Chapters discuss novel applications of B-complex vitamins, such as thiamin in patients with critical conditions, dietary supplements in the prevention of renal stones, and treatment of COVID-19. Throughout, the authors discuss the...

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is mainly present in fruits and vegetables. The consumption of such foods is important since the human body does not have the ability to produce this essential micronutrient. Because it is water soluble, it can also easily be lost in cooking and long-term storage. Even though the role of vitamin C has been known since the early 1930s, only recently have researchers been actively studying and demonstrating its role ...

These poems take readers into the world of Henry David Thoreau and his circle of acquaintances: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Louisa May Alcott. These poems also bring Thoreau into the present, imagining him as a living entity in our lives-and with him comes a renewed appreciation for the beauty of the world around us, a world in which astonishment animates every moment. To read these poems is to be "nose-deep in life, too busy for the...

El incremento del contenido de nutracéuticos (vitaminas, enzimas, péptidos, metabolitos, entre otros) para obtener alimentos funcionales usando bacterias lácticas (BL) se puede lograr mediante una adecuada selección de cepas de BL. Sin embargo, es difícil encontrar cepas que naturalmente produzcan nutraceúticos en concentraciones suficientes para obtener los beneficios deseados. La modificación genética (MG) en BL permite lograr una mayor efic...

Crohn's Disease (CD) is one of the most important chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that can affect the whole gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus and whose inflammation extends through all layers of the gut wall. Treatments normally consist of controlling the symptoms, maintaining remission, and preventing relapse. Despite many years of study, the exact aetiology and pathogenesis of this disorder still remains unclear, however, g...

Las Bacterias lácticas (BL) constituyen microorganismos muy importantes tecnológicamente ya que son muy usados en la producción de diferentes alimentos fermentados. Su importancia en la salud es cada vez mayor, dado que muchas cepas presentan características probióticas. En este trabajo se examinaron los efectos anti-inflamatorios de BL productoras de Cat y SOD usando un modelo de enfermedad de Crohn inducida por TNBS en ratón. Se evaluó el pe...
