This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Red Wine and Health written by Paul O'Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book revises the principal strategies for the characterisation of red wines based on compositional profiles of biogenic amines as a source of information. Special attention is paid to toxicological and organoleptic repercussions associated with the presence of these natural components of wines. This book also aims to characterise the red wine through dielectric parameters. An overview of the basics of the dielectric properties of materials, specifically in foods is also presented. Phenolic compounds in wines, especially in red wines, possess strong antioxidant activity in vitro. Phenolic compounds, obtained in red wine, are natural constituents of grapes and wines. They have the largest effect in decreasing atherosclerosis by both hypolipemic and antioxidant mechanisms. Thus, phenolics show a positive effect on human health and they may cause an increase of antioxidant activity of blood plasma. In this book, the effect of total phenolics [TP], total anthocyanins [TA] on the antioxidant activity [AA] is discussed. Furthermore, the applications of the different analytical methods that have been developed so far for the analysis of natural antioxidants in red wine are discussed, such as high-performance liquid chromotography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Also, the agents influencing the phenolic profiles of red wine are overviewed. Wine safety and healthiness depend on the interactions among various factors, several of which of microbial origin. This book explores scientific knowledge on the microbial role in the healthiness and safety enhancement of red wines, by proposing a specific selection of microbial starters. Furthermore, the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are essential in the quality of many fermented beverages like cider and wine, are discussed. In addition to malic acid, some other organic acids, sugars and carbon sources may be utilised by LAB modifying the sensory quality of these products. In fruit juice and related product, for example, they are considered spoilage microorganisms. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is one of the most debated chemical components used in enology. Its important antioxidant, preservative and antiseptic properties are indispensable for the health, stability and quality of wine. Flow injection analysis offers great potentials on the field of automation in terms of high sampling rate, precision, accuracy and cost effectiveness. This book reviews automated flow injection methods for the determination of sulphur dioxide in wines. Moderate wine intake could play a protective role in several systems, including cardiovascular, digestive and neuroendocrine ones. Since the description of the French paradox, many beneficial effects of red wine have been described, namely those linked to cardiovascular disease protection. The most recent findings regarding the effects of red wine or its components on the adipose tissue are reviewed. In addition, it has been shown that red wine polyphenolics causes substantial falls in blood pressure, thus improving endothelial function and decreasing oxidative stress. These studies on vascular endothelium are also looked at. The main component considered responsible for the reduced risk of death in alcoholic beverages is ethanol. This book reviews the data generated to date on the amount of phenolic compounds necessary to elicit certain cardioprotective effects. This data may have implications for national alcohol and dietary guidelines, for medical practitioners who 'prescribe' daily moderate wine consumption, as well as for the wine industry per se redeveloping healthier wine styles and types.

This book was released on 1999-09-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a commonly held belief that athletes, particularly body builders, have greater requirements for dietary protein than sedentary individuals. However, the evidence in support of this contention is controversial. This book is the latest in a series of publications designed to inform both civilian and military scientists and personnel about issues related to nutrition and military service. Among the many other stressors they experience, soldiers face unique nutritional demands during combat. Of particular concern is the role that dietary protein might play in controlling muscle mass and strength, response to injury and infection, and cognitive performance. The first part of the book contains the committee's summary of the workshop, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The remainder of the book contains papers contributed by speakers at the workshop on such topics as, the effects of aging and hormones on regulation of muscle mass and function, alterations in protein metabolism due to the stress of injury or infection, the role of individual amino acids, the components of proteins, as neurotransmitters, hormones, and modulators of various physiological processes, and the efficacy and safety considerations associated with dietary supplements aimed at enhancing performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food safety and quality represent a major concern worldwide, not only for the potential risk to consumers’ health but also for the economic losses occurring in food industries. A complete quality system involves raw matter, environmental conditions, production processes, storage and distribution, taking into account the purpose for which the end product is intended. Appropriate analytical methods combined with good hygiene practices are essential to ensure a safe food supply and/or to minimize the occurrence of foodborne outbreaks due to the consumption of food contaminated with pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and parasites. On the other hand, the lack of measures able to detect quality deterioration, spoilage, authenticity and adulteration, as well as texture, rheology and sensory properties of food can affect the food industry economy and reduce consumer confidence. The use of rapid analytical methods can benefit food companies in saving time and cost, indicating the importance of developing new reliable assays for good and fast control of products throughout the whole food chain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many thousands of years ago, humans were introduced to the toxicants of minerals and plants of microbial origin, and since that time, natural bioactive compounds have been used in traditional medicine for treating different health conditions, but also as aphrodisiacs and as a means of suicide or murder. Modern medicine acknowledges natural bioactive compounds as valuable medicinal sources for both diagnostic and curative purposes. Natural compounds serve as templates for the production of new drugs with improved pharmacological properties. This book explains the term bioactivity and deals with the bioactive compounds of plants, animals, microbial and marine origin. Their use by traditional medicinal approach, as well as by modern medicine is further elaborated. Both beneficial and toxic properties of different chemical classes, including alkaloids, peptides, terpenoids, bioactive amines etc., are described. Their isolation at the industrial scale is presented through several technological processes which are explained in detail for several compound classes. The research explains how natural sources can be exploited my modern and traditional medicine, and presents the risks and benefits associated with their use. In addition, a new approach to studying bioactivity, that includes computational modelling and softwares for in silico description and prediction, is explained. A chemometric approach to studying bioactivity is demonstrated through several models given for some natural bioactive compounds and their derivatives.
