Multiple factors determine the variation in patterns of allergic response of the lungs. Among the endogenous factors, the hormones have unique adaptive value because they influence functions in various systems. Prolactin is a peptide hormone that is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and is known to regulate stress, reproduction, and a wide variety of physiological processes. The ef…
After delivery, the mother should use her time searching for food and caring for young. Survival of newborns may depends on optimizing the amount time spend on each of these activities. Endogenous mechanisms allow the expression of select female behaviors such as feeding the puppies or seek for food. Recent studies have shown that the periaqueductal gray (PAG) is an important area of cent…
Twenty years have passed since the neuropeptide known as melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) was discovered in mammals. During that time, much has been done in order to elucidate the functions in which MCH is involved. Studies have shown that MCH can function as an orexigenic peptide, as well as playing a role in the control of sensory information, in the reward from food intake, in learn…

Autism is a complex developmental disorder characterized by behavior commitment. Prenatal VPA exposure creates symptoms similar to those found in human being. In our previous study, we demonstrated that prenatal VPA exposure causes cognitive inflexibility, commitment to vocalization and socialization, and also decreased striatal TH in male offspring. Those results suggests an autistic-lik…
Maternal immune activation during pregnancy has been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. During the master's and doctor degree of the proponent (both with FAPESP grant) it was proposed that exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which mimics a bacterial infection (100 ug/kg, ip., on gestational day 9.5 of rats) would be an experimental model of autism, based on similar findings to …
In 2008, data from WHO showed that 1.5 billion of people were overweight. Recent research conducted by Ministry of Health revealed that 49% of Brazilians are overweight. Therefore, obesity became a big problem of public health. There are evidence that maternal food consumption can cause impairment in adult life of the offspring, like a high risk of developing obesity and metabolic alterat…

Developmental programming is influenced by perinatal nutrition and it has a long-lasting impact on adult metabolism in the offspring. In particular, maternal high fat diet has been associated with increased risk of obesity and metabolic disorders in the offspring. These effects may be due to the effects of the high fat diet on the development of the systems that regulate food intake and e…
Repercussions of the complex interaction between the nervous and immune system are the focus of neuroimmunemodulation (NIM) study. Many clinical evidences reveal NIM's importance in the intestine. Indeed, alterations in the enteric nervous system (ENS) are usually observed in gastrointestinal diseases. Due to its role in monitoring the biggest area of the body exposed to the environment, …
The interaction between mother and child that occurs in the postpartum period is critical to the physical, cognitive and psychological development of the children. This interaction depends on several factors, and the mother's positive emotional state is one of the most important for the psychological development of children. However, many mothers in the postpartum period present emotional…
