Abstract: Melatonin is a natural indoleamine that has several modulating functions, including on mitochondrial homeostasis, acting as an antioxidant agent. Mitochondria are responsible for diverse cellular activities and have a dynamic balance, controlled by mitochondrial fission (Fis1 and DRP1) and fusion (MFN1, MFN2 and OPA1). Objectives: The present study aims to: 1) investigate whethe…
Smoking is a serious public health problem, causing over 7 million deaths annually and associated with diseases such as atherosclerosis, fibrosis, COPD, and lung cancer. Additionally, it is linked to oxidative stress, inflammation, and protein imbalance, affecting fundamental cellular processes such as mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria play a crucial role in muscle cells, providing e…
Habits like eating poor quality food and having sedentary lifestyle are increasingly in the population, resulting in increase of white adipose tissue and causing obesity. Nowadays obesity is a crescent global disease among young people mainly. With positive energy balance and consequent increase in fat mass numerous inflammatory cytokines are released. This causes metabolic damage not onl…
The behavior of society has beend modified due to increase of industrialization, with greater exposure to risk factors that impairs health of people, such as smoking and alcohol intake. Both cause major diseases, such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and alcoholic myopathy, which interferes in the musculoskeletal system, causing muscle atrophy and initiates the process of p…
The desire to leverage and endure physiological gains or the ideal homeostatic state of the organism dates back to historical periods of humanity. Any type of stress to the organism can cause adaptation, such as an increase of mitochondrial volume, with increased expression of protein PGC -1a, which can be changed by temperature, nutrient availability, and training or detraining. With beh…
