Overview

Lício A. Velloso is affiliated with the State University of Campinas in Brazil and has a research focus primarily within the field of Medicine. Their scientific contributions span several subfields, including Physiology, Infectious Diseases, Molecular Biology, Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, and Epidemiology.

The main topics of their research include adipose tissue and metabolism, COVID-19 clinical research studies, regulation of appetite and obesity, adipokines, inflammation, and metabolic diseases, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, long-term effects of COVID-19, and diet and metabolism studies.

Frequent co-authors of Velloso include:

  • Eliana P. Araújo
  • Joseane Morari
  • Bruna Bombassaro
  • Eli Mansour
  • Carlos Poblete Jara

Velloso's work has been widely disseminated across multiple publication venues. These include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • Scientific Reports
  • Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • SSRN Electronic Journal

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Velloso encompass research on the interaction between metabolism and infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Notable publications include:

  • "Elevated Glucose Levels Favor SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Monocyte Response through a HIF-1α/Glycolysis-Dependent Axis," 2020, Cell Metabolism
  • "Elevated Glucose Levels Favor SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Monocyte Response through a HIF-1α/Glycolysis-Dependent Axis," 2020, Cell Metabolism (distinct paper with a similar title)
  • "Hippocampal Function Is Impaired by a Short-Term High-Fat Diet in Mice: Increased Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability and Neuroinflammation as Triggering Events," 2021, Frontiers in Neuroscience
