Association of Plasma Phospholipid Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids with Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
BACKGROUND: Experimental studies suggest long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) may reduce risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior studies evaluating fish or n-3 PUFA consumption from dietary questionnaires and incident AF have been conflicting. Circulating levels of n-3 PUFA provide an objective measurement of exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 3;326 US men and women […]
Nuts; especially walnuts; have both antioxidant quantity and efficacy and exhibit significant potential health benefits
Free and total (after basic hydrolysis) polyphenols in nine types of raw and roasted nuts and two types of peanut butter (54 commercial samples) were analyzed after methanol extraction by a single step Folin-Ciocalteu reagent using catechin as standard. Walnuts had the highest free and total polyphenols in both the combined raw and roasted samples. […]
Effects of high adherence to mediterranean or low-fat diets in medicated secondary prevention patients
Although the Mediterranean diet (MD) and the low-fat Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Diet (TLCD) promote equivalent increases in event-free survival in secondary coronary prevention; possible mechanisms of such complete dietary patterns in these patients; usually medicated; are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the MD versus the TLCD in markers […]
