BACKGROUND Although general parenting styles and restrictive parental feeding practices have been associated with children's weight status, few studies have examined the association between feeding styles and proximal outcomes such as children's food intake, especially in multi-ethnic families with limited incomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of parental feeding st...

Sweet and sour cherries contain several polyphenols that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the maturity stage on phenol content and biological properties of extract of a local Morello-type of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), “visciola”. The study of total phenol content and total antioxidant potential was associated with the...

Oral allergy syndrome/pollen-food syndrome (OAS/ PFS) affects up to 70% of patients with birch-pollen allergy. Prevalence is likely to continue to increase as the prevalence of inhalant allergies rises. Homologous proteins in fruits, vegetables, and pollens of grasses, trees and weeds are responsible for PFS. Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) with recombinant allergens may assist with the diag...

allergy to wheat is a common food allergy. in spite of this fact, there is not enough literature regarding the features and outgrowing of this allergy. the objective of this study was to evaluate the manifestations of this allergy and to follow the patients to evaluate whether outgrowing allergy happens again and when it occurs. eight wheat allergic patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2001 were...

PURPOSE There is limited epidemiological evidence of food hypersensitivity (FH) in the adult population. We aimed to determine the prevalence of FH in Mexican adults, their clinical features and to establish common food involved in its appearance. METHODS We designed a cross-sectional study using a fixed quota sampling; 1,126 subjects answered a structured survey to gather information related...

INTRODUCTION Lipid transfer proteins (LTP), profilin and PR-10 are the most important panallergens in central and southern Italy. Lipid transfer proteins are stable molecules, predominantly present in the fruit peel, which can induce systemic symptoms after ingestion of vegetables. Profilin and PR-10 are randomly distributed in the pulp and peel. Both are labile proteins and usually determine r...

Histamine is synthesized via histidine decarboxylase (HDC) in wide types of immune cells and is involved in abundant physiologic and pathologic processes. Histamine is a mediator released during inflammatory reactions, such as food allergy. Food allergy is immunological reactions to 'fight off' specific allergens within food in susceptible individuals. The aim of this study is investigation of ...
