Stress, either physical or psychological, is associate to changes in the hormonal profile. From the classical fight-or-flight reaction to subtle dominance relationships in groups, changes in specific sets of hormones are found. In searching for cause-effects relationships, one tries to establish both how the variations in hormones might have a role in the short-term orchestrated organisma…
Evolutionary physiology integrates comparative physiology, ecology, evolution and systematics, aiming to understand how the evolution of physiological characters occur. Given its integrative nature, evolutionary physiology has a leading role in the discussion about the nature of animal adaptation, and has influenced significantly recent research tendencies in comparative physiology. Howev…

The sea anemones venom is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including peptide toxins which are tools for studying the structure and function of voltage-dependent channels K+ (KV). In this work, four neurotoxins were purified from the venom of the sea anemones Actinia bermudenesis and Bunodosoma caissarum. AbeTx1 and BcsTx4 have a structural motif similar to that of kappa-toxins and fu…
Sea anemones venom are a rich source of bioactive compounds, including peptide toxins which are tools for studying the structure and function of voltage-gated K+ channels (KV). During the first year of my MSc project (FAPESP 2009/07128-7), we performed a peptidomic analysis of the venom of the sea anemone Actinia bermudensis and characterized the activity of the peptide Abe III 1.3 throug…
