Aim:
The goal of the present study is to investigate the effects of two olive oils with different antioxidant content on cardiovascular risk factors (blood-coagulation parameters, platelet indices, red blood cell count, inflammatory markers, lipid profile, nitric oxide and cortisol) in patients

Heart failure (HF) is the most common principal diagnosis for hospital admission in patients over 65 years old. There are two types of HF, those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and those with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Approximately half of patients with the clinical syndrome of HF
A randomized, double-blind, controlled crossover design will compare the short-term (two and four week) response to FDSP intake compared to an isocaloric control powder in overweight and obese adults. Twenty overweight or obese male or postmenopausal females (40-65 years of age) will be randomized
The most recent systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses have indicated significant and nutritionally-relevant composition differences between organic and conventional foods (crops, meat and dairy products). Specifically, these systematic reviews reported that:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period, 4-week crossover pilot clinical trial consisting of 2 postprandial tests for each period. Overweight or obese postmenopausal women and men aged 40 to 65 will be recruited from the greater Fort Collins, CO area. After telephone
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Several studies have demonstrated that fruit and vegetable rich diets significantly reduced blood pressure and reduced the risk of ischemic stroke and cardiovascular disease in general, the exact mechanisms
Patients will be divided into two groups: treatment and control (sham group). The sham group will be submitted to the procedure to fit the stimulation equipment. However, these patients will not be submitted to stimulation. Both groups will undergo a physical examination at the start and end of the
