The aging process is accompanied by metabolic and body composition changes, increasing the risk of obesity and sarcopenia. The coexistence of these conditions acts synergistically on each other and is known as sarcopenic obesity. Beige adipose tissue is a type of tissue that emerges from subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT), altering its phenotype in a way that resembles the thermogeni…
INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenic obesity (SO), a functional and clinical condition, is characterized by the coexistence of obesity, marked by excess fat mass and sarcopenia, characterized by reduced strength and muscle mass. SO is associated with a greater risk of health-related adverse clinical outcomes than older adults with obesity and sarcopenia alone. Aging promotes genome hypomethylation an…
Recently, the World Health Organization classified Sarcopenia as a disease, which will allow the establishment of universal clinical guidelines for its diagnosis and treatment. In this sense, the rev-erb-alpha protein is a promising molecular target for the prevention and treatment of Sarcopenia, since it plays an essential role in the regulation of autophagy, mitochondrial content, oxida…
Obesity and overweight affect about 2 billion people worldwide. Despite the increasing prevalence, the treatment of obesity is still an obscure field and the impacts of this disease on the clinical and public health perspective are emergency. Studies have demonstrated a fundamental role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of obesity and discussed the impacts of diet and exercise on …
Taurine supplementation researches has increased due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, and its ability to modulate lipid metabolism by stimulating the expression of proteins that regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and increases respiratory function (PGC-1± and PPAR). Since obesity can induce metabolic disorders including abnormal production of adipokines and activation of …
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of taurine and chocolate milk supplementation on oxidative stress and protein metabolism markers, and aerobic parameters in triathletes. METHODS: A double-blind, crossover study was conducted with 10 male triathletes, aged 30.9 ±1.3 yr, height 1.79 ± 0.01 m and body weight 77.45 ± 2.4 kg. Three grams of taurine and 400 ml of chocolate milk…

Obesity is recognized as a global pandemic, with Brazil being one of the countries with the highest prevalence rate in Latin America. One of the characteristics associated with obesity is subclinical inflammation. This concentrate, accompanied by adipose tissue hypertrophy, promotes substantial metabolic changes, intensifying oxidative stress and compromising mitochondrial function. Altho…
INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenic obesity is characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass and an increase in body fat, a condition especially present in the elderly. A significant improvement in metabolic parameters has been observed with the completion of taurine supplementation and also with the practice of physical exercise, but there are no studies associating the interventions mentio…

With the crescent number of elderly people in the world population, health problems related to this age have become important for public health agencies. Advanced age is associated with metabolic, physiological and lifestyle changes, which can lead to sarcopenic obesity. This situation bind two very common health problems in the elderly and needs to be better studied so that effective non…
Obesity is characterized as a low-grade systemic inflammatory disease. With the increase in adipose tissue, several cytokines present alterations in their synthesis and secretion, resulting in endocrine imbalances. The cytokines that most influence this process are adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory cytokine that reduces its concentration during obesity, and pro-inflammatory cytokines: tum…

Since that obesity is associated with disturbs in fat cell gene expression and metabolism, understanding how obesity metabolism and what strategies could reduce its impact provides an important clinical challenge. Our global hypothesis is that cell autonomous differences in adipocytes are epigenetically driven and critical to our understanding of the risk for metabolic diseases developmen…
The five isoforms of the long-chain acyl-CoA synthases (ACSL) are associated with different roles in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism, promotion of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and development of diseases. The effects of ACSL on fatty acid metabolism are well documented; however, their roles in controlling obesity metabolism must be better investigated. Therefore, this project…
