This study aimed at analyzing the effect of chronic sodium overload upon carotid and femoral injury, and its relation to vascular angiotensin modulation. Male C57Bl6 mice were divided in: control (cont), receiving 1% NaCl solution for 2 weeks (salt-2) or 12 weeks (salt-12). Two-weeks before the end of the study, a 2mm catheter was implanted around the left femoral and carotid arteries to …
The hypothesis of the present project is that the angiotensin II (AngII), when it is acting on his receptors AT1 and AT2, is able to start initial inflammatory process, which can compose part of the mechanisms wrapped in the process of vascular injury or even increase the predisposition to develop the injury. To test this hypothesis, the objectives of the present project are: 1) to value …

Evaluate glucose and insulin plasma and their relationship with the cytokines adiponectin and leptin in a salt overload experimental model in rats, independent of changes in blood pressure and relate these changes with histological changes in vessels, liver and adipose tissue (AU)
Many studies have made a connection between salt overload and blood pressure, specially with cardiovascular diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an intake of 5g of salt, but the average of many countries, including Brazil, is beyond 10g. Thus, our hypothesis is that the salt intake may influence the kidney's capacity of respond and adapt to this saline overload in path…

Hypertension is recognized as an important vascular disease, leading to the injury of target organs, and to structural and functional changes in the arterial wall. These vascular changes include the different cell types and composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The vascular ECM is critical to ensure the mechanical properties of the arteries, as well as participate in cell functio…
