Dénutrition protéino-énergétique extrême : un concept mal connu en EHPAD
2017
Resume Il existe une forme particuliere de denutrition proteino-energetique (DPE) en geriatrie : la denutrition proteino-energetique extreme (DPEE). Certaines personnes entrent en etablissement d’hebergement pour personnes âgees dependantes (EHPAD) en situation de DPEE, c’est-a-dire avec un indice de masse corporelle (IMC) inferieur a 18,5 kg/m 2 . Par sa similitude avec le syndrome de renutrition inapproprie (SRI) ou refeeding syndrome , la DPEE n’est pas toujours identifiee comme une situation a risque. Or, une approche nutritionnelle ordinaire peut avoir des consequences deleteres. Nous presentons une mise au point bibliographique sur les risques de renutrition inadapte de la DPEE de la …
Prevalencia de riesgo de desnutrición y desnutrición establecida en población ambulatoria, institucionalizada y hospitalizada en un departamento de s…
2017
Introduccion: la prevalencia de desnutricion relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) varia segun la poblacion estudiada y los metodos empleados para el cribado, para la valoracion nutricional y los criterios diagnosticos. Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de riesgo nutricional y de desnutricion establecida, tipo y grado de la misma en poblacion ambulatoria, hospitalizada e institucionalizada, en un departamento de salud. Material y metodos: estudio transversal y descriptivo con seleccion aleatoria de la muestra. A la poblacion reclutada se le realizo el Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) como cribado para evaluar el riesgo nutricional y una valoracion nutricional completa segun los…
Système endocannabinoïde : effets sur le métabolisme glucidique, mais aussi lipidique
2016
Resume Le systeme endocannabinoide (SEC) est compose de recepteurs couples aux proteines G : Cannabinoid type 1-receptor (CB 1 -R) et Cannabinoid type 2-receptor (CB 2 -R), de leurs ligands endogenes (anandamide [AEA], et 2-acylglycerol [2-AG]), et des enzymes responsables de leur synthese et de leur degradation. Bien que les recepteurs CB 1 -R et CB 2 -R furent initialement decrits au niveau du systeme nerveux central, ils sont presents dans de nombreux tissus peripheriques, ou ils sont impliques dans le metabolisme, la croissance, et l’inflammation. Apres le retrait commercial du rimonabant, pour des effets secondaires psychiatriques, un agoniste inverse du recepteur CB 1 (CB 1 -R), desti…
Changes in total anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity in sweet cherries during frozen storage, and air-oven and infrared drying
2016
Introduction. Sweet cherries are important dietary components, based mainly on their content of antioxidant compounds related to health benefits. Different preservation procedures cause changes in the content of these compounds. Our work aimed at evaluation of changes in the total anthocyanin contents and antioxidant activities in fresh, frozen and dried sweet cherry fruits. Materials and methods. The total anthocyanin content of edible parts of sweet cherries was studied under different postharvest conditions. The total antioxidant activities were studied using total phenolic content and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays. Results and discussion. We report higher amounts of phenolics…
Perspectives of lupine wholemeal protein and protein isolates biodegradation
2018
Lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) protein (in wholemeal and protein isolates) was biodegraded using Pediococcus acidilactici in submerged and solid‐state fermentation conditions. The changes in the molecular weight of lupine protein fractions, amino acid (AA) profile, biogenic amine formation, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and protein digestibility in vitro and in vivo (in Wistar rats) were evaluated. After biotreatment, lower molecular weight peptides (from 10 to 20 kDa) were established, and the free AA content increased. Biodegradation improved the antioxidant properties, modulated the antimicrobial properties, and led to higher in vitro and in vivo digestibility and function…
Adolescent Feeding: Nutritional Risk Factors
2018
AbstractThe aim of this review is to describe adolescent nutritional requirements from a scientific, nutritional, and psychosocial point of view, emphasizing the main risks of malnutrition at this age. Currently, too many teenagers are alone at home and prepare their own meals. The influence of friends replaces parental rules. The habits of adolescents are characterized by a tendency to skip meals, especially breakfast, and, less frequently, the midday meal; to purchase carry-out meals away from home; to consume snacks, especially sweets; to eat at fast food restaurants, almost always with high-calorie content; and to eat fried foods, soft drinks, and sweets. Toxic habits, such as smoking, …
Mineral analysis of human diets by spectrometry methods
2016
Abstract Mineral element determination in human diets is very important for human health, due to the presence in foods of essential and toxic elements or their incorporation in the manipulation and cooking food process. Different instrumental techniques have been used to determine mineral elements in human diets, but atomic spectroscopy and mass spectrometry based ones are the most commonly employed. Sampling procedures for diet analysis are the main critically step for mineral element determination, being employed different standardised protocols. This review summarised critically the state-of-the-art of mineral analysis in human diets, considering sampling, sample preparation and determin…
Addition of milk fat globule membrane as an ingredient of infant formulas for resembling the polar lipids of human milk
2016
Polar lipid (PL) contents in human milk (HM) from two different geographic zones in Spain (central and coastal) were determined. These PLs were also analysed in several infant formulas (IFs), three of which contained milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), an ingredient used to resemble the PL profile of HM. Total PL in HM decreased significantly (p < 0.05) from transitional milk (48.62 mg 100 mL−1) to 6 months (28.66 mg 100 mL−1). In HM, sphingomyelin was the most abundant PL, followed by phosphatidylethanolamine; in IFs the most abundant PL was phosphatidylethanolamine. Only IFs with MFGM (54.79–58.07 mg 100 mL−1) could supply the total and individual PL content present in all lactation periods…
Comparative Chemical Composition and Bioactivity of Opuntia ficus‐indica Sanguigna and Surfarina Seed Oils Obtained by Traditional and Ultrasound‐Ass…
2018
This study investigates the seed oils obtained from two different varieties of Opuntia ficus-indica (Sanguigna and Surfarina) growing in Sicily, Italy. Soxhlet and ultrasound-assisted extraction procedures are used to obtain the seed oils. The fatty acid profile, γ-tocopherols, carotenoid content, and the bioactivity in terms of the antioxidant effects (using ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, and β-carotene bleaching tests), and carbohydrate-hydrolysing enzyme inhibitory activity (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) are determined. The extraction procedure does not significantly affect the fatty acid composition of the oil, but it does affect the tocopherol and carotenoid contents, as well as the antioxidant and …
Impact of Green Vegetables and Green Smoothies on Enamel Mineral Composition In Vitro
2019
Background: Recently, smoothies with a high vegetable content have become very popular, especially among young adults. Objectives: This in vitro study was conducted to determine the erosive potential of selected green vegetables and green smoothies on human dental enamel. Methods: A total of ten green smoothies and eight freshly mixed vegetables were chosen, and pH, calcium and oxalic acid contents were measured. The enamel specimens were obtained from wisdom teeth and incubated with 3 selected foods (spinach, parsley, or green smoothie) for 12 and 24 hours (N = 6). Control samples were incubated with a physiological salt solution. An electron probe microanalyzer (Jeol JXA 8900RL) was utili…
