Impact of augmented renal clearance on the pharmacokinetics of linezolid: Advantages of continuous infusion from a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic perspective
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of renal function, in particular the presence of augmented renal clearance (ARC), on the pharmacokinetics of linezolid in critically ill patients. The effect ...
The Effect of a Family-Based Lifestyle Education Program on Dietary Habits, Hepatic Fat and Adiposity Markers in 8–12-Year-Old Children with Overweight/Obesity
(MDPI, 2020-05-16)
Healthy lifestyle education programs are recommended for obesity prevention and treatment. However, there is no previous information on the effects of these programs on the reduction of hepatic fat percentage. The aims ...
Activity of Pterostilbene Metabolites against Liver Steatosis in Cultured Hepatocytes
(MDPI, 2020-11-20)
Pterostilbene is a dimethyl ether derivative of resveratrol, less metabolized than its analogue, due to the substitution of two hydroxyl groups with methoxyl groups. Nevertheless, the amounts of pterostilbene phase II ...
Resveratrol Metabolites Are Able to Reduce Steatosis in Cultured Hepatocytes
(MDPI, 2020-09-30)
Steatosis is characterized primarily by excessive lipid accumulation in the form of triglycerides in the liver. Although resveratrol shows a low bioavailability, it has significant positive effects on steatosis. The aim ...
Comparative Effects of Pterostilbene and Its Parent Compound Resveratrol on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Steatohepatitis Induced by High-Fat High-Fructose Feeding
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
Different studies have revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation are crucial in NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). The aim of this study is to analyze whether pterostilbene and resveratrol are able to either ...
The influence of dietary conditions in the effects of resveratrol on hepatic steatosis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-01)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the major cause for the development of chronic liver alterations. Hepatic steatosis is the most benign and common form of NAFLD, although its potential to evolve into ...
Scientific Evidence Supporting the Beneficial Effects of Isoflavones on Human Health
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
Isoflavones are phenolic compounds with a chemical structure similar to that of estradiol. They are present in several vegetables, mainly in legumes such as soy, white and red clover, alfalfa and beans. The most significant ...
Gene–Diet Interactions in Colorectal Cancer: Survey Design, Instruments, Participants and Descriptive Data of a Case–Control Study in the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2020)
Epidemiologic studies have revealed inconsistent evidence of gene-diet interaction in
relation to colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to analyze them in a sample of cases and
controls from the population-based ...
