- HDHL aims to enhance dietary quality sustainably, drawing from insights in food, nutrition, and health sciences. The goal is to provide evidence-based recommendations and innovative food product formats, coupled with addressing sedentary behavior.
- Background and aimThe SALAMANDER project aimed at defining salivary signatures indicative of healthy dietary choices (adherence to a Mediterranean diet: MeDi) with a positive long-term health outcome (protection against type 2 diabetes: T2DM).In a discovery phase, 214 subjects were selected in two cohorts of elderly people (3-C Bordeaux in France, Seniors-ENRICA in Spain) following a case-control…
- Background and aim There is an urgent need to find reliable early biomarkers of the cardiometabolic syndrome (CardMetS) allowing intervention before irreversible damage develops while assessing the efficacy of nutritional prevention. Oxylipins could be relevant candidate biomarkers thanks to their involvement in the homeostatic regulation of various process related to the cardiometabolic status…
- Background and aimHEALTHMARK investigated the complex associations between diet, microbiota, tryptophan metabolites of microbial metabolism, and metabolic health in a set-up of identification, replication, and validation of associations. The project, organized in five work packages (WP) comprised two observational and two intervention studies.In WP1, the University of Bonn (UB) using the DOrtmund…
- Background and aimThe FiberTAG project has established a set of biomarkers linking dietary fiber (DF) intake and gut microbiota-related health effect. We aim at refining the concept of DF based on novel biological effects that can occur upon gut microbiota-nutrients interaction by using existing cohorts and by developing innovative approaches to evaluate the health interest of novel insoluble DF…
- Background and aimFAME aimed to a) identify novel lipidomics biomarkers as biomarkers of fatty acid status and of future cardiometabolic clinical events, b) establish relationships between diet and tissue status of fatty acids as explanatory factors for diet relationships with cardiometabolic health, and c) to investigate genetic determinants of fatty acid status and metabolism which modify the…
- Background and aimSub-optimal status of Riboflavin (vitamin-B2) may be more widespread than generally recognised because of reliance on dietary data only in many nutrition surveys and lack of reliable biomarker data. The DERiVE project aimed to address this by developing accessible riboflavin biomarkers and by demonstrating important functional, gene-nutrient and health effects of optimal…
- Background and aimBile acids (BA) through G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1 or TGR5) and nuclear receptors like Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulate mammalian inflammation, and lipid, glucose, energy, and xenobiotic metabolism. The gut microbiota modulates the enterohepatic circulation of BA and microbially produced secondary BA appear to be more potent receptor agonists than primary…
- Background and aimIn recent decades, nutritional science and biomedicine have made enormous progress in the development of modern molecular and cellular research technologies. This has led to the awareness that health is a state of homeostasis, not only for our various eukaryotic cells, but also for the millions of living microorganisms that live in symbiosis on (e.g. skin) or in (e.g. gut) our…
- BackgroundChildhood obesity is a rapidly growing problem in many countries across the world. Weight loss programs have limited effects and prevention is our only hope to stem this new epidemic. Development in the early life period has lifelong consequences. Early visceral fat mass development, in particular, is thought to have long-term effects on later body fat mass and fat distribution, and thus…
- Background and aimAccording to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis early life exposure to environmental factors plays a critical role in defining offspring health in childhood and later life. Thus adaptation to suboptimal nutrition during pregnancy or early childhood may perpetuate intergenerational transmission of a range of adverse health outcomes. Epigenetic phenomena…
- Increasing evidence suggests that several non-communicable diseases, including obesity and its associated metabolic disorders, are inherited from parents to offspring over several generations by non-genetic mechanisms.In this context, it has been suggested that parental environmental cues might induce epigenetic modifications in the germ line, which are transmitted to the progeny. Hence…
