PHYSIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY
The lines of research include the study of:
- Mechanisms of regulation of energetic and metabolic homeostasis.
- Inflammation and insulin resistance.
- Metabolic disorders and mitochondrial functionality.
- The role of ROS in response to dietary intervention, physical training and exposure to low temperatures.
- Functional responses to environmental changes.
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain plasticity.
- Function of chaperone proteins and / or markers of inflammation in the brain cholesterol and the beta amyloid metabolism.
- Epigenetics: methylation in the repair of DNA damage; epigenetics in immune tolerance and autoimmunity; chromatin plasticity, transcription and epigenetic modifications.
