Full professor in Biochemistry at Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar), is bachelor in Bio-medical Sciences by Paulista School of Medicine-EPM (1973), MsC in Microbiology and Parasitology by EPM (1978) and Doctorate in Ecology and Natural Resources by UFSCar (1986). Professor of Biochemistry at the Bachelor Course of Biological Sciences in UFSCar. Professor of Intermediary Metabolism and Biomolecules; Structure and Function to under-graduate students; Professor of Enzyme Kinetics to graduate students. The main scientific interest is concerned in Adaptive Biochemistry of freshwater fishes. The main research focus is: fish metabolism, stress in fish, physiological effects of xenobiotics in fish, biochemical adaptation of fish to nutrient changes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This work aims to continue studies about adaptive metabolism of tambaqui submitted to different handling situations. The species proposed is of the great commercial interest due to the excellent quality of its meat and its great potential for aquaculture. In a previous study, the utilization of dietary protein in relation to energy fraction was assessed and compared when the specie was su…
This study will allow us to proceed in response to our investigations on fish exposed to pyrethroids insecticides. Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used in aquaculture, in crops, and to control domestic insects and biological vectors. In this study, the B-esterases, enzymes sensitive to aquatic pollution, will be used in addition to genotoxicity approach, as appraisal tools for ev…
Over the last years, insecticides less toxic and less persisting into mammalian organisms, such as pyrethroids, have been used. Some studies have indicated that these insecticides are highly active to nontarget aquatic organisms. Deltamethrin is a type II pyrethroid, is very toxic to crustaceans and fish even at low concentrations. It inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, channel vo…

Due to growth in agriculture and its demands, the use of pesticides is continuously increasing worldwide. Due to contamination of the global environment, and effects on nontarget species by pesticides (e.g. carbamates and halogenated compounds), a preference for less persistent and less toxic products is being demanded. Synthetic pyrethroids are an option, owing to their high efficacy, bi…
