“…We evaluated the methodological quality of included studies by AMSTAR2 tool and by individually evaluating the heterogeneity, sample power, and statistical significances from meta-analyses.ResultsWe included 44 meta-analyses, encompassing 35,432 CKD patients in pre-dialysis and dialysis stages (peritoneal and hemodialysis). Data from meta-analyses with highly suggestive or strong evidence grading suggests that aerobic and combined training were most effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness (main effect: 2.1, 95% CI: 0.8–3.4, and main effect: 3.4; 95% CI: 2.4–4.6, respectively). …”

Bothrops asper snake venom and its metalloproteinase BaP–1 activate the complement system. Role in leucocyte recruitment by Sandra H. P. Farsky, Luís Roberto C. Gonçalves, José M. Gutiérrez, Adriana P. Correa, Alexandra Rucavado, Philippe Gasque, Denise V. Tambourgi

“…The importance of complement activation by the venom on neutrophil migration was investigated in vivo by injecting the venom into the peritoneal cavity of C5-deficient mice. Data obtained demonstrated that serum incubated with crude venom and its purified metalloproteinase BaP–1 are able to induce rat neutrophil chemotaxis, probably mediated by agent(s) derived from the complement system. …”
