Journal ArticleDOI
Definition of the Mediterranean Diet; a Literature Review.
TL;DR: The results provide a defined nutrient content and range of servings for the MedDiet based on past and current literature and could refine the definition further.
Journal ArticleDOI

Karen J. Murphy,Andriana K Chronopoulos,Indu Singh,Maureen A Francis,Helen Moriarty,Marilyn J Pike,A. H. Turner,Neil Mann,Andrew J. Sinclair +8 more
TL;DR: Cocoa flavanol and procyanidin supplementation for 28 d significantly increased plasma epicatechin and catechin concentrations and significantly decreased platelet function, which support the results of acute studies that used higher doses of cocoa flavanols and proCyanidins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining fish-oil supplements with regular aerobic exercise improves body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors
TL;DR: Increasing intake of n-3 FAs could be a useful adjunct to exercise programs aimed at improving body composition and decreasing cardiovascular disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid, FA, and sterol composition of New Zealand green lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) and Tasmanian blue mussel (Mytilus edulis).
TL;DR: The lipid, FA, and sterol composition of the New Zealand green lipped mussel and the Tasmanian blue mussel were compared using TLC-FID and GC-MS to identify differences in the diet of the NZGLM being more diatom-derived and the diets of the TBM having a greater dinoflagellate component.
Journal ArticleDOI
