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 […]
Resveratrol; a neuroprotective supplement for Alzheimer's disease
The polyphenolic compound resveratrol (3;4';5-trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring phytochemical which has been found in more than 70 plant species; including herbs and human food products such as grapes; berries; and peanuts. Resveratrol was first isolated in 1940; however; little attention was paid to it until its benefits in coronary heart disease were studied in […]

Dietary patterns and risk of Parkinson's disease: a case-control study in Japan
Background: Nearly all epidemiologic studies examining the association between the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) and diet have focused on single foods and specific nutrients. However; epidemiologic evidence for the association of dietary pattern with PD; namely the measurement of overall diet by considering the cumulative effects of nutrients is extremely limited. We conducted a […]
Changes in the phenolic and lipophilic composition; in the enzyme inhibition and antiproliferative activity of Ficus carica L. cultivar Dottato fruits during maturation
Fruits of Ficus carica cultivar Dottato from Italy were examined to assess how the stage of ripeness influences their chemical composition; antioxidant activity; pancreatic lipase inhibition and antiproliferative properties on C32 melanoma cells. First harvested fruits (June) showed a major content in furanocoumarins and pyranocoumarins whereas the fruits collected in September showed the highest polyphenolic […]
