O território conquistado pela habitação social no Recife entre 1964 e 2018: sol...
Amorim, TâniaA habitação social é um tema contemporâneo que reflete uma condição socioeconômica do capitalismo no território, decorrente de circunstâncias incompletas de determinadas categorias sociais de adquirir a moradia sem a intervenção direta do poder público, por um lado, e de outro a habitação social se insere nas questões urbanas como um item indispensável do planeamento da cidade. Como fenômeno contemporâneo, é um...
Pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents versus bovine colostrum suppleme...
Kydonaki, Eirini K.; Freitas, Laura; Reguengo, Henrique; Simón, Carlos Raposo; Bastos, Ana Raquel Fernandes; Fernandes, Emanuel MoutaOsteoporosis is defined by loss of bone mass and deteriorated bone microarchitecture. The present study compared the effects of available pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents for osteoporosis [alendronate (ALE) and concomitant supplementation of vitamin D (VD) and calcium (Ca)] with the effects of bovine colostrum (BC) supplementation in ovariectomized (OVX) and orchidectomized (ORX) rats. Seven-month...
O treino intensivo pode levar ao aumento de dano oxidativo no ADN em bailarinos...
Esteves, Filipa; Teixeira, Eduardo; Amorim, Tânia; Costa, Carla; Madureira, Joana; Teixeira, João Paulo; Costa, SolangeA prática de exercício físico é imprescindível para a manutenção de um estilo de vida saudável. No entanto, quando praticado acima de uma determinada intensidade e duração, este pode levar à produção excessiva de espécies reativas de oxigénio e consequentemente à indução de stress oxidativo; este, por sua vez, pode desencadear alterações em diversas estruturas biológicas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o d...
Associations between nutrition, energy expenditure and energy availability with...
Amorim, Tânia; Freitas, Laura; Metsios, George S.; Thayse, Natacha Gomes; Wyon, Matthew; Flouris, Andreas D.; Maia, José; Marques, FranklimThree years of study showed that female and male vocational dancers displayed lower bone mass compared to controls, at forearm, lumbar spine and femoral neck. Energy intake was found to positively predict bone mass accruals only in female dancers at femoral neck. Vocational dancers can be a risk population to develop osteoporosis.
Endocrine parameters in association with bone mineral accrual in young female v...
Amorim, Tânia; Metsios, George S.; Flouris, Andreas D.; Nevill, Alan; Gomes, Thayse N.; Wyon, Matthew; Marques, Franklim; Nogueira, LuisaLess is known on bone mass gains in dancers involved in vocational dance training. The present study found that, as young vocational dancers progress on their professional training, their bone health remains consistently lower compared to non- exercising controls. Endocrine mechanisms do not seem to explain these findings.
Assessment of DNA damage in a group of professional dancers during a 10-month d...
Esteves, Filipa; Teixeira, Eduardo; Amorim, Tânia; Costa, Carla; Pereira, Cristiana Costa; Fraga, Sónia; Moraes de Andrade, VanessaDespite the numerous health benefits of physical activity, some studies reported that increased intensity and duration may induce oxidative stress in several cellular components including DNA. The aim of this study was to assess the level of basal DNA damage as well as oxidative DNA damage in a group of professional dancers before and after a 10-month dancing season. A group of individuals from general populati...

Esteves, Filipa; Teixeira, Eduardo; Amorim, Tânia; Costa, Carla; Pereira, Cristiana Costa; Fraga, Sónia; Moraes de Andrade, VanessaIntroduction: Professional dance is an activity with high artistic and physical demands. Requires physical athletic attributes such as muscular strength, endurance, coordination, agility and swiftness. Regular physical activity brings a lot of positive health-related outcomes. Reduce the risk of numerous health disorders like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, bone and joint diseases and i...
Genetic variants at the Wnt/[beta]-catenin and oestrogen receptor signalling pa...
Amorim, Tânia; Durães, Cecília; Maia, José; Machado, José Carlos; Nogueira, Luísa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Flouris, Andreas D.; Metsios, George S.Research suggests that dancers are at higher risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the general population. However, the associated factors contributing to low BMD in dancers are not fully understood. We aimed to assess the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Wnt/b-catenin and oestrogen receptor (ER) signalling pathways with low BMD in dancers.
