- Pregnancy and infancy are critical periods for nutritional programming of metabolic health. Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation seem to have a crucial role linking early-life nutrition to metabolic health across the life course. The aim of NutriPROGRAM was to identify early-life nutrition-related factors and related epigenetic pathways leading to metabolic adaptations and disease across the…
- Food phytochemicals matter for cardiometabolic health Image AbstractFOODPHYT aims at raising awareness and understanding of the enormous potential of food phytochemicals to support the global fight against obesity and associated cardiometabolic diseases. Phytochemicals are small molecules synthetized by plants for their protection…
- 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…
- 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…
- Dietary Patterns in the Ageing European Population: an Interdisciplinary Approach to combat Overweight-Related Metabolic Diseases. The EURODIET project Image AbstractAn epidemic of overweight/obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardio-metabolic diseases is emerging at planetary level, and healthy nutrition represents a critical help to…
- The aged brain is particularly vulnerable to stress-induced cognitive decline and will benefit tremendously from mechanistically-oriented dietary interventions to attenuate such cognitive impairment and to provide a general boost to brain health. Moreover, cognitive decline is increasingly present in the ageing population, who are living with chronic diseases and subjected to elevated levels of…
- Microbial colonization of the new-born is essential for the development of the physiological homeostasis of the host. Perturbations of early-life colonization may have long-lasting effects on host health; specific alterations seem to precede the development of disease, including both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Thus, early microbiota establishment has a profound effect on long-term…
- Background and aim:Studies suggest that the intestinal microbiome modulates the risk of several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, allergy, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer (CRC). Dietary factors are related to chronic disease risk, and they have been suggested to modulate the composition and function of the gut microbiome. However, detailed knowledge on the relationship of…
