Orally administered ingredients can have positive effects on skin characteristics by modulating the internal factors leading to the changes associated with photoageing. Thus, the use of food ingredients and supplements that claim to reduce the risk of skin disorders or alleviate skin ageing is

Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inflammation, oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction (impaired endothelial function and increased large elastic artery stiffness), are highly prevalent in kidney transplant recipients and contribute to

Diabetes melitus is a group of metabolic disorders resulting from a defect in insulin production and/or insulin action. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that the total number of people with diabetes mellitus worldwide will increase from 171 million in 2000 to nearly 370 million in

The treatment of neuroprotection of degenerative ophthalmological diseases is currently proposed by administering products belonging to the category of food supplements (nutraceuticals containing amino acids and vitamins) or compounds of vegetable origin (Curcumin, flavonoids taken with food

The investigators have shown that chronic pomegranate juice consumption in both young untrained and weight-trained men partially protects muscles against the damage done from performing high intensity eccentric contractions and that it accelerates recovery of function. Clearly, skeletal muscle is a

Previously, the investigators have shown that dietary berry fruit are able to reverse several parameters of brain aging, as well as age-related motor and cognitive deficits when fed to aged rats. They have shown that strawberry, in particular, can reduce oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory

5 Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by i) a hypokinetic movement disorder which defines MSA of the parkinsonian type (MSA-P) or by ii) cerebellar symptoms which define MSA of the cerebellar type (MSA-C). In both types

Epidemiological studies suggest that nutrients such as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, antioxidants and B-vitamins may protect against age related cognitive decline. Small human studies have shown beneficial effects of polyphenol rich foods on cognition and age related macular degeneration. Walnuts

Background: Many animal and in vitro studies have shown that resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol found in red wine, can increase cognition, reduce neural degeneration, promote clearance of amyloid-beta peptides, and alter aging mechanisms. Therefore, resveratrol may reduce the symptoms of
