Population aging is a major challenge for the social transformation of the century, which makes it increasingly necessary for elderly caregivers who work both in institutions and in homes. The demographic census has shown profound changes in Brazilian society, such as fewer children in families and greater access to education for women, increasing their insertion in the labor market, dete…
In addition to the association between low levels of physical activity and obesity, physical inactivity is a risk factor for a large number of chronic-degenerative diseases and premature mortality. Currently, however, the continuing focus of research on moderate and vigorous physical activity for health is being questioned. Light-intensity physical activities of daily life, known as spont…
Obesity results from a chronic imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure, favoring a positive energy balance. Physical activity may alter body weight as efficiently as food intake. However, the mechanisms underlying its control are not well understood. Physical activity is classified in voluntary exercise (sports, gym), and spontaneous physical activity (SPA - body movements …
Spontaneous Physical Activity (SPA) corresponds to activities of low intensity, such as walking, climbing stairs and activities of daily living. It is an important component of energy balance, and declines with aging. Currently, the central regulation of SPA is unknown. Caloric Restriction (CR) slows down the changes associated with aging and has a neuroprotective effect. In addition, the…
Obesity is a global public health problem, responsible for the large increase in the number of chronic non-communicable diseases, especially diabetes mellitus. In this sense, the search for strategies to combat or treat obesity has great value. The fruit of juçara palm is rich in phenolic compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In a previous study, we demonstrated tha…
Obesity results from a chronic imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, favoring a positive energy balance. Even though physical activity may alter body weight as efficiently as food intake, the mechanisms underlying its control are not well understood. The implications of a sedentary life style extend beyond obesity, and include diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, some ca…
Spontaneous physical activity (SPA) and its associated thermogenesis, non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) are important components of total daily energy expenditure and can protect against obesity. In the current PhD project, we used calorie restriction (30%) as an intervention to mitigate the age-associated decline in SPA and investigate the brain areas and the molecules involved,…
