MoBioFood attended to the 1st International Conference on Food Bioactives and Health. 13-15 Sept. Norwich, UK
The aim of the Conference was to provide an open forum that brings together researchers from various scientific communities to present the latest research and discuss common themes and challenges to understanding the impacts of food bioactives on health.
MoBioFood presented a poster entitled "A rat model of moderate intestinal inflammation to study molecular bioactivity of food".

Unexpected visit to MoBioFood!
When Gemma finished her PhD at Universitat Rovira i Virgili with us, she continued her career as a researcher in Scotland. At the moment Gemma is working as a researcher in Brunel University London.
Many thanks for your visit Gemma!!

New paper published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research
Our work entitled "Subchronic treatment with grape-seed phenolics inhibits ghrelin production despite a short-term stimulation of ghrelin secretion produced by bitter-sensing flavanols" authored by Joan Serrano, Àngela Casanova-Martí, Inge Depoortere, M Teresa Blay, Ximena Terra, Montserrat Pinent and Anna Ardévol has just been published on-line in the Molecular Nutrition and Food Research Journal.
In this study we describe the short-term and long-term effects of GSPE on ghrelin secretion in vivo in rats and ex vivo in rat intestinal segments. A murine ghrelinoma cell line was used to study the effects of GSPE and the main pure phenolic compounds of GSPE on ghrelin release. Pure phenolic compounds were eventually studied in rats and rat intestinal segments to confirm the effects. Since monomeric flavanols are agonists of the bitter receptors hTAS2R14 and hTAS2R39, we used ghrelinoma cells to test the hypothesis that bitter-taste signaling is involved in the flavanol-mediated effects on ghrelin release.
