Adipocyte size and function in the epididymal and inguinal fat depots [PDF]
Nearly 60% of the worlds adult population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030. The prevalence of obesity- related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), has increased markedly in the past decades.

Role of Membrane Cholesterol in Modulating Actin Architecture and Cellular Contractility [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that initiates with accumulation of apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins (LPs) in the subendothelium (intima), especially in areas where the laminar flow is disturbed.

Caveolae, Fenestrae and Transendothelial Channels Retain PV1 on the Surface of Endothelial Cells [PDF]
PV1 protein is an essential component of stomatal and fenestral diaphragms, which are formed at the plasma membrane of endothelial cells (ECs), on structures such as caveolae, fenestrae and transendothelial channels. Knockout of PV1 in mice results in in

Caveolin-1 as a promoter of tumour spreading: when, how, where and why. [PDF]
Caveolae are non-clathrin invaginations of the plasma membrane in most cell types; they are involved in signalling functions and molecule trafficking, thus modulating several biological functions, including cell growth, apoptosis and angiogenesis.

Pré-eclâmpsia: avaliação de aspectos fisiopatológicos e clínicos [PDF]
Pre-eclampsia is one of the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Although some etiological factors such as poor placentation, endothelial dysfunction, excessive maternal inflammation, poor angiogenesis, and placental hypoxia have been proposed,

The unfavorable lipid environment reduced caveolin-1 expression in apical membranes from human preeclamptic placentas [PDF]
Syncytialization process is associated with a reduction in the number of caveolas, and a decreased of caveolin-1 (Cav-1). Differentiation of syncytiotrophoblast affects the membranes phospholipid composition.
