Do the Effects of Resveratrol on Thermogenic and Oxidative Capacities in IBAT and Skeletal Muscle Depend on Feeding Conditions?
(MDPI, 2018-10-06)
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of mild energy restriction and resveratrol on thermogenic and oxidative capacity in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and in skeletal muscle. Rats were fed a high-fat ...
Resveratrol-Induced Effects on Body Fat Differ Depending on Feeding Conditions
(MDPI, 2017-11-29)
Science constantly seeks to identify new molecules that could be used as dietary functional ingredients in the fight against obesity and its co-morbidities. Among them, polyphenols represent a group of molecules of increasing ...
Role of Omentin, Vaspin, Cardiotrophin-1, TWEAK and NOV/CCN3 in Obesity and Diabetes Development
(MDPI, 2017-08-15)
Adipose tissue releases bioactive mediators called adipokines. This review focuses on the effects of omentin, vaspin, cardiotrophin-1, Tumor necrosis factor-like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis (TWEAK) and nephroblastoma ...
The influence of dietary conditions in the effects of resveratrol on hepatic steatosis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-01)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the major cause for the development of chronic liver alterations. Hepatic steatosis is the most benign and common form of NAFLD, although its potential to evolve into ...
Scientific Evidence Supporting the Beneficial Effects of Isoflavones on Human Health
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
Isoflavones are phenolic compounds with a chemical structure similar to that of estradiol. They are present in several vegetables, mainly in legumes such as soy, white and red clover, alfalfa and beans. The most significant ...
Current Knowledge on Beetroot Bioactive Compounds: Role of Nitrate and Betalains in Health and Disease
(MDPI, 2021-06-07)
An increase in the prevalence of noncommunicable chronic diseases has been occurring in recent decades. Among the deaths resulting from these conditions, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) stand out as the main contributors. ...
Are miRNA-103, miRNA-107 and miRNA-122 Involved in the Prevention of Liver Steatosis Induced by Resveratrol?
(MDPI, 2017-04)
The aim of the present study was to determine whether the reduction in liver fat previously observed in our laboratory in a cohort of rats which had been fed an obesogenic diet was mediated by changes in the expression of ...
Distinct Correlations Between Lipogenic Gene Expression and Fatty Acid Composition of Subcutaneous Fat Among Cattle Breeds
(Biomed Central, 2018-05-23)
Background: The fatty acid (FA) composition of adipose tissue influences the nutritional quality of meat products. The unsaturation level of FAs is determined by fatty acid desaturases such as stearoyl- CoA desaturases ...
Unraveling the In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Vismia Baccifera Against HepG2: Role of Hydrogen Peroxide
(Elsevier, 2018-06-27)
Currently natural products derived from plants are receiving huge attention because of their antitumor activities. In previous work we reported that an aqueous leaf extract of Vismia baccifera induced toxicity in HepG2. ...
