Human milk is considered as the golden standard for infant formula. In human milk and infant formula lipids provide about 55% of energy for the infant and represent as such a major nutrient for the baby. The vast majority of the lipids in human milk is composed of triacylglycerols (98% of total

This study will be conducted using a randomized, crossover design with six dietary phases: a low GI meal or a high GI meal with saturated fat, monounsaturated fat or polyunsaturated fat. All participants will be randomly allocated to the six test meals, with the order balanced. Fifteen participants

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in industrialized nations despite major advances in its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. While there has been a trend over the last half century showing a general decline in the age-adjusted death rates of heart disease

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 FiSK Junior study compares the effects of consuming oily fish versus poultry (control) in healthy 8-9 year-old Danish children. The children will be randomized to consume approximately 300 g/week of either oily fish or poultry for 12 weeks. Measurements and biological sampling will be performed

A double - blind randomized, crossover design trial examining arginine vs. placebo beverage treatments will be performed. The primary objective is to determine the effects of arginine assessed by standard laboratory assays and metabolomics. To accomplish the objective standardized meals will be

This counterbalanced study consisted of two trials including 1) high fructose (HF) trial and, 2) a high glucose (HG) trial. Each trial was blind to the participant, performed in a random order, and was 15 d in length. During days 1-14 of each trial, the participants consumed either 710 ml per day of

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

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, being dyslipidemias, oxidative stress, sedentary lifestyle and obesity primary risk factors. As a way to reduce cardiovascular diseases risk factors, the intake of antioxidants that come from a fruit and vegetable-rich diet or

The overarching aim of this project is to investigate the mechanisms underlying loss of muscle mass in adults (sarcopenia) and the therapeutic potential of growth hormone (GH). The underlying hypothesis is that absence of GH and subsequent reduced insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) will impair

Fifty men and women with metabolic syndrome age 20 to 65 will be recruited to participate. Men and women are eligible if they have a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 and at least three out of five ATP III criteria for metabolic syndrome. These criteria are defined as: [1] Triacylglycerol ≥150 mg/dL, [2]

First of all, the omega-3 free fatty acids have an important effect for lowering triglycerides through three potential mechanisms such as: Inhibition of triacylglycerol synthesis as direct inhibition of diacyl glycerol acetyl transferase and phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase results in lowering

A randomized clinical trial in the city of Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was conducted during the school year of 2007 (March to December 2007). The trial had a factorial design based on two different interventions: 1) nutritional counseling and 2) home-based exercise. The present study focused on

Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials indicate that moderate doses of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) and may improve prognosis. N-3 fatty acids have several beneficial cardiovascular properties (1-3), including antiatherothrombotic,
