A multi-gene analysis strategy identifies metabolic pathways targeted by trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid in the liver of hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-08-28)In mice, hepatic functions can be greatly affected by dietary trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). However, this phenomenon has been less documented in hamsters. In the present study, male hamsters were fed two ... -
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 ... -
Body image and body composition: comparisons of young male elite soccer players and controls
(Human Kinetics, 2008)[EN] The purpose of this study was to evaluate body composition and body image (perception and satisfaction) in a group of young elite soccer players and to compare the data with those of a control group (age and BMI ... -
Calidad de la dieta, sobrepeso y obesidad en estudiantes universitarios
(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral, 2006)[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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Del miedo a la obesidad a la obsesión por la delgadez; actitudes y dieta
(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral, 2012)[EN] Objective: Investigate the relationship between body satisfaction, attitudes toward body and obesity, diet quality and emotional health in a group of university students. The initial hypothesis was that attitudes to ... -
Dietary animal and plant protein intakes and their associations with obesity and cardio-metabolic indicators in European adolescents: the HELENA cross-sectional study
(Biomed Central, 2015-01-21)Background: Previous studies suggest that dietary protein might play a beneficial role in combating obesity and its related chronic diseases. Total, animal and plant protein intakes and their associations with anthropometry ... -
Dietary fat source regulates ob gene expression in white adipose tissue of rats under hyperphagic feeding
(Cambridge University Press, 2002-05)This work was designed to investigate the effect of different lipid sources on ob gene expression and serum leptin levels in rats with two different feeding protocols: (1) free access to food; or (2) energy-controlled ... -
Effects of the whole seed and a protein isolate of faba bean (Vicia faba) on the cholesterol metabolism of hypercholesterolaemic rats
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-05)The aim of the present work was to analyse the hypocholesterolaemic efficiency of a Vicia faba-protein isolate in relation to the intact legume. In addition, the mechanisms underlying the effects of this isolate were ... -
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 ... -

Fatty acid composition of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in Spanish infants and children
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-01)There is a relationship between the fatty acid profile in skeletal muscle phospholipids and peripheral resistance to insulin in adults, but similar data have not been reported in infancy and childhood. The objective of ... -
"I'm on it 24/7 at the moment" : A qualitative examination of multi-screen viewing behaviours among UK 10-11 year olds
(BioMed Central, 2011-08-03)Background: Screen-viewing has been associated with increased body mass, increased risk of metabolic syndrome and lower psychological well-being among children and adolescents. There is a shortage of information about the ... -
Influence of different dietary fats on triacylglycerol deposition in rat adipose tissue
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-11)It has been demonstrated that triacylglycerol (TAG) mobilization from adipose tissue is selective and depends on fatty acid (FA) chain length, unsaturation and positional isomerism. The present study was performed to ... -
Influence of nutrient intake on antioxidant capacity, muscle damage and white blood cell count in female soccer players
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-19)Background: Soccer is a form of exercise that induces inflammatory response, as well as an increase in free radicals potentially leading to muscle injury. Balanced nutritional intake provides important antioxidant vitamins, ... -
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 ... -
Long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid from fish oil modulates aortic nitric oxide and tocopherol status in the rat
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-10)In spite of their high oxidisability. long-chain n-3 PUFA protect against CVD. Dietary fatty acids modulate the fatty acid composition of lipoproteins involved in atherosclerosis. We thought that if long-chain n-3 PUFA ... -
