Bioaccessibility of anthocyanins and bioactive compounds from Brazilian berries and their food matrix interaction: an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion study coupled to UHPLC-ESI-TQD-MS/MS analysis. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Several commercial berries have been examined for anthocyanin composition, bioaccessibility, and bioactive effects, while Brazilian berries remain underexplored. This study aimed to access the effect of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on anthocyanin bioaccessibility, stability, and antioxidant potential in black pitanga (Eugenia

The Content of Dietary Melatonin in 119 Food Items and Its Relationship With Chronic Diseases: Results of the CUME+ Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Dietary melatonin, naturally occurring in plant‐ and animal‐based foods, has been linked to beneficial effects on sleep, mood and metabolic health. Although evidence suggests that food‐derived melatonin may elevate circulating levels, few studies have assessed its intake through habitual diets or explored associations with chronic ...

Hand Grip Strength Cut-Off Points as a Discriminator of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity: Results from the ELSA-Brasil Cohort. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Hand grip strength (HGS) may represent an epidemiologically relevant alternative as an initial screening tool for sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. However, no study evaluated the performance capacity of HGS compared to other biomarkers in discriminating these conditions in adults.
