The Mediterranean diet is rich in vegetables, cereals, fruit, fish, milk, wine and olive oil has salutary biological functions. Epidemiological studies have shown a lower incidence of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases certain kinds cancer the area. Olive main source fat, diet's healthy effects can particular be attributed not only to high relationship between unsaturated saturated fatty acids but also antioxidant property its phenolic compounds. compounds, hydroxytyrosol oleuropein,...
Abstract Background Food hygiene in hospital poses peculiar problems, particularly given the presence of patients who could be more vulnerable than healthy subjects to microbiological and nutritional risks. Moreover, nosocomial outbreaks infectious intestinal disease, mortality risk has been proved significantly higher community highest for foodborne outbreaks. On other hand, common involvement role food handlers nurses or domestic staff, not specifically trained about HACCP, may represent a...
The efficiency of Band 3 protein, mediating HCO3-/Cl- exchange across erythrocytes membrane, is reduced by oxidative stress. aim the present study was to verify whether protein compromised treatment with Cadmium (Cd2+), an extremely toxic heavy metal known interfere antioxidant enzymes, energy metabolism, gene expression and cell membranes. To this end, rate constant for SO4= uptake through (accounting velocity anion exchange) measured along membrane –SH groups, Malonyldialdehyde (MDA)...
Experiments were performed to assess the dose-dependent effects of quercetin, kaempferol, (+) catechin, and (-) epicatechin on superoxide radical production through modulation manganese dismutase xanthine oxidase activities. The experiments carried out at flavanoid concentrations ranging from 1 µM 100 µM. This investigation highlighted that flavonols induced opposite different doses, i.e. pro-oxidant highest concentration (100 µM) anti-oxidant lowest (1 µM). Similar behaviors observed for...
Experimental studies have highlighted that the administration of 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2) to rats fed diets rich in lipids induces a decrease cholesterol and triglycerides plasma levels body weight (BW) without inducing liver steatosis. On basis these observations we carried out some experimental <em>in vivo</em> assess effects multiple high doses T2 on pituitary thyroid axis diet lipids. Fifteen male Wistar were divided into three groups five animals each. The first group (N...
