(Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)Background and aims: childhood obesity in Chile is a serious problem with the prevalence continuing to increase over the last decade, despite all governmental efforts to diminish it. Studies indicate that the consumption ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2006-08)Objective: We compared the effects of an arginine-supplemented diet with those of an isocaloric isonitrogenous diet on immune and metabolic response of children with burns. Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized, ...
-
(2006)Copper is an essential and toxic trace metal for bacteria and, therefore, must be tightly regulated in the cell. Enterococcus hirae is a broadly studied model for copper homeostasis. The intracellular copper levels in ...
-
(Springer, 2013)Copper (Cu) deficiency has been reported to influence lipid metabolism, but the effects in humans are controversial. To evaluate the effects of 8 mg Cu/day supplementation (as copper sulfate) for 6 months on the lipid ...

(ELSEVIER, 2007-10)Objective: Periconceptional intake of folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs), a frequent birth defect that can cause significant infant mortality and disability. In Chile, fortification of wheat flour ...
-
(AME Publishing, 2022)Background: Previous studies have examined the "fat but fit" paradox, revealing that greater levels of physical fitness may diminish the harmful consequences of excess weight on cardiometabolic risk. Despite the above, ...

(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008-07-01)Cu2+ ions and GSH molecules interact to swiftly form the complex Cu(I)–glutathione. We investigated the potential capacity of such complex to reduce molecular oxygen. The addition of SOD to a solution containing Cu(I)– ...
-
(Springer, 2010)Cu2? ions and reduced glutathione (GSH) swiftly interact to form the physiologically occurring Cu(I)–[GSH]2 complex. Prompted by the recently reported ability of this complex to generate superoxide radicals from molecular ...
-
Cu(II)–disulfide complexes display simultaneous superoxide dismutase- and catalase-like activities (Elsevier, 2013)Superoxide is a potentially toxic by-product of cellular metabolism.We have addressed here the in vitro ability of complexes formed between copper(II) ions and various biologically-occurring disulfides (RSSR: oxidized ...
-
(Sociedad Chilena de Nutrición, 2018)The objective of this article is to present the Health Promotion Cube, a pedagogical resource that facilitates a strategic vision, by integrating approaches for the formulation and analysis of health promotion and ...

(MDPI, 2021)Because of its outstanding biological and industrial importance, many efforts have been made to characterize the mycobiota of new environments and their biochemical and biotechnological potentials. Gut mycobiota can be ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)This study aimed to describe the current practices in the diagnosis and dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) in Latin America, as well as the main barriers to treatment. We developed a 44-item online survey aimed ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011)Copper is a micronutrient that is required for proper metabolic functioning of most prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. To sustain an adequate supply of copper, a cell requires molecular mechanisms that control the ...
-
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 2003-07-04)Mouse-transformed keratinocytes cultured in the presence of transforming growth factor 1 (TGF- 1) acquire an array of morphologic and functional properties that give rise to a migratory phenotype that expresses mesenchymal ...
