Os não-fumadores expostos ao fumo do cigarro passivo ou, simplesmente fumo passivo (FP), apresentam um risco acrescido de desenvolver diversas doenças graves. No entanto, os mecanismos moleculares que explicam estes efeitos continuam pouco esclarecidos, o que reforça a necessidade de identificar biomarcadores capazes de avaliar o risco associado a esta exposição. Neste estudo, analisámos o proteoma do epitélio ...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent-episodes of apneas/hypopneas during sleep, leading to recurrent intermittent-hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. Non-treated OSA can result in cardiometabolic diseases. In this study, we applied a shotgun-proteomics strategy to deeper investigate the red blood cell-(RBC) homeostasis regulation in the context of OSA-severity and their response to six month...
Chronic exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) contributes to the development of health issues, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Molecular mechanisms underlying SHS-related diseases remain poorly understood, highlighting the need for reliable risk assessment biomarkers. Herein, we demonstrate that the plasma proteome of individuals exposed to SHS undergoes significant modulation. Butyrylcholinesterase...

Objective: Chronic exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) increases the risk of developing tobacco-related pathologies such as lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to identify potential protein biomarkers for response and risk assessment of SHS exposure. Methods: A shotgun proteomics approach was employed to analyse protein expression profiles in nasal epithelium and plasma samples from health...

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. The diagnosis of acute VTE is still based on complex imaging exams due to the lack of biomarkers. However, studies assessing the diagnostic capacity of novel biomarkers in VTE are scarce. We aimed to determine if patients with acute VTE have differences in the proteomics/metabolomic profile. This observational trial included 62 patient...
Background and aims: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. The diagnosis of acute VTE is still based on complex imaging exams due to the lack of biomarkers. However, studies assessing the diagnostic capacity of novel metabolomics biomarkers in VTE are scarce. Our aim was to determine whether patients with acute VTE exhibit differences in proteomic and metabolomic profiles.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. The diagnosis of acute VTE is based on complex imaging exams due to the lack of biomarkers. Recent multi-omics based research has contributed to the development of novel biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to determine whether patients with acute VTE have differences in the metabolomic profile compared to non...
