A new book on how food polar lipids lower the cardiovascular risk, the role of statins and the value of personalised diet and exercise. A new holistic approach is proposed.
This review discusses the effect of low-to-moderate drinking on cardiovascular health and the biological mechanisms behind the observed bioactivity of certain alcoholic beverages. The health significance of dealcoholized alcoholic beverages is also discussed concerning evidence from ex vivo and in vitro investigations. We also review innovations in the harvesting of bioactive components produced in the brewing process to develop novel cardioprotective products.
The global rankings are based on some data but behind the numbers, we have people: excellent scientists and amazing technical officers!
Our latest publication on how polar lipids affect the pathology of Alzeimer’s disease: Polar lipids modify Alzheimer’s Disease pathology by reducing astrocyte pro-inflammatory signaling through platelet-activating factor receptor (PTAFR) modulation Figure 1 : A DI TNC1 cells were treated with 1 µM Aβ peptide or 1 µg/µl LPS for 24 h and compared to … Continued
Lipids in wine and beer Our group has been studying the bioactivities of lipids present in beer and wine against platelet aggregation for more than 20 years. This stream of research was spearheaded by Emeritus Professor Constantinos A Demopoulos. Under his inspirational mentoring, our group grew over the years and now we are Academics in … Continued
