Trends in Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Food Bioactive Compounds
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without ...
Urtica dioica L. leaf extract modulates blood pressure and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, Jena, 2018)
Background: Urtica dioica L. (Stinging nettle) has been used for centuries for the treatment of numerous health issues. Purpose: This study investigates the antioxidant capacity and the most abundant phenolic compounds of ...
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 ...
A large-scale study of the Trichinella genus in the golden jackal (Canis aureus) population in Serbia
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Over the last decades the golden jackal (Canis aureus) has significantly expanded its range throughout Southeast and Central Europe, and the Balkan Peninsula is considered to be a core area of the species distribution in ...
Influence of nanostructured calcium aluminate and calcium silicate on the liver: histological and unbiased stereological analysis
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Aim To examine the potential systemic toxicity of nanostructured materials based on calcium silicate and calcium aluminate, for potential application in Dentistry. Methodology Twenty-four Albino Wistar rats aged 2 months ...
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 ...
Optimization of extraction of stinging nettle leaf phenolic compounds using response surface methodology
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
A full three level factorial design was implemented for optimization of extraction parameters in order to maximize total phenolic (TP) yield from stinging nettle leaf. Factors considered were percentage of methanol in ...
Effects of polyphenol-rich chokeberry juice on cellular antioxidant enzymes and membrane lipid status in healthy women
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The effect of long-term polyphenol-rich chokeberry juice consumption on activities of antioxidant enzymes and membrane lipid status in erythrocytes of 25 healthy women was examined. Percentages of membrane fatty acids, ...
Anthocyanins: From Sources and Bioavailability to Cardiovascular-Health Benefits and Molecular Mechanisms of Action
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2019)
Anthocyanins are phytochemicals widely found in plant foods, with berries and fruit-derived beverages as the main dietary sources. Accumulating evidence suggests the positive role of anthocyanins in preserving cardiovascular ...
Investigation of Variations in the Human Urine Metabolome amongst European Populations: An Exploratory Search for Biomarkers of People at Risk-of-Poverty
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Scope According to Eurostat 2016, approximately 119 million European citizens live at-risk-of-poverty (ROP). This subpopulation is highly diverse by ethnicity, age, and culture in the different EU states, but they all have ...
