🌟 Entendendo o Coração de uma Mãe 🌟

É com entusiasmo que partilho o nosso recente manuscrito "O Coração Materno Exibe Adaptações Metabólicas e de Redox após uma Gravidez sem Complicações" na Biochimica et Biophysica Acta – Molecular Basis of Disease!

Este estudo contribui para a compreensão da saúde cardiovascular materna, destacando "as marcas moleculares" que a gravidez deixa no coração materno, as quais podem ser cruciais na avaliação de riscos cardiovasculares futuros em mães.
