(Elsevier, 2019)Fatty acid profiles and distribution among lipid classes in the edible parts of seven commonly consumed marine fishes in Chile were investigated. Peruvian morwong, Chilean jack mackerel and Pacific sandperch were found to ... -
Effect of various calcium salts on non-heme iron bioavailability in fasted women of childbearing age
(Elsevier, 2018)Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies are one of the most important public health issues worldwide and iron (Fe) deficiency anemia is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency. Iron deficiency often coexists with ... -
Process of developing text messages on healthy eating and physical activity for Chilean mothers with overweight or obese preschool children to be delivered via WhatsApp
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)Background: Chile has a very high prevalence of childhood obesity; 25% among 4-5y olds. Numerous school-based strategies have been implemented with no lasting improvement. Given that parents are key in obesity prevention ... -
Deletion of the miR172 target site in a TOE-type gene is a strong candidate variant for dominant double-flower trait in Rosaceae
(Blackwell, 2018)Double flowers with supernumerary petals have been selected by humans for their attractive appearance and commercial value in several ornamental plants, including Prunus persica (peach), a recognized model for Rosaceae ... -
The double burden of malnutrition among adolescents: Analysis of data from the Global School-Based Student Health and Health Behavior in School-Aged Children surveys in 57 low- and middle-income countries
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Background: Adults and young children in countries experiencing the nutrition transition are known to be affected simultaneously by undernutrition and overnutrition. Adolescence is a critical period for growth and development. ... -
Preparation and characterization of iron-alginate beads with some types of iron used in supplementation and fortification strategies
(Elsevier, 2018)Our work aimed to develop and characterize different alginate beads with either non-heme iron or a blend of heme/non-heme iron. We chose non-heme iron salts such as ferrous sulfate (FS), ferrous ammonium sulfate (FAS), ... -
In preschool children, physical activity during school time can significantly increase by intensifying locomotor activities during physical education classes
(BioMed Central, 2018)Objectives: After categorizing preschool children into “active and low active” according to their moderate and vigor‑ ous physical activity (MVPA) in PE classes (PE), we compared these two groups within each sex and by ... -
Cetobacterium is a major component of the microbiome of giant amazonian fish (Arapaima gigas) in Ecuador
(MDPI, 2018)Arapaima gigas is a large air-breathing fish found in Amazonian rivers, a characteristic that gives this species an advantage in oxygen-deprived waters. It shows high potential for aquaculture in the Amazon region due ... -
Association between zinc nutritional status and glycemic control in individuals with well-controlled type-2 diabetes
(Elsevier, 2018)Background/objective: Interest in healthy properties of food and nutrients as co-adjuvant in type-2 diabetes therapy has increased in recent years. Zinc supplementation trials have shown improvements in glycemic control in ... -
Review shows that parental reassurance and nutritional advice help to optimise the management of functional gastrointestinal disorders in infants
(Blackwell, 2018)Aim: Regurgitation, infantile colic and functional constipation are common functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) during infancy. Our aim was to carry out a concise review of the literature, evaluate the impact of ... -
Universal Recommendations for the Management of Acute Diarrhea in Nonmalnourished Children
(Lippincott Williams, 2018)Objective: Despite a substantial consistency in recommendations for the management of children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), a high variability in clinical practice and a high rate of inappropriate medical interventions ... -
The role of fur in the transcriptional and Iron homeostatic response of Enterococcus faecalis
(Frontiers Media, 2018)The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) plays a major role in controlling the expression of iron homeostasis genes in bacterial organisms. In this work, we fully characterized the capacity of Fur to reconfigure the global ... -
Gestational weight gain recommendations for Chilean women: a mathematical optimization approach
(Elsevier, 2018)Objectives: We examined if the guidelines for gestational weight gain (GWG) proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) are the most suitable for Chilean women. Study design: Secondary analysis of records of single ... -
Modulation of Mammary Stromal Cell Lactate Dynamics by Ambient Glucose and Epithelial Factors
(Wiley, 2017)Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for a variety of human cancers. Increased access to glucose and that tumor metabolize glucose by a glycolyticprocess even in the presence of oxygen (Warburg effect), provide a framework to ... -
Metabolic Syndrome and Mammographic Density in Premenopausal Chilean Women
(Routledge, 2017)Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been previously associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Mammographic density (MD) is a marker of breast cancer risk. There is little evidence ... -
Anthropometric indicators as predictors of total body fat and cardiometabolic risk factors in Chilean children at 4, 7 and 10 years of age
(Nature, 2017)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE:To compare the association between anthropometric indicators of global and central obesity aspredictors of total body fat (TBF) and cardiometabolic risk factors in children.SUBJECTS/METHODS:A total of ... -
Role of non-coding regulatory RNA in the virulence of human pathogenic vibrios
(Frontiers Media, 2017)In recent decades, the identification of small non-coding RNAs in bacteria has revealed an important regulatory mechanism of gene expression involved in the response to environmental signals and to the control of virulence. ... -
The human serum metabolome of vitamin B-12 deficiency and repletion, and associations with neurological function in elderly adults
(American Society for Nutrition, 2017)Background:The specific metabolomic perturbations that occur in vitamin B-12 deficiency, and their associations withneurological function, are not well characterized.Objective:We sought to characterize the human serum ... -
First-year metabolic control guidelines and their impact on future metabolic control and neurocognitive functioning in children with PKU
(Elsevier, 2017)There is a consensus on the importance of early and life-long treatment for PKU patients. Still, differences existon target blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations for children with PKU in different countries and ... -
Glucose Promotes a Pro-Oxidant and Pro-Inflammatory Stromal Microenvironment Which Favors Motile Properties in Breast Tumor Cells
(Wiley, 2017)Chronic inflammation and metabolic reprogramming have been proposed as hallmarks of cancer development. Currently, many of the functional clues between these two phenomena are studied under the integrative view of functional ...
