Overview

Jogchum Plat is affiliated with Maastricht University in the Netherlands and specializes in the field of medicine, with a focus on surgery, physiology, nutrition and dietetics, molecular biology, and endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. Their research encompasses topics such as cholesterol and lipid metabolism, nutritional studies and diet, lipoproteins and cardiovascular health, fatty acid research and health, diabetes, cardiovascular risks and lipoproteins, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and the relationship between cancer, lipids, and metabolism.

Plat has contributed to several recent papers, including:

  • Effects of nutritional interventions on BDNF concentrations in humans: a systematic review, 2021, Nutritional Neuroscience
  • Short-Chain Fatty Acids (Except Hexanoic Acid) Lower NF-kB Transactivation, Which Rescues Inflammation-Induced Decreased Apolipoprotein A-I Transcription in HepG2 Cells, 2020, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • The position of functional foods and supplements with a serum LDL-C lowering effect in the spectrum ranging from universal to care-related CVD risk management, 2020, Atherosclerosis
  • Effects of Berry Anthocyanins on Cognitive Performance, Vascular Function and Cardiometabolic Risk Markers: A Systematic Review of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Intervention Studies in Humans, 2021, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • The Effect of Long-Term Aronia melanocarpa Extract Supplementation on Cognitive Performance, Mood, and Vascular Function: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy, Middle-Aged Individuals, 2020, Nutrients

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as Nutrients, European Journal of Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and Atherosclerosis. The distribution of publications indicates a strong emphasis on nutrition-related research within the broader medical field.

Plat collaborates regularly with co-authors including Ronald P. Mensink, Peter J. Joris, Dieter Lütjohann, Sabine Baumgartner, and Maurice Konings. These collaborations suggest a network of researchers working on related subjects in nutrition, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
