Associate professor at the Nutrition Faculty at Fluminense Federal University, responsible for teaching the disciplines, "Nutrition and Dietitian"; "Experimental Nutrition", and "Practices for end-of-course assignments" for undergraduates. I have been working with chronic kidney disease, mainly with the effects of nutrients and food matrix on oxidative stress and inflammation. Mainly projects ongoing in the last 4 years: - Effects of Brazil nuts in a model of chronic kidney disease. - Enteric Nervous System: a new target for a nutritional treatment in chronic kidney disease? - Effects of probiotic-enriched dairy products (Lactobacillus acidophilus La-05) in 5/6 nephrectomized rats. - Impact of aspartame and sucralose consumption on metabolic and intestinal outcomes in a chronic kidney disease animal model.
