- 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…
- Obesity is a problem that represents a significant health and economic burden in Europe and throughout the world. The prevalence of obesity across European countries has tripled in the last several decades, making it one of the leading public health challenges.A critical part of addressing this global epidemic is to improve the evidence base for more effective treatments for obesity; however, a…

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…
- Important gaps remain in our understanding how diet and the composition of the gut microbiota influence the function of our immune system. TransMic focused on communities in sub-Saharan Africa that are in different stages of urbanization and a nutrition and epidemiologic transition. These communities offer unique opportunities to investigate the ‘diet-microbiome-health’ axis for the following…
- 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…
- Coronary atherosclerosis is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Continuous efforts are needed to improve secondary prevention and understand the mechanism underlying disease progression. Based on primary prevention trials, a potential benefit of the Mediterranean diet after an acute coronary syndrome can be anticipated. The integrated microbiome-mediated/immunologic and…
