A study conducted within the framework of the NUTRIMENTHE project –coordinated by the University of Granada- revealed that infants born to mothers who consumed a considerable amount of fish during pregnancy score higher in verbal intelligence and fine motor skill tests, and present an increased prosocial behavior. Blood samples were collected from 2 000 women at 20 gestational weeks and from the umbilical cord of the infant at birth Can pregnant women improve their progeny’s intelligence by (...)
The characterization of these cells will allow individualized follow-up of cancer patients, and the development of more efficient therapies. Researchers at the Centro de Genómica e Investigación Oncológica (GENYO) –of which the University of Granada, Pfizer and the Andalusian Regional Government are members– have identified the genetic and phenotypic changes that cause tumor progression and metastasis. The process of metastasis -which is the main cause of cancer death- is caused by tumor cells invading distant organs (...)
Scientists at the University of Granada have shown that oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol –present in a particularly high concentration in virgin olive oil– and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids –found in fish– relieve the symptoms of pancreatitis. The researchers evaluated the role of Mediterranean diet ingredients in the prevention and mitigation of cell damage. Oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol –present in a particularly high concentration in virgin olive oil– and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids –found in fish– (...)
A higher exposure to xenoestrogens -a type of environmental pollutants acting as hormones- University of Granada researchers have found a correlation between estrogenic burden in women’s placenta and a higher neonatal weight at birth. University of Granada researchers have proven that infants born to women living in large cities are more likely to have higher weight at birth than those born to mothers living in rural areas. This is probably due to a higher exposure to xenoestrogens, (...)
University of Granada researchers have proven that overweight women -especially those with morbid obesity- develop this disease at an earlier age. A total of 524 women with breast cancer participated in the study. The researchers found that women who started menstruating at a very early age –between 9 and 10 years- developed breast cancer at a younger age. Obese women develop breast cancer at a younger age than other women. Furthermore, the likelihood of developing (...)
This hypothesis had never been proven before in humans, and it has been demonstrated by University of Granada researchers. Spontaneous abortion is estimated to affect 15 percent of women, mainly in the first trimester of pregnancy. Scientists at the University of Granada have confirmed that a low plasma level of copper and zinc in pregnant women may be a factor associated with spontaneous abortion, a hypothesis that had not been confirmed to date, and which had (...)
This significant progress –based on nanotechnology– has been achieved by researchers of the universities of Granada, Edimbourgh and Kebangsaan (Malaisie). This therapy is based on the encapsulation of a catalyst (palladium) into microspheres, to synthesize artificial materials or activate drugs into human cells, thus avoiding any toxicity. Researchers of the University of Granada and Edimbourgh have developed a new therapy for cancer based on nanotechnology that might improve significantly chemotherapy, as it has not cause (...)
Researchers at the University of Granada have proved that this method helps to reduce caesarean rate in women in labour with cardiotocographic recordings (CTG) compatible with the risk of loss of fetal wellbeing, and presents more advantages than pulse oximetry. This study was conducted with 180 women in labour who were admitted to the dilation area of the University Hospital Virgen de las Nieves in Granada, Spain. University of Granada researchers have proved that fetal electrocardiogram (...)
Researchers at the University of Granada have proven that music therapy combined with other relaxation techniques based on guided imagery reduces significantly pain, depression and anxiety, and improves sleep among patients suffering from fibromyalgia. This is a pioneer experimental study in Europe University of Granada researchers have proven that music therapy combined with other relax techniques based on guided imagery reduces significantly pain, depression and anxiety, and improves sleep among patients suffering from fibromyalgia. Thus, this (...)
Researchers at the University of Granada have found that goat milk has nutritional characteristics beneficial to health. They have determined that goat milk has many nutrients that make it similar to human milk The research group AGR 206 at the University of Granada Department of Physiology and Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology "Jose Matáix", coordinated by professor Margarita Sánchez Campos, have proven that goat milk has nutritional characteristics beneficial to health. The regular consumption of goat (...)
