OBJECTIVES: Increased arterial stiffness is an important determinant of the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lipid profile impairment, especially hypercholesterolemia, is associated with stiffer blood vessels. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine which of the five circulating lipid components (hig...

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the frequency distribution of daily meals and its relation to demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, anthropometric and biochemical factors in children and adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of 708 schoolchildren aged...
OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed the frequency of cardiometabolic risk markers and metabolic syndrome occurrence in overweight and obese children and adolescents. METHODS: The participants included 161 overweight (n=65) and obese (n=96) individuals aged between 5 and 19 years. Clinical markers were assess...

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la principal causa de muerte en el mundo y en Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, no se dispone de suficiente documentación sobre la prevalencia y la distribución de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en la población Latinoamericana. El objetivo de este trabajo de inv...
Introdução: Doenças cardiovasculares constituem importante causa de morte em todo mundo e a hipercolesterolemia está diretamente relacionada a elas. A dieta desempenha papel importante neste processo e alguns alimentos como o feijão caupi (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), especialmente sua proteína, tem...
Introdução: As proteínas alimentares são fontes de peptídeos atuantes em vários processos metabólicos. Existem evidências de que a proteína do feijão caupi (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) é capaz de reduzir o colesterol em hamsters e em humanos, porém, a permeabilidade após a digestão, o mecani...

Modifications in life-style and/or pharmacotherapies contribute to weight loss and ameliorate the metabolic profile of diet-induced obese humans and rodents. Since these strategies fail to treat hypothalamic obesity, we have assessed the possible mechanisms by which duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery ...

ABSTRACT Membrane/lipid rafts (MLRs) are plasmalemmal microdomains that are essential for neuronal signaling and synaptic development/stabilization. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase (statins) can disable the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor through disruption of MLRs and,...
Gallbladder cholesterolosis is a nosological clinical entity where the central element is the
deposit of lipids in immune cells that reside under the gallbladder epithelium. The mechanisms
involved in its development are not entirely clear, but they seem to have some resemblances
that are observed in the...
