Effects of carbohydrate content on body composition during weight loss in female fitness competitors
2017
Introduction. Bodybuilders and fitness competitors are aiming to reduce fat mass and maintain lean mass during the competition phase. Low carbohydrate diets compared to low fat diets have claimed to be more effective in weight loss, but the results are still controversial. Low carbohydrate intake and high protein intake have been reported in bodybuilders during the diet, but the evidence of its effectiveness is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of carbohydrate content on body composition during weight loss in female fitness competitors. Methods. A total of 50 female subjects participated in this study, 27 were competitors, and 23 were weight training stable controls.…
Dysfunctional High-Density Lipoproteins Are Associated With a Greater Incidence of Acute Coronary Syndrome in a Population at High Cardiovascular Risk
2020
Background: Studies have failed to establish a clear link between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, leading to the hypothesis that the atheroprotective role of HDL lies in its biological activity rather than in its cholesterol content. However, to date, the association between HDL functional characteristics and acute coronary syndrome has not been investigated comprehensively. Methods: We conducted a case-control study nested within the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) cohort, originally a randomized trial in which participants followed a Mediterranean or low-fat diet. Incident acute coronary syndrome cases (N=167) were individually matched …
Desarrollo de formulaciones alimentarias basadas en Chenopodium quinoa y Salvia hispanica L. con función preventivo/terapéutica de trastornos en el m…
2021
El incremento de enfermedades relacionadas con alteraciones en la homeostasis de la glucosa (i.e., obesidad, diabetes, glucogenosis), ha generado un continuo interés en el consumo de la quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) y la chía (Salvia hispanica L.). Por ello, se ha estudiado en un primer objetivo el almidón de quinoa comparado con otros almidones comerciales (patata, arroz, trigo, maíz), determinando sus propiedades térmicas y de pasta y el efecto del tratamiento hidrotérmico en sus cinéticas de liberación de glucosa, así como evaluar el efecto de añadir harina de chía desgrasada (H_Ch) en los flujos de glucosa y en la respuesta metabólica en células HepG2. Como segundo objetivo, se ha estudia…

L'alimentation carnée à Aventicum/Avenches capitale des Helvètes (Ier s. - IVe s. apr. J.-C.) Suisse, canton de Vaud
2010
This first synthesis concerns the animal bones, discovered since 1975 in Aventicum, the capital of Roman Switzerland. It is supported by the analysis of several residential districts, public sectors and suburbs, which represent five hundred chronological complexes and 74000 animal bones, dated from the Ist, to the IVth Century AD. During these centuries, Aventicum was incorporated to the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, then was raised to the status of a colonia and finally declined with the Empire.The analysis of bones was made to study various mutations which occurred during the occupation of the city. They include an improvement of breeding techniques, a new internal city organisation, …
Macrophage scavenger receptor 1 mediates lipid-induced inflammation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
2022
Background & Aims: Obesity-associated inflammation is a key player in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1, CD204) remains incompletely understood. Methods: A total of 170 NAFLD liver biopsies were processed for transcriptomic analysis and correlated with clinicopathological features. Msr1(-/-) and wild-type mice were subjected to a 16-week high-fat and high-cholesterol diet. Mice and ex vivo human liver slices were treated with a monoclonal antibody against MSR1. Genetic susceptibility was assessed using genome-wide association study data from 1,483 patients with NAFLD and 430,101 participants of the U…

Dietary water seems to improve skin hydration without influencing hemodynamics
2013
The various studies on the importance of water in the hydration of human skin have suggested that an increased dietary intake might positively impact the physiology of normal skin. We evaluated the consequences of increasing water intake through drinking in skin hydration in vivo. Eating habits were maintained, evaluated by a Food Frequency Questionnaire and based on total water consumption. In two groups with different total water consumption, we evaluated the impact of 2L/day water after 30 days,. This increase produced no hemodynamic changes or weight changes but an improvement in the epidermal hydration was suggested. The magnitude of the impact on skin hydration was higher in the group…
Svensklärares uppfattningar om dyslexi och inlärningsstrategier på högstadiet. Två fallstudier.
2010
Tutkielmamme tarkoituksena on ottaa selvää yläasteen ruotsin opettajien käsityksiä oppilaista, joilla on dysleksia sekä miten he ottavat tällaiset oppilaat opetuksessa huomioon. Tämän lisäksi haluamme selvittää, mitä oppimisstrategiat merkitsevät heille ja kuinka he tuovat niitä esille opetuksessaan. Käytimme Oxfordin (1990) strategialuokittelua opettajien mainitsemien strategioiden luokitteluun. Opettajien tapaa opettaa oppimisstrategioita vertasimme Pearsonin ja Dolen (1987) malliin. Lisäksi selvitimme opettajien kokemuksia opettajankoulutuksesta ja siitä millaiset valmiudet se antaa lukioppilaiden tukemiseen ja oppimisstrategioiden opettamiseen. Käytimme tutkimuksessamme kvalitatiivisia …
Vanadium-based Ziegler-Natta catalyst supported on MgCl2(THF)2 for ethylene polymerization
1996
A supported magnesium‐vanadium‐aluminium catalyst was prepared by depositing –with the use of a milling technique–VOCl3 on the MgCl2(THF)2 support and subsequent activation with diethylaluminium chloride. Catalytic activity of the obtained system for ethylene polymerization was evaluated as a function of Mg/V and Al/V ratios as well as catalyst ageing time and polymerization temperature. High concentrations of THF in the catalytic system and considerable excess of an organoaluminium co‐catalyst were found to have no deactivating action on vanadium active sites. The catalyst obtained is stable and its activity for ethylene polymerization is high. It yields polyethylene with higher molecular …
