In everyday life man is exposed to a large number of compounds coming from different sources (diet, environment, the use of drugs), some are essential and others harmful to life. Most of them interact with each other and with our organism, directly or indirectly, promoting simultaneous, dynamic and complex reactions of attack and defense. This process stimulates the formation of many mole…

The treatment of obesity aims at significant loss of weight, with consequent improvement of associated comorbidities and thus, several strategies can be used to induce a negative energy balance and consequent weight loss. Bariatric surgery has been a method of choice for cases of high degrees of obesity and has been shown to be an effective way to promote substantial weight loss. Long-ter…
Regardless of the strategy used in the control/treatment of obesity, the individual response to interventions is highly variable, and the genetic variation between individuals explains the variety of physiological responses in the same environment, explaining why some individuals are more likely to win/lose weight than others in the same environmental conditions. The aim of this study is …
Obesity is considered an epidemic disease, represented by the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and is linked to various genetic and environmental causes. Studies indicate that the energy balance, determined by energy intake and energy expended, seems to depend on 40% of genetic inheritance. The aim of this study is to check the expression of genes ADBR3, UCPs, PLIN, PPARG2 related…

Introduction: Dietary and surgical treatments for obesity can modulate epigeneticregulation, acting on energy metabolism and altering the transcription of genesunderlying oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance. Objective: tocomparatively analyze the methylation profile of genes related to energy metabolism inpatients before and after bariatric surgery. Methodology: indivi…
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is defined as the amount of energy required for the normal physiological maintenance of the organism at rest. Usually, the calculations used to measure BMR are based on individuals without obesity according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) classification. However, when this method is extrapolated to patients with obesity, the accuracy rate decreases considerably…
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that plays an antioxidant role mediated by selenoproteins, acting in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and Cancer, in addition to supporting the immune system. Due to its importance for biological functions, monitoring Se concentrations is relevant, especially for patients in vulnerable health conditions. In this sense, individuals with …

Genetic variants related to selenium (Se) metabolism can directly influence the individual's blood levels, increasing the risk of developing diseases related to its deficiency. Thus, estimating the probabilistic susceptibility of an individual to Se deficiency, considering their genetic profile - polygenic risk score (PRS) - has shown to be an important tool in clinical management, aiming…
The array technology incorporates a whole-genome amplification step after bisulphite conversion, which is followed by fragmentation and hybridization of the sample to methylation-specific DNA oligomers that are linked to individual bead types that's corresponds to a specific DNA CpG site and methylation state. After alignment, further bioinformatics steps are required for extracting biolo…
Obesity is considered to be one of the most severe public health problems. The positive energy balance, genetic, behavioral and environmental factors contribute significantly to the epidemic of obesity. Nutritional intervention such as hypocaloric diets may provide weight loss and improve the comorbities associated to metabolic syndrome. However, weight loss involves environmental, behavi…
