How dietary intake methodology is adapted for use in European immigrant population groups - a review
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
Immigrants comprise a noteworthy segment of the European Population whose numbers are increasing. Research on the dietary habits of immigrants is critical for correctly providing diet counselling and implementing effective ...
EURRECA's General Framework to make the process of setting up micronutrient recommendations explicit and transparent
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2010)
Globin gene expression in correlation with G protein-related genes during erythroid differentiation
(Biomed Central Ltd, London, 2013)
Background: The guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. G proteins are also implicated in erythroid differentiation, and some of ...
Bosentan and losartan ameliorate acute renal failure associated with mild but not strong NO blockade
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2007)
Background. Acute renal failure (ARF) is a devastating illness, especially when it occurs in various conditions with impaired nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, such as arterial hypertension, heart failure and some renal diseases. ...
How to find information on national food and nutrient consumption surveys across Europe: systematic literature review and questionnaires to selected country experts are both good strategies
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
The present research was conducted within the framework of the EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned project. in order to identify the best practice in assessing nutrient intakes, a search strategy for collecting ...
Reduced progression of adriamycin nephropathy in spontaneously hypertensive rats treated by losartan
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2009)
Background. The aim of the study was to investigate the antihypertensive effects of angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker, losartan, and its potential in slowing down renal disease progression in spontaneously hypertensive ...
Physiological and public health basis for assessing micronutrient requirements in children and adolescents. The EURRECA network
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge relating to the nutritional requirements and corresponding recommended nutrient intake values of children and adolescents for micronutrients and specificities related ...
Relative roles of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II in experimental post-ischaemic acute renal failure
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2004)
Background. The relative roles of endothelin (ET)-1 and angiotensin (ANG) II in post-ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF) have not been fully established so far. With the aim of contributing to this goal, we assessed in ...
Mapping low intake of micronutrients across Europe
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2013)
Achieving an understanding of the extent of micronutrient adequacy across Europe is a major challenge. The main objective of the present study was to collect and evaluate the prevalence of low micronutrient intakes of ...
Losartan Improved Antioxidant Defense, Renal Function and Structure of Postischemic Hypertensive Kidney
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2014)
Ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) is a highly complex disorder involving renal vasoconstriction, filtration failure, tubular obstruction, tubular backleak and generation of reactive oxygen species. Due to this complexity, ...
