proanthocyanidin c1/inflammation

The etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders are not limited to the brain. Anxiety and depression are normally associated with inflammation reactions and interleukin (IL) related pathways are most evidently involved. Previous animal studies showed that administration of

It is now recognized that overweight individuals have altered microbiota which could lead to intestinal barrier defects and chronic inflammation disorders. Polyphenols such as Proanthocyanidins may modulate the gut microbiota thereby providing beneficial effects on metabolic health. Inulin is a well

Over the past decade it has become clear that the gut microbiota is a key determinant of obesity and that its perturbations by nutritional insults play a significant role in the development of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and

High glycemic index (GI) foods generally contain simple sugars and/or highly processed and refined carbohydrates (e.g., instant oatmeal and white bread). These foods are rapidly digested, which raises blood glucose and insulin to higher concentrations and more rapidly compared to low GI food items.

Material and Methods Study Design and Population A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of 21 days of duration was conducted among 20 volunteer students of Dentistry of the University of Sevilla. No previous studies have been found in the literature, so 20 subjects were

Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disorder with a chronic and debilitating course. It is the archetypal psychotic disorder with a prevalence of about 1% worldwide. The treatment of this psychotic disorder has evolved over the years after the discovery of Chlorpromazine. Despite the availability

During screening phase plaque samples of healthy individuals were tested via polymerase chain reaction for the prevalence of P.g.. At baseline those identified P.g. positive participants received a supragingival debridement (professional tooth cleaning) and were randomly assigned to the test- or

Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignant tumor of women in Nigeria. In Nigeria, among the urban women, the numbers of breast cancer patients were increasing annually, both to aging of the population and increase in age-specific incidences. Case control studies in parts of the country have

More than 31% of Connecticut adults are former smokers, which may contribute to the high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in this state. Atherosclerosis, a hallmark of CVD, is a progressive life-long process. Chronic cigarette smoking increases atherosclerosis and CVD risk. While smoking cessation

Background and Introduction It has long been known that increased intake of plant products results in reduced risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, which are the most important causes of death and disability in Western societies. This protective effect has been found to correlate with

We propose to use a supplement made by NutraMetrix (called OPC-3), consisting of oligomeric proanthocyanidins derived from grape seed, pine bark, bilberry, citrus and red wine extracts, to determine effects on endothelial function, lipoproteins and inflammation. The primary outcome measure will be
