Effects of trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid on the expression of uncoupling proteins in hamsters fed an atherogenic diet
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-06)
It is known that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding decreases body adiposity but the mechanisms involved are not clear. The aim of this study was to analyse whether alterations in uncoupling protein (UCP) expression ...
Weak effect of trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid on body fat accumulation in adult hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-12-14)
It has been proposed that young animals and subjects are more responsive to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than the adults. Nevertheless, there is very little information concerning the effectiveness of CLA in adult animals. ...
The trans-10,cis-12 isomer of conjugated linoleic acid reduces hepatic triacylglycerol content without affecting lipogenic enzymes in hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-09)
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to the positional and geometric dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. The dietary intake of CLA has been associated with changes in lipid metabolism. The aim of the present work was to ...
Molecular Components and Functions of the Endocannabinoid System in Mouse Prefrontal Cortex
(Public Library of Science, 2007-08-08)
Background. Cannabinoids have deleterious effects on prefrontal cortex (PFC)-mediated functions and multiple evidences link the endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) system, cannabis use and schizophrenia, a disease in ...
A Model of Ischemia-Induced Neuroblast Activation in the Adult Subventricular Zone
(Public Library of Science, 2009-04-23)
We have developed a rat brain organotypic culture model, in which tissue slices contain cortex-subventricular zone-striatum regions, to model neuroblast activity in response to in vitro ischemia. Neuroblast activation has ...

[EN] Objective: To assess diet quality and to examine the association between diet quality and overweight and obesity in a group of university students.
Subjects: Our simple consisted of 749 volunteer students of the ...
Comparison of predicted body fat percentage from anthropometric methods and from impedance in university students
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-11)
The objective of the present study was to compare different methods for evaluating body fat percentage (BF%) (anthropometric methods and bioelectrical impedance analysis) in university students. Subjects were 653 healthy ...
Valoración de la composición corporal y de la percepción de la imagen en un grupo de mujeres universitarias del País Vasco
(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral, 2008)
[EN] Objetive: To assess the body image perception and to compare the results with the true measurements in a group of university students.
Subjects: Participants were 28 volunteer females recruited from the degree in ...
A short training program improves the accuracy of portion-size estimates in future dietitians
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Nutrición, 2007)
[EN] The objective of this study was to determine whether a short training program, using real foods, would decreased their portion-size estimation errors after training. 90 student volunteers (20.18±0.44 y old) of the ...
Cooperative learning strategies to teach nutrition to geriatric nursing staff
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Nutrición, 2008)
[EN] The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that cooperative learning strategies will help to increase nutrition knowledge of nurses and nursing assistants caring for the elderly in different institutional ...
