Background: Nowadays the food production, supply and consumption chain represent a major cause of ecological pressure on natural environment, diet links worldwide human health with environmental sustainability. Food policy, dietary guidelines security strategies need to evolve from limited historical approach, mainly focused nutrients health, new one considering environmental, socio-economic cultural impact—and thus sustainability—of diets. Objective: To present an updated version...

Although adequate nutrition is essential for optimal neural activity and survival, mild energy restriction may improve cognition prolong longevity. Energy status monitored by the cellular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) system, whereas leptin regulates total balance. We investigated roles of AMPK in survival under diet (DR). Hippocampal increases with restriction. Modest activation (DR to 60%) induces neurogenesis improves cognition. However, DR 40% augmented activity, reduced...
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe and disabling psychiatric disorder, characterized by profound weight loss body image disturbance. Family twin studies indicate significant genetic contribution to this disorder although no mutation has yet been identified. The endocannabinoid system recently implicated in many physiological functions including appetite regulation. We, therefore, undertook family based study test the hypothesis whether polymorphism of CNR1 gene, which encodes human CB1...
