OverviewAI-generated summary
Larissa Leandro da Cruz's research investigates the influence of phytochemicals and food components on metabolic health and disease mechanisms. Her work has explored the ameliorative effects of plant-derived compounds on insulin resistance and oxidative stress, particularly concerning the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Da Cruz has also examined the role of gut microbiota-associated metabolites in metabolic diseases and the impact of food processing on these factors. Her publications include studies on phenolic compounds in various plant sources, their antioxidant activities, and their effects on biological systems, such as blood pressure regulation in rats. Additionally, her research has touched upon body composition, metabolic syndrome components in adolescents, and the development of specialized food formulations for children. She has published 19 papers, accumulating 511 citations, with an h-index of 7. Da Cruz collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Aline Andres and Sarah Sobik.
