4, NaOH, NaCl, CaCl2, HCl, NaHCO3. As varia??es fisiol?gicas foram reproduzidas pelo banho de aquecimento com giro orbital (37?C) e centrifuga??o (5000g;45 min). A quantifica??o e determina??o do perfil de caroten?ides foi realizada por cromatografia l?quida de alta efici?ncia (CLAE), com coluna YCM? Carotenoid C30 S-3 de 4,6 x 250mm. A quantifica??o de caroten?ides totais foi realizada por espectrofotometria UV-VIs. Todo o procedimento foi executado sob temperatura (25?C) e luz controlada. O Beta-caroteno estava presente majoritariamente, com teores de 86%, 73% e 82%, para as variedades 1, 2 e 3 e ap?s a digest?o, o perfil do Beta-caroteno passou a configurar teores de 96%, 89% e 100%, respectivamente. A efici?ncia de miceliza??o foi de 23,8%, 28% e 28,9% para as variedades 1,2 e 3, indicando a transfer?ncia do - caroteno da matriz do alimento para as micelas, correspondendo a bioacessibilidade deste composto. Esta metodologia demonstrou-se mais r?pida e mais barata, quando comparada aos estudos in vivo, que s?o mais onerosos, complexos e demandam mais tempo.

Semiweekly collections were carried out over 48 months (96 collections). The traps were suspended at a height of 1.20 m above the ground for a period of 48 hours for each collection. To trap and collect the flies, four plastic traps (35 cm x 15 cm) were placed 100m apart each other in the studied area. The bait used was based on fish (sardine) in decomposition. The insects caught were killed by asphyxiation with 70% ethanol inside the trap. After asphyxiation all specimens were put into plastic pots containing 70% ethanol. The specimens were taken to the Laborat?rio de Transmissores de Leishmanioses (Setor de Entomologia M?dica e Forense) - IOC/FIOCRUZ, RJ, where they were separated by the collection day, counted and then identified using a stereoscopic microscope and the dichotomous keys for families and species. The abundance of Calliphoridae flies was statistically analyzed using the Statistica 7.1 program (StatSoft 2005) for the non-parametric test Kruskal-Wallis one way ANOVA (p< 0.05). Also the Kendall Tau Correlation test, Mann-Whitney (significance of 95%; p<0.05) and chi-square test (?2) were used to analyze. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Bray-Curtis similarity and Euclidean Distance were used. A total of 4,531flies were collected. These flies belonged to ten (10) species of the Calliphoridae family: Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (86.40%), Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann,1819) (5.72%), Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775) (4.94%), Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1818) (2.10%), Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann, 1819) (0.30%), Cochliomyia hominivorax (Cocquerel, 1858) (0.22%), Chloroprocta idioidea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1930) (0.20%), Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius, 1805) (0.04%), Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani, 1850) (0.04%), Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann,1830) (0.04%). The species C. megacephala was the one that presented the greatest abundance. Spring was the preferred season for all species; temperatures between 30.5 and 32.40C and relative humidity between 56.8 and 61.7% were considered those where there was a frenzy of oviposition; the full and new moons were the phases during which there was a higher occurrence of flies; Megaselia scalaris occurred more frequently in the most abundant Calliphoridae species in the same season of the year thus allowing greater dispersion of eggs; Calliphoridae species had a higher rate survival with increased food resources resulting from the polluting activity / Este trabalho foi realizado entre agosto de 2007 e julho de 2011, no Munic?pio de Itabora?, RJ, Brasil, e teve como objetivo identificar as esp?cies de Calliphoridae existentes em uma ?rea de mangue, quantificar as predominantes, destacando as propor??es de machos e f?meas, e tamb?m analisar a influ?ncia de fatores abi?ticos, tais como temperatura, umidade do ar e fases lunares; e ainda relacionar a abund?ncia, a riqueza, a diversidade e a similaridade entre os per?odos de coletas, rela??es ecol?gicas entre as esp?cies da entomofauna da mesma fam?lia e a rela??o ecol?gica entre Calliphoridae e Phoridae parasit?ides dentro da ?rea de Prote??o Ambiental de Guapi-Mirim (APA de Guapi-Mirim), em Itabora?. Durante 48 meses, foram realizadas 96 coletas, uma a cada 15 dias. Em todas as capturas, foram utilizadas armadilhas confeccionadas em recipiente pl?stico com 35 cm de altura e 15 cm de di?metro. Cada uma das quatro armadilhas foi suspensa a uma altura de 1,20 m do solo contendo 100g de isca de peixe (sardinha) em decomposi??o por um per?odo de 48 horas. Ap?s cada captura, todos os esp?cimes foram mortos no interior das armadilhas por asfixia utilizando etanol 70%. Em seguida todos os indiv?duos foram acondicionados em potes pl?sticos, contendo etanol a 70% e encaminhados ao Laborat?rio de Transmissores de Leishmanioses (Setor de Entomologia M?dica e Forense), IOC-FIOCRUZ, RJ, em seguida todos os esp?cimes foram separados por dia de coleta, identificadas e quantificadas. Para tal procedimento utilizou-se um microsc?pio estereosc?pico e chaves dicot?micas para a identifica??o da fam?lia e das esp?cies. As an?lises estat?sticas foram feitas utilizando o programa estat?stico Statistica 7.1 (STATSOFT, 2005), atrav?s do teste de Kruskal- Wallis one way ANOVA, teste de qui- quadrado (?2), Mann-Whitney e correla??o de Kendall Tau (p<0,05). Foram utilizados os ?ndices de diversidade de Shannon-Wiener e similaridade de Bray-Curtis, assim como a Dist?ncia Euclidiana. Foram capturadas 4531 moscas pertencentes a dez (10) esp?cies da fam?lia Calliphoridae: Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (86,40%), Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann,1819) (5,72%), Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775) (4,94%), Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1818) (2,10%), Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann, 1819) (0,30%), Cochliomyia hominivorax (Cocquerel, 1858) (0,22%), Chloroprocta idioidea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1930) (0,20%), Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius, 1805) (0,04%), Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani, 1850) (0,04%), Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann,1830) (0,04%). A esp?cie C. megacephala foi aquela que apresentou a maior abund?ncia, a primavera foi a esta??o do ano em que todas as esp?cies mostraram maior prefer?ncia; as temperaturas compreendidas entre 30,5 e 32,40C e a umidade relativa do ar entre 56,8 e 61,7% foram consideradas aquelas onde houve frenesi de oviposi??o; nas luas cheias e novas houve maior ocorr?ncia de moscas capturadas; Megaselia scalaris se utilizou de esp?cies abundantes nas mesmas esta??es do anos em que ela ocorreu com maior frequ?ncia, possibilitando assim maior dispers?o de ovos; a maior disponibilidade de recursos alimentares resultantes da atividade poluidora tempor?ria ofereceram uma melhor condi??o de sobreviv?ncia para as esp?cies os Calliphoridae.

The project was developed by the city hall of Petrolina-PE in partnership with other institutions, among them, the local schools. It?s because it was understood that the school should strengthen its role in transforming the conduct of cooperative activities with the community and even without the existence of a mandatory subject of environmental education into school curricula. Were interviewed students, parents and teachers who have developed some proposed activities in the Project. Through research it was possible to identify the ecological and social consequences resulting from this initiative, could be mentioned, especially, the increasing awareness of environmental issues involved. Was noted the importance of joint actions to bring citizen participation in social processes that are inevitably involved. The performance of schools through the teachers and students was essential to raise awareness of parents and other community members for realization of the actions. It was very clear that the interest and excitement of the students to participate in any phase of the project resulted in more immediate than the greater integration in the classroom, the urge to realize other environmental actions to improve the Community. The study showed that it is not necessary to be an expert to develop environmental education programs in the area. From this experience, other activities have been proposed and developed by schools, considering environmental issues as a political act that prepares citizens to demand social justice, citizenship and respect in relations with nature / Este estudo teve como finalidade identificar o n?vel de participa??o das comunidades escolares de Caatinguinha, Tapera e Bebedouro no Projeto de Recupera??o da Mata Ciliar no Munic?pio de Petrolina-PE. O Projeto foi desenvolvido pela Prefeitura de Petrolina-PE em parceria com outras institui??es, dentre estas as Escolas locais. Isto porque se entendeu que a escola deve fortalecer sua fun??o transformadora com a realiza??o de atividades cooperativas com a comunidade e mesmo sem a exist?ncia obrigat?ria de uma disciplina de educa??o ambiental no curr?culo escolar. Foram entrevistados alunos, pais e professores que desenvolveram algumas atividades propostas no Projeto. Atrav?s da pesquisa foi poss?vel identificar as consequ?ncias ecol?gicas e sociais decorrentes dessa iniciativa, podendo-se citar, especialmente, o aumento da conscientiza??o dos envolvidos nas quest?es ambientais. Observou-se a import?ncia de a??es conjuntas para provocar a participa??o do cidad?o nos processos sociais em que est? inevitavelmente envolvido. A atua??o das escolas atrav?s dos professores e alunos foi imprescind?vel para a sensibiliza??o dos pais e outros membros das comunidades para a realiza??o das a??es. Ficou muito claro que o interesse e euforia dos alunos em participar de alguma fase do Projeto teve como resultado mais imediato al?m do maior entrosamento em sala de aula, o anseio de realizar outras a??es ambientais para a melhoria da Comunidade. O trabalho mostrou que n?o ? necess?rio ser um especialista em educa??o ambiental para desenvolver a??es na ?rea. A partir dessa experi?ncia outras atividades foram propostas e desenvolvidas pelas Escolas, considerando as quest?es ambientais como um ato pol?tico que prepara o cidad?o para exigir justi?a social, cidadania e respeito nas rela??es com a natureza

(B.) microplus, we evaluated the concentration of lipids and carbohydrates, as well as the variability of lipid in eggs per day of posture. For this, engorged females weighing between 151 and 360 mg were placed in controlled environment (27 ? 1 ? C, 80 ? 5% RH, darkness), and after beginning of laying, three samples of the eggs pool were daily collected, packed and preserved at -20 ? C. Samples 1 and 2, weighing 50 mg each, were used to quantitate lipids and glucose, and to evaluate the lipid profile, respectively; and the third sample, containing 1 g of eggs, was used to quantitate glycogen. The determination of total lipids was performed using phospho-vanillin reagent, while the concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose were obtained by colorimetric determination using endpoint enzymatic kit. The level of glycogen was performed using the acid 3,5 dinitrosalicylic reactive . The results were analyzed by nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and the relationship between the concentrations of substrates and the days of laying was assessed by polynomial regression. There was no significant difference in the concentrations of these substrates in eggs from different days of oviposition, as there was no relationship of these concentrations with the days of laying. After lipid extraction, the samples were performed in thin layer chromatography, high-performance (HPTLC) for neutral lipids and phospholipids. Then, densitometry was performed using the Image Master Total Lab and the daily percentage of each lipid in the samples was calculated. Among the neutral lipids were identified the hydrocarbons, esterified cholesterol, triglycerides, fatty acids, free cholesterol and diacylglycerol. Of these, the cholesterol ester showed the highest variation, it was not detected in eggs at the fifth day of oviposition. Among the phospholipids were detected the phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin fosfatidilinusitol. This latter was absent in eggs of the seventh day onwards. Thus, the different rates of hatchability of eggs from different laying days cannot be attributed to the concentrations of total lipids, although some specific lipids such as cholesterol ester and sphingomyelin might influence the difference in larval hatchability, more researches are needed for clarify the role of these substrates in embryogenesis / Objetivando preencher algumas lacunas sobre os mecanismos intr?nsecos da biologia da oviposi??o de R. (B.) microplus, foram avaliadas as concentra??es de lip?dios e carboidratos, assim como a variabilidade lip?dica dos ovos postos em diferentes dias de postura. Para isso, f?meas ingurgitadas pesando entre 151 e 360 mg foram colocadas em estufa biol?gica sob condi??es controladas (27 ? 1oC, 80 ? 5% UR, escotofase), e ap?s in?cio da postura, tr?s amostras di?rias do ?pool? de ovos foram coletadas, acondicionadas e preservadas a ?20?C. As amostras 1 e 2, pesando 50 mg cada, foram utilizadas para dosar lip?dios e glicose, e avaliar o perfil de lip?dios, respectivamente; a amostra 3, contendo 1 g de ovos foi utilizada para dosar glicog?nio. A dosagem de lip?dios totais foi realizada atrav?s do reagente de fosfo-vanilina, enquanto as concentra??es de colesterol, triglicer?dios e glicose foram obtidas atrav?s de determina??o colorim?trica com a utiliza??o de kit enzim?tico de ponto final. A dosagem de glicog?nio foi realizada atrav?s do reativo ?cido 3,5 dinitrosalic?lico. Os resultados das dosagens foram analisados pelo teste n?o param?trico de Kruskal-Wallis e a rela??o entre as concentra??es dos substratos e os dias de postura foi avaliada atrav?s de Regress?o polinomial. N?o foram constatadas diferen?as significativas entre as concentra??es destes substratos nos ovos de diferentes dias de oviposi??o, assim como n?o houve rela??o dessas concentra??es com os dias de postura. Ap?s extra??o dos lip?dios das amostras, foram realizadas cromatografias em camada delgada de alto desempenho (HPTLC) para lip?dios neutros e fosfolip?dios. Em seguida, a densitometria foi realizada atrav?s do programa Image Master Total Lab e o percentual di?rio de cada lip?dio nas amostras foi calculado. Dentre os lip?dios neutros foram identificados hidrocarbonetos, colesterol esterificado, triglicer?dios, ?cidos graxos, colesterol livre e diacilglicerol. Destes, o colesterol esterificado foi o que apresentou maior varia??o, n?o sendo detectado nos ovos do quinto dia de oviposi??o. Dentre os fosfolip?dios foram detectados o ?cido fosfat?dico, fosfatidiletanolamina, fosfatidilcolina, fosfatidilinusitol e esfingomielina. Sendo este ?ltimo ausente nos ovos do s?timo dia de postura em diante. Assim, as diferentes taxas de eclodibilidade por dia de postura n?o podem ser atribu?das ?s concentra??es de lip?dios totais, embora alguns lip?dios espec?ficos como o colesterol esterificado e a esfingomielina possam ter influ?ncia na diferen?a de eclodibilidade larval, sendo necess?rios mais estudos para eclarecer o papel desses substratos na embriog?nese

The hormonal control of ovulation can be used as a tool to optimize the reproductive parameters and reduce the costs in an ET program. This study compared the effectiveness of lower doses than those traditionally used of Deslorelin and hCG, evaluating the time between ovulation and induction, the recovery rates and embryo attachment. The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Reproduction and Evaluation of UFRRJ. We conducted follow-up of 85 estrous cycles of Breton Postier and Mangalarga Marchador mares, when the mares presenting an ovarian follicle ? 35 mm, they were divided randomly into one of three treatments: G1 (n = 32) - treatment with 1000 IU (1.0 ml iv) of hCG (Chorulon ? - Intervet Schering-Plough Animal Health), G2 (n = 28) - treatment with 0.75 mg (0.75 ml iv) Deslorelin (Botupharma) and G3 (n = 28) - Treatment with 1.0 ml saline iv. Twenty four hours after application, ultrasound evaluation of ovarian was held every six hours up to ovulation. The donors were inseminated the day after induction and embryo collection took place in nine days after ovulation. The recovered embryos were immediately transferred to recipients previously synchronized, these pregnancy diagnosis was performed at 15 and 30 days old embryo. Data regarding the time between ovulation and induction and characteristics of follicular development were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the averages of these data were analyzed when needed by the Tukey test. The data regarding the percentage of mares ovulated in different periods, were analyzed using the Qui-quadrado (?2) 5%. In the case of embryo recovery rate, the data were analyzed using the Fisher exact test, however in relation to pregnancy rate was not possible to perform statistical analysis due to low sample size. The percentage of ovulation in up to 36 hours for G1, G2 and G3 were 34.4%, 13.3% and 8.7%, between 36 and 42 hours were 62.5%, 56.7% and 8.7%, from 42 to 48 hours were 0%, 20% and 13%, more than 48 hours were 3.1%, 10% and 69.6% respectively. Having thus a significant difference between treated and control groups (p <0.05). The embryo recovery rate was 75% (6/8) in G1 and G2, and 44.4% (4/9) in group G3, there was no significant difference between groups (p> 0.05). The rate of pregnancy at fifteen days old embryo was 69.2% (9/13). Thus the lower doses commonly used with inducing agents in question, were effective in promoting ovulation within 48 hours, but the use of these didn't result in significant improvement in the rates of embryo recovery. / A transfer?ncia de embri?es (TE) ? uma das t?cnicas de maior destaque na expans?o da equideocultura, possibilitando a produ??o de maior n?mero de produtos de uma mesma ?gua por ano, aumentando assim o n?mero de animais com alto valor gen?tico. O controle hormonal do momento da ovula??o pode ser usado como uma ferramenta para otimizar os par?metros reprodutivos e reduzir os custos em um programa de TE. O presente estudo comparou a efici?ncia de doses mais baixas do que as tradicionalmente utilizadas de hCG e Deslorelina avaliando o tempo entre a indu??o e a ovula??o, as taxas de recupera??o e fixa??o embrion?ria. O estudo foi desenvolvido no Departamento de Reprodu??o e Avalia??o Animal da UFRRJ. Foi realizado o acompanhamento de 85 ciclos estrais de ?guas da ra?a Bret?o Postier e Mangalarga Marchador, onde as ?guas ao apresentarem um fol?culo ovariano ? 35 mm foram divididas de maneira aleat?ria em um dos tr?s tratamentos: G1 (n = 32) ? tratamento com 1000 UI (1,0 ml i.v.) de hCG (Chorulon? - Intervet Schering-Plough Animal Health), G2 (n = 30) ? tratamento com 0,75 mg (0,75ml i.v.) de Deslorelina (Botupharma) e G3 (n=23) ? tratamento com 1,0 ml i.v. de solu??o salina. Vinte quatro horas ap?s a aplica??o, a avalia??o ultrassonogr?fica dos ov?rios passou a ser realizada a cada seis horas at? a detec??o da ovula??o. As ?guas doadoras foram inseminadas no dia seguinte a indu??o e as coletas de embri?o aconteceram no dia 9 ap?s a ovula??o. Os embri?es recuperados foram imediatamente transferidos para receptoras previamente sincronizadas, sendo o diagn?stico de gesta??o realizado aos 15 e 30 dias de idade embrionaria. Os dados referentes ao tempo entre indu??o e ovula??o e caracter?sticas do desenvolvimento folicular, foram analisados pelo m?todo de An?lise de Vari?ncia (ANOVA), sendo as m?dias desses dados analisadas quando necess?rio pelo teste de Tukey. Os dados referentes ao percentual de ?guas ovuladas em diferentes per?odos, foram analisados atrav?s do Qui-quadrado (?2) 5%. Em se tratando da taxa de recupera??o embrion?ria, os dados foram analisados atrav?s do teste Exato de Fisher, j? em rela??o a taxa de gesta??o n?o foi poss?vel realizar an?lise estat?stica devido ao baixo n?mero amostral. Os percentuais de ovula??o em at? 36 horas nos grupos G1, G2 e G3, foram 34,4 %, 13,3% e 8,7%, entre 36 e 42 horas, 62,5%, 56,7% e 8,7%, entre 42 e 48 horas, 0%, 20% e 13%, acima de 48 horas 3,1%, 10% e 69,6%, respectivamente. Havendo dessa maneira diferen?a significativa entre os grupos tratados e o controle (p < 0,05). A taxa de recupera??o embrion?ria foi de 75% (6/8) nos grupos G1 e G2 e 44,4% (4/9) no grupo G3; n?o houve diferen?a significativa entre os grupos (p > 0,05). J? a taxa de gesta??o aos quinze dias de idade embrion?ria foi de 69,2% (9/13). Deste modo as doses inferiores ?s comumente utilizadas, dos agentes indutores em quest?o, foram eficientes em promover a ovula??o em at? 48 horas, mas o uso destes, n?o resultou em melhora significativa nos ?ndices de recupera??o embrion?ria

The specific objective of this study is to extract and quantify glomalin, glomerospores and humic substances in different sucessional stages of a dry forest. The main objective is to study the activity of AMFs in different stages of a dry forest and to colabore to the projects: ?Functional links between aboveground changes and belowground activity with land use in the Americas: Soil biodiversity and food security? e ?Human, Ecological and Biophysical Dimensions of Tropical Dry Forest?. Total Glomalin (TG) and carbon levels were higher in inicial and late stage of dry forest, indicating the carbon storage contribution to glomalin in soil. In addition, the higher number of glomerospores in this sucessional stage shows the more activity of AMF and its potential to regeneration of disturbed dry forests. The different chemical and physical properties of soil in intermediate stage possibly contributed to low glomalin and carbon levels. The higher levels of humic substances in this stage possibly contribute to the lower activity of AMF and can be explained by the higher diversity of plants in this area. It is important to study the influence of physical and chemical properties, humic substances and plant diversity in AMF activity, in different sucessional stages of dry forests. / Este trabalho contribui para o entendimento da rela??o da regenera??o de florestas tropicais secas, com a atividade dos fungos micorr?zicos arbusculares (FMAs). Tem como objetivos espec?ficos: a extra??o e a quantifica??o de glomalina, de glomerosporos e de subst?ncias h?micas em diferentes sucess?es de floresta seca. O objetivo ? avaliar a atividade dos FMAs em diferentes est?gios sucessionais de floresta seca, acrescentando e colaborando assim para o desenvolvimento dos projetos: ?Functional links between aboveground changes and belowground activity with land use in the Americas: Soil biodiversity and food security? e ?Human, Ecological and Biophysical Dimensions of Tropical Dry Forest?. Os teores de glomalina total e de carbono org?nico foram maiores na ?rea de sucess?o inicial e tardia de floresta seca, indicando maior influ?ncia do estoque de carbono na glomalina do solo. O maior n?mero de esporos e glomalina, na ?rea de sucess?o inicial, mostrou a maior atividade dos fungos micorr?zicos arbusculares em ?rea perturbada que est? se regenerando, sugerindo a contribui??o dos FMAs para essa recupera??o do ecossistema de florestas secas. As propriedades f?sicas e qu?micas diferentes do solo na ?rea de sucess?o intermedi?ria provavelmente contribu?ram para a baixa concentra??o de glomalina e carbono. Os maiores teores de ?cidos h?micos e f?lvicos no solo de sucess?o intermedi?ria podem ter contribu?do tamb?m para a baixa atividade dos FMAs e podem ser devidos ? maior diversidade de esp?cies vegetais nesta ?rea. ? importante desenvolver estudos que comparem as propriedades qu?micas e f?sicas do solo com a atividade desses microorganismos simbiontes em diferentes sucess?es vegetais; que analisem a influ?ncia das subst?ncias h?micas na atividade dos FMAs em campo; e da influ?ncia da diversidade de esp?cies vegetais na atividade dos FMAs.
