Abstract:
This thesis aims to integrate functional and nutrigenomics analyses to examine how dietary polyphenols affect human platelet function and thus may contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Initially, 26 low molecular weight phenolic compounds were screened for their effects on platelet aggregation and P-selectin expression in vitro. Only high, non-physiological concentrations of some phenolics showed anti-platelet effects. In parallel we conducted a systematic review of the literature to assess how polyphenol-rich foodstuffs, beverages, or extracts affect platelet function in hu

Epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have demonstrated consistent benefits of walnut (Juglans regia L.) consumption.

Introduction: The fatty acid (FA) composition of the diet can have both a positive and negative impact on the health and wellbeing of an individual. Diets rich in saturated FAs and cholesterol promote cardiovascular disease, while diets rich in omega 3 FA protect against cardiovascular disease. Diets rich in omega 6 FAs are thought to have pro-inflammatory and promoting properties, while diets rich in omega 3 FAs have anti-inflammatory and chemo preventative qualities. The increase of the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 FAs is an important factor in the increased incidence of inflammatory diseases

Design/Method/Approach - Registered Dietitians (RD´s) (N=14) were recruited from the UK, Canada, South-Africa, Australia, Mexico and Israel. Six qualitative interviews and two focus groups were conducted online using a conference calling platform. Data were recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed. Findings - Early adopters of Nutrigenomics (NGx) were experienced, self-efficacious RD’s who actively sought knowledge of NGx through communication with one another and the bro

Despite general agreement on the value of nutrigenomics as a powerful approach to unravel the complex diet-health relationships, challenges in applications at the scientific, regulative, and ethical levels have also been widely discussed. However, research into the consumer acceptance and potential service models of such application is relatively scarce. As the awareness and demand for preventive medicine conti

Abstract:
Background: There are a number of biological pathways that affect our ingestive behaviours, including energy homeostasis, food reward, and taste. Given that carbohydrates such as sugars, provide energy and a sweet taste, examining candidate genes in each pathway may help explain differences in carbohydrate consumption behaviours. Objective: To determine whether variations in genes encoding a glucose transporter (GLUT2), a dopamine receptor (DRD2), and sweet taste receptor (TAS1R2) are associated with differences in sugar consumption in two distinct populations. Methods: Population 1 includ

Abstract:
The role of variation in the TAS2R50 bitter taste receptor gene is unknown, but may influence taste perception and dietary habits. Individuals (n=1171) aged 20 to 29, from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health Study, completed a food preference checklist and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire to assess their preference and intake of potentially bitter foods and beverages. DNA was isolated from blood and genotyped for 3 polymorphisms in the TAS2R50 gene (rs2900554 A>C; rs10772397 A>G; rs1376251 A>G). Taste intensity was examined using taste strips infused with 3µg of naringin. The

A questionnaire developed from previous qualitative research was used to survey nationally representative samples from 9 EU countries (N = 9381). P

16 Abstract The rising prevalence in noncommunicable diseases worldwide calls for the effort to determine their underlying causes. Common metabolic disorders in particular overwhelm the healthcare systems and are a one of the leading causes of poor quality of life of patients. Metabolic syndrome is represented by concurrence of several conditions - dyslipidaemia, obesity, hypertension or impaired glucose tolerance - altered metabolic phenotypes related to genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that early-life exposure to certain environmental stimuli is particularly capable

Abstract:
The mechanisms underlying caffeine’s acute effects and withdrawal symptoms are not entirely understood. The purpose was to determine whether the clusters of acute effects or withdrawal symptoms are associated with genetic polymorphisms in DARPP-32 and COMT, which mediate some of caffeine’s physiological effects. Subjects (n=1135) were from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Healthy Study. Fourteen well-described acute effects of caffeine co-exist in six groups, while fourteen well-characterized withdrawal symptoms co-exist in three groups.

No<br>Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in sunlight has deleterious effects on skin, while behavioural changes have resulted in people gaining more sun exposure. The clinical impact includes a year-on-year increase in skin cancer incidence, and topical sunscreens alone provide an inadequate measure to combat overexposure to UVR. Novel methods of photoprotection are being targeted as additional measures, with growing interest in the potential for systemic photoprotection through naturally sourced nutrients.

Yes<br>Personalised nutrition (PN) has the potential to reduce disease risk and optimise health and performance. Although previous research has shown good acceptance of the concept of PN in the UK, preferences regarding the delivery of a PN service (e.g. online v. face-to-face) are not fully understood. It is anticipated that the presence of a free at point of delivery healthcare system, the National Health Service (NHS), in the UK may have an impact on end-user preferences for deliverances.
