Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), has been suggested to be associated obesity, insulin secretion, cardiovascular and homeostasis. GHS-R found in most tissues, among action it is included regulation heart energy metabolism. Therefore, hypernutrition during early life leads induces cardiac hypertrophy, compromises myocardial function, inducing failure adulthood. We examined ghrelin signaling process remodeling these obese adult mice. The...
Ghrelin is a hormone synthesized by the stomach that acts in different tissues via specific receptor (GHS-R1a), including hypothalamus and adipose tissue. For instance, recent reports have shown ghrelin has direct action on hypothalamic regulation of food intake mainly inducing an orexigenic effect. On other hand, also modulates energy stores expenditure adipocytes. This dual suggested this may act as link between central nervous system peripheral mechanisms. Furthermore, concerning...
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammation process that can affect the systemic inflammatory response syndrome, mainly in obese individuals. The passion fruit peel flour (PFPF) rich fibers help to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Methods: In this study, AP was induced by 5% sodium taurocholate inoculation (biliopancreatic duct). prognosis evaluated after treatment with PFPF rats overfed during lactation. (40 mg/kg b.w.) administered oral gavage five h induction or...
Introduction: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an infectious contagious disease produced by the human virus (HIV) that causes progressive immunosuppression, making individuals susceptible to infections and opportunistic diseases. Despite its benefits, antiretroviral therapy has side effects, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective: The aim this study was identify metabolic alterations in elderly patients...
Introduction: Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease, resulting from complex interactions between genetic, psychological, environments, lifestyles and emotional facts. Bariatric surgery the most effective tool in control treatment of severe obesity. However, individuals submitted to this may present malabsorption, some degrees protein-energy malnutrition hypovitaminosis. Objectives:To evaluate prevalence hypovitaminosis D bariatric patients BPGYR Sleeve using conventional multivitamin...
