Multiple sclerosis is a pro-inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The etiology of MS is complex and poorly understood. Both genetic and environmental factors play a role and recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota is one of the key environmental factors. Gut
The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor implicated in a range of key cellular events. In the gut, AHR is crucial for maintaining intestinal barrier immune homeostasis. The physiology of the AHR, however, is not completely understood; its precise gut luminal
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with multiple comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, anemia, mineral and bone disorders, malnutrition, body wasting, muscle loss (sarcopenia), neurological problems and infections resulting in a poor survival. Important promoters of these obstacles
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the first cause of handicap in individuals over 40 years-old in France. OA physiopathology is driven in part by local joint inflammation responsible for pain and joint destruction. Experimental studies have shown that resveratrol, a molecule antagonist to the aryl hydrocarbon

Study rationale: The main risk factors of COPD are tobacco smoking, biomass smoking and occupational factors. Tobacco smoking is well-known risk factor so tobacco induced COPD is completely established. Nevertheless the meaning of occupational factors which are less famous are equally important.

In recent years many scientific studies demonstrated that lutein, a nutrient belonging to the family of carotenoids, may constitute a valid and important preventive and protective factor against a large number of chronic diseases affecting millions of people around the world . Studies from
Prematurity, diseases of prematurity and growth-disorders of newborn infants contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality seen in newborn infants [1,2,3]. One out of eight newborn infants in the USA is born premature (gestational age less than 37 completed weeks). In 2004, of the 27,860
Public health is concerned with the physical, mental and environmental health of communities and populations at risk for disease and injury. Generally, the determination of health effects associated with indoor and outdoor exposures is difficult since documented cause-and-effect relationships are
We will recruit 450 subjects ranging from 9 to 11 years old (or 3rd to 5th graders). These children who commute to school will perform repeated monthly measures of pulmonary function tests using spirometry, pulmonary inflammation via exhaled breath, and asthma symptoms and clinical encounters, up to
