Estimated dietary flavonoid intake and major food contributors in the Portugues...
Martins, S; Meireles, M; Caetano, E; Correia, D; Carvalho, C; Silva, CC; Magalhaes, V; Vilela, S; Lopes, C; Torres, DuarteFlavonoids are a key class of polyphenols, i.e., phytochemical compounds present in foods and beverages, which have been described as having health benefits in preventing several chronic diseases. Estimating flavonoid intake has already been conducted in several countries but has yet to be performed in Portugal. This study included 5005 participants aged 3-84 years and aimed to estimate dietary flavonoid intake...

Anthocyanin effects on microglia M1/M2 phenotype: Consequence on neuronal fract...
Meireles, M; Marques, C; Norberto, S; Santos, P; Iva Fernandes; Nuno Mateus; Faria, Ana; Calhau, CMicroglia mediate multiple aspects of neuroinflammation, including cytotoxicity, repair, regeneration, and immunosuppression due to their ability to acquire diverse activation states, or phenotypes. Modulation of microglial phenotype or microglia-neuron crosstalk can be an appealing neurotherapeutic strategy. Anthocyanins are a class of flavonoids found e.g., in berries that has been attracting interest due to ...
Effect of chronic consumption of blackberry extract on high-fat induced obesity...
Meireles, M; Rodriguez Alcala, LM; Marques, C; Norberto, S; Freitas, J; Iva Fernandes; Nuno Mateus; Gomes, A; Faria, Ana; Calhau, CFlavonoids have been presented as potential protectors against metabolic and cognitive dysfunction. However, mechanisms underlying these 'claims' have not been sufficiently explored. To analyse the effect of long-term supplementation with blackberry extract (BE) in the context of a high-fat or a standard diet, Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 6) fed with a standard or a high-fat diet, with or without...
The impact of chronic blackberry intake on the neuroinflammatory status of rats...
Meireles, M; Marques, C; Norberto, S; Fernandes, I; Mateus, N; Rendeiro, C; Spencer, JPE; Faria, A; Calhau, CNeuroinflammation has been suggested as a central mediator of central nervous system dysfunction, including in dementia and neurodegenerative disease. Flavonoids have emerged as promising candidates for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and are thought to be capable of antiinflammatory effects in the brain. In the present study, the impact of a chronic intake of an anthocyanin extract from blackberry...
Excess perigestational folic acid exposure induces metabolic dysfunction in pos...
Keating, E; Correia-Branco, A; Araújo, JR; Meireles, M; Fernandes, R; Guardão, L; Guimarães, JT; Martel, F; Calhau, CThe aim of this study was to understand whether high folic acid (HFA) exposure during the perigestational period induces metabolic dysfunction in the offspring, later in life. To do this, female Sprague-Dawley rats (G0) were administered a dose of folic acid (FA) recommended for pregnancy (control, C, 2 mg FA/kg of diet, n=5) or a high dose of FA (HFA, 40 mg FA/kg of diet, n=5). Supplementation began at mating ...
