Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, representing 32% of global deaths in 2019. In Brazil, about 14 million people have some form of cardiovascular disease, with at least 400,000 deaths occurring annually, accounting for 30% of all deaths in the country. Therefore, understanding and identifying the causes and complications resulting from cardiovascular disease…
The SARS-CoV-2 infection, known as COVID-19, has caused millions of deaths worldwide. In the survivors of this disease, cardiovascular symptoms can be observed until 12 months after the diagnosis, in the post-COVID phase. It has been suggested that microparticles (MP) could contribute to worsening the COVID-19 in the long term. These extracellular vesicles have the ability to carry bioact…
Malnutrition still affects thousands of people around the world. In addition to the deaths, malnutrition during the early stages of life compromises the development of organs and tissues essential to the maintenance of glycemic, lipid and energetic metabolism. Reprogramming of such organs and tissues may lead to metabolic changes that increases susceptibility to the development of patholo…
Cardiovascular complications are a common feature affecting patients (40-80%) recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Cardiovascular symptoms can persist for until 12 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular complications in the post-COVID-19 syndrome and improve therapeutic intervention. Micropartic…
Obesity prevalence has been increased and high body mass index is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) which are responsible for high mortality worldwide. An impaired perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) anticontractile function associated with PVAT inflammation have been demonstrated to contribute for vascular injury in obesity. However, the mechanisms involved in the…

The blood flow of the maternal uterine artery is a critical factor for the preservation of the intrauterine environment, allowing the normal function of the placenta for fetal growth and development. It is also responsible for the oxygen supplied to the fetal placental unit. Diagnosing cancer during pregnancy represents a major challenge, as maternal and fetal/neonatal health needs to be …

Endothelial injury, hyperactivation and intensification of pro-inflammatory and coagulant factors are well known severe symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These clinical conditions may contribute to increased circulating microparticles, membranous structures released from apoptotic or activated cells, which can carry bioactive molecules that could induce vascular responses such as endothel…
The term malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in nutrient intake and utilization, and includes both malnutrition and Obesity. Both are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Diabetes. Proper functioning of the pancreatic islet microvasculature is essential for beta cell endocrine activity and glycemic homeostasis, therefore, strategies for glycemic control sho…

Pancreatic islets consist of several secretory cells, with an emphasis on beta cells, responsible for insulin production and secretion. Beta cells are of great interest to study because their failure or death is the major cause of diabetes. Islets are also composed of vascular and neural cells, and each cell type is essential for the regulation and maintenance of islet function and, there…
The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a member of the steroid receptor family and a critical regulator of blood pressure (BP). For years the mechanism was thought to be exclusively mediated by the renal effects of the hormone aldosterone on sodium and water homeostasis. However, studies put forward the pathological role of vascular MR in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Mice with specific …
