Bioenergetics Lab, Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine

Main research activities/topics/projects

The main research lines of the Bioenergetics Lab focus on the evaluation of the biological effects exerted by different bioactive compounds present in many food matrices in several in vitro (fibroblasts, breast/colon/liver cancer cells, macrophages, adipocytes), ex vivo (red blood cells and white blood cells) and in vivo (mice, rats and humans) experimental models. Targeted diseases are those related with oxidative stress and inflammation, such as aging, cancer, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, with the aim to highlight the molecular mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects exerted by these food matrices.
