Animal and vegetable-based proteins differ on their effect on many health outcomes, but their relationship with unhealthy aging is uncertain. Thus, we examined the association between changes in animal and vegetable protein intake and unhealthy aging in older adults. Data came from 1951 individuals aged ≥60 years recruited in the Seniors-ENRICA coh...
Probiotics allow establishing and controlling the beneficial microflora and gradually reduce the pathogenic microflora. Tithonia diversifola (TD) is an alternative to replace protein from other more expensive sources in diets for poultry; therefore, the treatments used TD replacements with 0, 5, 10 y 15% with probiotics (WP) and without probiotics ...
peer reviewed / This study aims to elucidate the effect of male date palm flower (MDPF) incorporation in the dough properties and biscuit characteristics. Farinograph analysis demonstrated a progressive increase in water absorption (56.85%–61%) and dough stability (1.88–20.25 min) with increasing MDPF quantity due to its wealth in dietary fiber. Bi...

Diet composition has a marked impact on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Prospective studies show that dietary patterns with elevated amount of animal products and low quantity of vegetable food items raise the risk of these diseases. In healthy subjects, animal protein intake intensifies insulin resistance whereas...

Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder that involves glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids. Either insulin deficiency or insulin resistance may cause diabetes. Insulin deficiency causes type 1 diabetes and diabetes associated with total pancreatectomy. Glucagon produces insulin resistance. Glucagon-induced insulin resistance promotes type 2 diabet...

Insulin resistance is associated with subclinical vascular disease that is not justified by conventional cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking or hypercholesterolemia. Vascular injury associated to insulin resistance involves functional and structural damage to the arterial wall that includes impaired vasodilation in response to chemical med...

To examine the relationship between the intake of dietary vegetable protein and CVD mortality in a 15-year follow-up study of a representative sample of the Japanese population. A total of 7,744 participants aged 30 years or older (3,224 males and 4,520 females) who were free of CVD at baseline were included in this analysis. Vegetable protein inta...
[EN] The search for new sustainable aquafeeds for the species with greater economic importance, such as the gilthead sea bream in Europe, is one of the main challenges in the aquaculture sector. The present work tested fishmeal replacement by a mixture of plant meals at different levels, as well as the use of marine by-products with attractant prop...
De nombreux problèmes ont été identifiés lors des tentatives d’incorporation de protéines végétales dans nos aliments. En particulier, les faux goûts, le goût et la texture ont été mis en évidence comme de véritables obstacles à l’acceptabilité des produits végétaux par les consommateurs. Le consommateur lui-même est aussi un déterminant important ...
