As people get older the noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) become the leading causes of morbidity, disability and mortality in all regions of the world. Amongst the NCDs, obesity stands out, which is associated with chronic systemic low-grade inflammation, even in the absence of overt disease, and it's often followed by increased levels of inflammatory markers and adipokines. Additionally, s…
Septic patients develop hypotension, which does not respond to vasopressor agents, and is usually associated with high mortality. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is recognized as the main trigger of this immunological response because it stimulates the production of cytokines and nitric oxide. NF-κB is a cellular transcription factor that regulates genes involved in the immunological respons…
Sepsis is a severe health condition characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to an infection, which can progress to septic shock and death. The increasing incidence of sepsis, coupled with high mortality rates and substantial hospital costs, highlights the importance of early detection and appropriate management. This study aims to evaluate adherence to the measures recommend…
Sepsis is characterized by an unregulated immune response that can progress to septic shock, a condition with a greater chance of death. It is known that obesity can increase the risk of morbidities, favoring the occurrence of infectious diseases and sepsis. Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone that has a lower plasma concentration in obese people and is known to exert regulatory actions in t…
The sepsis or endotoxemia, in the case of the administration of bacterial fragments, is characterized by an exacerbated response of the immunological system to an infectious agent. That response leads to a production of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well as, the induction of enzymes, such as oxide nitric synthase (NOS) and the heme oxygenase (HO), culminating in fever, hypotensi…
The objective of this proposal is to pursue the role of imidazoline receptor activation in heart failure. Imidazoline receptors (I1-receptors), implicated in blood pressure regulation through inhibition of sympathetic nervous (SNS) activity have been identified in the heart. Our in vivo studies have shown that moxonidine, an I1-receptor agonist, exerts cardiovascular effects mediated thro…
