Marcelo Freitas Montenegro

Marcelo Freitas Montenegro is a Researcher at the Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute, Stockholm University. His work focuses on cardiovascular pharmacology, particularly the alternative Nitrate-Nitrite-Nitric oxide pathway and its role in vascular health.

Current research explores leveraging adrenoreceptor signaling for diabetes and hypertension treatments. His studies include the therapeutic potential of sodium nitrite in preeclampsia models, demonstrating its ability to restore nitric oxide bioavailability and vascular function. This aligns with broader investigations into ischemia-related vascular pathologies.
