The Effects of Body Composition, Dietary Intake, and Physical Activity on Calcaneus Quantitative Ultrasound in Spanish Young Adults
Lifestyle choices and their consequences during early adulthood could influence bone mass, particularly physical activity and lean mass. Furthermore, this study provides novel data about bone mass as indicated by the QUS measurements at the … Leer más
Phenolic Compounds in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Stimulate Human Osteoblastic Cell Proliferation
Cell proliferation was increased. The most effective EVOO phenolic extracts were those obtained from the Picual variety, as they significantly increased cell proliferation by 18-22%. Conversely, Arbequina phenolic extracts increased cell proliferation by 9-13%. A … Leer más
