(2000-11)Objective: Aging is associated with increased risk of developing anemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Wheat-based staple foods are iron fortified in Chile. We aimed to establish the prevalence and etiology of anemia in ...
-
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2011-04)Background: Ageing is associated with increased risk of poor health and functional decline. Uncertainties about the health-related benefits of nutrition and physical activity for older people have precluded their widespread ...
-
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2010-09-28)BACKGROUND: The influence of the stromal microenvironment on the progression of epithelial cancers has been demonstrated. Unravelling the mechanisms by which stromal cells affect epithelial behaviour will contribute in ...
-
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-09)Cadmium is a toxicant with known carcinogenic and endocrine disruptor effects. We have previously reported that prenatal exposure to cadmium may induce low birth weight which is associated to increased foetal exposure ...
