Confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic can influence dietary profiles, especially those of adolescents, who are highly susceptible acquiring bad eating habits. Adolescents’ poor habits increase their subsequent risk degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular pathologies, etc. Our aim was study nutritional modifications during confinement in adolescents aged 10 19 years, compare them with usual diet and guidelines, identify variables that may have influenced changes....
Epidemiology suggests that Mediterranean diets are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Because monocyte adhesion to the endothelium is crucial in early atherogenesis, we evaluated whether typical olive oil and red wine polyphenols affect endothelial-leukocyte molecule expression adhesion.Phytochemicals wine, including oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, elenolic acid, resveratrol, or without antioxidant activity, were incubated human umbilical vein endothelial cells for...
The Covid-19 pandemic led to lockdowns in several parts of the world and, hence, changed some daily habits, including social interactions, ability perform sports, and-possibly-diet. Italian government established and promulgated lockdown policies on 9 March 2020. We aim at assessing effects Covid-19-induced confinement self-reported food consumption self-selected Italians by means a questionnaire that was created diffused Internet. Nearly half, i.e., 49.6% responders did not substantially...
This document provides supplementary guidance on specific topics for the allergenicity risk assessment of genetically modified plants. In particular, it supplements general recommendations outlined in previous EFSA GMO Panel guidelines and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 503/2013. The addressed are non-IgE-mediated adverse immune reactions to foods, vitro protein digestibility tests endogenous allergenicity. New scientific regulatory developments regarding these three described this...
Olive oil phenolic constituents have been shown, in vitro, to be endowed with potent biological activities including, but not limited to, an antioxidant action. To date, there is no information on the absorption and disposition of such compounds humans. We report that olive phenolics, namely tyrosol hydroxytyrosol, are dose‐dependently absorbed humans after ingestion they excreted urine as glucuronide conjugates. Furthermore, increase dose phenolics administered increased proportion...
Olive oil is the fat of choice in Mediterranean area, where diet has been associated with a lower incidence coronary heart disease and certain cancers. Phenols extra virgin olive are responsible for its peculiar pungent taste high stability. Recent findings demonstrate that phenolics inhibit oxidation low-density lipoproteins (the most atherogenic ones) possess other potent biological activities if demonstrated vivo, could partially account observed healthful effects diets include...
