The aim was to assess inflammatory markers among adults and adolescents in relation the adherence Mediterranean diet. A random sample (219 males 379 females) of Balearic Islands population (12-65 years) anthropometrically measured provided a blood determine biomarkers inflammation. Dietary habits were assessed dietary pattern calculated. prevalence metabolic syndrome increased with age both sexes. diet adolescent 51.3% 45.7% adults, whereas females 53.1% 44.3%, respectively. In males, higher...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. MetS also characterized by an increase oxidative stress which contributes to impaired inflammation, vascular function, atherosclerosis. The aim was assess the inflammatory markers in plasma PBMCs adults or without MetS. Antioxidant parameters were measured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 80 men women over 55 80-years-old residing Balearic Islands previously documented...
Humans can reduce inorganic nitrate (NO(3)(-)) to nitrite (NO(2)(-)), nitric oxide (NO), and other bioactive nitrogen oxides. The purpose of this study was test the hypothesis that a single dose before exercise might enhance tolerance endurance athletes high intensity exercise.Eleven cyclists (age = 34.3 ± 4.8 yr, VO(2peak) 65.1 6.2 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1)) participated in randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Subjects received dietary supplementation with (NaNO(3) 10 mg·kg(-1) body mass) or...
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) due to eccentric activity is associated with inflammatory responses and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that sustain both inflammation oxidative stress. Curcumin, a powerful promoter anti-oxidant response, one the best-investigated natural products, now commercially available as lecithin delivery system (Meriva®, Indena SpA, Milan) improved bio-availability. The aim this study was test whether curcumin could attenuate damage from stress...
Abstract Background Data on the association between body self-perception and eating patterns among adolescents are scarce. This study assessed image normal-weight, overweight obese adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional survey ( n = 1231; 12–17 years old) was carried out in Balearic Islands, Spain. Anthropometry, image, socio-economic determinants, food consumption were studied. Results Fifty-one percent of boys sixty girls that wished to be thinner had less than or equal 3 occasions per...
People tend to underestimate their current weight and overestimate height minimizing health risk factors. The aim of this study was assess body satisfaction, acceptance image, concern dieting habits among a Mediterranean adult population. Cross-sectional survey carried out (2009–2010) in the Balearic Islands, Spain. A random sample (n = 1081) young (18–35 y.o.) middle-aged adults (36–55 interviewed anthropometrically measured. Women were more dissatisfied being overweight, less underweight,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the clinical application of at pressures higher than atmospheric pressure. HBOT has been effectively used to manage diverse pathologies, such as non-healing diabetic ulcers. The aim present study was analyse effects on plasma oxidative and inflammation biomarkers growth factors in patients with chronic wounds. participants received 20 sessions (five sessions/week), blood samples were obtained 1, 5 20, before 2 h after HBOT. An additional (control) sample...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could induce oxidative damage at long distance from its generation site and it is also an important signalling molecule that induces some genes related to stress. Our objective was study the plasma blood cells capability detoxify H2O2 after intense exercise correlation with damage. Blood samples were taken nine professional cycling, participating in a mountain stage, under basal conditions 3 h competition. Catalase glutathione peroxidase activities decreased (40 50%...
Purpose Supplementation with inorganic nitrate has been suggested to be an ergogenic aid for athletes as nitric oxide donor. The purpose of this study was determine whether ingestion sodium benefits well-trained performing a 40-min exercise test in laboratory conditions. In addition, we investigated the effect supplement on plasma levels endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitrated proteins. Methods Thirteen trained participated randomized, double-blind, crossover study. They performed cycle ergometer...
To assess prevailing food patterns among Balearic Islands' adolescents, and socio-economic lifestyle determinants.Cross-sectional nutritional survey carried out (2007-2008) in the Islands, a Mediterranean region. Dietary assessment was based on 145-item semi-quantitative FFQ two non-consecutive 24 h recalls. Anthropometric measurements questions related to socio-economic, lifestyle, physical activity body image were assessed.Data obtained from representative sample of all inhabitants living...
Background and Aims Dietary habits in the Mexican population have changed dramatically over last few years, which are reflected increased overweight obesity prevalence. The aim was to examine prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated risk factors Northern adults aged ≥16 years. Methods Results study a population-based cross-sectional nutritional survey carried out State Nuevo León, Mexico. included sub-sample 1,200 subjects 16 who took part Survey Nutrition Health–Nuevo León...
