Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sonia Gascon"
- Sonia Gascon's recent research primarily investigates the health effects of dietary components, particularly focusing on the benefits of virgin olive oil and its constituents, such as squalene, on metabolic disorders like atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
- Her studies employ various animal models, such as ApoE-deficient mice and swine, to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and inflammation, highlighting specific hepatic factors that influence these pathways.
- Gascon's findings suggest that dietary interventions with components like squalene can modify lipid profiles and potentially provide protective effects against diseases like atherosclerosis and NASH, underscoring the significance of Mediterranean dietary fats in health.
