    • Anthocyanins from aristotelia chilensis prevent olanzapine-induced hepatic-lipid accumulation but notinsulin ... 
      Campo, Andrea del; Salamanca, Catalina; Fajardo, Ángelo; Díaz Castro, Francisco; Bustos, Catalina; Calfío, Camila; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo Hernán; Pastene Navarrete, Edgar Rafael; Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Milla, Luis A.; Villarroel, Carlos A.; Cubillos, Francisco A.; Aranda, Mario; Rojo, Leonel E. (MDPI, 2021)
      Type 2 diabetes and obesity are major problems worldwide and dietary polyphenols have shown efficacy to ameliorate signs of these diseases. Anthocyanins from berries display potent antioxidants and protect against weight ...
    • Association between zinc nutritional status and glycemic control in individuals with well-controlled type-2 ... 
      Pérez Bazán, Álvaro; Arenas Rojas, Pamela; Carrasco Naranjo, Fernando; Basfi-fer Obregón, Karen; Pérez Bravo, Francisco; Codoceo, Juana; Inostroza Escobar, Jorge; Galgani, José E.; Gilmore, L. Anne; Ruz Ortiz, Manuel (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 ...
    • Central obesity and not age increases skeletal muscle lipids, without influencing lean body mass and strength 
      Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Jara, Natalia; Leiva Balich, Laura; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Claudio, Silva; Pañella, Loreto; Henríquez, Sandra; Bunout Barnett, Daniel (AULA MEDICA EDICIONES, 2015)
      Background/Aims: To measure skeletal muscle lipid infiltration, its association with insulin resistance (IR) lean mass and function, in Chilean men differing in age and body composition. Our hypothesis was that muscle lipid ...
    • Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Their Role in Health and Disease 
      Uribarri, Jaime; Castillo, María Dolores del; Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Filip, Rosana; Gugliucci, Alejandro; Luevano Contreras, Claudia; Macias Cervantes, Maciste; Markowicz Bastos, Deborah; Medrano, Alejandra; Menini, Teresita; Portero Otin, Manuel; Rojas, Armando; Rodrigues Sampaio, Geni; Wrobel, Kazimierz; Wrobel, Katarzyna; Garay Sevilla, Eugenia (American Society for Nutrition, 2015)
      Over the past 2 decades there has been increasing evidence supporting an important contribution from food-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to the body pool of AGEs and therefore increased oxidative stress ...
    • High cardiometabolic risk in healthy Chilean adolescents: associations with anthropometric, biological and ... 
      Burrows, Raquel; Correa Burrows, Paulina; Reyes Jedlicki, Marcela; Blanco, Estela; Albala Brevis, Cecilia; Gahagan, Sheila (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2016)
      Objective: To analyse the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in healthy adolescents of low to middle socio-economic status and to study the influence of anthropometric, biological and lifestyle factors on the risk ...
    • La microbiota intestinal: Un nuevo actor en el desarrollo de la obesidad 
      Morales, Pamela; Brignardello, Jerusa; Gotteland, Martín (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2010-08)
      Intestinal microbiota (IM) plays a role in the development of obesity and its associated low-grade inflammation. Bacterial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of germ-free mice (without microbiota) increases by 60% ...
    • Mechanisms linking childhood weight status to metabolic risk in adolescence 
      Martínez, Suzanna M.; Blanco, Estela; Burrows Argote, Raquel; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, Sheila (Wiley, 2020)

    • Mifepristone for treatment of metabolic syndrome: beyond cushing’s syndrome 
      Díaz Castro, Francisco; Monsalves Álvarez, Matías; Rojo, Leonel E.; Campo, Andrea del; Troncoso, Rodrigo (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      A growing body of research indicates that cortisol, the glucocorticoid product of the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, plays a role in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. In this regard, chronic ...
    • Obesity and impairment of pancreatic beta-cellfunction in early adulthood, independent of obesity age of ...
