Senescence is a physiological process that plays an important role in homeostasis. However, it is known that the accumulation of senescent cells is also responsible for the development of diseases related to advancing age, which may interfere in circadian rhythm once it is related to lower expression of clock genes. One of the hypotheses for premature birth is that it may result from the …
The irregularity in sleep patterns of students and the increased light exposure at night have a negative impact on well-being and health, as evidenced by the phase delay in melatonin synthesis. Melatonin is an endogenous phase marker and, like other rhythms, as activity/rest and body temperature, for example, is a marker of biological rhythmicity: synchronized by light/dark variation, tim…
Epidemiological data indicate that in the coming decades there will be an increase in the number of elderly people. In this sense, it is known that about 10% of the elderly will be affected by sarcopenia, a multifactorial syndrome that leads to widespread loss of muscle mass and strength, leading to decreased quality of life, increased fragility, morbidity and mortality. In parallel with …
Energy balance is a complex phenomenon, which mechanism involves central and peripheral actions of hormones and neuropeptides. The physical exercise is directly related at this mechanism by orexigenic and anorexigenic neurons modulation. Nowadays, some bodybuilders, athletes and physical exercise´s practitioners has been using anabolic androgenic steroids to obtain improved performance or…

Adolescence is a critical time for developing essential cognitive s marked by biological and behavioral changes. Circadian patterns, including the sleep-wake rhythm, are largely marked by changes at this age, including a tendency toward evening phase preference. The gap between circadian preference and the set times for social obligations is called social jetlag. This condition is common …
Preterm birth is the main risk factor for infant morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to be around 11.5% of births in Brazil. Giving birth before the appropriate period leads to an interruption of the newborn's normal development and may cause apnea of prematurity that is treated with caffeine. Caffeine competitively inhibits adenosine receptors by prolonging sleep latency, reducing t…
