PMID: J Diabetes Metab Disord. 2014 ;13(1):85. Epub 2014 Aug 13. PMID: 25152870 Abstract Title: Effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields on paraoxonase serum activity and lipid peroxidation metabolites in rat. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Atherogenic effects of ELF-MF exposure have not been studied well so far. Therefore we have hypothesized that ELF-MF exposure might have …

0.1 mT magnetic field increases free radical production by phorbol 12-myristate 13- acetate oxidative burst.
PMID: FEBS Lett. 1995 Dec 4 ;376(3):164-6. PMID: 7498533 Abstract Title: The phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced oxidative burst in rat peritoneal neutrophils is increased by a 0.1 mT (60 Hz) magnetic field. Abstract: Magnetic fields (MF) may affect biological systems by increasing free radical concentrations. To test this, we have investigated whether low frequency (60 …
This article proposes a hypothesis that mast cell activation by electromagnetic fields may underpin the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation.
PMID: Med Hypotheses. 2000 Apr ;54(4):663-71. PMID: 10859662 Abstract Title: A theoretical model based upon mast cells and histamine to explain the recently proclaimed sensitivity to electric and/or magnetic fields in humans. Abstract: The relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and human health is more and more in focus. This is mainly because of …
Probiotics may help to prevent food sensitization through the up-regulation of tight junction proteins.
PMID: Microorganisms. 2019 Oct 16 ;7(10). Epub 2019 Oct 16. PMID: 31623229 Abstract Title: Probiotics Prevents Sensitization to Oral Antigen and Subsequent Increases in Intestinal Tight Junction Permeability in Juvenile-Young Adult Rats. Abstract: Increased intestinal permeability is thought to underlie the pathogenesis of food allergy. We explore the mechanism responsible for changes in the morphology …
Prebiotics and probiotics as potential therapy for cognitive impairment.
PMID: Med Hypotheses. 2019 Sep 26 ;134:109410. Epub 2019 Sep 26. PMID: 31627123 Abstract Title: Prebiotics and probiotics as potential therapy for cognitive impairment. Abstract: Cognitive functions, such as learning and memory, may be impaired during aging. Age-related cognitive impairment is associated with selective neuronal loss, oxidative changes that lead to microglia activation and neuroinflammation. …

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: biopeptides are amino acid sequences with biological functions about metabolism and carbohydrates absorption.OBJECTIVE: the aim of this study was the evaluation of the …
This is the first report to demonstrate that chia peptides are able to inhibit cholesterol homeostasis.
PMID: Plant Foods Hum Nutr. 2018 Jun ;73(2):101-107. PMID: 29679358 Abstract Title: Peptides from Chia Present Antibacterial Activity and Inhibit Cholesterol Synthesis. Abstract: In previous studies, it has not been reported that protein isolated from chia interferes favorably with antibacterial activity, and reduces cholesterol synthesis. The objective of this study was to determine whether commonly …
Long-term dietary intake of chia seed is associated with increased bone mineral content and improved hepatic and intestinal morphology.
PMID: Nutrients. 2018 Jul 19 ;10(7). Epub 2018 Jul 19. PMID: 30029467 Abstract Title: Long-Term Dietary Intake of Chia Seed Is Associated with Increased Bone Mineral Content and Improved Hepatic and Intestinal Morphology in Sprague-Dawley Rats.
