    • Abnormalities in Metalloproteinase Pathways and IGF-I Axis: A Link Between Birth Weight, Hypertension, and Vascular Damage in Childhood 

      Sesso, Ricardo de Castro Cintra [UNIFESP]; Franco, Maria do Carmo Pinho [UNIFESP] (Nature Publishing Group, 2010-01-01)
      BACKGROUNDAlthough numerous studies suggest an inverse relationship between birth weight and cardiovascular disease, the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon is not fully understood. Here, we postulate that alterations in ...

      Batista, Elice Carneiro; Carvalho, Luiz Roberto; Casarini, Dulce Elena [UNIFESP]; Carmona, Adriana Karaoglanovic; Santos, Edson Lucas dos; Silva, Elton Dias da; Santos, Robson Augusto dos; Nakaie, Clovis Ryuichi; Munoz Rojas, Maria Veronica; Oliveira, Suzana Macedo de; Bader, Michael; D'Almeida, Vania [UNIFESP]; Martins, Ana Maria [UNIFESP]; Souza, Kely de Picoly; Pesquero, Joao Bosco [UNIFESP] (Springer, 2011-01-01)
      Fabry disease is a multisystem X-linked disorder resulting from alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-GalA) gene mutations leading to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide mainly in endothelium compromising heart, kidney, and ...

    • Albuminuria, renal function and blood pressure in undernourished children and recovered from undernutrition 

      Martins, Vinicius J. B.; Sesso, Ricardo [UNIFESP]; Clemente, Ana P. G.; Fernandes, Mariana B. F. [UNIFESP]; Sawaya, Ana L. [UNIFESP] (Springer, 2017)
      Background The objective of this study was to investigate some biomarkers of renal function and blood pressure in children who had recovered from undernutrition. Methods This was cross-sectional, comparative study in which ...
