Bitter taste receptors: Key target to understand the effects of polyphenols on glucose and body weight homeostasis. Pathophysiological and pharmacological implications
Experimental and clinical research has reported beneficial effects of polyphenol intake on high prevalent diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. These phytochemicals are ligands of taste 2 receptors (T2Rs) that have ...
Exploring the Impact of Pitch-Coated Pottery on Wine Composition: Metabolomics Characterization of an Ancient Technique
In recent years, wine producers have increasingly experimented with ancient fermentation and ageing techniques, such as the use of ceramic containers or pitch-coated amphorae. Despite growing interest in these traditional ...
Drugs from Drugs: New Chemical Insights into a Mature Concept
Developing new drugs from marketed ones is a well-established and successful approach in drug discovery. We offer a unified view of this field, focusing on the new chemical aspects of the involved approaches: (a) chemical ...
Search for biomarkers for the LC-ESI-QqQ determination of Phenoxymethylpenicillin treatment in raw and cooked chicken meat samples
The high standards required for food safety make it necessary to trace unambiguously raw or cooked food products coming from medicated animals. Nevertheless, considering the lability of β-lactams and their degradation, the ...
Effect of diverse cooking treatments on enrofloxacin residues and its metabolites in chicken tissues by LC-MS
Although safety delays are established in the introduction into the market of the products derived from medicated animals, residues of drugs and their metabolites may remain in the edible meat and reach the food chain. In ...
Knowledge and perceptions of food sustainability in a Spanish university population
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core. Besides tackling climate change and the fight to reduce inequality, the SDG number ...
Compartir ideas. La Universidad va al Instituto: un proyecto de aprendizaje- servicio transversal de la Universidad de Barcelona
Compartir ideas. La universidad va al instituto es un proyecto de aprendizaje servicio transversal de la Universidad de Barcelona. Este representa una propuesta de aprendizaje servicio que bajo una estructura común permite ...
Associations between Both Lignan and Yogurt Consumption and Cardiovascular Risk Parameters in an Elderly Population: Observations from a Cross-Sectional Approach in the PREDIMED Study
Background The study of dietary patterns is gaining interest. Although the health benefits of yogurt and lignans have been investigated separately, to our knowledge there are no studies on their associative effects.Objective ...
Metabolomic insights into phenolics-rich chestnut shells extract as a nutraceutical ingredient – A comprehensive evaluation of its impacts on oxidative stress biomarkers by an in-vivo study
<p><span style="color:rgb( 46 , 46 , 46 )">The present study attempted for the first time to explore the effects of the daily oral intake of a phenolics-rich extract from chestnut shells (CS) on the metabolomic profiling ...
Meta-analysis of the efficacy of ellagitannin- and anthocyanin-containing products at modifying cardiometabolic biomarkers: factors influencing variability of the individual responses
Understanding interindividual variability in response to dietary polyphenols remains essential to elucidate their effects on cardiometabolic disease development. A meta-analysis of 128 randomized clinical trials was conducted ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of flavanol-containing tea, cocoa and apple products on selected cardiometabolic risk biomarkers: exploring the factors responsible for variability in their efficacy
Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses support the benefits of flavanols on cardiometabolic health, but the factors affecting variability in the responses to these compounds have not been properly ...
Food intake biomarkers for berries and grapes
Grapes and berries are two types of widely consumed fruits characterized by a high content in different phytochemicals. However, their accurate dietary assessment is particularly arduous, because of the already wide ...
Vitamin D Intake and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer: An Updated Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Case-Control and Prospective Cohort Studies
Obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, high red meat consumption and alcohol, and tobacco are considered the driving factors behind colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide. Both diet and lifestyle are recognized to play an important ...
Potential prebiotic effect of Cava Lees: changes in gut microbiota
Lees are a winery by-product with a fiber-rich composition that could have a potential prebiotic effect on gut microbiota. Prebiotics cannot be digested by humans but can be used by bacteria found in the large intestine. ...
Plasma leptin turnover rates in lean and obese Zucker rats
Conscious female adult lean and obese Zucker rats were injected through the jugular vein with radioactive iodine-labeled murine leptin; in the ensuing 8 min, four blood samples were sequentially extracted from the carotid ...
Growth-Promoting Effect of Cava Lees on Lactic Acid Bacteria Strains: A Potential Revalorization Strategy of a Winery By-Product
The growing trend of circular economy has prompted the design of novel strategies for the revalorization of food industry by-products. Cava lees, a winery by-product consisting of non-viable cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...
Biochemical and proteomic analyses of the physiological response induced by individual housing in gilts provide new potential stress markers
BACKGROUND: The objective assessment of animal stress and welfare requires proper laboratory biomarkers. In this work, we have analyzed the changes in serum composition in gilts after switching their housing, from pen to ...
Nutritional regulation of gene expression: carbohydrate-, fat- and amino acid-dependent modulation of transcriptional activity
The ability to detect changes in nutrient levels and generate an adequate response to these changes is essential for the proper functioning of living organisms. Adaptation to the high degree of variability in nutrient ...
Specialized pro-resolvin mediators induce cell growth and improve wound repair in intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell cultures.
Specialized pro-resolvin mediators (SPMs) are a superfamily of bioactive molecules synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acids (arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids) that include resolvins, protectins ...
New and Vintage Solutions to Enhance the Plasma Metabolome Coverage by Single UHPLC-ESI-MS analysis. The Not-So-Simple Process of Method Performance Evaluation in Untargeted Metabolomics
Although LC-MS untargeted metabolomics continues to expand into exiting research domains, methodological issues have not been solved yet by the definition of unbiased, standardized and globally accepted analytical protocols. ...
