Her primary areas of study are Oxidative stress, Mitochondrion, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Diabetes mellitus. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reactive oxygen species, Glutathione and Insulin. Her Mitochondrion study combines topics in areas such as Alzheimer's disease, Disease, Oxidative phosphorylation and Antioxidant.

Her work on Depolarization is typically connected to Adenine nucleotide as part of general Internal medicine study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her Endocrinology study focuses mostly on Streptozotocin and Carbohydrate metabolism. Her work on Type 2 diabetes as part of general Diabetes mellitus research is often related to Repolarization, thus linking different fields of science.

Her most cited work include:

• Doxorubicin: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Effect (585 citations)
• Carvedilol-mediated antioxidant protection against doxorubicin-induced cardiac mitochondrial toxicity (173 citations)
• Insulin is a Two-Edged Knife on the Brain (156 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Mitochondrion, Oxidative stress and Biochemistry. Her study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and topics such as Diabetes mellitus, which overlap with Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase. She combines subjects such as Calcium and Vitamin E with her study of Endocrinology.

Her studies in Mitochondrion integrate themes in fields like Oxidative phosphorylation, Pharmacology and Mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Her work deals with themes such as Disease, Antioxidant and Neuroprotection, which intersect with Oxidative stress. Her Biochemistry research includes elements of Biophysics and Respiration.

She most often published in these fields:

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Maria S. Santos mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Mitochondrion, Insulin and Oxidative stress. Her Internal medicine research includes themes of Liraglutide, Type 2 diabetes and Respiratory chain. Her Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Alzheimer's disease, Antioxidant and Cognitive decline.

Her Mitochondrion research incorporates themes from Pharmacology, Phosphorylation and Mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Her Insulin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Incretin and Tau protein. When carried out as part of a general Oxidative stress research project, her work on Lipid peroxidation and Protein oxidation is frequently linked to work in Estrogen signaling and Adenine nucleotide, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Crosstalk between diabetes and brain: Glucagon-like peptide-1 mimetics as a promising therapy against neurodegeneration (96 citations)
• Pre-diabetes alters testicular PGC1-α/SIRT3 axis modulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative stress (95 citations)
• Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes-related alterations in brain mitochondria, autophagy and synaptic markers (69 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Enzyme
• Internal medicine
• Mitochondrion

Maria S. Santos spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Mitochondrion, Insulin and Type 2 diabetes. Her research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in GSK-3 and Bioinformatics. Many of her research projects under Endocrinology are closely connected to Life quality and Adenine nucleotide with Life quality and Adenine nucleotide, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Her work carried out in the field of Mitochondrion brings together such families of science as Oxidative stress, Respiration and Streptozotocin. Her Oxidative stress study incorporates themes from Respiratory chain, Glutathione-disulfide reductase activity, Mitochondrial respiratory chain and Recurrent hypoglycemia. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Neuroprotection under Insulin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Glucose homeostasis.
