• Abstract

  Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition characterized by constant hyperglycemia, with significant impact on the health and quality of life of people who live with it, leading to increased cardiovascular risk, loss of kidney function, diabetic neuropathy, and amputations. Brazil is the fifth country in the world with the highest rate of diabetics, with an expectation of 26 million in…

  Impact of curcuma longa intervention on endothelial glycocalyx and evaluation of interaction with oxidative/inflammatory pathways and exosomal microRNAs: establishing the importance of phytotherapy as an integrative practice in the treatment of type 2 DM, AP.R

• Abstract

  Several clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that low birth weight may contribute to the late development of cardiovascular disease. Although the factors involved in this effect have not yet been fully elucidated, studies in the literature have already shown a correlation between low birth weight and elevated blood pressure levels, reduced vascular compliance, incomplete vascul…

  Quantification of the endothelial microparticles and analysis of the miRNA profile: evaluation of the impact on the interrelation between birth weight, blood pressure levels and endothelial function in children from 6 to 12 years of age, AP.R

• Abstract

  Several available evidence from clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that there is an excess risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, hypertension and metabolic syndrome among individuals with history of low birth weight (LBW). Recently, we demonstrated that LBW children had elevation of blood pressure levels associated with endothelial dysfunction. Moreover, we ob…

• The interrelationship of birth weight, physical training and blood pressure levels: a clinical and experimental approach on the role of endothelial progenitor cells, BP.TT

• Abstract

  Clinical and experimental investigations have been demonstrated that the low birth weight can contribute to development of cardiovascular diseases in later life. Although the factors involved in this effects are not yet fully elucidated changes, such as, reduced vascular compliance, characterized by incompleted vasculogenesis and microvascular rarefaction capacity and alteration in modula…
