Abstract: BackgroundDietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) has been assumed as a useful tool to assess the relationship between the cumulative antioxidant food capacity and several chronic disorders. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the potential relationships of dietary TAC with adiposity, metabolic and oxidative stress markers in healthy young adults.MethodsThis study enrolled 266 healthy subjects (105 men/ 161 women; 22 ± 3 years-old; 22.0 ± 2.7 kg/m2). Dietary intake, anthropometry, blood p… Show more

“…The TAC of foods describes the ability of food antioxidants to scavenge free radicals and is measured using oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (14). Dietary TAC has been positively associated with plasma TAC and has also been related to higher diet quality, based on common indexes such as the so-called Mediterranean diet and healthy eating index scores (13,15). Previously we reported that dietary TAC was related to all aspect of the metabolic syndrome and, more interestingly, higher dietary TAC could prevent subsequent weight and abdominal fat gain in adults (16).…”

“…83,84 Oxidative stress can be evaluated by estimating end-products of oxidative damage; proteins as advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), lipids (as malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) and nucleic acid (such as 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), in blood and urine. 85 …”

“…85 Weight reduction can be achieved through hypocaloric diet coupled with regular moderate physical exercise, which is more effective than hypocaloric diet alone in reducing oxidative stress and improving insulin sensitivity. 85,86 Moreover, Mediterranean diet comprises food rich in fruits, legumes, whole grains, fish and low-fat dairy products; usually contains beneficial macronutrients such as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) and vitamins as vitamin C. They suppress inflammation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 86,87 Dietary Supplements in Diet a. Vitamins…”
