A Obesidade Infantil é considerada uma verdadeira epidemia mundial, constituindo um preocupante desafio para todos os profissionais de saúde. A obesidade no período da infância e da adolescência aumenta a probabilidade de obesidade na vida adulta, estando associada ao desenvolvimento de doenças crónicas, que podem comprometer a qualidade de vida destes, representando, atualmente, uma prioridade para os sistemas...
The red alga Gelidium corneum is commonly harvested for agar extraction, producing significant biomass residue that remains underutilized. Gelidium corneum and its residue represent promising sources of high-value compounds, including lipid ingredients, encompassing omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, with potential applications in foods and cosmetics. Algae lipids are quite diverse and complex, ho...
Dunaliella salina is a green microalga extensively explored for β-carotene production, while knowledge of its lipid composition is still limited and poorly investigated. Among lipids, polar lipids have been highlighted as bioactive phytochemicals with health-promoting properties. This research aimed to provide an in-depth lipidome profiling of D. salina using liquid and gas chromatography coupled with mass spec...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease of the catabolism of phenylalanine (Phe), caused by an impaired function of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Therapeutics is based on the restriction of Phe intake, which mostly requires a modification of the diet. Dietary restrictions can lead to imbalances in specific nutrients, including lipids. In the present study, the plasma phospholipidome of PKU and healthy childr...
A partir da análise da importância dada aos relatórios sociais para determinação da sanção elaborados pela Direcção-Geral de Reinserção Social, o objectivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar como os juízes fundamentam a motivação das decisões de sentença. Através de uma metodologia qualitativa baseada na análise de conteúdo de sentenças no âmbito criminal, pudemos identificar três tipos de argumentos usados pe...
