NMR-based quantification of rosmarinic and carnosic acids, GC-MS profile and bioactivity relevant to neurodegenerative disorders of Rosmarinus offici…
2013
Abstract A comparative study of phytochemicals content and biological properties of eight Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) populations (RO1–RO8) collected in different areas of Tunisia was carried out. Two of the main rosemary constituents, rosmarinic and carnosic acids, were quantified by an NMR technique. Carnosic acid content was higher than that of rosmarinic acid. The non-polar constituents were examined by GC and GC–MS. Total phenols and flavonoids content were also determined in order to discuss the possible correlation between these phytochemicals and bioactivity. Antioxidant activity was investigated through different in vitro assays. Sample RO3 from a sub-humid area showed the hi…

Cronobiología y salud: modulación y asociación con factores ambientales, genéticos y epigenéticos en población mediterránea
2022
Introducción: A pesar de la importancia del sueño, del cronotipo y de otras variables relacionadas con los ritmos circadianos, muchos de los estudios epidemiológicos sobre factores de riesgo cardiovascular todavía no han incorporado el análisis de las mismas. Estas variables, que vamos a denominar en su conjunto como variables cronobiológicas, pueden tener gran influencia en el desarrollo de obesidad, diabetes y otras patologías relacionadas, y a su vez pueden interactuar con otras variables del estilo de vida, como la dieta o la actividad física, contribuyendo a una compleja red multifactorial. Además, las variables cronobiológicas pueden tener una importante influencia genética y epigenét…
Effect of different packaging methods on the free amino acid profiles of the deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) during frozen storage
2022
The composition of free amino acids (FAAs) in seafood products contributes to characterizing their flavor, as well as freshness and quality during storage. Deep-water rose shrimps (Parapenaues longirostris, Lucas, 1846) (DWRS) are being increasingly harvested in the Mediterranean Sea, and the captured specimens are quickly frozen onboard fishing trawlers to preserve freshness and post-harvest quality. Here, we quantified the FAA profiles of DWRS packaged using five methods: (1) 100% N2; (2) vacuum; (3) 50% N2 + 50% CO2; (4) commercial anhydrous sodium sulfite; and (5) air (control). All samples were quickly frozen at −35°C and stored for 12 months at −18°C. Arginine (661 mg/100 g), proline …
Revisiting the cross‐sectional and prospective association of physical activity with body composition and physical fitness in preschoolers: A composi…
2022
Background Information is limited for the benefits of physical activity (PA) in preschoolers. Previous research using accelerometer-assessed PA may be affected for multicollinearity issues. Objectives This study investigated the cross-sectional and prospective associations of sedentary behaviour (SB) and PA with body composition and physical fitness using compositional data analysis. Methods Baseline PA and SB were collected in 4-year-old (n = 315) using wrist-worn GT3X+ during seven 24 h-periods. Body composition (air-displacement plethysmography) and physical fitness (PREFIT test battery) were assessed at baseline and at the 12-month follow-up. Results Increasing vigorous PA at expenses o…
Western mediterranean archaeology: chemical element levels in archaeological materials as a methodological tool
2014
Una línea de desarrollo de las investigaciones arqueométricas, objeto de nuestro estudio, que presenta un amplia gama de potenciales aplicaciones metodológicas, al día de hoy conocidas solo en parte, es el análisis de los elementos químicos metálicos y no metálicos, ya sean los elementos mayoritarios, los elementos trazas y, más recientemente, los conocidos como “tierras raras” (por su nombre en inglés, Rare Earth Elements - REEs), que se han revelado útiles en nuestro estudio para la solución de algunos problemas arqueológicos. La posibilidad de poder actuar de forma sistemática, ha ayudado, por un lado, a conocer y desarrollar el potencial de estos elementos y, por otro, ha servido de sop…
Trait Self-Control, Social Cognition Constructs, and Intentions: Correlational Evidence for Mediation and Moderation Effects in Diverse Health Behavi…
2019
Background: We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict health behaviour indirectly through theory constructs and intentions. Trait self‐control was also predicted to moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods: Proposed effects were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours from studies adopting prospective designs. Participants (N = 3,249) completed measures of constructs from social cognition theories and self‐control at an initial time point and self‐reported their behaviour at follow‐up. Results: Results revealed indirect effects of self‐co…

Altri cibi. Il packaging degli alimenti veg
2017
Il tema di questo contributo riguarda il packaging dei prodotti vegani e vegetariani nel mercato italiano della distribuzione organizzata. La scelta degli ambiti del packaging della gdo e del vegetarianismo ha a che fare con le attuali tendenze dietetiche che, come spesso accade con le scelte e le mode alimentari, mentre si diffondono massivamente si intrecciano tra di loro. Se, infatti, in linea di principio l’astensione dal mangiare carne è il passaggio giusto e inevitabile per portare avanti coerentemente gli interessi degli esseri animali, ed è dunque espressione di una presa di posizione etico-politica animalista, è vero che cibi vegani e vegetariani sempre più spesso entrano a far par…
Questa non è una dieta. Linguaggi e strategie del dimagrimento
2014
Stare a dieta è un modo di vivere, tutti stiamo in qualche modo in una dieta. A tavola siamo sempre più circondati da tribù di foodies in qualche regime particolare (senza glutine, senza carne né pesce, senza lattosio, senza sale, solo per citarne pochissimi) e cucinare è diventato un districarsi tra esigenze e capricci, bisogni e voluttà dei convitati. Non ci cureremo in questo saggio delle motivazioni che, in linea di principio, stanno alla base delle scelte alimentari, se siano dettate da bisogni fisici, quindi “reali” e “funzionali”, come nel caso di chi soffre di intolleranze o altri disturbi di salute, oppure se siano guidate da decisioni esistenziali (vegetariani, vegani, crudisti ec…
