The different molecular structure and glycerol-to-fatty acid ratio of palm oils affect their nutritive value in broiler chicken diets
The aim of this study is to assess how the fat molecular structure and its glycerol-to-fatty acid ratio (G : FA) affect the fatty acid (FA) apparent absorption of palm oils in broiler chickens. The experimental diets were ...
Metabolic Impact of Flavonoids Consumption in Obesity: From Central to Peripheral
The prevention and treatment of obesity is primary based on the follow-up of a healthy lifestyle, which includes a healthy diet with an important presence of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols. For many years, the ...
Supporting the Sensory Panel to Grade Virgin Olive Oils: An In-House-Validated Screening Tool by Volatile Fingerprinting and Chemometrics
The commercial category of virgin olive oil is currently assigned on the basis of chemical-physical and sensory parameters following official methods. Considering the limited number of samples that can be analysed daily ...
Legume consumption and CVD risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective: The aim of the present study was to systematically review and perform a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies exploring the association between dietary legume consumption and CVD risk, including CHD and ...
Effects of free-fatty-acid content and saturation degree of the dietary oil sources on lipid-class content and fatty-acid digestibility along the gastrointestinal tract in broilers from 22 to 37 days of age
The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of the free-fatty-acid (FFA) content and saturation degree of dietary fat (added at 6%) on the fatty-acid (FA) digestibility and lipid-class content along the gastrointestinal ...
Ligand Binding Rate Constants in Heme Proteins Using Markov State Models and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Computer simulation studies of the molecular basis for ligand migration in proteins allow the description and quantification of the key events implicated in this process as, such as the transition between docking sites, ...
Using fluorescence excitation-emission matrices to predict bitterness and pungency of virgin olive oil: A feasibility study
Unlike other food products, virgin olive oil must undergo an organoleptic assessment that is currently based on a trained human panel, which presents drawbacks that might affect the efficiency and robustness. Therefore, ...
Cumulative effect of obesogenic behaviours on adiposity in Spanish children and adolescents.
Objective: Little is known about the cumulative effect of obesogenic behaviours on childhood obesity risk. We determined the cumulative effect on BMI z-score, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), overweight and abdominal obesity ...
Bioactive Compounds of Mediterranean Cooked Tomato Sauce (Sofrito) Modulate Intestinal Epithelial Cancer Cell Growth Through Oxidative Stress/Arachidonic Acid Cascade Regulation
Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with a low incidence of colorectal cancer, but the specific dietary constituents involved and mechanisms related to these beneficial effects are still sparse. Sofrito, a traditional ...
Microbiota-derived resveratrol metabolites: new biomarkers of red wine consumption are inversely associated with inflammation in a longitudinal study of a Mediterranean population
Objectives: </strong>To evaluate the association between urinary microbiota-derived resveratrol metabolites, which may serve as specific biomarkers of red wine consumption, and plasma circulating proinflammatory markers.<span ...
Histamine Intolerance: The Current State of the Art
Histamine intolerance, also referred to as enteral histaminosis or sensitivity to dietary histamine, is a disorder associated with an impaired ability to metabolize ingested histamine that was described at the beginning ...
Quantifying the human diet in the crosstalk between nutrition and health by multi-targeted metabolomics of food and microbiota-derived metabolites
Background: Metabolomics is a powerful tool for investigating the association between nutrition and health status. Although urine is commonly employed for studying the metabolism and transformation of food components, the ...
Nutritional regulation of fibroblast growth factor 21: from macronutrients to bioactive dietary compounds
Obesity is a worldwide health problem mainly due to its associated comorbidities. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a peptide hormone involved in metabolic homeostasis in healthy individuals and considered a promising ...
Methods to determine the quality of acid oils and fatty acid distillates used in animal feeding
Acid oils and fatty acid distillates are by-products from the refining of edible oils and fats. They are used as feed ingredients, but their highly variable composition sometimes affects the productive parameters of the ...
Comparative effects of oleoyl-estrone and a specific b3-adrenergic agonist (CL316, 243) on the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism of rat white adipose tissue
Background: The combination of oleoyl-estrone (OE) and a selective b3-adrenergic agonist (B3A; CL316,243) treatment in rats results in a profound and rapid wasting of body reserves (lipid). Methods: In the present study ...
Occurrence of Polyamines in Foods and the Influence of Cooking Processes
Dietary polyamines are involved in different aspects of human health and play an important role in the prevention of certain chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Different polyamines can be found ...
The volatile metabolome — gas chromatography–mass spectrometry approaches in the context of food fraud
<span style="color:rgb( 46 , 46 , 46 )">This work discusses food authentication tools based on the volatile metabolome assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) serve as ...
High TSH and low T4 as prognostic markers in older patients
Objective: To examine the association between thyroid profile and morbidity/mortality (MM) in hospitalized older patients. Design: This is a retrospective study of patients over the age of 60 yr admitted to the Dr. Cesar ...
Impact of Novel Technologies on Virgin Olive Oil Processing, Consumer Acceptance, and the Valorization of Olive Mill Wastes
There is a growing consumer preference for high quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with health‐promoting and sensory properties that are associated with a higher content of phenolic and volatile compounds. To meet this ...
Polyphenol intake and mortality risk: a re-analysis of the PREDIMED trial
Background: Polyphenols may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as their beneficial effects on blood pressure, lipids ...
