MicroRNAs and Drinking: Association between the Pre-miR-27a rs895819 Polymorphism and Alcohol Consumption in a Mediterranean Population
(MDPI, 2016)
Recently, microRNAs (miRNA) have been proposed as regulators in the different processes
involved in alcohol intake, and differences have been found in the miRNA expression profile
in alcoholics. However, no study has ...
Genome-Wide Association Study for Serum Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: Exploratory Analysis of the Sex-Specific Effects and Dietary Modulation in Mediterranean Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome
(MDPI, 2020)
Many early studies presented beneficial effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on cardiovascular risk factors and disease. However, results from recent meta-analyses indicate that this effect would be very low or ...
Influence of Demographic and Lifestyle Variables on Plasma Magnesium Concentrations and Their Associations with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Mediterranean Population
(MDPI, 2020)
Several studies have shown that a low magnesium (Mg) intake in the diet is associated with greater cardiovascular risk and greater risk of diabetes. However, the results are not consistent in all populations. To minimize ...
Associations of the MCM6-rs3754686 proxy for milk intake in Mediterranean and American populations with cardiovascular biomarkers, disease and mortality: Mendelian randomization
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
Controversy persists on the association between dairy products, especially milk, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Genetic proxies may improve dairy intake estimations, and clarify diet-disease relationships through ...
Taxonomic and Functional Fecal Microbiota Signatures Associated With Insulin Resistance in Non-Diabetic Subjects With Overweight/Obesity Within the Frame of the PREDIMED-Plus Study
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Objective: An altered gut microbiota has been associated with insulin resistance, a metabolic dysfunction consisting of cellular insulin signaling impairment. The aim of the present study is to determine the taxonomic and ...
Technological Applications for the Automation of Food Questionnaires in Medical Studies: a state-of-art-review and future prospective
(Elsevier, 2012-10)
Applications for automating the most commonly used dietary surveys in nutritional research, Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs) and 24 h Dietary Recalls (24HDRs), are reviewed in this paper. A comprehensive search of ...
Statistical and biological gene-lifestyle interactions of MC4R and FTO with Diet and physical activity on obesity: new effects on alcohol consumption
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Background: Fat mass and obesity (FTO) and melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and are relevant genes associated with
obesity. This could be through food intake, but results are contradictory. Modulation by diet or other ...
Education modulates the association of the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism with body mass index and obesity risk in the Mediterranean population
(Elsevier, 2012)
Objective
To define whether the rs9939609 FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with anthropometric measurements and its modulation by educational level in a Mediterranean ...
Associations of the FTO rs9939609 and the MC4R rs17782313 polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes are modulate by diet, being higher when adherence to the Mediterranean diet pattern is low
(BioMed Central, 2012-11)
Background: Although the Fat Mass and Obesity (FTO) and Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) genes have been
consistently associated with obesity risk, the association between the obesity-risk alleles with type 2 diabetes is ...
Single and Combined Associations of Plasma and Urine Essential Trace Elements (Zn, Cu, Se, and Mn) with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Mediterranean Population
(2022-10)
Trace elements are micronutrients that are required in very small quantities through diet but are crucial for the prevention of acute and chronic diseases. Despite the fact that initial studies demonstrated inverse ...
