NUTPOOL aims to investigate the link between nut consumption and the risk of non-communicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues. The project will analyze dose-response relationships and conduct subgroup analyses based on various factors. Ultimately, NUTPOOL seeks to play a substantial role in shaping worldwide public health recommendations and dietary guidelines to promote healthier eating habits.

The project is based on data collected in four prospective studies to identify groups of blood small molecules related to the Mediterranean diet and examine their associations with cognitive change and Alzheimer's disease. The results derived from this proposal will contribute to increasing knowledge about the metabolic processes related to the Mediterranean diet that influence cognitive function, providing scientific evidence to support public health recommendations for the dietary prevention of cognitive decline.

In this project, an interdisciplinary approach is adopted to determine how SUCNR1 fuels obesity-related neuroinflammation and causes altered glucose homeostasis in the periphery. EFSD will unveil novel mechanistic information about the central regulation of whole-body metabolism, which could be key to developing new therapies for obesity, disrupted glucose homeostasis, and type 2 diabetes.

The research aims to identify a group of blood molecules related to insulin resistance and examine their association with the risk of progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. The results could guide future lifestyle or pharmacological interventions with the aim of improving the metabolic abnormalities that precede the onset or progression of Alzheimer's.

The present initiative aims to examine baseline metabolomics profiles and changes at 1 year associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes in individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Additionally, we will investigate whether dietary interventions mediate the effect of metabolomics profiles on type 2 diabetes.
