[PROJECT] PREVENTCD - Influence of the dietary history in the prevention of coeliac disease: possibilities of induction of tolerance for gluten in genetic predisposed children
ID: 036383
Start date: 2007-01-01, End date: 2010-12-31
Coeliac disease (CD) is a chronic disorder caused by hypersensitivity to some of the most common proteins (gluten) in the diet of the European population. CD affects as much as 1% of the Europeans (2.5 million people) and is the most common food intolerance in Europe. If recog...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Novel methodologies for assessing pools of labile (toxic) iron in biological fluids: Biological and clinical (diagnostic and therapeutic) implications
Non-transferin-bound iron (NTBI) represents forms of loosely bound iron that appear in the plasma of iron overloaded patients. A major component of NTBI, LPI (labile plasma iron), is chelatable and redox active, namely potentially toxic as it can engage in the formation of oxi...

The goals of this project were to evaluate the health status of inoculated tomato after harvest by several gases emissions in order to identify early infection before disease became evident. Another goal was to evaluate natural biocides, such as acetaldehyde, by anoxia treatme...

[REPORT SUMMARY] In vivo evaluation of natural pesticides by anoxia; Endogenous concentration of acetaldehyde
We have found that anoxia suppressed Botrytis growth in vitro, but upon transfer to normal atmosphere, the fungus grew almost normally. A significant inhibition in decay development and delay in rot appearance was observed only when anoxia was applied 24 hours after inoculatio...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development of semi-commercial method to improve tomato quality
The effectiveness of a short pre-storage hot water rinsing and brushing was tested on decay incidence, quality parameters respiration rate and ethylene evolution of pink tomato fruits that were kept for 14 days at 12°C plus 3 days at 20°C (storage and marketing simulation).

[REPORT SUMMARY] Novel methodologies for assessing pools of labile (toxic) iron in cells and tissues: Biological and clinical (diagnostic and therapeutic) implications
Cellular labile iron pools (LIPs) represent important physiological and pathophysiological parameters whole levels are indicative of cell iron status in health and disease. In iron overload conditions (thalassemia and hemochromatosis), elevated LIPs can compromise organ functi...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Effect of post-harvest treatments on OTA content in table grapes
The number and type of isolates and their ability to produce OTA was determined at harvest, after 7 days at 20ºC and after 30 d at 0ºC in the presence of SO2 generator pads and 2 days at 20ºC, with and without ethanol dips. The results show that ethanol dips did not reduce the...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - F AND F (Food and fecundity: pharmaceutical products as high risk effectors)
The F AND F project sought to address the effects of pharmaceutical products (PPs) on human fecundity. For this purpose it set the following objectives:
- identify PPs which might affect human fecundity;
- identify the mechanisms involved in their fecundity disrupting acti...
