Jump training with different loads: effects on jumping performance and power output
(Springer, New York, 2013)
To investigate the selective effects of different types of external loads applied in vertical jump training on both the performance and muscle power output of the squat (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ). Physically active ...
Bioactive-rich Sideritis scardica tea (mountain tea) is as potent as Camellia sinensis tea at inducing cellular antioxidant defences and preventing oxidative stress
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
BACKGROUNDIn several countries, tea (hot-water infusions of dried Camellia sinensis (CS) leaves) is a major source of antioxidant flavonoids, and its consumption has been associated with several favourable outcomes. Other ...
EURRECA-Estimating Selenium Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Current reference values for selenium, an essential micronutrient, are based on the intake of selenium that is required to achieve maximal glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma or erythrocytes. In order to assess the ...
1-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and diphasic dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2013)
EURRECA-Estimating Iodine Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones, and current recommendations for intake are based on urinary iodine excretion, assessment of thyroid size, thyroidal iodine accumulation and turnover, radioactive iodine ...
Antioxidant and Antihypertensive Activity of Extract from Thymus serpyllum L. in Experimental Hypertension
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
The low incidence of cardiovascular disease in Mediterranean countries leads to an increased interest of the scientific community for the Mediterranean diet. Our aim was to evaluate total phenol and flavonoid contents, ...
EURRECA-Estimating Iron Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Currently, a factorial approach is used to derive reference values for iron. Calculations include the use of a bioavailability factor to convert the physiological requirement, derived from obligatory losses and requirements ...
EURRECA-Estimating Zinc Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Zinc was selected as a priority micronutrient for EURRECA, because there is significant heterogeneity in the Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) across Europe. In addition, the prevalence of inadequate zinc intakes was thought ...
Lack of effect of bioactive-rich extracts of pomegranate, persimmon, nettle, dill, kale and Sideritis and isolated bioactives on platelet function
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
BACKGROUNDThe health benefits of fruit and vegetable-rich diets may be partly due to modulation of platelet activity by bioactive phytochemicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bioactive-rich plant ...
