Food addiction and emotional eating are associated with intradaily rest-activity rhythm variability.

Purpose: The aim of the present investigation was to study the associations among parameters characterizing eating behavior and actimetry-derived indices of circadian rhythm of motor activity.

Methods: The study involved 81 healthy participants (average age: 21.5 ± 9.

Food addiction and weight in students with high academic performance.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationships between food addiction (FA), anthropometric characteristics and academic performance.

Design: The average age (sd) of the participants was 17·5 (sd 2·7) years (64·1 % female). Each study participant indicated their sex, height, weight and academic performance and completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale.

Food preferences and YFAS/YFAS-C scores in schoolchildren and university students.

Purpose: Food addiction (FA) is one of the causes of widespread obesity in modern society. It was shown that there is an age-associated increase in incidence rate of FA in adolescents/young adults. The purpose of this study was to analyze food preferences in schoolchildren and university students with FA.

Food addiction and symptoms of depression among inhabitants of the European North of Russia: Associations with sleep characteristics and photoperiod.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the sleep-wake rhythm characteristics of young persons with food addiction (FA) and symptoms of depression. A total of 2,360 young persons living in northern European Russia were included in the study. The average age of the respondents (± standard deviation [SD]) was 17.

Food addiction in Russian adolescents: Associations with age, sex, weight, and depression.

Objective: Eating disorders are a cause of the recent obesity epidemic. Food addiction (FA) and factors associated with eating disorders have not been adequately studied in adolescents.

Method: The final study sample included 1,144 students.

In vitro gastrointestinal-resistant pectin hydrogel particles for β-glucuronidase adsorption.

Pectin hydrogel particles (PHPs) were prepared by ionotropic gelation of low methylesterified pectin of Tanacetum vulgare L. with calcium ions. Wet PHPs prepared from TVF exhibited a smaller diameter and the lower weight as well as exhibited the best textural properties in terms of hardness and elasticity compared to the PHPs prepared from commercial low methylesterified pectin (CU701) used for comparison.

Impact of cabbage pectin-protein complex on microbial β-glucuronidase activity.

We previously demonstrated that pectin-protein complex (PPC) isolated from white cabbage adsorbs the β-glucuronidase (βG) enzyme of E. coli. Concurrently, we discovered a significant increase in βG activity in the presence of PPC.
