Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, among others, collectively grouped in the category of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are today the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nutrition and physical activity are considered non-invasive strategies of great impact, and the first choice to prevent and/or treat NCDs. Nutrig…
The advancement of the obesity epidemic, which now affects approximately one-third of adults around the world, underscores the relevance of the detailed study of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is no longer considered a mere storage site for excess energy as it was 20 years ago. Instead, years of intense research have brought to the surface the image of a highly active tissue involved in n…

The immune system is essential for the defence of the human body against various pathogens and antigens, using various cells, antibodies, cytokines, and other proteins in the search to maintain the integrity of the organism. Didactically, the immune system can be divided into two main branches: the adaptive immune system, responsible for more specific and long-lasting responses, which inv…
The liver plays a critical role due to its multifunctionality, encompassing nutrient metabolism, regulation of blood volume, immune system support, endocrine modulation of growth pathways, lipid homeostasis, and xenobiotic compound breakdown. Nonetheless, hepatic injuries can lead to severe conditions, such as NAFLD. Existing studies suggest that epicatechin (EC) may confer benefits by mi…
Obesity is a chronic and global disease of an exponential nature whose main cause is the imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure, thus leading to an excessive fat accumulation besides to being related with a wide range of other diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2 and numerous cardiovascular diseases. One of the tissues with the greatest regulatory potential and today…
Obesity is currently a challenge for the health system worldwide as it is a risk factor for numerous diseases with high comorbidity. Associated with sedentarism and a food imbalance due to the intake of hypercaloric foods with reduced nutrient content, the number of people with obesity and overweight has been increasing in the last decades. The great fat and energy deposit is adipose tiss…
The alarming growth of obesity has become a world challenge to public health. The epidemic proportions of obesity prevalence stimulated scientific interest in the etiology and the search for therapeutic interventions capable of preventing the co-morbidities associated with it. The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of progressive liver dysfunction that is close…

Energy balance is defined by two components: energy intake and energy expenditure. Even minor but chronic perturbations in either of these two components can lead to an increase (obesity) or decrease in body weight. Obesity is not only a significant problem in itself but is also a major inducer of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer. At present, there is no…
Cells respond rapidly to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by blocking protein translation, increasing protein folding capacity, and accelerating degradation of unfolded proteins via ubiquitination and ER-associated degradation pathways. The type II iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) is a type I endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident thioredoxin fold-containing selenoprotein that activates thyroi…
