Scope To identify reliable biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) pulses. Methods and results A randomized crossover postprandial intervention study is conducted on 11 volunteers who consumed lentils, chickpeas, white beans. Urine serum samples are collected at distinct time points up to 48 h, analyzed by LC‐HR‐MS untargeted metabolomics. Hypaphorine, trigonelline, several small peptides, polyphenol‐derived metabolites prove be the most discriminating urinary metabolites. Two arginine‐related...

Background/Objectives: Research on the relationship between nutritional characteristics and their impact cardiovascular remodeling in children conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) is limited. We aimed to explore influence of postnatal nutrition vascular wall thickness through ART, comparing them with a naturally control group. Methods: A prospective observational cohort 3-year-old (n = 83) was analyzed, including 41 ART 42 spontaneously conceived. The carotid maximum...

Scope Evidence on the Mediterranean diet (MD) and age‐related cognitive decline (CD) is still inconclusive partly due to self‐reported dietary assessment. The aim of current study develop an MD‐ metabolomic score (MDMS) investigate its association with CD in community‐dwelling older adults. Methods results This includes participants from Three‐City Study Bordeaux ( n = 418) Dijon 422) cohorts who are free dementia at baseline. Repeated measures cognition over 12 years collected. An MDMS...
