Intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in middle-aged adults
The intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability is related to cardiometabolic health, as suggested by previous literature. We studied whether that variability (expressed as coefficient of variation [CV; %]) for ... -
Elderberry lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactive compounds: characterization and extract encapsulation
There are few studies on the use of elderberry in the food industry, and its form of application differs between the different studies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to describe a procedure for obtaining a ... -
Sex-specific dose-response effects of a 24-week supervised concurrent exercise intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength in young adults: The ACTIBATE randomized controlled trial
Concurrent training has been postulated as an appropriate time-efficient strategy to improve physical fitness, yet whether the exercise-induced adaptations are similar in men and women is unknown. An unblinded randomized ... -
Mild high hydrostatic pressure processing: effects on techno-functional properties and allergenicity of ovalbumin
The effects of mild (250–350 MPa) high hydrostatic pressures (HHP) on the technological properties of ovalbumin were studied. Thermal gels were prepared using HHP-treated ovalbumin. Their characteristics and the efficacy ... -
Hydrological records can be used to reconstruct the resilience of watersheds to climatic extremes
Hydrologic resilience modeling is used in public watershed management to assess watershed ability to supply life-supporting ecoservices under extreme climatic and environmental conditions. Literature surveys criticize ... -
