New paper published in the British Journal of Nutrition
Our work entitled "A cafeteria diet triggers intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress in obese rats" authored by Gil-Cardoso K, Ginés I, Pinent M, Ardévol A, Terra X, Blay M has just been published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
In this study we describe the impact of an obesogenic diet on the gut health status of DIO rats in comparison with the Zucker (fa/fa) rat leptin receptor-deficient model of genetic obesity over time. Our results indicated that both the nutritional model and the genetic obesity model showed increased body weight and metabolic alterations at the final time point. An increase in intestinal ROS production and MPO activity was observed in the gastrointestinal tracts of rats fed a CAF diet but not in the genetic obesity model. TNF-α was overexpressed in the ileum of both CAF diet and fa/fa groups, and ileal inflammation was associated with the degree of obesity and metabolic alterations. We concluded that, in the hyperlipidic refined sugar diet model of obesity, the responses to chronic energy overload led to time-dependent increases in gut inflammation and oxidative stress.

MoBioFood attended to the 1st International Conference on Food Bioactives and Health. 13-15 Sept. Norwich, UK
The aim of the Conference was to provide an open forum that brings together researchers from various scientific communities to present the latest research and discuss common themes and challenges to understanding the impacts of food bioactives on health.
MoBioFood presented a poster entitled "A rat model of moderate intestinal inflammation to study molecular bioactivity of food".

Unexpected visit to MoBioFood!
When Gemma finished her PhD at Universitat Rovira i Virgili with us, she continued her career as a researcher in Scotland. At the moment Gemma is working as a researcher in Brunel University London.
Many thanks for your visit Gemma!!
