Full Professor at the Federal University of Sao Paulo. She had a CNPq researcher felloship. She is a biologist by the Paulista State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1974), master in Biological Sciences / Physiology by the State University of Campinas (1978), PhD / Human Physiology by the University of São Paulo (1985) and Phyisiology professor by State University of Campinas (1996).She investigates several aspects of stress effects on peripheral systems, mostly the cardiac response to catecholamines and the effects of stress hormones on behavior and performance. She has published 67scientific articles, supervised 34 master's degree thesis and 17 PhD thesis. She has large experience in academic administration and project management. She worked at the Department of Physiology/ Institute of Biology/ UNICAMP in the period of 1975-2005. She was Director of the Campus Baixada Santista (2011-2015), where is a docent since 2005. In 2022 was granted with the "Scientific Excelence Award" from the Federal University of Sao Paulo. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

It is now accepted that there is a positive correlation between stress and heart disease. However, the mechanisms underlying this process are still unclear. Several authors have demonstrated in isolated atria, ventricle strips, and papillary muscles that environmental stress may change the sensitivity to catecholamines due to the downregulation of ²1-AR together or not together with alter…
Understanding the mechanisms related to stress response occupies the attention of scientists and clinicians since the definition of the term stress by the endocrinologist Hans Selye in 1936. It is believed that at least one third of the diseases that lead people to seek medical care are related to stress. The current conditions of life in the world represent a major cause of stress in hum…
Heart rate (HR) displays rhythmic fluctuations, which are essential for maintaining homeostasis. The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) can be measured by analyzing RR interval of the electrocardiogram, a noninvasive, accurate and low cost method. This measure reflects the modulation of cardiac activity by the autonomic nervous system. This modulation has great significance in various clinical …

The history of humanity reports that since primitive age, stress has caused disturbances to human beings. In the today's competitive world, stress is present almost all the time. Moreover, modernity, industrialization and urbanization have brought also convenience in food, provided by the technology: attractive food supply, high-calorie, scarce of nutrients and saturated fat, cholesterol,…
