Detailed Description: EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL CORATINA INTERVENTION ON LIPIDS IN NON-DIABETIC HYPERTENSIVE (H) PATIENTS WITH HYPERLIPIDEMIA (H)UNDERGOING PERIODIC HEMODIALYSIS (H) (EVOOC-3H) INTRODUCTION What is known. The primary causes of death in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) are

Introduction: Stroke is the second cause of death and the third of years of life lost worldwide. In Chile, stroke is the second cause of death. Ischemic stroke represents roughly 80% of all strokes. The 11 risk factors responsible for 91.8% of the population attributable risk of ischemic stroke are:

Introduction Fruit of the date palm (P. dactylifera) may be considered an emerging and potential candidate for the development of health-promoting foods owing to its high nutritive values (Juhaimi, Ghafoor et al. 2012). Recently, scientific studies have revealed the medicinal properties of P.

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

Rhus coriaria L.(Rhus) is a well-known spice widely consumed in the world which has also been utilized extensively for medicinal purposes. The antioxidant components of this plant made it a favorable target for laboratory and animal studies in different conditions such as oxidative stress

Epidemiological studies support that light to moderate alcohol drinking (10-20g per day), may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, dementia, depression, and all-cause mortality. In addition, moderate red wine consumption has recently shown to be inversely associated with a

Research suggests that antioxidants (substances that may slow or prevent cell damage) found in many fruits and vegetables may help improve brain functioning (for example, memory and attention) in healthy individuals and prevent cognitive decline in individuals who have suffered a stroke. The purpose

Rhus (Somagh) is found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide, often growing in areas of marginal agricultural capacity. Rhus is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine because of its assumed analgesic, antidiarrhetic, antiseptic, anorexic and antihypergylcemic properties. The fruits

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-centre randomized, controlled trial to specifically compare the biological effectiveness of bean versus peas vs rice (control) on LDL-cholesterol in mildly hypercholesterolemic men and women. In addition, the effects of beans and peas on other

Each year, approximately 3 million sports-related concussions occur in athletes. Only about 5% of these concussions are treated in the hospital setting. To date, there are no effective interventions used at decreasing the levels of oxidant injury and inflammation within these athletes. The standard

Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains one of the major causes of premature death in the world. There is now substantial evidence to indicate that the cells lining the inner surface of arteries play a major role in protection against the development and progression of CHD. This layer of cells is

Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of high amounts of plant foods, such as nuts, fruits and vegetables, appears to be protective against chronic diseases including heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. In recent years, numerous studies indicate that

Background: High blood pressure is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality from stroke, heart disease, and end-stage renal disease. Several studies have shown that dietary polyphenols derived from fruits and vegetables (including those from grape products) can lower blood pressure in both

This study is divided into two separate phases. Phase I evaluated if the antioxidants produced from pomegranate juice cross the placenta in normal healthy pregnancies. Twenty women were enrolled, 10 who will take 8 oz of pomegranate juice daily and then 10 others who will take 8 oz of placebo juice

Scientific context: Arteriosclerosis is a chronic pathogenic inflammatory-fibro-proliferative process of large and medium-sized arteries that results in the progressive formation of fibrous plaques which in turn, impair the blood flow in vessels. These lesions can either promote an occlusive
