Background: This study evaluated the expression of ACE and ACE2 in the placenta and white adipose tissue in lean and obese women, and correlated their levels with anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory parameters, and tissue count of inflammatory cells.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed with 49 pregnant women and their respective newborns. Samples of placenta and adipose tissue were used for measuring mRNA expression for ACE and ACE2 through qRT-PCR.

Article Synopsis
- * Resveratrol, a compound known for its beneficial effects on metabolism, was studied to see how it affects thermogenesis markers in brown adipose tissue and various body parameters in female mice after oophorectomy (removal of ovaries).
- * After 12 weeks, resveratrol supplementation resulted in lower body weight, reduced fat levels, lower glucose and cholesterol, and improved hormonal balance, indicating its potential to enhance metabolic health in this context.

To evaluate the effects of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) irradiation on the expression of thermogenesis and lipogenesis-associated markers in adipose tissue and metabolic parameters of obese mice. Twenty-four male mice were divided into four groups: i) ST fed standard diet; ii) HCD fed hyperglycemic diet; iii) LED + I fed hyperglycemic diet and irradiated with LED in the interscapular region; iv) LED + A fed hyperglycemic diet and irradiated with LED in the abdominal region. The first phase of the study comprehended the induction of obesity for 12 weeks.
