Healthy longevity and dynamic balances of well-being, diet, and physical activity

Background: Healthy longevity originates from the dynamic interaction between environmental, biological, and psychosocial factors such as health and subjective well-being. Objective: To analyze how subjective well-being, subjective health, physical activity, and the Mediterranean diet relate to aging biomarkers and the number of prescribed medications and how they vary according to groups differentiated by age,...

Association study of variants in genes FTO, SLC6A4, DRD2, BDNF and GHRL with Bi...

A population based case-control study was conducted in Portuguese women with overweight/obesity to investigate the possible association of variants in genes FTO, SLC6A4, DRD2, BDNF and GHRL with binge eating disorder (BED). The distribution of seven polymorphisms was evaluated in 31 BED patients and 62 controls. No significant associations were found between polymorphisms and BED. Of interest, a markedly lower ...

Distribution of the − 13910C>T polymorphism in the general population of Portug...

Allele frequencies of 6 STR loci (TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D13S317, D16S539 and D7S8...

Allele frequencies of six autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) markers (TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D13S317, D7S820 and D16S539) were estimated in a population sample (N=53-85) of unrelated individuals from São Tomé e Principe (West Africa). No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed for all loci. Allele frequency distribution and heterozygosity values were similar with those from other sub-Saharan Afri...

O contributo da genética para a evolução do pensamento evolutivo

Em 1859 Darwin explicou porque é que as mudanças operadas num organismo, proporcionando uma melhor sobrevivência e reprodução, são transmitidas de geração em geração até se fixarem na população. Porém, Darwin não conseguiu explicar como se processava esta transmissão entre gerações, colocando o problema da hereditariedade na vanguarda da biologia evolutiva. Nos anos 30 e 40 do século XX, a hereditariedade de Me...

Estudo populacional de 6 STRs (TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D7S820, D13S317 e D16S539) n...

As frequências alélicas de 6 STRs autossómicos (TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D7S820, D13S317 e D16S539), correntemente utilizados em estudos forenses, foram estimadas numa amostra de indivíduos não aparentados naturais da região Centro de Portugal (N=70-104). Não se verificaram desvios significativos ao equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg para os marcadores estudados. Os resultados foram comparados com os obtidos em estudos re...
