Omega-3 fatty acids, types of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are most abundant in fish and fish oil, have long been associated with lower risk and/or mortality from heart disease. Meta-analyses of supplementation trials have, however, been equivocal as to their benefit. In this article we’ll see whether it can be ascertained whether they have benefit […]
In recent years, dietary models have been studied in relation to autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and some have been interested in a possible therapeutic use.

The findings in this article indicate that (–)-epicatechin alone or in combination with exercise induces an integrated response that includes structural and metabolic changes in skeletal and cardiac muscles resulting in greater endurance capacity. These results, therefore, warrant the further evaluation of the underlying mechanism of action of (–)-epicatechin and its potential clinical application as […]
L’Idrossitirosolo, un composto fenolico dell’ olio d’oliva, esercita un effetto antinfiammatorio nelle malattie cardiovascolari. Studi recenti hanno riscontrato che l’autofagia era un obiettivo terapeutico per queste malattie, tuttavia, l’effetto dell’Idrossitirosolo sull’autofagia nei fibroblasti vascolari adventiviali (VAF) rimane ancora sconosciuto. Pertanto, in questo studio, hanno cercato di determinare l’effetto dell’Idrossitirosolo sull’autofagia cellulare e sul relativo pathway […]
