• Nutritional challenges for older adults in Europe: current status and future directions 

  Kehoe, Laura; Walton, Janette; Flynn, Albert (Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Nutrition Society, 2019-01-30)

  Population ageing is rapidly progressing and it is estimated that by 2050 one in every five people globally will be aged 60 years or over. Research has shown that adequate nutritional status can positively impact the ageing ...
• Co-products of beef processing enhance non-haem iron absorption in an in vitro digestion/caco-2 cell model 

  O'Flaherty, Elisabeth A. A.; Tsermoula, Paraskevi; O'Neill, Eileen E.; O'Brien, Nora M. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2018-12-03)

  Beef processing produces high volumes of protein rich, low value, ‘waste’ co‐products such as offal. Beef improves uptake of low bioavailable non‐haem iron (found in vegetables, fortificants, supplements) and this effect ...
• Functional protein rich extracts from bovine and porcine hearts using acid or alkali solubilisation and isoelectric precipitation 

  Tsermoula, Paraskevi; Virgili, Claudia; Ortega, Rodrigo G.; Mullen, Anne M.; Alvarez, Carlos; O'Brien, Nora M.; O'Flaherty, Elisabeth A. A.; O'Neill, Eileen E. (Wiley, 2018-12-17)

  Alkali solubilisation (ALS) was compared with acid solubilisation (ACS) for preparation of protein rich extracts from bovine and porcine hearts. ACS and ALS recovered 51.53%–55.74% of the total protein from bovine and ...
• Immunomodulatory activity of 5 kDa permeate fractions of casein hydrolysates generated using a range of enzymes in Jurkat T cells and RAW264.7 macrophages 

  O'Sullivan, Siobhán M.; O'Callaghan, Yvonne C.; O'Keeffe, Martina B.; FitzGerald, Richard J.; O'Brien, Nora M. (Elsevier, 2018-12-31)

  The in vitro bioactivity of 5 kDa ultrafiltration permeate fractions of casein hydrolysates produced using different enzymes were compared. Reverse phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography and gel permeation chromatography ...
• Exploring the concept of functional vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy: impact of the interaction between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone on perinatal outcomes 

  Hemmingway, Andrea; Kenny, Louise C.; Malvisi, Lucio; Kiely, Mairead E. (Oxford University Press, 2018)

  Background: Associations of vitamin D with perinatal outcomes are inconsistent and few studies have considered the wider calcium metabolic system. Objectives: We aimed to explore functional vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy ...
