Do marine algal polyphenols have antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic or anti-inflammatory effects in humans? A systematic review.
(Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2017-04)Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Marine algal polyphenols have potential to reduce the risk of these conditions, however, little is known about their ... -
An emerging trend in functional foods for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes: Marine algal polyphenols
(Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2016-11)Marine macroalgae are gaining recognition among the scientific community as a significant source of functional food ingredients. Due to the harsh environments in which macroalgae survive, they produce unique bioactive ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammation interactions in human obesity
(Journal of physiology and biochemistry, 2012-02)Obesity is often characterized by increased oxidative stress and exacerbated inflammatory outcomes accompanying infiltration of immune cells in adipocytes. The oxidative stress machinery and inflammatory signaling are ... -
Diet and the risk of unipolar depression in adults: systematic review of cohort studies.
(Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2012-10)Background: Nutrition may be a risk factor for unipolar depression. We aimed to review the association between dietary variables and the risk of depression. Methods: Fifteen databases were searched up to May 2010. Only ... -
The effect of dietary interventions and nutritional supplementation on bone mineral density in otherwise healthy adults with osteopenia: A systematic review
(Nutrition Bulletin, 2016-06)There are many health and economic consequences for patients with osteopenia, the precursor to osteoporosis. A range of treatments may provide positive outcomes for otherwise healthy adults, including dietary and exercise ... -
Fat saturation has no effect on glycaemic or satiety response to a high GI carbohydrate meal in healthy women
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)Elevated dietary intake of processed, high glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrates is associated with an increased risk of developingchronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and cancer(1,2). The ... -
Development of culturally appropriate low GI breakfast meals for Asian populations
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)Asian populations are known to be at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and are therefore recommended to choose low glycaemic index (GI) foods(1). Current dietetic practice in Australia provides dietary ... -
Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials
(Nutrients, 2016-03)Dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form during heating and processing of food products and are widely prevalent in the modern Western diet. Recent systematic reviews indicate that consumption of dietary AGEs ... -
The Impact of a Single Dose of a Polyphenol-Rich Seaweed Extract on Postprandial Glycaemic Control in Healthy Adults: A Randomised Cross-Over Trial
(Nutrients, 2018-02)This study investigated the impact of a polyphenol-rich seaweed extract on postprandial glycaemia in healthy adults, and, as a secondary outcome, the influence of ethnicity on these outcomes. Thirty-eight volunteers (26 ... -
Study protocol for a double-blind randomised controlled trial investigating the impact of 12 weeks supplementation with a Fucus vesiculosus extract on cholesterol levels in adults with elevated fasting LDL cholesterol who are overweight or have obesity
(BMJ Open, 2018-12)Introduction Hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycaemia and chronic inflammation are risk factors for chronic diseases cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Polyphenols are bioactive compounds found in marine algae with potential ... -
A Single-Dose of a Polyphenol-Rich Fucus Vesiculosus Extract is In sufficient to Blunt the Elevated Postprandial Blood Glucose Responses Exhibited by Healthy Adults in the Evening: A Randomised Crossover Trial
(Antioxidants, 2019-02-24)When healthy adults consume carbohydrates at night, postprandial blood glucose responses are elevated and prolonged compared to daytime.Extended postprandial hyperglycaemia is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Polyphenols ... -
Equilibria in Multi-Objective Games: a Utility-Based Perspective
(Adaptive and Learning Agents Workshop, 2019)In multi-objective multi-agent systems (MOMAS), agents explicitly consider the possible tradeoffs between conflicting objective functions. We argue that compromises between competing objectives in MOMAS should be analysed ...
