Orientador: José Rodrigo Pauli; Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Aplicadas; Resumo: A proteína Notch1 apresenta uma importante função no metabolismo hepático, atuando no controle da produção de glicose e no metabolismo lipídico, impactando diretamente nos danos hepáticos causados pela obesidade, tornando-a um importante alvo de pesquisa. Por outro lado, o exercício fís...
Agradecimentos: The authors thank Obesity and Comorbidities Research Center – OCRC and FAPESP (2016/18488-8) and CNPq (306535/2017-3) for all support during the experiment; The obesity is a result of energy imbalance and the increase in thermogenesis seems an interesting alternative for the treatment of this disease. The mechanism of energy expenditure through thermogenesis is tightly articulated in the hypotha...

Orientador: José Rodrigo Pauli; Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Aplicadas; Resumo: Introdução: A adiponectina apresenta uma importante ação na homeostase glicêmica, atuando na captação de glicose e na sensibilidade à insulina. Em nível central, recentemente, foi demonstrado que a adiponectina é capaz de modular a homeostase energética. Nesse sentido, uma das pri...
Abstract: Epidemiological studies indicate continuous increases in the prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in the next few decades. The key feature of this disease is hippocampal neurodegeneration. This structure has an important role in learning and memory. Intense research efforts have sought to elucidate neuroprotective mechanisms responsible for hippocampal integrity. Insulin signaling seems to be a very...
Abstract: Senescence promotes several metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance (IR). It is known that physical exercise is an important non-pharmacological agent in the prevention and treatment of IR and consequently reducing the incidence of T2DM. Rho-kinase (Rock) has been postulated as an important protein that acts directly on the phosphorylation of IRS-1, collaborating up to 50% of glucose uptake ...
