(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2014)
Objective To provide the evidence base for targeted nutrition policies to reduce the risk of micronutrient/diet-related diseases among disadvantaged populations in Europe, by focusing on: folate, vitamin B-12, Fe, Zn and ...
TGF-beta/TGF-beta receptor system and its role in physiological and pathological conditions
(Portland Press Ltd, London, 2011)
The TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) system signals via protein kinase receptors and Smad mediators to regulate a plethora of biological processes, including morphogenesis, embryonic development, adult stem cell ...
The Role of the TGF-beta Coreceptor Endoglin in Cancer
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2010)
Endoglin (CD105) is an auxiliary membrane receptor of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) that interacts with type I and type II TGF-beta receptors and modulates TGF-beta signaling. Endoglin is overexpressed in the ...

BACKGROUNDPomegranate juice is a rich source of polyphenols and is thus a promising dietary antioxidant with numerous health-promoting effects. These include a beneficial impact on cardiovascular health that could be partly ...
Moderate consumption of alcohol-free red wine provide more beneficial effects on systemic haemodynamics, lipid profile and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats than red wine
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
Numerous studies have shown that moderate wine consumption is associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. Others observed that moderate alcohol consumption lowers the risk of ...
Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) phenolics bioavailability in a combined in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model is structure and colon region dependent
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
Aronia phenolics are considered to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, but are not always bioavailable. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro bioavailability of Aronia juice phenolics by combination of intestinal ...
