Based on preliminary data and on the amount of evidence produced by our group, this research project will investigate the following hypothesis: melanopsin (OPN4) and/or Transient Receptor Potencial channels (TRPs), expressed by cardiomyocytes, monitor among other putative signals, the variation of the core temperature and/or the local metabolic variation. We suggest that temperature varia…
This proposal was consolidated after discussions among members of the interdisciplinary Research Infrastructure Commission (IRIC), constituted by the responsible researcher and coordinators of the research groups from UMC, namely: Center for Interdisciplinary Biochemistry Research (CIBR) Technology Research Group (TRG) and Environmental Science Center (ESC). According to IRIC components, …
Cachexia is a complex syndrome that affects multiple compartments and systems in cancer patients. White adipose tissue (WAT) loss is one of the most important clinical "markers" of such disease. Recently, some studies have shown morphological modifications (remodeling) in WAT, characterized by phenotypic changes of white adipocytes that became closer to brown adipocytes profile. This proc…

Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by continuous reduction of total body mass that cannot be fully reversed by nutritional support. This syndrome leads to progressive functional impairment and mainly affects skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (AT). In the development of cachexia, AT is affected early, being an endocrine organ constituted of several cell types, including, …
Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome, related to systemic inflammation, metabolic chaos and especially with the continuous reduction of adipose and skeletal muscle mass. Adipose tissue (TA) is early affected by the syndrome and plays an important role in its development. It is considered a heterogeneous organ divided into white TA (TAB) and brown TA (TAM), each with its distinct morpholo…
The adipose tissue is an important organ due to its high adaptation power to the environmental adversities beside controlling the energy stock. The white adipose tissue (WAT) provides substrates for the organism energy maintenance and the brown adipose tissue (BAT) is one of those responsible for the heat production through the adaptative thermogenesis process. It has been described in li…

Cachexia is characterized as a syndrome that affects multiple compartments and systems of the tumor-bearing organism, breaking the natural state of balance between the systems, leading to metabolic "chaos." It is highly prevalent in cancer patients, especially in patients with gastrointestinal cancer (> 60%) and in more than 25% of patients; it is the leading cause of death. Recently, sev…
