THERAPEUTIC AND PREVENTIVE IMPACT OF NUTRITIONAL LIPIDS ON NEURONAL AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE IN AGING, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND VASCULAR DEMENTIA (LIPIDIDIET)

Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,

Major objective: It is our aim to develop a lipid based diet that is able to delay or prevent onset of Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases and has a stabilizing effect on cognitive performance in aging. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that there is a large overlap between risk factor of these three diseases. Importantly, there is equally strong evidence that prevention and treatment of the ...

Characterization and modelling of dietary effects mediated by gut microbiota on lipid metabolism (ETHERPATHS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

"Dysregulation of lipid homeostasis is related to multiple major global healthcare problems today, including aging, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It has already been shown that nutritional modulation of lipid homeostasis via direct supplementation, e.g., n-3 fatty acids, or via indirect mechanisms, e.g., dietary polyphenols, has beneficial effects on human health. There is growing evidence ...

Multi-layer network modules to identify markers for personalized medication in complex diseases (MultiMod)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,

The symptoms of complex disease like allergy, obesity and cancer depend on the products of multiple interacting genes. High-throughput techniques have implicated hundreds of genes. There are also considerable individual variations. A clinical implication of this may be inadequate treatment response, which is increasingly recognized as a cause of increased suffering and costs. Ideally, physicians s ...
