Vitamin B6 has a crucial role in the central nervous system formation and its deficiency during pregnancy causes abnormalities in brain development and reduces neurotransmitters such dopamin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the striatum of offspring. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes are not fully understood. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate t…
Since 1994 when was established the Research Group Food-Drug Interaction registered at CNPq, our goal has been investigations of the dietary bioactive compounds in the protection of the adverse effects induced by chemotherapy in vivo models. Currently, we cooperate in the thematic project supported by FAPESP "Integrated assessment of the stability and functional properties of food natural…
Studies have demonstrated that the maternal undernutrition or overnutrition may be associated with increased risk of different diseases in the offsprings, such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. Vitamin B6, a water-soluble vitamin, is involved in many reactions including DNA, homocysteine and one-carbon metabolisms. Moreover, vitamin B6 plays an important rol…
