Abstract:

 

Biography:

Among neurodegenerative disease Parkinson's disease (PD) represents the second most widespread . Observational studies have linked the occurrence of PD to environmental exposures and lifestyle habits, signifying a huge field of research in order to improve PD prevention or disease modification in populations but also in individuals.Up to now, gene–environment interactions and other factors as chemical exposure, physical activity, dietary habits or smoking have been deepened. From observational studies several low-risk and potentially high-yield recommendations for lifestyle modification have been formulated, in particular, dietary modifications. So, the role nutrition in both neuroprotection and neurodegeneration has become important for neuroscientists and nutritional neuroscientists.Several studies have emphasized that some nutrients may increase an individual risk for PD, while others may be neuroprotective. Such evidences are not unexpected, as some foods are able to impact on the functions of mitochondria, and therefore on the production of free radicals, while others perform very important antioxidant functions, necessary to block the harmful behavior of free radicals. So, it has been demonstrated how a poor diet can determine an increase of oxidative stress impairing the antioxidant defense system, while a well-balanced diet can govern some neuroprotection.Some nutrients, as diary product, have been linked to an augmented risk of PD, while others as phytochemicals, caffeine, genistein, or tea polyphenols and alcohol have been associated with a reduced progression of PD.It exist a lack in epidemiological studies evaluating dietary factors and PD, so those studies would deserve further attention. Moreover, considering critical factors as non-motor symptoms, such as dysphagia, depression, constipation or dehydration, which can substantially impact the quality of the diet, should ameliorate the importance of studies evaluating the role of nutrients in PD.

Gaia Rocchitta has completed her graduation in chemistry in 1999 with a thesis about polyphenols in red wines, then she completed her PhD in Neuroscience at School of Medicine of Sassari University (Italy) in 2004. She was a Postdoctoral fellow at School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, University College, Dublin (Ireland) in 2006, working on the development of amperometric biosensors for in vivo-monitoring of neurochemical compounds. She currently is a tenured researcher and lecturer in Pharmacology and Nutraceutical at School of Medicine of Sassari University (Italy). She has published more than 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract:

Theoretical and molecular biology has expanded its scope recently to include a vast array of new topics following the greater availability of new technologies.  Glycobiology is one such subcategory of Life Sciences that has considerably benefited from the introduction of almost fantascientific novel tools to explore humans at the molecular level. Advances in glycobiology have have new realms of explanation possibilities especially in Nutrition. Blood type diets (BTD) have now been confirmed and thoroughly explained both theoretically and practically by the presence of glycans (small oligosugars) in all foods  As the name suggests, blood groupings identify the presence of these glycans in all women and men which are thus divided into four blood groups: A, B, AB and O.  These glycans are not only expressed on red blood cells but also on every other cell in the human body and in some cases (secretors) in bodily secretions too (such as saliva).  Most interestingly, it is now a proven fact that the different sugar terminals (residue) of the three different glycans (A, B and O) forming the four blood groups react differentially not only with other glycans but also with other glycan-binding proteins (lectins) whatever their origin (exogeneous and endogeneous).  Moreover, glycans on proteins (glycoproteins) and lipids (glycolipids) influence the way these (whether on the cell surface, within or in the extracellular matrix) react to various stimuli (internal or external) and consequentially alter most biochemical cascades.  Finally, he consequences are obvious: each blood group will have specific nutritional needs as exemplified by various physiological factors.
