Determinantes sociais, biológicos e históricos da epidemia de HIV/AIDS no Brasil e no mundo

Sinopse Em 1989, o historiador estadunidense Stephen Richards Graubard (1924-2021) escreveu um prefácio inquietante para introduzir os dois números temáticos da revista Daedalus, da qual ele foi editor por anos. Graubard (1989) inicia destacando que, passado quase uma década da emergência da AIDS, ainda era preciso se ter acesso à uma literatura que promovesse um debate mais qualificado.

O texto é composto por inúmeras e relevantes questões, cujo escopo abrange um largo escopo disciplinar e institucional. Ele traça um panorama extensivo que ...

Polyphenols are a heterogeneous group of bioactive compounds mainly found in plant-based foods. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have led to the result that polyphenol intake may protect against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, or type 2 diabetes, to name some. Polyphenol intake estimation can be obtained through food frequency questionnaires and nutritional biomarkers, both having their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the association between these bioactive compounds and health seems irrefutable, many questions remain still unanswered. For instance, more studies are needed to identify possible interactions and effect-modulating variables, such as smoking habit, body mass index, sex, alcohol, hormones, other foods, etc. Moreover, intestinal microbiota seems to play an important role in the metabolism of polyphenols, but it is still unclear how.
