Activité physique : contextes et effets sur la santé - Synthèse et recommandations
2008
1L’activité physique peut s’effectuer dans différents contextes.Elle peut être liée à l’activité professionnelle, se pratiquer àl’occasion de loisirs ou au cours de travaux domestiques et égalements’intégrer aux déplacements.Pour une grande partie de la population, l’exercice physiquen’est plus aujourd’hui associé aux activités professionnelles etaux déplacements de la vie quotidienne. L’accroissementdu travail sédentaire et des activités récréatives physiquementpassives (télévision, jeux vidéo…) a diminué la dépenseénergétique venant équilibrer les apports. L’activité physiquedépend donc principalement chez l’adulte de sa motivationà la pratiquer au cours de ses loisirs de manière spontané…
Cortical taste activity in response to sucrose and sweeteners solutions: a study using gustatory evoked potential
2016
Introduction: Sweeteners are widespread in overweight or diabetic patients because of their high sweetening power and their light effect on glycaemia. Sweeteners effects on cortical activity, reflecting both cortical analysis and gustatory signalization pathway, are not well known. We observed previously that gustatory evoked potentials (GEPs) in response to sucrose varied in latency and/or in amplitude with sucrose concentration of the solution, the pleasantness of taste and the feeding status. The aim was to compare the gustatory cortical activity by recording GEPs in response to sucrose, aspartame and stevia solutions.Methods: Twenty healthy non-smoker adult volunteers were included (mea…
Modelling analysis of centroid curves of olfactory habituation in humans
2020
Indexation en cours.; International audience; Previously published experiments established the time-course of olfactory habituation in humans, and extracted 3 centroid curves from clustering analysis that reflected high, middle and low habituation. The aim of the current theoretical study was to further analyse these previous experimental data by developing a mathematical modelling analysis designed for fitting the 3 curves from a general equation. After adjusting equation parameters for each curve, fitting equation outcomes on experimental data yielded high correlation coefficients of 0.9997 – 0.9995 – 0.9962, respectively. A model-based interpretation of olfactory-habituation centroid cur…
Towards human exploration of space: the THESEUS review series on cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal research priorities
2016
International audience; The THESEUS project (Towards Human Exploration of Space: aEUropean Strategy) was initiated within the seventh FrameworkProgramme by the European Commission. This project aimed toprovide a cross-cutting, life science-based roadmap for Europe’sstrategy towards human exploration of space, especially for deepspace missions and its relevance to applications on Earth. Toaddress these challenges, relevance of space research on thecardiovascular system, the lungs and kidneys, was discussed in anexpert group and its principal conclusions will be presented in thisarticle.
Oral sensitivity to oleic acid and food behaviors in athletes
2016
International audience; The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that fat oral-intensity perception may be associated with level of physical activity, food preferences and consumption of fat-rich foods. METHODS: 52 top athletes from different discipline (weightlifting, kayaking, athletics…) of both sexes (27 male, 25 female) underwent anthropometric measurement, assessment of body composition, and completed a 4-day diet record and physical activity diary. In addition, they were screened for oral sensitivity to oleic acid (0.375 mM, 0.75mM, 1.5mM, 3mM, 6mM, 12mM) using triplicate sensory evaluations for each concentration. According to the threshold of fat perception, subjects we…
