The metabolic and physiologic responses to healthy dietary habits and physical exercise have become an increasingly interesting research area, since equilibrated diet and regular physical activity are commonly recommended for their antioxidant capacity and for the prevention and treatment of several disorders as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, ob...
In recent years, sphingolipidomics has emerged as an interesting omic science that encompasses the study of the full sphingolipidome characterization, content, structure and activity in cells, tissues or organisms. Like other omics, it has the potential to impact biomarker discovery, drug development and systems biology knowledge. Concretely, dieta...
ScopePolyphenols have been demonstrated to provide health benefits affecting cellular and physiological processes. This study aims to evaluate the bioavailability and distribution of grape seed flavanol compounds during pregnancy and whether fetuses could be exposed to these compounds. Methods and resultsThe distribution of flavanols and their meta...
The atmospheric levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric samples taken at two urban sites and two sites near industrial areas of the Tarragona region (Catalonia, Spain), where one of the most important petrochemical complexes in the south of Europe is located, were determined. Gas and particulate phase of air were separately...
This paper reports the results of an assessment of volatile organic compound (VOCs) levels in ambient air in samples collected at urban and industrial sites in southern Catalonia, which is home to one of the most important petrochemical complexes in southern Europe. This study contains data from a total of 192 samples collected in 2007, from May to...
Pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) was applied to determine the atmospheric levels of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gas and particulate phases. The method involved high-volume air sampling with quartz fibre filters (QFFs) and polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and analytes were subsequently extracted from the samples by PLE, and det...
Because air is complex and heterogeneous, continuously evolving in time and space and being influenced by atmospheric and geographical conditions, sampling is crucial in air analysis. Moreover, due to the low levels of pollutants present in the atmosphere, enrichment is often required.This review deals with the most common techniques for sampling a...
Annual trends of a group of 66 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), containing 20 ozone precursors, were the aim of a sampling campaign carried out for a year in air at urban and industrial areas from Tarragona region. VOCs were determined by active collection on multisorbent tubes, followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrome...
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was applied to the determination of 7 volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs), which were analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The compounds studied were ethyl mercaptan (CH3CH2SH), dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S), carbon disulfide (CS2), propyl mercaptan (C3H8S), butyl mercaptan (C4H10S), dimethyl disul...
The concentrations of seven volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) in air samples were determined by active collection on multisorbent tubes followed by two-stage thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The compounds studied were ethyl mercaptan (CH(3)CH(2)SH), dimethyl sulfide ((CH(3))(2)S), carbon disulfide (CS(2)), propyl...
