Graduated in Sport at the University of São Paulo (1998), Master in Molecular Biology at Escola Paulista de Medicina (2001), PhD in Science at Escola Paulista de Medicina (2004). She did postdoctoral studies at the Heart Institute (InCor-FMUSP) (2006-2008) and at Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA (2013-2014). She is currently an associate professor of the Physical Education and Health Course at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities at the University of São Paulo. Has experience in Exercise Physiology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, with emphasis on bioenergetic adaptations promoted by physical training, acting mainly on the following topics: physical training, energy metabolism, metabolic disorders, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, heart, renin angiotensin system and experimental animals.

The development of cardiomyopathy in diabetics can lead to an unfavorable clinical outcome, and due to the high prevalence, the search for understanding the pathophysiology and forms of prevention and treatment are increasing in the literature. Key factors such as cardiomyocyte metabolic imbalance, lipotoxicity, fibrosis and cardiac hypertrophy mediate cardiac damage, and part of the mech…
The association between obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (DM2) has been widely demonstrated in the literature, and a key factor that involves the participation of various organs in the development and progression of metabolic diseases is the collective loss in the ability to handle excess lipids associated with reduced tissue oxidative capacity. The understanding of the cel…
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of two weeks of physical detraining (PD) on energy balance components, white adipose tissue (WAT) metabolism, body weight (BW) and adiposity. Male C57BL/6J mice were assigned into groups sedentary (S, n = 20) and trained (T, n = 18). Physical training (PT) consisted of two 1.5 h daily sessions of swimming, 5 times/week for 4 weeks. After the …

The development of diabetic cardiomyopathy is a multifactorial process that includes changes in substrate metabolism, increased oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, induction of apoptosis and microvascular disease. Due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the population and the negative clinical outcomes for the heart, more and more has been invested in studies aimed at the di…
The reduced energy expenditure of an inactive lifestyle and a high-calorie intake has led the society to develop diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), insulin resistance and obesity. Studies involving the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) deserve attention due to the association between the actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) and the pathogenesis of obesity of DM2. More recently, t…
Obesity has become one of the most important public health problems, it is a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) and cardiovascular diseases, and is considered one of the five leading causes of death worldwide. The understanding of the cellular mechanisms of Metabolic Diseases (MD) enables to identify new therapeutic targets, and in this context, t…
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is the principal initiator of lipolysis, the hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerol into glycerol and free fatty acids, which action is critical because the severity of the secondary health consequences of obesity are substantially reduced through decreases in lipid stores. The mechanisms involved in the activation of the SNS innervation of adipose tiss…
