Chrono-nutrition Studies on Metabolic Diseases

Chrono-biology, chrono-pharmacology, and chrono-nutrition.

The circadian clock system in mammals drives many physiological processes including the daily rhythms of sleep-wake behavior, hormonal secretion, and metabolism. This system responds to daily environmental changes, such as the light-dark cycle, food intake, and drug administration. In this review, we focus on the central and peripheral circadian clock systems in response to drugs, food, and nut...

Studies on Bacterial Nutrition

1. Certain anaerobic bacteria grow under aerobic conditions in plain broth in the presence of sterile unheated plant tissue. 2. Aerobic growth of anaerobic bacteria under the above conditions may be related to the presence of growth-accessory substances, and to the action of oxidizing-reducing systems of plant tissue in the destruction of toxic peroxides of bacterial origin.

Studies on Bacteriophage and Metabolic Identification of Brucella Strains

[An overview of studies on nutrition and neglected diseases in Brazil].

The objective of this paper is to review the literature on the relationship between nutrition and neglected infectious disease in Brazilian populations, in particular Chagas' Disease, malaria, schistosomiasis and visceral leishmaniasis. The literature review was performed in January 2010 by searching the databases SciELO, LILACS and Medline. Two-hundred and ninety-three abstracts were retrieved...
