• Abstract

  The short bowel syndrome is a set of signs and symptoms resulting from nutritional and metabolic changes due to an extensive re-section of the small intestine, and represents one of the most severe clinical pictures of malabsorption. Little data is available about the real caloric needs of these patients, since the modification in health and physiological conditions affect directly the en…

• Abstract

  Obesity and related illnesses emerge as public health problem worldwide since the mid 80's. Characterized by the accumulation of body fat, its pathophysiology can not be solely explained by an imbalance between energy intake and consumption. There are a number of genetic, humoral, environmental and behavioral interconnected but not fully elucidated, contributing to positive energy balance…

• Abstract

  The obesity pathophysiology involves a complex interplay between peripheral flags and the brain metabolism. This study has the hypothesis that the stimuli elicited by ingested nutrients results in cerebral perfusion alterations related to adipose tissue excess. Objective: Measure brain perfusion changes with SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Tomography) after stimulation with 75 grams of gluc…

• Abstract

  Hypertension is an important public health issue globally. In Brazil, according to the 2019 National Health Survey, it is estimated that about 23.9% of the adult population is diagnosed with arterial hypertension. Sodium consumption above 2000 mg/day, or 5 g/day of salt, is an aspect related to increase in blood pressure, and can be easily modified. However, it is difficult to know the ac…

  The menstrual cycle is a biological phenomenon that corresponds to the reproductive period of healthy women and has an average duration of 28 days. This period begins at puberty and ends at menopause. Although some studies have evaluated the difference in metabolism during the menstrual cycle, the results are inconsistent in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this work is to evaluate a…

• Abstract

  Trivalent chromium is considered an essential element in animal and human nutrition. Its role in living organisms is related to macronutrient metabolism through the influence exerted on insulin activity. Studies suggest that supplementation of chromium in the form of chromium salts (picolinate, nicotinate and chromium chloride) in patients with metabolic syndromes may be one of the factor…

• Abstract

  Obesity is a growing health problem worldwide and has brought with it increased rates of chronic diseases. Currently, there are no multi-country studies devoted to examining the specific unique and common factors that are barriers to successful weight control, and this pilot study will be the first of its kind. Once collaboration is established and documented through this pilot study, t…
