Abstract
The recent changes in the global dietary patterns has raised an alarming increase in food insecurity, ranging from malnutrition associated with lack of food access to the excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods and unbalanced diets rich in fat and carbohydrates. Such dietary patterns not only increase the risk of obesity and metabolic diseases but also impact brain function, potent…

Abstract
Studies in the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) have shown that the self-perpetuation of obesity is related to metabolic programming resulting from critical periods of development. Obesity is closely related to subclinical inflammation, and recent work from our group has demonstrated that exposure to an obesogenic diet promotes impairments in the anti-inflammat…

Physical inactivity is one of the causes of the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. The World Health Organization showed in 2018 that around 28% of the world population had insufficient physical activity and Latin America has one of the highest rates of inactivity. Thus, it is important to evaluate the molecular mechanisms involved in the practice of physical exercise, the mediators involve…

Dietary triacylglycerols (TAGs) are gaining attention in response to the growing demand for a more balanced and healthy diet that promotes overall well-being. Within this context, dietary TAGs stand out as sources of quickly assimilated energy with properties that can contribute to preventing diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular issues. The synthesis of these dietary TAGs involves …

Introduction: Orthodontic tooth movement triggers a sequence of cellular and molecular events in periodontal tissues, where there is local release of several inflammatory mediators that can lead to root resorption. By generating tension in the roots of anchorage teeth, the application of orthodontic forces can predispose to the onset of external root resorption (ERR) with consequent loss …

Gut dysbiosis is considered one of the factors involved in complex diseases, such as human obesity. Recent studies based on massive DNA sequencing indicate that obese patients have lower microbial diversity. However, many functional aspects of microbial communities have been poorly explored, such as the diversity of genes associated with the CRISPR-Cas system, which is a microbial defense…

The aim of this research project is to analyze the association between autoimmune inflammatory diseases biomarkers and psychological health in individuals according to the thyroid function, thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) levels and use of levothyroxine. Data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) will be used from the baseline (2008-2010), 4-year (2012-…

Objective: To analyze the relationship between pulse wave velocity and different intensities of physical activity in lean adolescents, as well as to identify if this relationship is mediated by adiposity and muscle mass. Methods: Cross-sectional study linked to ABCD-Growth Study carried out in the city of Presidente Prudente, Brazil. The sample will consist of adolescents of both sexes an…

The low level of physical activity associated with a sedentary modern lifestyle, coupledwith a high-fat diet, can lead to obesity and chronic systemic inflammation, promotingchanges in the immune system which may be related to the development of prostatecancer (PCa). Exercise is recognized for its potential role in reducing the risk of certaincancers, here we hypothesized that aerobic phy…

Abstract
Background: Lipodystrophy, similar to obesity, is a disease with white adipose tissue dysfunction, but with worse metabolic profile. The inherited lipodystrophies can be classified as generalized or partial, with the extent of adipose tissue loss being associated with the severity of the metabolic complications. Brown adipose tissue has different embryonic origin from WAT and the presence…

Abnormalities in feeding behaviors are a key symptom of several conditions, including binge eating disorder, anorexia and obesity. In order to develop novel treatments, it is imperative to gain a deeper understanding of the circuits controlling adaptive feeding. Eating is affected by metabolic and hedonic features, consisting of several actions, including exploratory food-seeking and cons…

Abstract
The literature reports that the consumption of western diet can trigger damage to skeletal muscles by several metabolic pathways. To preserve skeletal muscle tissue, the useof bioactive compounds has been tested. It is described that the Gamma- Oryzanol (³Oz) has great influence on the mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle metabolism. Even though these reports are already established, st…
