Adriano Mollica,Gokhan Zengin,Marcello Locatelli,Azzurra Stefanucci,Andrei Mocan,Andrei Mocan,Giorgia Macedonio,Simone Carradori,Olakunle J. Onaolapo,Adejoke Y. Onaolapo,Juliet Adegoke,Marufat Olaniyan,Abdurrahman Aktumsek,Ettore Novellino +13 more
TL;DR: Results showed that the regular administration of C. spinosa leaf or buds normalized all the biochemical parameters and reversed the liver/kidney injury with variable degrees of organ protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of the nutraceutical potential of Juglans regia L. leaf powder in diabetic rats.
Adriano Mollica,Gokhan Zengin,Marcello Locatelli,Azzurra Stefanucci,Giorgia Macedonio,Giuseppe Bellagamba,Olakunle J. Onaolapo,Adejoke Y. Onaolapo,Falilat Azeez,Adeola Ayileka,Ettore Novellino +10 more
TL;DR: In-vivo assays showed that twice-daily administration of J. regia L. leaf resulted in weight gain, glycaemic control, reversal of dyslipidaemia and biochemical evidences of liver/kidney injury, and protection against pancreas, liver and kidney tissue injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of alterations in brain structure and antioxidant status following 'low-dose' monosodium glutamate ingestion.
Olakunle J. Onaolapo,Olakunle J. Onaolapo,Adejoke Y. Onaolapo,Moses A. Akanmu,Olayiwola Gbola +4 more
TL;DR: The study showed morphological alterations consistent with neuronal injury, biochemical changes of oxidative stress and a rise in plasma glutamate and glutamine that support the need for cautious consideration in the indiscriminate use of MSG as a dietary flavor enhancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutraceutical potential of Corylus avellana daily supplements for obesity and related dysmetabolism
Adriano Mollica,Gokhan Zengin,Azzurra Stefanucci,Claudio Ferrante,Luigi Menghini,Giustino Orlando,Luigi Brunetti,Marcello Locatelli,Marilisa Pia Dimmito,Ettore Novellino,Olayemi Kamoru Wakeel,Mustapha O. Ogundeji,Adejoke Y. Onaolapo,Olakunle J. Onaolapo +13 more
TL;DR: The two hazelnut varieties were protective against β-amyloid-induced neurochemical changes and high-fat diet induced alteration of metabolic indices, and the addition of Turkish hazelnuts to high fat diet was associated with more significant decrease in body weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food additives, food and the concept of ‘food addiction’: Is stimulation of the brain reward circuit by food sufficient to trigger addiction?
TL;DR: There isn't sufficient scientific evidence to consider any food ingredient, micronutrient or standard food-additive as addictive, so the factors which may predispose to food addiction are discussed.
