Dietary Restriction and Immune Function

Recent Advances in Nutritional Sciences Dietary Restriction and Immune Function

Dietary restriction is beneficial in preventing a multitude of diseases, many of which may involve the immune system in their etiology. Recent reports examining dietary restriction focused on T lymphocytes and macrophages. Dietary restriction delays the onset of T-lymphocyte–dependent autoimmune disease; this may be attributed to improved antioxidant defense mechanisms, blunting shifts in T-lym...

Calorie Restriction, Longevity and Cognitive Function

Effect of Dietary Fat Restriction on Vascular Function Inaugural-Dissertation

Overweight and obesity are chronic diseases, which are increasingly affecting children and adolescents, and if not treated immediately then fat children from today will become patients from tomorrow. The objective of this study was to investigate whether dietary fat restriction normalizes body weight, impaired glucose tolerance and endothelium-dependent contractions induced by high dietary fat ...

Postnatal nutritional restriction affects growth and immune function of piglets with intra-uterine growth restriction.

Postnatal rapid growth by excess intake of nutrients has been associated with an increased susceptibility to diseases in neonates with intra-uterine growth restricted (IUGR). The aim of the present study was to determine whether postnatal nutritional restriction could improve intestinal development and immune function of neonates with IUGR using piglets as model. A total of twelve pairs of norm...
