Degree in Biological Sciences-Medical Modality from the Federal University of São Paulo (1993), a master's degree (1996) and a PhD (2000) from the Postgraduate Program in Pharmacology at the Federal University of São Paulo. Currently a supervisor in the Postgraduate Program in Nutrition at the Federal University of São Paulo and an associate professor in the Department of Physiology at the Federal University of São Paulo. She completed a postdoctoral internship at the University of Liverpool (UK) (2S003) and a senior internship at the University of Cambridge (UK) (2019, 2023 and 2024). She has experience in the area of #8203;#8203;Physiology, with an emphasis on Adipose Tissue Physiology and Lipid Metabolism, working mainly on the following topics: nutrigenomics/nutrigenetics, obesity, animal models, and inflammation.

The increase of body weight gain observed in the lasts decades pointed the obesity as a public health problem. The genese of the obesity is multifactorial, among others factors involving the intake of diet enriched with saturated fat acid. The obesity is associated with metabolic disease like a hepatic non alcoholic disease. It is enhanced the importance of alternative therapeutic methods…
Background: Functional foods containing bioactive compounds of whey may play an importantrole in prevention and treatment of obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate theprospecting of the biotechnological process of coacervation of whey proteins (CWP) in chitosan,and test its antiobesogenic potential. Methods: CWP (100 mg.kg.day) was administered bygavage in mice with diet-induce…

Cancer is one of the diseases that affects the world's population the most, showing high mortality rate. Various pathological conditions are associated with both morbidity and mortality of cancer, including inflammatory processes and anorexia-cachexia syndrome. These conditions lead to the worsening on the clinical framework, promoting growth of tumour cells, therefore resulting in poor p…
Studies demonstrate that maternal nutritional alterations influence fetal growth and development, thus modifying the risk of developing some metabolic alterations in adult life. The green tea is a nutraceutical that play an antioxidant role, protect of cardiovascular diseases, reduces body fat and improves insulin sensitivity due to its biological active components. In the last years the …
The obesity is associated with adipose tissue, liver and muscle insulin resistance and a chronic low grade inflammatory process. The adipose tissue depots from the obese secrete proinflammatory adipokines like TNF-±, IL-1 and IL-6, and reduce the production of anti-inflammatory factors as adiponectin and IL-10. The nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFºB) is one of pathway evolved in t…

Studies have shown that disrupted metabolic environments during gestation can influence fetal growth, and increase the risk to develop metabolic disease in adulthood. This has been termed the 'developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis' and proposes that nutrition during critical stages of life (such as gestation and neonatal life) permanently affects the structure and functio…
Numerous studies have shown that disrupted metabolic environments during gestation and lactation that influence growth of the fetus and neonate increase the risk of developing metabolic diseases in adulthood. The mechanisms underlying this relationship are not fully understood. However programmed changes in epigenetic factors, such as miRNAs are thought to play an important role. Previous…
Given the problems related to obesity, pharmacological or nutritional supplementation intervention approaches have become increasingly attractive, in a population where a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits are prevalent. Much has been studied about the bioactive compounds of quercetin, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, ability to improve lipid metabolism and reduce atheros…
