Main lines of research
The Mediterranean diet, its foods and the interaction of nutrients, has healthy effects on morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular diseases that have been widely described and scientifically proven . In this context, the main objective of our research is to determine the effect of diet on cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular diseases, as well as to establish the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to these beneficial effects . To achieve these goals, we are working at present in the following research lines:
• Nutrition Studies and Cardiovascular Risk • Molecular and cellular mechanisms related with risk and protective factors for cardiovascular disease
- Role of high density lipoproteins (HDLs) - Nutrigenomics - Interaction between diet and intestinal flora - Emergent and cardiovascular risk factors
• Nutritional Epidemiology and Childhood Obesity • Nutrition and Neurocognition • Obesity and diabetes epidemiology and management
