Severe COVID-19 correlates with lower mitochondrial cristae density in PBMCs and greater sitting time in humans
(2022-05-27)An interaction between mitochondrial dynamics, physical activity levels, andCOVID-19 severity has been previously hypothesized. However, this has notbeen tested. We aimed to compare mitochondrial morphology and cristae ... -
Predictive equations for energy expenditure in adult humans: From resting to free-living conditions
(Wiley, 2022)Humans acquire energy from the environment for survival. A central question for nutritional sciences is how much energy is required to sustain cellular work while maintaining an adequate body mass. Because human energy ... -
Breastfeeding, complementary feeding, physical activity, screen use, and hours of sleep in children under 2 years during lockdown by the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile
(MDPI, 2022): Infants and children are a risk group in terms of developing healthy habits, an important aspect if we consider that many of them were born during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our objective was to evaluate compliance with ... -

Efecto del consumo de curcumina sobre la inflamación y estrés oxidativo en pacientes con hemodiálisis
(Universidad Finis Terrae (Chile) Facultad de Medicina, 2022)La Enfermedad Renal Crónica (ERC) conlleva a un estatus de microinflamación basal y oxidación que se exacerba en estadios avanzados de la enfermedad. Esto está originado principalmente por la acumulación de desechos ... -
A mutation in desmin makes skeletal muscle less vulnerable to acute muscle damage after eccentric loading in rats
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-09-01)Desminopathy is the most common intermediate filament disease in humans. The most frequent mutation causing desminopathy in patients is a R350P DES missense mutation. We have developed a rat model with an analogous mutation ... -
Microencapsulated pomegranate peel extract induces mitochondrial complex IV activity and prevents mitochondrial cristae alteration in brown adipose tissue in mice fed on a high-fat diet
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-09-28)Pomegranate peel is an agro-industrial residue obtained after fruit processing with high total polyphenol (TP) content, making it an attractive by-product for its reuse. Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and its bioactive ... -
The fasting-feeding metabolic transition regulates mitochondrial dynamics
(Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2021-10-10)In humans, insulin resistance has been linked to an impaired metabolic transition from fasting to feeding (metabolic flexibility; MetFlex). Previous studies suggest that mitochondrial dynamics response is a putative ... -
