Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease in children. Classically, pharmacological polytherapy is the most accepted treatment with the best clinical results, however, about 30% of patients are resistant to this treatment. Since the 20s of the last century, the ketogenic diet (CD), formed by about 90% of fats, has been presented with an effective treatment in the control of convuls…

In recent decades, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become a worldwide public health problem, with approximately 18 million deaths being attributed to CVDs globally per year. In this sense, diet has a great influence and is one of the modifiable risk factors involved in the genesis of CVDs. Studies show that there is a positive correlation between excessive fat consumption and CVDs, an…
Nutrition plays an extremely important role in the incidence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), which remain the leading cause of mortality in Brazil and worldwide. The impact of lipid consumption on these diseases depends not only on quantitative aspects but, above all, on their quality. Classic research on cardiovascular diseases demonstrates the importance of replacing different poly…
Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide and themore common in women, representing 11.7% of all cancer cases. The acidsOmega-3 fatty acids have the potential to modulate transcription factors and gene expressionassociated with the inhibition of cell growth and differentiation, through the inhibition ofexpression of some growth factors and proliferative and inflammator…

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disease and is characterized by the triacylglycerols accumulation in hepatocytes. Hepatic steatosis is considered one of the main causes of chronic liver disease and the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome (MS), along with the presence of obesity and insulin resistance (IR). Excess fructose consumed in the form of added suga…
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease that affects 50 million people worldwide, 20 to 30% have refractory epilepsy. Ketogenic diet, an adjuvant treatment, is composed of high lipid, adequate protein and low carbohydrate content. The epilepsy induced in animals by lithium pilocarpine (Li-Pilo) constitutes an animal model that can help to understand the effects and mechanisms involved …
Breast cancer (BC) is the malignant neoplasm that most affects women in the world and is responsible for the highest mortality rate in this population. It is possible that there is a relationship between the consumption of food sources of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3) and the progression of BC- Recent studies relate the highest consumption of n-3 with the lowest incidence of this cancer. Howe…
