Poly[[tetramethanolbis[4-oxo-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-olato]disodium]–diethyl ether–metha…
2016
In the title compound, [Na2(C16H7Cl3N5O2)2(CH3OH)4]·C4H10O·2CH3OH, the central pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine system makes dihedral angles of 82.98 (7)° with the trichlorophenyl ring and 13.11 (15)° with the pyridine ring. The sodium ion has an octahedral environment, being coordinated by four methanol molecules and one O and one N atom of two different heterocyclic ring systems.
Interaction of physical activity, diet, health locus of control and quality of life among Finnish university students
2013
Muhammad Tayyab Minhas, 2013. Interaction of Physical Activity, Diet, Health Locus of Control and Quality of Life among Finnish University Students. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Literature shows that particular lifestyle modifiable behaviours, like physical activity, diet, are risk factors for the development of many diseases in adulthood. These behaviours are affected by personal psychological characteristics, like health locus of control and at the same time they affect peoples’ perceived quality of life. Transition to university is an important phase in a student’s life. Students’ environment and social …
An Endemic Plant of the Mediterranean Area: Phytochemical Characterization of Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo L.) Fruits Extracts at Different Ripenin…
2022
This work focused on the extraction, quantification, and characterization of bioactive compounds of Arbutus unedo L. fruits, comparing the results obtained from the different ripening states. Extractions were performed by different methods (such as maceration extraction and ultrasonic extraction) and food grade solvents (aqueous and hydroalcoholic solvents) in each of the all ripening states (four states considered, associated with four different colors, i.e., green, yellow, orange, and red). The presence of (poly)phenols was quantified and characterized, and scavenging activity was determined by the Folin–Ciocâlteu reagent and the DPPH method, respectively. The content of bioactive compoun…
Rationale and design of the DARWIN-T2D (DApagliflozin Real World evIdeNce in Type 2 Diabetes): A multicenter retrospective nationwide Italian study a…
2017
Background Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of diabetes have limitations inherent to the fact that design, setting, and patient characteristics may be poorly transferrable to clinical practice. Thus, evidence from studies using routinely accumulated clinical data are increasingly valued. Aims We herein describe rationale and design of the DARWIN-T2D (DApagliflozin Real World evIdeNce in Type 2 Diabetes), a multicenter retrospective nationwide study conducted at 50 specialist outpatient clinics in Italy and promoted by the Italian Diabetes Society. Data synthesis The primary objective of the study is to describe the baseline clinical characteristics (particularly HbA1c) of pa…
Enterobacter cloacae administration induces hepatic damage and subcutaneous fat accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays a significant role in obesity, insulin resistance and associated liver disorders. Family Enterobacteriaceae and especially Enterobacter cloacae strain B29 have been previously linked to obesity and hepatic damage. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively examined the effects of E. cloacae subsp. cloacae (ATCC® 13047™) administration on host metabolism of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into HFD control, chow control, and E. cloacae treatment groups. The E. cloacae treatment group received live bacterial cells in PBS intragastrically twice a week, every ot…
The effects of protein and carbohydrate supplementation on body composition and muscle strength during resistance training
2015
Johdanto. Lihavuudesta on tullut maailmanlaajuinen epidemia, ja sen liitännäissairaudet ovat suuri huolenaihe. Voimaharjoittelun ja ravitsemuksen tiedetään muokkaavan tehokkaasti kehon koostumusta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten proteiini ja hiilihydraatti yhdistettynä voimaharjoitteluun vaikuttavat kehon koostumukseen sekä voimaan. Menetelmät. Tutkimukseen osallistui 78 miestä (ikä 34.7 ± 1.4, pituus 179.9 ± 0.77 cm, paino 83.6 ± 1.4 kg), jotka eivät olleet tottuneet voimaharjoitteluun. Tutkimus sisälsi kokonaisuudessaan 16 viikkoa voimaharjoittelua, joista ensimmäiset neljä viikkoa sisälsivät kaikilla kestovoiman harjoittelua. Tämän perehdyttämisjakson jälkeen koehenk…
Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes
2013
The fatty acid (FA) composition of algae is an important determinant of their food quality for consumers, and FAs can also be used as biomarkers for biochemical and energetic pathways in food webs. FA analyses of 7 freshwater algal classes and 37 strains showed clear similarity within classes and strong differences amongst classes. Class was a dominant factor (66.4%) explaining variation in FA signatures of microalgae. The 7 algal classes comprised 4 separate groups according to their FA profiles: (1) Chlorophyceae and Trebouxiophyceae, (2) Bacillariophyceae, (3) Cryptophyceae, Chrysophyceae, and Raphidophyceae, and (4) Euglenophyceae. Each group had a characteristic FA composition, althoug…
Growth and population structure of perch in relation to diet in a small humic lake, Valkea-Kotinen
2011
Lake Valkea-Kotinen is a long-term ecological monitoring site in the Evo region of southern Finland .The aim of this study was to investigate the growth and population structure of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) in relation to diet in Valkea-Kotinen in order to provide reference data for a study investigating effects of increased loading of dissolved organic matter to nearby Lake Alinen Mustajärvi. Valkea-Kotinen was predominantly inhabited by small benthivorous perch. The growth relationship between opercular bone and total length of perch in the lake is similar to those earlier analysed for nearby lakes. Compared to wider growth rates, the growth of perch was slow and similar to those in si…
Eating behavior dimensions and 9-year weight loss maintenance : a sub-study of the Finnish Diabetes prevention study
2023
Abstract Background Behavioral processes through which lifestyle interventions influence risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), e.g., body weight, are not well-understood. We examined whether changes in psychological dimensions of eating behavior during the first year of lifestyle intervention would mediate the effects of intervention on body weight during a 9-year period. Methods Middle-aged participants (38 men, 60 women) with overweight and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were randomized to an intensive, individualized lifestyle intervention group (n = 51) or a control group (n = 47). At baseline and annually thereafter until nine years body weight was measured and the Three Factor Ea…
Parental Self-Efficacy and Child Diet Quality between Ages 2 and 5 : The STEPS Study
2022
Parental self-efficacy (PSE), a measure of the subjective competence in the parental role, has been linked with child well-being and health. Research on the influence of PSE on child eating habits is scarce, and the few studies have concentrated on certain food groups, such as vegetables or fruits, and have mostly included only maternal PSE. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the associations between PSE (separately for mothers and fathers and as a total family-level score) and child diet quality in a cross-sectional and longitudinal study setting. PSE was measured at child ages of 1.5 and 5 years, and diet quality was measured at ages 2 and 5. Participants are from the Steps to Hea…
