The Effects of Agave Fructans in a Functional Food Consumed by Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2023)Irritable bowel syndrome displays three different subtypes: constipation (IBS-C), diarrhea (IBS-D), and mixed (IBS-M). Treatment with dietary fiber is used, with consideration given both to the chemical composition of the ... -
Role of bifidobacteria on infant health
(MDPI, 2021)Bifidobacteria are among the predominant microorganisms during infancy, being a dominant microbial group in the healthy breastfed infant and playing a crucial role in newborns and infant development. Not only the levels ... -
The effect of the Mediterranean diet on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels: The PREDIMED-NAVARRA randomized trial
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Objectives There are no human studies assessing the effect of nutritional interventions on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations. The aim of this study was to assess the role of a nutritional ... -
Physical activity and sex modulate obesity risk linked to 3111T/C gene variant of the CLOCK gene in an elderly population: the SUN Project
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Genetic factors may interact with physical activity levels to modify obesity risk. Our aim was to explore the effect of rs1801260 SNP (3111T/C) of CLOCK gene, on obesity risk and to examine their interaction with lifestyle ... -
Pro12Ala variant of the PPARG2 gene increases body mass index: An updated meta-analysis encompassing 49,092 subjects
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2013)Objective The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARG2) gene has been intensively studied with relation to obesity and metabolic disorders. Indeed, a large number of studies assessing the association ... -
Optimized germinated soybean/cornstarch extrudate and its in vitro fermentation with human inoculum
(Springer Nature Link, 2020-10-03)The aim of this work was to optimise a soybean/cornstarch extrudate by adjusting a central composite design and to maximise a product with a high protein and resistant starch (RS) content by evaluating the indigestible ... -
Clinical efficacy and immunological changes subjacent to egg oral immunotherapy
(Elsevier, 2015)Background Evidence of the efficacy of food oral immunotherapy (OIT) is not robust enough to change clinical practice from current standard management. Furthermore, the immunologic changes underlying food desensitization ... -
Lifestyle factors modify obesity risk linked to PPARG2 and FTO variants in an elderly population: A cross-sectional analysis in the SUN Project
(Springer Nature Link, 2012)Genetic factors may interact with lifestyle factors to modify obesity risk. FTO and PPARG2 are relevant obesogenes. Our aim was to explore the effect of Pro12Ala (rs1801282) of PPARG2 and rs9939609 of FTO on obesity risk ... -
Genotype patterns at CLU, CR1, PICALM and APOE, cognition and Mediterranean diet: The PREDIMED-NAVARRA trial
(Springer Nature Link, 2014)The traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has shown beneficial effects on cognitive decline. Nevertheless, diet–gene interactions have been poorly evaluated. We aimed to investigate diet–gene interaction in the ... -
Evaluating Mediterranean diet and risk of chronic disease in cohort studies: an umbrella review of meta-analyses
(Springer Nature Link, 2018)Several meta-analyses have been published summarizing the associations of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) with chronic diseases. We evaluated the quality and credibility of evidence from these meta-analyses as well as ... -

Adherence to mediterranean diet and risk of cancer: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2017)The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to gain further insight into the effects of adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MedD) on risk of overall cancer mortality, risk of different types of cancer, and ... -
Mediterranean diet and cognitive function: The sun project
(Elsevier, 2015)Objective Our aim was to evaluate the association between adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and cognitive function in 823 participants (62 ± 6 years at baseline) from a Spanish prospective cohort (SUN ... -
Dietary patterns and type 2 diabetes among Ghanaian migrants in Europe and their compatriots in Ghana: the RODAM study
(Springer Nature Link, 2018)Background/objectives We aimed to study the associations of dietary patterns (DPs) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Ghanaian adults. Subjects/methods In the multi-centre, cross-sectional RODAM (Research on Obesity and ... -
Food consumption, nutrient intake, and dietary patterns in Ghanaian migrants in Europe and their compatriots in Ghana
(Informa UK Limited, 2017)Background : West African immigrants in Europe are disproportionally affected by metabolic conditions compared to European host populations. Nutrition transition through urbanisation and migration may contribute to this ... -
Prebiotic effects of a mixture of agavins and green banana flour in a mouse model of obesity
(Elsevier, 2020)Dietary fibers from agavins and green banana flour are resistant to digestion but promote beneficial fermentation by gut microbiota. Therefore, the main of this work was evaluate potential synergistic effects of AV and BF ... -
Sprouted grains in product development. Case studies of sprouted wheat for baking flours and fermented beverages
(Elsevier, 2021)Sprouted grains are a new addition to the food industry, being used as an ingredient in multiple food product developments because of their high nutritional value, interesting technological properties and sensory attributes. ... -
Microbial diversity in dry-cured Iberian ham: an approach to the concept of microbial terroir
(Elsevier, 2024)Microbial terroir has been scarcely studied in the dry-cured ham industry. The microbial population and ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination in two Spanish facilities located in a specific geographical region (Salamanca) with ... -
The establishment of cow’s milk protein allergy in infants is related with a deficit of regulatory T cells (Treg) and vitamin D
(Springer Nature, 2017)Background: Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy in infants. However, little is known about which specific immune mechanisms are related with the CMPA onset. The objective was to investigate ... -
The Immunological Mechanisms Involved in the Pathophysiology of Allergic Proctocolitis
(MDPI, 2025)The pathophysiology of non-IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy is mostly unknown. Previous studies suggested a mechanism mediated by T cells, but this was not confirmed in subsequent studies. The aim of this study was to ...
