Main lines of research
The Mediterranean diet, its foods and the interaction among different nutrients, has healthy effects
on morbidity and mortality related to chronic degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative. Into this context, the main objective of our research is to determine the benefit of
a healthy diet pattern and some of characteristic food (olive oil and wine among others) on different cardiovascular risk factors, in healthy and in patients. To establish the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to these benefits is also a key part of our research activity. Based on the knowledge of these underlying mechanisms of the benefit of the diet, progress is being achieved in research of the classical and emergent risk factors for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases together with in the establishment of future risk biomarkers.
To achieve these goals, we are working at present in the following research lines:
• Nutrition intervention studies on the cardiovascular and neurodegenerative risk.
• Classical and emergent risk factors for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, including
imaging biomarkers.
