From Acid Activation Mechanisms of Proton Conduction to Design of Inhibitors of the M2 Proton Channel of Influenza A Virus
With an estimated 1 billion people affected across the globe, influenza is one of the most serious health concerns worldwide. Therapeutic treatments have encompassed a number of key functional viral proteins, mainly focused ...
Sport Nutrition Knowledge, Attitudes, Sources of Information, and Dietary Habits of Sport-Team Athletes
Nutrition knowledge (NK) is one of several factors needed to establish proper eating habits and is especially important for athletes. The aims of this study were the following: to assess the NK of athletes from the Fútbol ...
Oleacein Intestinal Permeation and Metabolism in Rats Using an In Situ Perfusion Technique
Oleacein (OLEA) is one of the most important phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil in terms of concentration and health-promoting properties, yet there are insufficient data on its absorption and metabolism. Several ...
Non-HDL-cholesterol and C-reactive protein in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Background: To what extent high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is associated with known cardiovascular risk factors in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has not been fully explored. Methods: Forty-two T1D children ...
GH levels and insulin sensitivity are differently associated with biomarkers of cardiovascular disease in active acromegaly
Context: Acromegaly is characterized by GH excess and insulin resistance. It is not known which of these disorders is responsible for the increased atherogenic risk in these patients. Objective: To analyse the associations ...
Evaluation of Packaging Effects on the Phenolic Profile andSensory Characteristics of Extra Virgin Olive Oil During StorageUsing Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Mass Spectrometry
The health benefits of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), including improved cardiovascular health and metabolic function, are linked to its phenolic content. This study evaluated how storage duration and packaging affect the ...
Increased Dihydroceramide/ceramide ratio mediated by defective expression of degs1 impairs adipocyte differentiation and function.
Adipose tissue dysfunction is an important determinant of obesity-associated, lipid-induced metabolic complications. Ceramides are well-known mediators of lipidinduced insulin resistance in peripheral organs such as muscle. ...
New synthetic inhibitors of fatty acid synthase with anticancer activity
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a lipogenic enzyme that is highly expressed in different human cancers. Here we report the development of a new series of polyphenolic compounds 5-30 that have been evaluated for their cytotoxic ...
Hidrocarburs aromàtics policíclics en oli de sansa o de pinyolada d'oliva i altres aliments
Aquest article revisa amb la perspectiva d'avui els fets i els arguments que van motivar el 2001 l'alerta alimentària decretada pel Ministeri de Sanitat i Consum, i que va desencadenar la retirada del mercat de l'oli de ...
Structural and functional properties of Antarctic fish cytoglobins-1: Cold-reactivity in multi-ligand reactions
While the functions of the recently discovered cytoglobin, ubiquitously expressed in vertebrate tissues, remain uncertain, Antarctic fish provide unparalleled models to study novel protein traits that may arise from cold ...
The Rate of Histamine Degradation by Diamine Oxidase Is Compromised by Other Biogenic Amines
Nowadays, certain uncertainties related to the onset of histamine adverse effects remain unsolved and still require further research. Questions still to be resolved include the wide range of doses at which dietary histamine ...
The mediterranean diet pattern and its main components are associated with lower plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor receptor 60 in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease
Adherence to aMediterranean diet (MD) is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease. However, themolecular mechanisms involved are not fully understood. The aim of this studywas to compare the effects of 2MD ...
Seguridad y riesgo de toxicidad de los alimentos: un debate actual
El progreso científico y tecnológico ha tenido muchas consecuencias beneficiosas para la humanidad pero también conlleva riesgos. Un ámbito en el que estos dos aspectos de la cuestión se manifiestan más claramente es el ...
Validity and reliability of the facility list coder, a new tool to evaluate community food environments
A community food environment plays an essential role in explaining the healthy lifestyle patterns of its community members. However, there is a lack of compelling quantitative approaches to evaluate these environments. ...

Diamine oxidase (DAO) supplement reduces headache in episodic migraine patients with DAO deficiency: A randomized double-blind trial
Background & Aims: Histamine intolerance is a disorder in the homeostasis of histamine due to a reduced intestinal degradation of this amine, mainly caused by a deficiency in the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO). Among histamine ...
Rat insulin turnover in vivo
Zucker lean and obese rats were injected under pentobarbital anesthesia with 125I-labeled insulin; at timed intervals from 30 to 120 sec, blood samples were extracted and used for the estimation of insulin levels by RIA. ...
Body Image Satisfaction, Food Consumption, Diet Quality, and Emotional Management in Adolescence: A Longitudinal Analysis from the SI! Program for Secondary Schools Trial
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 ...
Polymorphisms cyclooxygenase-2 -765G>C and interleukin-6 -174G>C are associated with serum inflammation markers in a high cardiovascular risk population and do not modify the response to a Mediterranean diet supplemented with virgin olive oil or nuts
Inflammation is involved in cardiovascular diseases. Some studies have found that the Mediterranean diet (MD) can reduce serum concentrations of inflammation markers. However, none of these studies have analyzed the influence ...
Do the interactions between glucocorticoids and sex hormones regulate the development of the metabolic syndrome?
The metabolic syndrome is basically a maturity-onset disease. Typically, its manifestations begin to flourish years after the initial dietary or environmental aggression began. Since most hormonal, metabolic, or defense ...
