Bachelor in Physical Education from Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) and Ph.D. in Human Physiology from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP). He held a postdoctoral internship at the Department of Psychobiology at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). He is currently a professor at the Department of Biosciences at UNIFESP, where he teaches the disciplines of (1) Exercise Physiology, (2) Exercise Biochemistry, and (3) Exercise Immunology. His studies highlight the understanding of exercise immunology and immunometabolism. For this, his research focuses on the effects of physical exercise and chronic diseases such as obesity on the function and metabolism of monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. Finally, his research group expanded the investigations to understand the importance of the immune system's communication with other physiological systems, such as skeletal muscle, brain, and intestine. He is a member of the International Society for Exercise Immunology, the Brazilian College of Sports Sciences, and the Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science. For eight years, he has been a productivity fellow of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The incidence and severity of infectious diseases are higher in people with diabetes. The reasons are unknown, but it may be due to the worsening of cellular and humoral parameters related to the immune response due to the worsening of metabolism during diabetes. On the other hand, physical exercise can be an important ally in the treatment of diabetes. At the same time, trained people ha…
Physical exercise can modify the function of immune cells such as monocytes. These changes may be due to the intensity and volume of the exercise and the outcome is the less probability of trained people becoming ill and faster recovery in case of illness, especially inflammatory and chronic diseases. The mechanisms that permeate the effects of exercise on monocytes are not yet fully unde…
In the last 20 years there has been a growing number of studies trying to explain the relationship between the immune system, central nervous system and exercise. It is now known that exercise can be immunomodulatory, stimulating or inhibiting the immune response. On the other hand, exercise in hypoxia can be considered a potent immunosuppressive and inflammatory agent, mainly because of …
This study analyzed the effects of carbohydrate and glutamine supplementation on salivary immunity after exercise at a simulated altitude of 4500 m. Fifteen volunteers performed exercise of 70% of VO2peak until exhaustion and were divided into three groups: hypoxia placebo, hypoxia 8% maltodextrin (200 mL/20min), and hypoxia after six days glutamine (20 g/day) and 8% maltodextrin (200 mL/…

Women's football has become popular all over the world. In Brazil, in recent years, it has been no different. However, the body of scientific knowledge on this subject has not evolved at the same speed as its popularization. The lack of studies on women's football is a crucial issue, as it naturally becomes an obstacle to the full development of the sport. The scientific knowledge current…
Different physical and behavioral responses can be produced after performing strenuous physical exercises. In this sense, thinking of a strategy to minimize the harmful effects of this type of physical exercise, it is believed that attenuating probiotic supplementation can alter cognitive functions, mood, sleep and modulate the type of exercise in people after exercise. marathon. Thus, th…
Recent evidence suggests that intense physical exercise (IPE) can be an important tool for appetite control and possible obesity treatment, since IPE promotes a great acute disturbance in the cytokines (pro and anti-inflammatory) stimulated from muscle tissue, in addition IPE also promotes release of several appetite-modulating neuropeptides in a dose-dependent manner. Both these disturba…
Different from the processes of severe muscle injury few studies have examined the participation of Mac after low-intensity muscle injuries such as EIMD (exercise-induced muscle damage). In the triceps muscle of mice, we identified that the LIEF was responsible for elevating predominantly Ly6C + Mac, being these subsets one of the main responsible for the secretion of substances related t…

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Macrophages (MÕs) and satellite cells (S.C) are closely related to muscular injury and regeneration. After injury (1 to 2 days) MÕs type 1 (M1) provide the clearance of injured cells by phagocytosis and impair myogenesis. During regeneration (4 to 7 days), phagocytosis is concluded and MÕs are simultaneously converted to MÕs type 2 (M2), which restore the process of …
