Nutraceuticals and foods of interestAnalysis of the biological properties and underlying molecular mechanisms of nutraceuticals and functional foods in cellular models of atherosclerotic and inflammatory diseases. Nutrigenomic analysis of bioactive compounds of the Mediterranean diet in human vascular endothelial cells, enterocytes, adipocytes and immune cells. Phenolic compounds including phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein. Phenolic extracts from functional foods rich in polyphenols and related by-products (cereals, legumes, coffee, olive oil, red wine, red grape skin, grape pomace), as well as, from functional foods fortified with polyphenols (beverages, whole wheat biofortified bread). Metabolism of phenolic extracts by intestinal epithelial cells and polyphenol metabolites. Fields of application Human health, agro-food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries Facilities and equipments Cell culture facility and equipment (laminar flow hood, CO2 incubator and inverted phase contrast microscope with digital camera). Molecular biology and biochemistry facility and equipment (horizontal and vertical electrophoresis gel apparatus, power supplies, thermal cycler, ELISA reader, pH meter, refrigerated centrifuges, luminometer, etc). |
