Low-grade inflammation, diet composition and health : current research evidence and its translation
(2015-10-14)
The importance of chronic low-grade inflammation in the pathology of numerous age-related chronic conditions is now clear. An unresolved inflammatory response is likely to be involved from the early stages of disease ...
Replacement of saturated with unsaturated fats had no impact on vascular function but beneficial effects on lipid biomarkers, E-selectin, and blood pressure results from the randomized, controlled Dietary Intervention and VAScular function (DIVAS) study
(2015-07-31)
BACKGROUND: Public health strategies to lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk involve reducing dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake to ≤10% of total energy (%TE). However, the optimal type of replacement fat is ...
Final evidence report as part of preparatory work for the setting of Dietary Reference Values for sodium and chloride
(European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), 2014-11-04)
Final evidence report as part of preparatory work for the setting of Dietary Reference Values for magnesium, copper, and phosphorus
(European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), 2014-11-04)
As part of its mandate from the European Commission, EFSA must review existing advice from the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) on Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for energy, macro- and micronutrients and other substances ...
Development of a Food-Exchange Model to Replace Saturated Fat with MUFAs and n-6 PUFAs in Adults at Moderate Cardiovascular Risk
(2014-06-01)
The recommendation to reduce saturated fatty acid (SFA) consumption to ≤10% of total energy (%TE) is a key public health target aimed at lowering cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Replacement of SFA with unsaturated fats ...
Modulation of Neuroinflammation by Dietary Flavonoids
(Nova Science Publishers Inc., USA., 2012-11-30)
There is increasing evidence to suggest neuroinflammatory processes contribute to the cascade of events that lead to the progressive neuronal damage observed in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson‘s disease and ...
Flavonoids and Neuroinflammation
(CRC Press, London, 2012-05)
A review of the evidence for the effects of total dietary fat, saturated, monounsaturated and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on vascular function, endothelial progenitor cells and microparticles
(2012-02)
Vascular dysfunction is recognised as an integrative marker of CVD. While dietary strategies aimed at reducing CVD risk include reductions in the intake of SFA, there are currently no clear guidelines on what should replace ...
Neuroinflammation : modulation by flavonoids and mechanisms of action
(2012-02)
Neuroinflammatory processes are known to contribute to the cascade of events culminating in the neuronal damage that underpins neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Recently, there has ...
