Circulating Dopamine Is Regulated by Dietary Glucose and Controls Glucagon-like...

Dopamine directly acts in the liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) to regulate insulin signaling, glucose uptake, and catabolic activity. Given that dopamine is secreted by the gut and regulates insulin secretion in the pancreas, we aimed to determine its regulation by nutritional cues and its role in regulating glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) action in WAT. Solutions with different nutrients were administered ...

Ultrasound as a method for early diagnosis of breast pathology

Introdução: A DPOC envolve, além de uma limitação ao débito aéreo, alterações de peso e da atividade dos músculos respiratórios. A realização de pressões máximas respiratórias (PMR) tem evidenciado alterações nos seus valores, quer em indivíduos com peso normal, quer em indivíduos com excesso de peso/obesidade. Objetivos: 1) caracterizar as PMR em indivíduos com DPOC de acordo com as classes de índice de massa ...

Perfil neuropsicológico em doentes com epilepsia do lobo temporal

A epilepsia do lobo temporal (ELT) é o tipo de epilepsia refractária mais comum nos adultos. Existe um consenso quanto ao compromisso da memória na ELT com esclerose hipocampal. Contudo, no que respeita a outras funções como é o caso da atenção, funções executivas, rendimento intelectual e linguagem, o consenso não é tão generalizado. Para este estudo analisámos retrospectivamente um grupo de 76 doentes com epi...
