Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences at Cruzeiro do Sul University, Brazil. PhD in Health Sciences, fInterdisciplinary Post-graduate Program in Health Sciences, Cruzeiro do Sul University. During his doctorate, he also completed an internship at Curtin University, Perth, Australia, with a FAPESP scholarship. The doctoral project aimed to evaluate the effect of "in vitro" treatment with leptin on the function and metabolism of lymphocytes. Has experience in T lymphocytes, Immunometabolism, exercise physiology, melanoma skin cancer, obesity and leptin. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Physiological processes involved in food digestion and metabolic adaptations to the newly available energy substrates are observed in the postprandial period. During this period, a transient inflammatory response is observed, characterized by an increase in the number of circulating leukocytes, changes in their gene expression and an increase in plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines. Th…
Leptin is an adipokine that has an important role in metabolism and modulates the immune response. Leptin acts on lymphocytes stimulating Th1 cells response and inhibiting regulatory T cells (Treg), contributing to the development of the inflammatory process. The activation of lymphocytes is associated with specific metabolic pathways that are important for optimizing their function. In a…

The main physiological function of leptin is to signal negative energy balance and decrease energy reserves. In addition to the important function in metabolism, leptin can participate in several processes, including immune response modulation. Lymphocytes express the long form of the leptin receptor (OB-Rb) and, therefore, suffer direct effects from leptin on their functions. The activat…
