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 ...
CLOCK gene variation is associated with incidence of type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in type-2 diabetic subjects: dietary modulation in the PREDIMED randomized trial
(BioMed Central, 2016-01)
Background
Circadian rhythms regulate key biological processes influencing metabolic pathways. Disregulation is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Circadian rhythms are generated by ...
Association between Microbiome-Related Human Genetic Variants and Fasting Plasma Glucose in a High-Cardiovascular-Risk Mediterranean Population
(MDPI, 2022)
Background and Objectives: The gut microbiota has been increasingly recognized as a
relevant factor associated with metabolic diseases. However, directly measuring the microbiota
composition is a limiting factor for ...
Heterogeneity of the Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) Gene and Metabolic Risk Factors in the EPIC-Potsdam Study
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Background: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. In mice and humans its activity
has been associated with traits of the metabolic syndrome, but also with the prevention of saturated ...
Associations between taste perception profiles and empirically derived dietary patterns: an exploratory analysis among older adults with metabolic syndrome
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Taste perception is a primary driver of food choices; however, little is known about how perception of all five tastes (sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami) collectively inform dietary patterns. Our aim was to examine the ...
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 ...
Metagenomic assessment of the microbial community and methanogenic pathways in biosolids from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Medellín, Colombia
(Elsevier, 2019)
Abundance and diversity of microbial communities in biosolids are variable and poorly studied in the tropics, and
it is known that rainfall is one of the events that could affect the phylogenetic and functional microbial ...
