Fat saturation has no effect on glycaemic or satiety response to a high GI carbohydrate meal in healthy women
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)
Elevated dietary intake of processed, high glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrates is associated with an increased risk of developingchronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and cancer(1,2). The ...
Do marine algal polyphenols have antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic or anti-inflammatory effects in humans? A systematic review.
(Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2017-04)
Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Marine
algal polyphenols have potential to reduce the risk of these conditions, however, little is known about
their ...
Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials
(Nutrients, 2016-03)
Dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form during heating and processing
of food products and are widely prevalent in the modern Western diet. Recent systematic reviews
indicate that consumption of dietary AGEs ...
Microplastics in the marine environment: Sources, Impacts & Recommendations
(Resear@THEA GMIT, 2021-05-27)
Plastic pollution in the marine environment has been consistently reported since the late 1960s, however, recent evidence of global widespread microplastic pollution has led to an exponential increase in both research and ...
Green tides select for fast expanding Ulva strains
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-09-06)
Green tides, the phenomenon whereby large volume of marine environment is taken over by the sea lettuce Ulva spp, are a seasonal occurrence thought to be caused mainly by anthropogenic eutrophication. The aggravation of ...
Floating microplastics in a coastal embayment: a multifaceted issue
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)
Floating microplastic debris at the ocean's surface represents about 1% of all plastics found in the environment, with the remainder thought to be either deposited along the coast or sinks to the bottom of the ocean. This ...

(BMJ Open, 2018-12)
Introduction Hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycaemia and
chronic inflammation are risk factors for chronic diseases
cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Polyphenols
are bioactive compounds found in marine algae with
potential ...
Oxidative stress and inflammation interactions in human obesity
(Journal of physiology and biochemistry, 2012-02)
Obesity is often characterized by increased
