Accumulating evidence has suggested a role for p53 activation in various age-associated conditions. Here, we identified a crucial role of endothelial p53 activation in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Endothelial expression of p53 was markedly upregulated when mice were fed a high-calorie diet. Disruption of endothelial p53 activation improved dietary inactivation of endothelial nitric ox...

background & objectives: good fasting practice is not only refraining from foods and drinks in a period of time, but should encompass several important factors including unexcessive eating habit during ifthor. understanding the effect of fasting accompanied by calorie restriction (cr) in oxidative stress indicators, malondialdehyde (mda) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'deoxyguanosine (8-oxodg), th...

The calculation of calorie consumption is paramount importance for the human diet and health management. Most existing solutions use image-processing techniques to identify food type refer nutrition table compute total calorie, which quite challenging differentiate foods that look same but contain vastly different quantities calories. To address this issue, we propose leverage near-infrared spe...

Diet carbonated soft drinks were introduced to help consumers lower caloric intake. However, critics suggest that these can provide an excuse consume more calories, a so-called “Big Mac and Coke” mentality is consistent with behavioral theories such as moral licensing (e.g., combining healthy eating choice indulgent, less one). Using individual-level food drink consumer panel data from major fa...
