Beer-Derived (Poly)phenol Metabolism in Individuals With and Without Metabolic Syndrome: A Comparative Dietary Intervention
The consumption of low-alcohol fermented beverages has been related to cardiovascular health improvements. Although the underlying mechanism is not completely understood, (poly)phenols have been proposed as one of the ...
Activities of amino acid metabolizing enzymes in the stomach and small intestitine of developing rats
The activities of aspartate and alanine transaminase, serine dehydratase, arginase, glutamate dehydrogenase, adenylate deaminase and glutamine synthetase were determined in the stomach and small intestine of developing ...
La Facultat de Farmàcia ha canviat de nom
Fa poc i de forma relativament discreta, s'ha produït un fet important per a la història de la nostra facultat. Efectivament, mitjançant una ordre del Departament d'Empresa i Coneixement de la Generalitat de Catalunya1 i ...
Impact in Plasma Metabolome as Effect of Lifestyle Intervention for Weight-Loss Reveals Metabolic Benefits in Metabolically Healthy Obese Women
Little is known regarding metabolic benefits of weight loss (WL) on the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) patients. We aimed to examine the impact of a lifestyle weight loss (LWL) treatment on the plasma metabolomic profile ...
I Annual Workshop INSA-UB "The Universe of the Olive Oil" held in the Food and Nutrition Torribera Campus of the University of Barcelona, Spain, 11th November 2015
The Institute for Research on Nutrition and Food Safety (INSA-UB) was formed by research groups belonging to the Faculties of Pharmacy, Biology, Chemistry and Geography and History, as well as other UB-affiliated centers ...
Effect of freezing, fast-freezing by liquid nitrogen or refrigeration to preserve premium extra virgin olive oil during storage
During storage, premium extra virgin olive oils (PEVOO), which are oils of exceptional sensory quality, may lose the organoleptic characteristics that define them. This study assessed the effect of applying modified ...
Antioxidative effect of lipophilized caffeic acid in fish oil enriched mayonnaise and milk
The antioxidative effect of lipophilized caffeic acid was assessed in two different fish oil enriched food products: mayonnaise and milk. In both emulsion systems, caffeic acid esterified with fatty alcohols of different ...
Effect of COVID-19 Lockdown on Dietary Habits and Lifestyle of Food Science Students and Professionals from Spain
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, forcing countries around the world to confine their population to halt the rapid spread of the virus. This study aimed to evaluate ...
Carotenoid profile of tomato sauces: effect of cooking time and content of extra virgin olive oil
The consumption of carotenoid-rich vegetables such as tomatoes and tomato sauces is associated with reduced risk of several chronic diseases. The predominant carotenoids in tomato products are in the (all-E) configuration, ...
Pharmacological strategies for targeting BAT thermogenesis
Modern imaging techniques have confirmed the presence of thermogenically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans, leading to suggestions that it could be stimulated to treat obesity and its associated morbidities. ...
Studies on the Enantioselective Synthesis of E-Ethylidene-bearing Spiro[indolizidine-1,3′-oxindole] Alkaloids
A synthetic route for the enantioselective construction of the tetracyclic spiro[indolizidine-1,3'-oxindole] framework present in a large number of oxindole alkaloids, with a cis H-3/H-15 stereochemistry, a functionalized ...
Combining traditional dietary assessment methods with novel metabolomics techniques: present efforts by the Food Biomarker Alliance
FFQ, food diaries and 24 h recall methods represent the most commonly used dietary assessment tools in human studies on nutrition and health, but food intake biomarkers are assumed to provide a more objective reflection ...
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 ...
Flash Gas Chromatography in Tandem with Chemometrics: A Rapid Screening Tool for Quality Grades of Virgin Olive Oils
This research aims to develop a classification model based on untargeted elaboration of volatile fraction fingerprints of virgin olive oils (n = 331) analyzed by flash gas chromatography to predict the commercial category ...
Proyecto "Gastronomía y Salud": resumen de resultados y conclusiones
Proyecto multidisciplinario dirigido a la restauración comercial con la finalidad de facilitar la adaptación de sus menús y ampliar la oferta gastronómica destinada a la población que presenta algún tipo de restricción, ...
Intestinal permeability modulation through a polyphenol-rich dietary pattern in older subjects: MaPLE project outcomes and perspectives
In recent years, research has been focusing on strategies to counteract inflammatory processes and age-related diseases(1). During ageing, a low-grade systemic inflammation is often associated to an altered intestinal ...
Guidelines for Biomarker of Food Intake Reviews (BFIRev): how to conduct an extensive literature search for biomarker of food intake discovery
Identification of new biomarkers of food and nutrient intake has developed fast over the past two decades and could potentially provide important new tools for compliance monitoring and dietary intake assessment in nutrition ...
Red wine polyphenols modulate fecal microbiota and reduce markers of the metabolic syndrome in obese patients.
This study evaluated the possible prebiotic effect of a moderate intake of red wine polyphenols on the modulation of the gut microbiota composition and the improvement in the risk factors for the metabolic syndrome in obese ...
Changes in white adipose tissue metabolism induced by resveratrol in rats.
BACKGROUND: A remarkable range of biological functions have been ascribed to resveratrol. Recently, this polyphenol has been shown to have body fat lowering effects. The aim of the present study was to assess some of the ...
