Somatostatin Receptor Imaging in the Diagnosis and Management of Parathyroid Neuroendocrine Neoplasia.

Background: Parathyroid tumors are classified as parathyroid neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) by the IARC-WHO classification. These tumors can occur with NENs from other sites, which often require total-body [68Ga]-DOTA-peptides PET/CT. This study aimed to assess the utility of [68Ga]-DOTA-peptide PET/CT in imaging parathyroid NENs and to evaluate the underlying mechanisms.

Food (Matrix) Effects on Bioaccessibility and Intestinal Permeability of Major Olive Antioxidants.

Background: olive pomace extract (OPE) is a rich source of health promoting polyphenols (hydroxytyrosol (HTS) and tyrosol (TS)) and can be used as a nutraceutical ingredient of dietary supplements and functional foods. Its adequate bioavailability is a prerequisite for excreting biological activity and can be significantly and specifically affected by different food matrices.

Methods: in order to investigate food effects on polyphenol bioaccessibility, OPE was co-digested with different foods according to internationally harmonized in vitro digestibility method.
