Dr. Luiz Fernando Freire Royes has experience in Biochemistry acting on the following subjects: experimental models of seizures e Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Moreover the Biochemistry of Exercise Laboratory coordinated by Dr. Royes, aims to investigate the morphological, neurochemical and behavioral alterations elicited by ergogenic compounds as well as the influence of Physical
Exercise on the course of neurological disorders as epilepsy and TBI. In order to clarify the mechanism of action of novel substances and to discover new drug targets, studies are be enhanced with biochemical studies, including leukocyte migration studies, radioligand binding, impact on selected enzyme activities and dosage of chemical mediators and morphological and electrophysiological measures such as electroencephalographic (EEG) and telemetric assay.
