This project joins researchers from different areas as Physics, Medicine, Odontology and Nutrition on the description of problems that needs multidisciplinary focus as the investigation of complex fluids and elastomers. Frontier knowledge will be obtained on the relationship of molecular and nanoparticle interactions which are directly related to the complex behavior of magnetic colloids,…
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…
Atherogenic diabetes is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and mortality in diabetic individuals, however, the impact of insulin resistance (IR) in lipid metabolism in pre-clinical stages is generally under reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of IR to predict an atherogenic lipid subfractions profile. This cross-sectional study included 181 of subjects.…

Breast cancer (BC) ranks first worldwide in incidence and mortality in women. The number of BC cases in Brazilian women is estimated to increase by almost 50% by 2040. Due to the complexity and epidemiological relevance, there is an urgent need to plan multidisciplinary strategies that aim not only for prevention but also to improve BC outcomes (recurrence, metastasis, and mortality). Pre…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death in Brazil and worldwide. Although a large number of studies show a positive relationship between excessive fat intake and CVDs, more recently, hyperlipidic diets have been the focus of popular and scientific interest as a strategy for prevention and management of diseases and risk factors for cardiovascular events. These con…
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…
