Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alessandra F Moura"
Alessandra F Moura's research primarily focuses on the impacts of undernutrition and enteric infections in early childhood, particularly in the context of Brazilian children, aiming to identify biomarkers that predict health outcomes.
One of her notable studies, published in 2016, explores the relationship between urinary metabolites (specifically N-methylnicotinamide and β-aminoisobutyric acid) and catch-up growth among undernourished children, shedding light on possible metabolic markers for identifying at-risk populations.
The findings highlight critical differences in metabolic phenotypes between nourished and undernourished children, contributing to the understanding of mechanisms behind child health outcomes and informing potential interventions to mitigate risks associated with undernutrition.
