Estimation of Health and Economic Benefits of Commercial Peanut Immunotherapy Products: A Cost-effectiveness Analysis.
IMPORTANCE: Commercial epicutaneous peanut immunotherapy (EPIT) and peanut oral immunotherapy (POIT) may offer significant quality-of-life improvements for patients with peanut allergy, but the cost-effectiveness of commercial peanut immunotherapies is uncharacterized. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate critical inputs associated with the cost-effectiveness of EPIT and POIT from a societal perspective. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Economic evaluation in which […]
Proanthocyanidin Interferes with Intrinsic Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms of Gram‐Negative Bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance is spreading at an alarming rate among pathogenic bacteria in both medicine and agriculture. Interfering with the intrinsic resistance mechanisms displayed by pathogenic bacteria has the potential to make antibiotics more effective and decrease the spread of acquired antibiotic resistance. Here, it is demonstrated that cranberry proanthocyanidin (cPAC) prevents the evolution of resistance […]
Identification of Plasma Lipid Metabolites Associated with Nut Consumption in US Men and Women.
BACKGROUND: Intake of nuts has been inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, partly through inducing a healthy lipid profile. How nut intake may affect lipid metabolites remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the plasma lipid metabolites associated with habitual nut consumption in US men and […]
Mechanisms Underlying the Cardiometabolic Protective Effect of Walnut Consumption in Obese Subjects: A Cross‐Over, Randomized, Double‐Blinded, Controlled Inpatient Physiology Study.
AIMS: To assess the effects of walnuts on cardiometabolic outcomes in obese subjects and to explore underlying mechanisms using novel methods including metabolomic, lipidomic, glycomic, and microbiome analysis integrated with lipid particle fractionation, appetite-regulating hormones and hemodynamic measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10 obese subjects were enrolled in this cross-over, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients […]
Pistachio consumption modulates DNA oxidation and genes related to telomere maintenance: a crossover randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND: Telomere attrition may play an important role in the pathogenesis and severity of type 2 diabetes (T2D), increasing the probability of β cell senescence and leading to reduced cell mass and decreased insulin secretion. Nutrition and lifestyle are known factors modulating the aging process and insulin resistance/secretion, determining the risk of T2D. OBJECTIVES: The […]
Cranberry Extract May Interfere with Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms
Cranberry Extract May Interfere with Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms
Hazelnut consumption improves testicular antioxidant function and semen quality in young and old male rats.
The effects of hazelnut supplemented diet on the reproductive system of young and old male rats were investigated. Young male rats were grouped into young control group (YCG) and young hazelnut group (YHG). Old male rats were grouped into old control group (OCG), old hazelnut group (OHG), and old vitamin E group (OEG). While YCG […]
Maternal nut intake in pregnancy and child neuropsychological development up to 8 years old: a population-based cohort study in Spain.
There is scientific evidence on the protective effects of nut intake against cognitive decline in the elderly; however, this effect has been less explored in child neurodevelopment and no studies have explored the potential longitudinal association with nut intake during pregnancy. We aimed to analyze the association of maternal nut intake during pregnancy with child […]
