GUT-HOST Complex Communication Network to Regulate Energy Homeostasis: Effects of Plant Bioactive Products

This seminar presents the research that is currently conducted to try to understand the role of plant derived bioactive compounds in human metabolic health. It shows a compendium of scientific pre-clinical evidences that indicate that these compounds can help to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids and thus, to prevent or reduce the development of obesity and of associated disorders (hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes). The seminar includes a series of examples from publications that demonstrate these effects and that investigate potential molecular mechanisms of action in different tissues, including both human tissues and the intestinal microbiota. Finally, the seminar presents examples of the studies that investigate these effects in humans. The current problems in relation with the lack of evidence and the interindividual variability in the response of humans to the intake of these compounds is also discussed.

1. There is access to these seminars through Portal del Doctorando, activity Seminarios de Investigación (Research seminars). There are three blocks (Ciencias Médicas - Medical Sciences, Nutrición y Tecnología Alimentaria- Nutrition and Food technology, and Inglés- English language) to choose seven seminars from any of these three blocks. 2. Seminars could be carried out at any time (before the deadline stablished by EIDUCAM). 3. For each seminar, students must view the recording and the PDF presentation. After this, two tasks must be accomplished: • A test questionnaire. Once it is filled in and sent, it will be corrected automatically. Only if all the questions are answered correctly (there will be five attempts to achieve it), there will be acces to the next task. • Write and submit a report in PDF format about the content of the seminar. This report will consist in an aproximately 600 words summary and must include three bibliographic references (as Vancouver or APA Recommendations) related to the Seminar subject area. 4. The responsible person of this activity will correct the report and qualification (0/10, if failed or 10/10 if pass) will be published. If it is failed, the student must read the observations, repeat the report and sent it again before the deadline (unlimited sending). 5. Once the evaluation is finished, a certificate will be sent for each passed seminar. The student must load the certificate to the corresponding activity in LAUREA, and it will be validated by his/her tutor.
