Hesperidin and Capsaicin, But Not The Combination, Prevent Hepatic Steatosis and Other Metabolic Syndrome-Related Alterations in Western Diet-Fed Rats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-10)
We aimed to assess the potential effects of hesperidin and capsaicin, independently and in combination, to prevent the development of obesity and its related metabolic alterations in rats fed an obesogenic diet. Three-month-old ...
Effect of a Very-Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet on Circulating Myokine Levels Compared with the Effect of Bariatric Surgery or a Low-Calorie Diet in Patients with Obesity
(MDPI, 2019-10-04)
The preservation of muscle mass and muscle function after weight loss therapy is currently a considerable challenge in the fight against obesity. Muscle mass secretes proteins called myokines that have relevant functions ...
Characterization, Stability, and Bioaccessibility of Betalain and Phenolic Compounds from Opuntia stricta var. Dillenii Fruits and Products of Their Industrialization
(MDPI, 2021-07-09)
The aim of the present study was the full characterization, quantification, and determination of the digestive stability and bioaccessibility of individual betalain and phenolic compounds of Opuntia stricta, var. Dillenii ...
High-Throughput Sequencing of microRNAs in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: Identification of Potential Weight Loss Biomarkers
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013)
INTRODUCTION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are being increasingly studied in relation to energy metabolism and body composition homeostasis. Indeed, the quantitative analysis of miRNAs expression in different adiposity conditions ...
Resveratrol: Anti-Obesity Mechanisms of Action
(MDPI, 2014-11)
Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol which belongs to the stilbenes group and is produced naturally in several plants in response to injury or fungal attack. Resveratrol has been recently reported as preventing obesity. ...
Association between dietary phylloquinone intake and peripheral metabolic risk markers related to insulin resistance and diabetes in elderly subjects at high cardiovascular risk
(BioMed Central, 2013-01)
Background: Vitamin K has been related to glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and diabetes. Because inflammation underlies all these metabolic conditions, it is plausible that the potential role of vitamin K in glucose ...
Ultrasound-Assisted “Green” Extraction (UAE) of Antioxidant Compounds (Betalains and Phenolics) from Opuntia stricta var. Dilenii’s Fruits: Optimization and Biological Activities
(MDPI, 2021-11-08)
Opuntia stricta var. Dillenii’s prickly pears are an underutilized fruit with a high content of betalains and phenolic compounds that could bring potential health benefits for humans. The aim of this study is the optimization ...
Effect of Microalgae and Macroalgae Extracts on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
(MDPI, 2021-06-11)
The present review aims to gather scientific evidence regarding the beneficial effects of microalgae and macroalgae extracts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The described data show that both microalgae and ...
Epigenetic Landscape in Blood Leukocytes Following Ketosis and Weight Loss Induced by a Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) in Patients with Obesity
(Elsevier, 2021-05-21)
Background: The molecular mechanisms underlying the potential health benefits of a ketogenic diet are
unknown and could be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.
Objective: To identify the changes in the obesity-related ...
