A restricted cafeteria diet ameliorates biometric and metabolic profile in a rat diet-induced obesity model Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2021-01-11 Alex Subias-Gusils; Noemí Boqué; Antoni Caimari; Josep M Del Bas; Roger Mariné-Casadó; Montserrat Solanas; Rosa M Escorihuela
Abstract The administration of anti-obesity bioactive compounds and/or functional foods in rodents fed energy restriction diets based on chow food can be difficult to interpret. We propose an energy restricted cafeteria (CAF) diet as a dietetic intervention to be combined with other therapies. Postweaning male rats were fed standard chow, CAF diet or 30% energy restricted CAF diet (CAF-R) for 8 weeks

Gut microbiome changes induced by a diet rich in fruits and vegetables Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2020-12-01 Marie van der Merwe
Abstract Habitual dietary intake is a major determinant of the species composition and functional output of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut. Diet influences which microbes will colonise, flourish or disappear throughout life. An increase in polyphenols, oligosaccharides and fibre, which are all components found in a fruit and vegetable-rich diet, have long been associated

Dietary fibre modifies gut microbiota: what’s the role of (poly)phenols? Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2020-09-30 Pedro Mena; Letizia Bresciani
Abstract The association between dietary consumption of fibre and health-related gut bacteria is essential but not unique. (Poly)phenols are among the most important bioactive components contained in fibre-rich foods. For this reason, the role of (poly)phenols when considering dietary fibres and health outcomes should be taken into account, as synergic or mediating factors contributing to human health

Supplementation with alpha-linolenic acid and inflammation: a feasibility trial. Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2020-08-04 Marcella Cavina,Maurizio Battino,Antonio V Gaddi,Maria Teresa Savo,Francesco Visioli
Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, including the precursor α-linolenic acid (ALA) is often sub-optimal and not in line with international guidelines. Supplementation is debatable, but some individuals, e.g., pre-diabetic, low-grade inflammation, cardiometabolic yet otherwise healthy subjects, might benefit from supra-physiological omega-3 intake, particularly to lessen inflammation. We explored the

Effect of consumption of ancient grain bread leavened with sourdough or with baker's yeast on cardio-metabolic risk parameters: a dietary intervention trial. Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2020-07-27 Giuditta Pagliai,Manuel Venturi,Monica Dinu,Viola Galli,Barbara Colombini,Ilaria Giangrandi,Niccolò Maggini,Francesco Sofi,Lisa Granchi
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of consumption of ancient grain “Verna” bread obtained by two different leavening agents, sourdough (SD) and baker’s yeast (BY), on inflammatory parameters and cardiometabolic risk factors. Seventeen clinically healthy subjects were included to consume SD or BY bread for 4 weeks each, and blood analyses were carried out. The consumption of “Verna” bread

Beneficial effect of walnuts on vascular tone is associated with Akt signalling, voltage-dependent calcium channel LTCC and ATP-sensitive potassium channel Kv1.2. Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. (IF 3.483) Pub Date : 2020-07-21 Jelena Stanisic,Tamara Ivkovic,Snjezana Romic,Manja Zec,Tijana Culafic,Mojca Stojiljkovic,Goran Koricanac
Consumption of walnuts is beneficial for cardiovascular health. To study walnut effects on proteins involved in vascular tone regulation, control and fructose-fed rats were subjected to walnut diet for 6 weeks. In contrast with increased energy intake and body mass gain, aortic protein level of L-type calcium channel alpha subunit was decreased and the level of SUR2B subunit of ATP-sensitive K + channel
