Effects of Food Label Health and Nutrition Claims on Consumer Perceptions

2009

Two experiments are reported that examined consumers' perceptions of food package labels where health and nutrition claims were present and where they had been removed. Unlike previous studies examining the influence of information on perception, realistic materials were used. This was accomplished by presenting information on a computer as photo-realistic images of packages where claims had been removed by editing to give a without-claims condition. Automatic presentation of materials and data collection meant participants proceeded through the computer questionnaire without the presence of an experimenter. The experiment was conducted with both British and French consumers. No significant…

Antioxidant activity and phenolic composition in pomegranate (Punica granatumL.) genotypes from south Italy by UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS approach

2018

Background: Pomegranate fruits are a rich source of polyphenols with numerous health-promoting effects. Pomegranate juices of five genotypes ('Mollar', 'Kingdom', 'Dente di Cavallo', and two old populations 'Francofonte' and 'Santa Tecla') were evaluated regarding anthocyanin and non-anthocyanin phenolic contents using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (MS). Moreover, total antioxidant activity (TAA) was evaluated using a 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) assay.; Results: Twenty-three phenolic compounds were identified. Cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside and pelargonidin-3,5-O-diglucoside were the most represent…

« Nez et langues électroniques » : bilan et perspectives pour les huiles alimentaires

2003

Le « Nez electronique », et plus recemment la « Langue electronique » ont ete fort mediatises durant la derniere decennie. Aussi est-il necessaire, avec le recul, de faire le point sur les benefices que ces technologies peuvent apporter dans le domaine des produits alimentaires, et en particulier pour huiles vegetales. On trouve une litterature relativement abondante dans ce domaine, mais les applications qui ont reussi a franchir le cap de l’utilisation industrielle sont extremement restreintes. S’agit-il d’une frilosite des industriels pour des investissements de controle-qualite ou d’un manque de fiabilite des resultats de laboratoire ? Pourtant, la demande en outils rapides de controle-…

Verbesserung der Impuls- und Emotionsregulation bei Binge-Eating-Störungen

2019

Zusammenfassung. Impulsivität beeinflusst die Verarbeitung von störungsspezifischen Reizen und die Handlungskompetenz hinsichtlich der Nahrungsaufnahme. Neuere Studien adressieren daher unterschiedliche Facetten impulsiven Erlebens und Verhaltens, um eine Reduktion von Essanfällen und des Körpergewichts bei der Binge-Eating-Störung (BES) zu erzielen. ImpulsE ist ein Therapieprogramm zur Verbesserung der Impuls- und Emotionsregulationsfertigkeiten, welches mit einem computergestützten nahrungsbezogenen Inhibitionstraining kombiniert und mit einer Standardbehandlung (TAU) verglichen wurde. N = 31 Personen mit BES nahmen teil (n = 22 ImpulsE, n = 9 TAU). Die Ergebnisse zeigten Verbesserungen …

Differential PI3K signal transduction in obesity-associated cardiac hypertrophy and response to ischemia

2014

Objective Elevated insulin and inflammatory cytokine levels in obesity may chronically activate signaling pathways regulating cardiac growth and contractility. Our aim was to examine the effect of obesity on cardiac PI3K isoform and Akt activation during left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure. Methods Wild-type mice were fed normal chow or high-fat diet (HFD) for 2, 4, or 6 months. A subset of mice was subjected to chronic myocardial ischemia (MI). Results Echocardiography revealed a progressive increase in LV mass, wall thickness, and diameters in obese mice. Systolic pump function was not impaired. Increased cardiac levels of PI3Kγ, phosphorylated Akt, GSK3β, and Epac were ob…

Weight Loss and Improvement of Metabolic Alterations in Overweight and Obese Children Through the I2AO2 Family Program: A Randomized Controlled Clini…

2021

Childhood obesity is a major public health concern. We wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary program based on healthy eating, exercise, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and health education to achieve weight loss and improve metabolic parameters in overweight and obese children. A randomized, controlled clinical trial with long-term follow-up (24 months) was conducted at a community care center in overweight and obese individuals aged 6–12 years. A sample of 108 children was divided into an experimental and a control group receiving a standard care program. The experimental groups received a 12-month interdisciplinary program; the results were evaluated at 4 months, the …

Quelle information accompagne la distribution des Compléments Nutritionnels Oraux (CNO) à l’hôpital : un état des lieux

2019

Introduction et but de l’etude Bien que l’efficacite des Complements Nutritionnels Oraux (CNO) ait ete prouvee dans de nombreuses situations cliniques, leur utilisation en milieu hospitalier se heurte a des problematiques de prescription, de distribution et d’observance. L’objectif de l’etude etait de faire un etat des lieux des informations donnees par le personnel soignant aux patients lors de la distribution des CNO et d’etudier les representations des patients vis-a-vis de ces produits. Materiel et methodes Au cours d’une premiere phase, un observateur neutre a suivi les equipes de service et consigne tous les echanges verbaux entre soignant et patient lors de la distribution des CNO. A…

How the country-of-origin impacts wine traders’ mental representation about wines: A study in a world wine trade fair

2020

Using data collected at a world wine trade fair, we study how the country-of-origin impacts wine traders’ mental representation about wines. In the analysis we use traditional exporters in Old (France) and New (Argentina) world wine countries in comparison to non-traditional exporters in Old (Switzerland) and New (Brazil) world wine countries. Three main findings are reported. First, the country-of-origin of wines was more important on guiding participants’ representations, than the category of countries the traders came from. Second, participants’ evocations were more precise and specific for traditional wine-exporting countries than for less traditional wine exporting countries. Finally, …

Intestinal CD36. A lipid-sensor involved in the processing of chylomicrons in rodents

2011

International audience; CD36 is a multifunctional glycoprotein which binds nanomolar concentrations of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) and is highly expressed on the luminal surface of enterocytes. Despite of its implication in oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and chylomicron synthesis, CD36 function in small intestine remains incompletely understood. Our in vivo data demonstrated that CD36 gene deletion in mice did not affect intestinal LCFA uptake. CD36 protein disappeared early from the luminal side of intestinal villi during the post-prandial period but only when the diet contained lipids. This drop was significant 1 h after a lipid supply and was associated with ubiquitination of CD36. Using CHO…
