Relevance and strategic approach Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Known risk factors are advanced age, ethnic origins and positive family history of the disease (1). There are considerable ethnic disparities in

Rationale: The final stages in development of peak bone mass (PBM) take place in late adolescence or early adulthood and are vital for attaining optimal bone health. The variation in bone mineral density (BMD) at the time of PBM is similar with aging, suggesting that the benefits of efforts to

Our Preliminary Data indicate that the rate of oleic acid (OA) oxidation (amount/unit time) is 21% increased compared to palmitic acid (PA) when both fatty acids are fed to the same person at the same intake. We hypothesize that if the ratio of OA to PA in the diet were to increase, the rate of

Many inflammatory responses can be modulated by specific dietary components. For example, in cardiovascular disease, macrophages and T-cells react with oxidized LDL (an endogenous modified antigen) to produce arterial plaque and subsequent blockage of coronary arteries. High intake of saturated fats

The marine long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are beneficial to cardiovascular and cognitive health and the concentration of EPA and DHA present in blood and tissue lipids is positively correlated with these

Commonly consumed vegetable fats and oils are comprised predominantly of TAG, and small amounts of DAG and monoacylglycerol. TAG consists of 3 fatty acid ester, whereas diacylglycerol oil has 2 fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol backbone. Recently, Watanabe et al., developed a process by which

Obesity, and high internal fat storage in particular, represents a tremendous and increasing health challenge across the world, and is linked to the recent introduction and globalization of an ultra-processed food supply largely based on refined carbohydrates. However, more high-quality studies are

The proposed study will be undertaken according to a double-blind randomized placebo controlled cross-over design with 3 treatment phases: 1- high DHA, 2- High EPA, 3- Control. Each treatment phase will last 10 weeks and will be separated by 8-week washouts. Participants will be randomized to one of

Diet and nutrition are key determinants of chronic disease. However, additional information is needed on which bioactive compounds and in what amounts they should be consumed to obtain a given health benefit. One of the biggest recent breakthroughs in science has been realisation of the importance

Participants This study was based on the baseline data from a randomised controlled trial aimed at the evaluation of the effects of 2- month consumption of a combination of bioactive food ingredients on changes in body composition, satiety control, thermogenesis, serum markers of lipolysis . The
