Structural Characterization of Water-Soluble Polysaccharides from the Fruiting Bodies of Lentinus edodes Mushrooms
Authors: Irene Palacios, Eva Guillamon, Ana Garcia-Lafuente and Ana VillaresWater-soluble polysaccharides have been extracted from the fruiting bodies of Lentinus edodes mushrooms. Three carbohydrate fractions (cold water, hot water and hot aqueous NaOH) from the mushrooms were separated by ethanol precipitation. Size exclusion chromatography revealed the presence of a unique polysaccharide in each fraction. Cold water fraction polysaccharide (PLeC) was composed of glucose and gala Read More

The Association Between Dietary Fat Intake and Allergic Diseases
Authors: Marie Standl and Joachim HeinrichThe prevalence of allergic diseases increased during past decades, but has more recently plateaued. Dietary changes, especially an altered fatty acid consumption of diet, may be contributing to this phenomenon. However, the results of studies examining this hypothesis remain inconsistent. This review extends the work previously conducted by Sausenthaler et al. which summarized the literature published up to 2005. The cu Read More

Recent Advances in Health Promoting Effect of Dietary Polyphenols
Authors: Kanti Bhooshan Pandey and Syed Ibrahim RizviAssociation between intake of polyphenols and reduction in the risk of disease has been reported in cohort studies. Extensive researches which started after World War II have proposed many mechanisms to explain the biology behind this association. The exact molecular interactions of polyphenols at cellular level in the biological system remains speculative. Besides, doses for effective response and bioavailability are ot Read More

Motives Underlying Healthy and Unhealthy Eating Among University Students in Mauritius
Authors: Ruvina Seebun, Fawzi M. Mahomoodally, Anwar H. Subratty and Deerajen RamasawmyPanoply of influences operates to shape particular food choices. Thus, probing into the drivers of people's healthy food choices is primordial to addressing the public health issue of obesity. The aim of the current study was to investigate the factors that influence University students' choice for healthy and unhealthy foods. For the cross-sectional study, data using a structured questionnaire were collected from a stratified sa Read More

The Antimicrobial Activity of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) Extracts: I. Measurement of Sensitivity and Attenuation of Gram-Positive and Gram- Negative Bacteria and C. albicans in Culture
To understand the effect of extracts of cherries (Prunus avium) on bacterial growth, the antimicrobial activities of sweet cherry extracts (SCE) were measured on a wide spectrum variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial spp. and Candida albicans in culture. SCEs were subdivided into variables: whole juice extracts (WJE), methanolextracted juice (MEJ), ddH2O-extracted pomace (dPOM) and methanol-extracted po Read More

The Antimicrobial Activity of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) Extracts: II. Measurement of Sensitivity and Attenuation of Gram-Positive and Gram- Negative Bacteria and C. albicans in Culture
We have previously measured the antimicrobial activities of sweet cherry extracts (SCE) in grampositive/ negative bacteria and C. albicans using disk diffusion method [1]. Extracts were subdivided into the following categories: Whole juice (WJE), methanol-extracted (MEJ), ddH2O-extracted pomace (dPOM) and methanol-extracted pomace (mPOM). In this study the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were assessed @ Read More

Influence of Propionate on Appetite Control and Metabolism
Authors: Jean-Philippe Chaput, M. Carole Thivierge, Antoine Thuard and Angelo TremblayWhen used in animal feeding, the majority of evidence indicates a role for propionate in decreasing feed intake. Although anorectic effects of propionate have been extensively documented in ruminants and other farm animals, evidence in humans is scarce. In general, human studies show a beneficial effect of bread products added with high doses of sodium propionate on postprandial glucose and insulin responses as well Read More

The “7 Steps Multidisciplinary Program” Approach to Morbidly Obese Patients: An Italian Experience
The aim of this longitudinal study is to describe a multi-step long-term multidisciplinary approach to morbidly obesity and report 5 years results in a representative sample of obese patients. One hundred and sixty four obese patients, enrolled to the long term, multidisciplinary weight loss program at San Luca's Hospital (Torino, Italy), were all recruited from May 2005 to December 2005 and they were followed up until Dec Read More

Meal Replacement Beverage Twice a Day in Overweight and Obese Adults (MDRC2012-001)
Authors: Joy L. Frestedt, Lindsay R. Young and Margie BellThis open label, single arm, prospective, interventional, weight loss trial evaluated a meal replacement beverage (Right Size® Smoothie) used to replace breakfast and lunch each day for 12 weeks (7 clinic visits) as part of a calorierestricted diet in overweight and obese adults. A total of 155 individuals were screened, 55 enrolled and 28 completed this 12 week study. Subjects were obese (mean weight: 206 pounds and BMI: 3 Read More
