Strategic Objectives
• To evaluate the impact of low birth weight and prematurity on cardiometabolic health with a follow-up strategy, analyzing the modulatory effect of lifestyle.
• To study the physiological mechanisms implicated in the association between risk factors and cardiometabolic programming, using animal models of prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction and dietary interventions.
• To assess the influence of sociocultural factors on women health during pregnancy and lactation, and the modulation of biological variables by lifestyle.
• Promotion of healthy habits during pregnancy and lactation.
• To extract and characterize healthy bioactive components from food by-products and to design ingredients and supplements to improve cardiometabolic health.
• To carry out intervention trials in healthy subjects with the designed ingredients, evaluating its anti-inflammatory and antioxidants properties and health effect.
Research Lines
• Relationship between nutrition and fetal and postnatal programming of cardiometabolic disease. Involvement of oxidative stress and inflammation
• Impact of prematurity on cardiometabolic health.
• Development of new functional ingredients from food by-products focused on cardiometabolic health.
• Study of food ingredient bioactivity, bioavailability and impact on cardiometabolic health.
• Analysis of breastmilk bioactive components and its relationship with maternal and infant health.
