National University of Cuyo

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>The UNCuyo was established on March 21, 1939 by the presidential decree 26971. The university was established to offer tertiary education provision in the region of <a href="/facts/Cuyo_(Argentina)/8p9kKTtd">Cuyo</a> (the provinces of Mendoza, <a href="/facts/San_Juan_Province_(Argentina)/vdvd0lP5">San Juan</a> and <a href="/facts/San_Luis_Province/Vn2657Sa">San Luis</a>). At its foundation the university was composed of some existing higher education colleges, and new ones were incorporated. Regional affiliations were established in Human Sciences, Medicine, Agronomy and Economics in Mendoza, Engineering and Architecture in San Juan, and Natural Sciences in San Luis. These links remained in place until 1973. That year the <a href="/facts/National_University_of_San_Juan/frpLX2Bu">National University of San Juan</a> and the <a href="/facts/National_University_of_San_Luis/CgYDRkJG">National University of San Luis</a> were established from the adjunct faculties of the National University of Cuyo already in these regions. Thereafter, the National University of Cuyo concentrated itself in Mendoza, in addition to a campus in Río Negro Province: the <a href="/facts/Balseiro_Institute/UjgUSKKt">Balseiro Institute</a>.

<h2 id="recent-research">Recent research</h2>
<p>In recent research conducted by UNCuyo's students it was discovered how methods of cutting and preparing food can affect how many nutrients are retained in a meal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> Notably they found that the thiosulfinates (that inhibit platelet aggregation and microparticle shedding) found in garlic and onions do not form until crushing or cutting. The research also demonstrated that steaming instead boiling is preferable as vegetables retain more of their water-soluble vitamins.
