Premature infants are exposed to increased generation of reactive oxygen species, and on
the other hand, they have a deficient antioxidant defense system. Oxidative insult is a salient …

Oxygen therapy is common during the neonatal period to improve survival, but it can
increase the risk of oxygen toxicity. Hyperoxia can damage multiple organs and systems in …

Diets rich in animal source foods vs plant-based diets have different macronutrient
composition, and they have been shown to have differential effects on the gut microbiome. In …

As a crucial part of the symbiotic system, the gut microbiome is metabolically connected to
many diseases and conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Trimethylamine …

Background Postnatal growth restriction (PNGR) in premature infants increases risk of
pulmonary hypertension (PH). In a rodent model, PNGR causes PH, while combining PNGR …

The phenolic profiles of extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) may influence their cardiovascular
benefits. In a randomized crossover of acute EVOO intake on platelet function, participants …

Recent work suggests that diet affects brain metabolism thereby impacting cognitive

Background In extremely premature infants, postnatal growth restriction (PNGR) is common
and increases the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary …

Effective ventilation of the lungs is essential in mediating pulmonary vasodilation at birth to
allow effective gas exchange and an increase in systemic oxygenation. Unsuccessful …
