Renato Helios Migliorini (born June 26, 1926, in Jaú, died January 16, 2008, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil) was a Brazilian physician, biomedical scientist, biochemist and full professor of physiology at the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto of the University of São Paulo. Migliorini graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo in 1949. He obtained a doctorate with his animal research work on the role of estrogens in diabetes. In 1953, he was hired as full-time instructor in the recently founded Department of Physiology of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, where he worked until very shortly before his death at 82 years of age. He did his postdoctoral studies at UCLA on a scholarship from the Rockefeller Foundation from 1959 to 1960. ==Academic work== As a researcher, Dr. Migliorini had a strong focus on the physiology of the endocrine system and biochemical physiology,〔Quintão, E.C.R. In Memory. Professor Renato Helios Migliorini, pioneiro na investigação em ácidos graxos. ''Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab'' vol.52 no.3 São Paulo April 2008. (DOI )〕 and within this framework established a strong and active laboratory, which explored many areas, such as neural regulation of fatty acids and glucose, the effects of fasting and feeding on metabolism of brown adipose tissue and liver functions, the protein metabolism in skeletal muscle, the interactions of dietary protein and glucose in glycolysis in adipose tissue, exposure to cold and drugs, as well as the role and function of gluconeogenesis in strictly carnivorous animals, such as vultures. He published more than a hundred papers in noted international journals, particularly in the American Journal of Physiology. He was one of the most cited Brazilian biomedical researchers. He was nominated a Commander of the Brazilian Order of Scientific Merit and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, among other distinctions and awards. Among his many administrative duties in the university, Migliorini was the deputy director of the Medical School and Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) of the University of São Paulo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renato Migliorini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
