Parental Fructose Overconsumption Boosts Offspring’s Disease Risk
Publicado em 15 de fevereiro de 2024
Offspring of rats that consume excessive amounts of fructose develop disturbances in the autonomic nervous, cardiovascular and metabolic systems at an early age, increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity in adulthood, according to a study conducted by Brazilian scientists. An article on the study is published in the International Journal of Obesity.
The findings confirm information in the scientific literature regarding the appearance of metabolic disorders such as [...]

Study finds unbalanced response worsens lung infections
Publicado em 08 fevereiro 2024CD4+ T cells have been highlighted in the scientific literature for the important role they play in the immune response to lung infections. However, an article published in the journal Cell Reports shows that an imbalance in the volumes of these defense cells in different parts of the lung in response to infection can do more harm than good. The study described in the article involved infecting mice with hypervirulent tuberculosis and influenza. The authors [...]ver notícia -
CPAP therapy can mitigate telomere shortening in sleep apnea patients
Publicado em 24 agosto 2023Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) consists of multiple episodes of partial or complete closure of the upper airway that occur during sleep, leading to breathing cessation lasting more than ten seconds and sometimes even several minutes, followed by arousals and deep breathing. Symptoms include lack of concentration, fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness, all of which lower the quality of life and can be incapacitating. Untreated patients are at risk for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, [...]ver notícia -
Study associates sleep apnea in babies with increased risk of hypertension in adulthood
Publicado em 01 junho 2023Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives. Research by scientists at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil shows for the first time that hypertension in these cases is caused by dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary [...]ver notícia -
Sleep Apnea in Babies Linked to Higher Adult Hypertension Risk
Publicado em 31 maio 2023Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives.

Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids linked to newborn mortality and respiratory problems
Publicado em 26 abril 2023Consumption of cannabis (marijuana) or derivatives during pregnancy can cause respiratory problems for the baby, such as impaired control of breathing and diminished sensitivity to carbon dioxide, both of which favor sudden infant death syndrome. These are the main findings of a study conducted in Brazil and reported in an article published in the British Journal of Pharmacology. The authors are researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the University of São Paulo [...]ver notícia -
Physical exercise boosts beneficial cardiovascular effects of losartan in men with high blood pressure
Publicado em 23 junho 2022Aerobic exercise increases the effectiveness of the drug losartan for patients with high blood pressure, in particular improving autonomic regulation of the heart and contributing to proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. This is one of the main findings of a study involving male volunteers conducted at the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP) in Brazil. The researchers showed that walking for 45 minutes three times a week improved [...]ver notícia -
Transcranial stimulation lowers blood pressur
Publicado em 08 junho 2022Many research groups are trying to find non-pharmacological solutions to help control resistant hypertension, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could be an option, according to a study recently reported in an article published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. Resistant or refractory hypertension is high blood pressure that does not respond to aggressive medical treatment, defined as daily administration of at least three classes of [...]ver notícia -

Mild, Moderate COVID-19 Can Affect Cardiovascular System in Young Adults, Study Shows
Publicado em 13 abril 2022Investigators followed men and women aged 20 to 40 years without pre-existing disease, and findings indicate that obesity and physical inactivity increase the impact of the disease. Even mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause an imbalance in the cardiovascular system of young adults without pre-existing diseases, the results of a new study showed. In addition, the study results showed that both a low level of physical activity and obesity are key factors after COVID-19 that may [...]ver notícia
