Carvalho, IP; Peixoto, B; Caldas, JC; Costa, A; Silva, S; Moreira, B; Almeida, A; Moreira-Rosário, A; Guerra, A; Delerue-Matos, C; Sintra, D; Pestana, DThe goal of this work was to examine whether elevated iodine intake was associated with adverse effects on IQ among school-age children in Portugal. In a representative sample of children from the north of the country, IQ percentiles by age (assessed with Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices) were dichotomized to <50 (“below-average” IQs) and ≥50.

Molecular mechanisms controlled by mTOR in male reproductive system
Moreira, B; Oliveira, PF; Alves, MIn recent years, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has emerged as a master integrator of upstream inputs, such as amino acids, growth factors and insulin availability, energy status and many others. The integration of these signals promotes a response through several downstream effectors that regulate protein synthesis, glucose metabolism and cytoskeleton organization, among others. All these biological ...
