Abstract

The obesity epidemic and the resulting burden of cardiovascular events and renal disease have led to an unfavorable impact on global public health. These events are in close association with risk factors arising from changes in lipid metabolism, diabetes mellitus and hypertension, which has generated great interest in the scientific community in recent years. Therefore, the search for interventions through different therapeutic strategies, with emphasis on the study of cellular and molecular pathways and the development of common biomarkers as well, has been the premise of many research areas. With this perception, the Research Group of the Nephrology Division of Universidade Federal de São Paulo in association with researchers at the Nephrology Division of Tufts University in Boston and the Academic Research Organization of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein made a collective effort to develop the Project: "Obesity: pathophysiology and related therapeutic strategies." We are aiming at a translational approach, covering different subprojects in areas of cellular and molecular biology, in clinical protocols as well as experimental models with common interfaces. In this Thematic Project, involving 2 Principal Investigators and 5 Associates along with the participation of 12 fellows (Scientific Initiation and Postdoctoral) and students (Master's and Doctorate), we focused on the search for a therapeutic standpoint (including pharmacological treatment, bariatric surgery and stem cell therapy) under the pathophysiological mechanisms common to visceral obesity such as inflammation-generating hypoxia, modulation of gene expression patterns in response to environmental stimuli, and changes in immune response in several cellular and experimental models in 10 subprojects.
