(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 ...
Changes in white adipose tissue metabolism induced by resveratrol in rats
(BioMed Central, 2011-05)
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 ...

Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Time during Childhood, Adolescence and Young Adulthood: A Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013-04-23)
Background: To know how moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time change across lifespan periods is needed for designing successful lifestyle interventions. We aimed to study changes in objectively ...
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 ...
Intraobserver error associated with anthropometric measurements made by dietitians
(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral, 2010)
[EN] Introduction: Although dietitians play an important role in the anthropometric assessment, reports on measurements made by these health professionals rarely include estimates of measurement error.
Aim: To estimate ...
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 ...
