Condition indices and metal bioaccumulation of early life stages of juvenile flounder (5-10 cm) were determined in three anthropogenic estuaries (the Scheldt, Seine and Loire) and compared to a reference site (the Canche). Significant correlations were found between metal concentrations in sediment

Hyperlipoproteinaemias, in particular types associated with elevated levels of total and LDL-cholesterol and partly triacylglycerols (in particular in combination with reduced HDL-cholesterol), are one of the most serious risk factors of early manifestation of IHD and atherosclerosis at other sites.

OBJECTIVE South Asians have a higher-than-average risk of CHD. The reasons for this are unclear, but physical inactivity and/or poor responsiveness to exercise may play a role. This study compared the effect of prior exercise on postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG), glucose, insulin, interleukin-6,

This is the first study of plasma biochemical parameters in free-living altricial birds during an entire developmental period in a nest, represented by European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). Dynamics of postnatal changes from hatching until close to fledging (days 1 to 15) were registered. Parameters

The study assesses the effects of dietary mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) posterior intestinal lipid class composition and its possible relation to the potential prostaglandins production and Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) stimulation. Fish were fed 4

OBJECTIVE Heart disease risk is elevated in South Asians possibly due to impaired postprandial metabolism. Running has been shown to induce greater reductions in postprandial lipaemia in South Asian than European men, but the effect of walking in South Asians is unknown. METHODS Fifteen South Asian

OBJECTIVE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in type 2 diabetes but it is unknown whether NAFLD is prevalent in European women at risk of type 2 diabetes. We studied the prevalence of, and risk factors for, NAFLD in European women with previous gestational diabetes (GDM) at high

The influence of diet protein content (35-45-55%) on growth and lipid composition of muscle and liver of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) was studied for the first time. In control eel, triacylglycerols constituted about 90% of total lipids in muscle and about 40% in liver. Triacylglycerol content

The aim of this study was to determine whether the higher susceptibility to coronary heart disease and diabetes in South Asian immigrants to the United Kingdom compared with the Caucasian population may reflect insulin resistance and altered postprandial lipid metabolism. We also wished to study

Tobacco and alcohol consumption are strongly related to other cardiovascular and cancer risk factors. The aim of the present study was to analyse the association of nutrient intake, blood lipid variables and leisure-time physical activity with tobacco and alcohol consumption status. Participants

BACKGROUND Little is known about the variation of the glycemic index (GI) in the diet of European outpatients with type 1 diabetes and how the GI of a commonly consumed diet is associated with metabolic control. OBJECTIVE The present study examined the calculated dietary GI of European outpatients

OBJECTIVE South Asians have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than Europeans. The underlying cause of this excess risk is still poorly understood but might be related to differences in the regulation of energy/nutrient-sensing pathways in metabolic tissues and subsequent changes in

In aquaculture, there is high interest in substituting marine-derived with vegetable-based ingredients as energy source. Farmed carnivorous fish under high carbohydrate diets tend to increase adiposity but it remains unclear if this happens by increased lipid retention/accumulation, promotion of

OBJECTIVE High levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) are associated with a favourable metabolic risk profile. However, there has been no thorough exploration of the independent contributions of cardiorespiratory fitness and subcomponents of activity (total PA, time

We report on the cooperation of two European Reference Laboratories for the determination of reference method values in serum based materials intended for use in internal accuracy control and external quality assessment. Reference method values were determined by isotope dilution-gas
