Abstract
This review is focussed on an update of the validity of ‘Metabolic programming’. The related concepts of critical windows and thrifty phenotype are also analyzed. The present concept of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with its varied entries is considered not only because of the importance of fetal growth assessment but also for the precision that has been given to the neonatal status assessment. Particularly the perinatal nutrition status is approached for an eventual relationship to late obesity. More recent long term studies from well defined prenatal growth positions are analysed in terms of the mentioned programming hypothesis for later health. Finally it is considered how other circumstances such as certain polymorphisms of different genes are related to the developing of obesity.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
Natural Bioactive Compounds Derivatives in Nutraceutical and Food Science
In the last years, plants have been widely used for their numerous properties and now there is growing interest in the study of classes of compounds obtained from plant species or derived from them. The importance of these natural compounds lies in their important therapeutic purposes, and in their capability ...read more
