The global prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic levels, now recognized as a critical health crisis of the 21st century. Lifestyle interventions are essential and first-line treatment for managing these metabolic disorders. Within this context, caloric restriction (CR) stands out as a longstanding and promising strategy for improving glucose homeostasis, …
The pancreatic ² cells have ample capacity to adapt to numerous physiological demands via cellular processes of proliferation, transdifferentiation, hypertrophy and apoptosis. The neonatal period is a stage of high plasticity of the endocrine pancreas, however the mechanisms involved in this process are not fully understood. The hepatocyte nuclear factor 4± (HNF4±) is a transcription fact…
The pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction plays an important role on the development of type 2diabetes (DM2), and it is know that genetic and epigenetic factors contribute to the susceptibility of this disease. Epidemiological evidences suggest that exposure to an adverse environment, in early life, is associated with an increased risk of metabolic disorders in adulthood. Overexposure to gluco…
