Breast Adipose Tissue's Xenobiotics and Fatty Acid Profile-A Preliminary Study ...
Sousa, Sara; Paíga, Paula; Araújo, Bárbara; Coelho, Francisca; Castela, Inês; Vasques, Miguel; Sampaio, Clara; Duarte, Marta; Correia, AnaCountless environmental pollutants and xenobiotics, are widespread and linked to hazardous effects, including breast cancer. Due to their lipophilic properties, these accumulate in fat tissue, such as breast adipose tissue. However, little is still known about their combined effects and distribution within the breast microenvironment. Alterations in fatty acid metabolism can be a biomarker for cancer progressio...

Advancing Access to Intestinal Microbiota Transplant: Bridging the Gap Between ...
Dinis, Liliana; Pinheiro, Hélder; Póvoa, Pedro; Calhau, Conceição; Pestana, Diogo; Marques, CláudiaClostridioides difficile is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause a range of conditions, from asymptomatic carriage to severe illness, posing a significant public health threat due to its high mortality rates and substantial healthcare costs. Traditional treatment options, including antibiotics, often fail to eradicate the infection, leading to recurrent cases that severely impact patients’ lives. Intestinal...

Essential trace elements status in portuguese pregnant women and their associat...
Bracchi, Isabella; Guimarães, Juliana; Rodrigues, Catarina; Azevedo, Rui; Coelho, Cláudia Matta; Pinheiro, Cátia; Morais, Juliana; Barreiros-Mota, InêsCobalt (Co), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn) are essential trace elements (ETEs) important in cellular chemical reactions and antioxidant defense. Ingestion of ETEs during pregnancy is crucial but their role in specific pregnancy outcomes is largely unknown. This study aimed to quantify urinary levels of these ETEs in pregnancy and to evaluate their role in pregnancy health. First tr...
Association of 3-Phenoxybenzoic Acid Exposure during Pregnancy with Maternal Ou...
Guimarães, Juliana; Bracchi, Isabella; Pinheiro, Cátia; Moreira, Nara Xavier; Coelho, Cláudia Matta; Pestana, Diogo; Prucha, Maria do CarmoThe aims of this study were to characterize the exposure of pregnant women living in Portugal to 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and to evaluate the association of this exposure with maternal outcomes and newborn anthropometric measures. We also aimed to compare exposure in summer with exposure in winter. Pregnant women attending ultrasound scans from April 2018 to April 2019 at a central hospital in Porto, Portu...
Impact of brominated flame retardants on lipid metabolism: An in vitro approach
Maia, Maria Luz; Sousa, Sara; Pestana, Diogo; Faria, Ana; Teixeira, Diana; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Domingues, Valentina; Calhau, ConceiçãoBrominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemicals employed to lower the flammability of several objects. These endocrine disruptor chemicals are lipophilic and persistent in the environment. Due to these characteristics some have been restricted or banned by the European Union, and replaced by several new chemicals, the novel BFRs (NBFRs). BFRs are widely detected in human samples, such as adipose tissue and som...
Association between elevated iodine intake and IQ among school children in Port...
Carvalho, Irene P.; Peixoto, Bruno; Caldas, José Carlos; Costa, Ana; Silva, Sofia; Moreira, Bárbara; Almeida, Agostinho; Moreira-Rosário, AndréThe 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. Morning urine iodine concentrations, corrected for creatinine, w...
