Short-term cardiovascular responses to ingestion of mineral water in healthy non-obese adults: Impact of mineral components

Monnard, Cathriona Rosemary ; Montani, Jean-Pierre ; Grasser, Erik Konrad

In: Journal of Functional Foods, 2020, vol. 71, p. 104017

Background: The role of mineral components in the hemodynamic response to water drinking is still elusive.Methods: We conducted a randomized crossover study in 16 non-obese, healthy subjects (8 women) to investigate cardiovascular responses to water drinks differing in the mineral content. Continuous measurements included beat- to-beat blood pressure, electrocardiography derived RR-intervals,...

Dose-dependent heart rate responses to drinking water: a randomized crossover study in young, non-obese males

Grasser, Erik Konrad

In: Clinical Autonomic Research, 2020, p. -

The aim of the study was to explore a potential dose effect of water on heart rate responses and markers of vagal tone modulation.Methods: This was a randomized crossover study involving eight men whose heart rate and heart rate variability parameters were continuously measured following ingestion of different volumes of still mineral water (200, 400, 600, and 800 mL).Results: A significant...

Cardiovascular responses to a glucose drink in young male individuals with overweight/obesity and mild alterations in glucose metabolism, but without impaired glucose tolerance

Monnard, Cathriona R. ; Grasser, Erik Konrad

In: European Journal of Nutrition, 2019, p. -

Little is known about whether mild aberrations in glucose metabolism, which are seen in overweight/obese subjects (OW/OB) without impaired glucose tolerance, affect regulator control elements for blood pressure homeostasis. Methods Hence, we measured in age-matched male subjects with normal weight (n = 16; BMI = 22.4 kg m−2) and OW/OB (n = 11; BMI = 28.6 kg m−2) continuous...

The long-term impact of ranking algorithms in growing networks

Zhang, Shilun ; Medo, Matúš ; Lü, Linyuan ; Mariani, Manuel Sebastian

In: Information Sciences, 2019, vol. 488, p. 257–271

When users search online for content, they are constantly exposed to rankings. For example, web search results are presented as a ranking of relevant websites, and online bookstores often show us lists of best-selling books. While popularity-based ranking algorithms (like Google’s PageRank) have been extensively studied in previous works, we still lack a clear understanding of their...
