Obesity is a risk factor for development of several diseases. Recent studies indicate that high-fat diet-induced obesity increases cellular senescence in white adipose tissue, and that depletion of senescent cells reduces some cardiovascular and metabolic alterations caused by obesity. Although obesity stimulates cellular senescence, little is known about the mechanisms involved in high-f…
In the last decade, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased in several countries, including in Brazil. The excess of white adipose tissue (WAT) is the main risk factor associated with the development of several pathologies in obese individuals, such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. The main function of WAT is to store energy in tryglicerids. On …
Obesity is considered a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In this sense, it is essential not only to increase the understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in cardiac alterations evidenced in obesity, but also to identify potential treatments able to atenuate the cardiac structural and functional alterations, as well as metabolic alterations …

Obesity and aging are factors related to the development of chronic diseases of high incidence in current societies, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemias and cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have shown that obesity is characterized by increased cell senescence, in addition to adipose tissue remodeling and metabolic dysfunction. Previous studies of our group have demonstrated t…
The occurrence of obesity has progressively increased worldwide, which is primordially connected to lifestyle changes of population. Obesity is the major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death worldwide. The adipose tissue accumulation evidenced in overweight and obesity promotes several alterations in heart and blood vessels, which…
Obesity has increased at an alarming rate in the world and has become a serious concern since it is frequently associated with several comorbidities, such as metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Several studies performed in the last decades have shown the participation of epigenetic mechanisms in physiology and pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic diseases. Amo…

Obesity is a chronic multisystem disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Obesity is capable of producing a variety of hemodynamic, neurohormonal, and metabolic alterations that may affect heart morphology and function, leading to cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial dysfunction. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate the expression of specific target mR…
Obesity is a risk factor related to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that obesity accelerates aging-related processes, such as cellular senescence. Although senescent cells play important physiological functions, they have a high active metabolism and a senescence-associated secretory profile (SASP) that influence the tissue microenvironment and the …
In the last decade the obesity has increased at an alarming rate throughout the world, including in Brazil. The excess of adipose tissue is the main risk factor associated with the development of several pathologies in obese individuals, such as diabetes mellitus type 2, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. For a long time, the white adipose tissue (WAT) has been described as a reser…
