• Abstract

  The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may contribute to the development of insulin resistance and diabetes and, when untreated, can progress to damage to the tissue itself such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, carcinoma and, in more severe cases, organ failure. In this sense, the knowledge of therapeutic strategies for the reduction of liver fat accumulation is crucial. Physical exercise i…

• Abstract

  The time period at the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene is characterized by very important changes in human history. In the Levant (Middle East) one major change is the transition from hunter-gather societies to permanent settlements identified in the Natufian culture. This change might be the trigger to the start of agriculture in the subsequent period. Associatio…

• Abstract

  Protozoan parasites, which are major human pathogens in both Brazil and Israel, were shown to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the host microenvironment, and these are known to modulate the intracellular communication between pathogens and hosts. Although these EVs have been characterized and shown to play important roles in the establishment of infection, specific processes invo…

  The Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) may contribute to the development of insulin resistance and Diabetes and, when untreated, can progress to damage to the tissue itself such as Fibrosis, Cirrhosis, Carcinoma and, in more severe cases, organ failure. Physical exercise is an important non-pharmacological tool for the treatment of NAFLD. However, how this practice has its benefits…
