Characteristics of Non-Therapeutic Pregabalin Users Detected by a Community Pharmacies Network in a Region of Southern Europe
Background: Since 2008, several cases of pregabalin abuse have been reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). Despite this evidence, gabapentinoids are increasingly being prescribed. ...
Determination and Comparison of the Lipid Profile and Sodium Content of Gluten-Free and Gluten-Containing Breads from the Spanish Market
The objective is to verify if gluten-free (GF) and gluten-containing (G) breads differ in their sodium content and lipid profile. Samples of GF (n=20) and G (n=14) sliced white sandwich bread of commercial brands most ...
Exploring the Molecular Pathways Behind the Effects of Nutrients and Dietary Polyphenols on Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Permeability: A Perspective on the Potential of Metabolomics and Future Clinical Applications.
The gut microbiota is involved in the regulation of the intestinal permeability (IP), whose disruption is a frequent condition in older people and is associated with the development of several diseases. The diet can affect ...
Nutrimetabolomics: An Integrative Action for Metabolomic Analyses in Human Nutritional Studies
The life sciences are currently being transformed by an unprecedented wave of developments in molecular analysis, which include important advances in instrumental analysis as well as biocomputing. In light of the central ...
The relationship between urinary total polyphenols and the frailty phenotype in a community-dwelling older population: the InCHIANTI study.
Background. Frailty, an age-related state of increased vulnerability, is associated with a higher risk of multiple adverse events. Studies have suggested that the quality of dietary intake may affect the development of ...

NMR Spectroscopy: A powerful tool for the analysis of polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), a key component of the Mediterranean Diet, has aroused interest in recent years due to its health properties. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an appropriate tool for the ...
Comparative metabolitefingerprinting of legumes using LC-MS-baseduntargeted metabolomics
Legumes are a well-known source of phytochemicals and are commonly believed to have similar composition between different genera. To date, there are no studies evaluating changes in legumes to discover those compounds that ...
Virgin olive oil volatile fingerprint and chemometrics: Towards an instrumental screening tool to grade the sensory quality
Sensory quality, assessed following a standardized method, is one of the parameters defining the commercial category of virgin olive oil. Considering the difficulties linked to the organoleptic evaluation, especially the ...
A setup to measure the temperature-dependent heating power of magnetically heated nanoparticles up to high temperature.
Magnetic heating, namely, the use of heat released by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) excited with a high-frequency magnetic field, has so far been mainly used for biological applications. More recently, it has been shown ...
Changes in the Volatile Profile of Wheat Sourdough Produced with the Addition of Cava Lees
The volatile fraction is of great importance for the organoleptic quality and consumer acceptance of bread. The use of sourdough improves the sensory profile of bread, as well as the addition of new ingredients to the ...
In vitro determination of diamine oxidase activity in food matrices by an enzymatic assay coupled to UHPLC-FL.
Intestinal diamine oxidase (DAO) acts as a protective barrier against exogenous histamine. A deficit of DAO activity can lead to the appearance of histamine intolerance, a clinical condition that may be treated by a ...
Quantitative Dietary Fingerprinting (QDF)-A Novel Tool for Comprehensive Dietary Assessment Based on Urinary Nutrimetabolomics
Accurate dietary assessment is a challenge in nutritional research, needing powerful and robust tools for reliable measurement of food intake biomarkers. In this work, we have developed a novel quantitative dietary ...
Fatty acid digestibility in gilthead sea bream fed diets containing native, re-esterified or acid vegetable oils.
Re-esterified vegetable oils are obtained from a chemical esterification reaction between vegetable acid oils and glycerol. Due to their properties, it is expected that they have a higher nutritive value than their ...
The effect of maternal obesity on breast milk fatty acids and its association with infant growth and cognition-The Preobe follow-up
This study analyzed how maternal obesity a ected fatty acids (FAs) in breast milk and their association with infant growth and cognition to raise awareness about the programming e ect of maternal health and to promote a ...
Human hydroxytyrosol's absorption and excretion from a nutraceutical
Among the various (poly)phenols that are being sold as such or as part of a more complex mixture, hydroxytyrosol (HT) is the only one that bears a European Food Safety Authority health claim. Therefore, several HT-based ...
SPME-GC-MS and chemometrics for coffee characterization, classification and authentication
In recent decades, the complexity of the food chain has contributed to a surge of food adulteration issues, resulting in numerous instances of food fraud. For this reason, ensuring the authenticity of food is crucial for ...
Polyamines in Food
The polyamines spermine, spermidine, and putrescine are involved in various biological processes, notably in cell proliferation and differentiation, and also have antioxidant properties. Dietary polyamines have important ...
Untargeted profiling of concordant/discordant phenotypes of high insulin resistance and obesity to predict the risk of developing diabetes
This study explores the metabolic profiles of concordant/discordant phenotypes of high insulin resistance (IR) and obesity. Through untargeted metabolomics (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS), we analyzed the fasting serum of subjects with ...
