Influence of extraction variables on the structure and physical properties of salmon gelatin
(Elsevier, 2017)This work focuses on investigating the effect of extraction conditions (pH and time) on the biochemical and physical properties of salmon gelatin (SG). SG was extracted from salmon skins under different pH and time ... -
Characterization of the intestinal microbiota of wild-caught and farmed fine flounder (Paralichthys adspersus)
(Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2017)A comparative analysis of the cultivable intestinal microbiota of farmed (AF) and wild-caught (WF) Paralichthys adspersus was performed. The 16S rRNA gene was used for taxa identification, and the ITS region for strain ... -
Irisin is weakly associated with usual physical activity in young overweight women
(Aula medica ediciones, 2017)Purpose: To determine if irisin plasma levels are associated with regular physical activity, body composition and metabolic parameters in women subjected to calorie restriction. Subjects and methods: We studied 42 women ... -
An in vitro study of the antioxidant and antihemolytic properties of buddleja globosa (Matico)
(Springer, 2017)The antioxidant and antihemolytic properties contained in the leaves of Buddleja globosa (B. globosa), also known as "Matico," were determined. Aqueous extracts of leaves were assayed in human erythrocytes and molecular ... -
Quercetin and related flavonoids conserve their antioxidant properties despite undergoing chemical or enzymatic oxidation
(Elsevier, 2017)Oxidation of a phenolic group in quercetin is assumed to compromise its antioxidant properties. To address this assumption, the ROS-scavenging, Folin-Ciocalteau- and Fe-reducing capacities of quercetin and thirteen ... -
High levels of circulating folate concentrations are associated with DNA methylation of tumor suppressor and repair genes p16, MLH1, and MGMT in elderly Chileans
(BIOMED Central Ltd., 2017)Background: Changes in DNA methylation, one of the most studied epigenetic mechanisms, are considered an initial marker for early cancer detection. We evaluated how availability of dietary factors (folates and vitamin B12) ... -
High DHEAS is associated with earlier pubertal events in girls but not in boys
(Oxford, 2017)Context: Premature adrenarche (PA) has been associated with increased metabolic risk. Objective: To describe the risk of precocious thelarche (PT; ,8 years), pubarche (PP; girls ,8 years, boys ,9 years), and gonadarche ... -
