| PhD Student |
|
|
|
| Interests: My work has been focused on the study of two major determinants of nitric oxide dynamics in the rat brain in vivo: nitric oxideconsumption and diffusion; the inter-relation between nitric oxide and oxygen profiles in the brain as a means to assess nitric oxide induced changes in brain bioenergetics.

| PhD Student |
|
|
|
| Interests: The nitrite-to-nitric oxide pathway in the gastric compartment; role of dietary polyphenols as modulators of nitric oxide production under gastric conditions; reactivity of nitrogen oxides (•NO2, N2O3) with gastric biomolecules and the consequences in gastric physiophysiology (digestion and acute gastric ulcers).

| Cassilda Pereira |
| PhD Student |
|
|
|
| Interests: Understand the mechanisms underlying the reaction between the dietary nitrite derived species and macromolecules in the stomach mucosa that lead to molecular modifications like nitrosation. This modification can be involved in signaling processes involved in stomach physiology and pathology, while the gastric mucosa acts as an active bio-filter to the nitrite derived species.
