Role of nutritional supplements in selected dermatological disorders: A review
While a plethora of literature continues to be published on the role of nutritional agents both in lay press and indexed journals, the data is not on a firm footing and leaves the dermatologist in a quandry and the patient confused. The various agents include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, diets & gluten. A proper… Continue reading Role of nutritional supplements in selected dermatological disorders: A review
Industry Funding and Cholesterol Research: A Systematic Review
The effect of diet on blood cholesterol concentrations has become controversial. We assessed whether industry-funded studies were more likely than non–industry-funded studies to report conclusions that were not supported by their objective findings. PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials searches through March 8, 2019, yielded 211 relevant articles. The percentage of industry-funded studies… Continue reading Industry Funding and Cholesterol Research: A Systematic Review
2021 #Dietary Guidance to Improve #Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Poor diet quality is strongly associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. This scientific statement emphasizes the importance of dietary patterns beyond individual foods or nutrients, underscores the critical role of nutrition early in life, presents elements of heart-healthy dietary patterns, and highlights structural challenges that impede adherence to heart-healthy dietary patterns.… Continue reading 2021 #Dietary Guidance to Improve #Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Role of Adipocyte Na,K-ATPase Oxidant Amplification Loop in #Cognitive Decline and #Neurodegeneration
•Adipocytes induce phenotypical changes in neurodegeneration through adipocyte NKAL.•Adipocyte specific NaKtide inhibited NKAL and improved systemic homeostasis.•NaKtide improved adipocyte phenotype and improved markers of neurodegeneration.•NaKtide improved genomic profile of hippocampus and adipose tissue in WD fed mice. SummaryRecent studies suggest that a western diet may contribute to clinical neurodegeneration and dementia. Adipocyte-specific expression of the… Continue reading Role of Adipocyte Na,K-ATPase Oxidant Amplification Loop in #Cognitive Decline and #Neurodegeneration
Impact of Sustained #Weight Loss on #Cardiometabolic Outcomes
Highlights•Sustained weight loss significantly lowers incidence of cardiometabolic outcomes.•Sustained weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic outcomes.•Greater weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic outcomes. Obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. We sought to determine the impact of obesity maintenance, weight regain, weight loss maintenance, and magnitudes of weight… Continue reading Impact of Sustained #Weight Loss on #Cardiometabolic Outcomes
Adjunctive #dietary intervention for #bipolar disorder: a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, modified double-blinded trial of a high n-3 plus low n-6 diet
To investigate the preliminary efficacy of a high n-3 plus low n-6 (H3-L6) dietary intervention in improving mood stability in Bipolar Disorder (BD) when compared to dietary intervention with usual U.S. levels of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intakes (control diet, CD). MethodsThis 2-arm, parallel-group, randomized, modified double-blind, controlled 48-week study of 12-week… Continue reading Adjunctive #dietary intervention for #bipolar disorder: a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, modified double-blinded trial of a high n-3 plus low n-6 diet
Baseline #Gut Metagenomic Functional Gene Signature Associated with Variable #Weight Loss Responses following a Healthy Lifestyle Intervention in Humans
Recent human feeding studies have shown how the baseline taxonomic composition of the gut microbiome can determine responses to weight loss interventions. However, the functional determinants underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. We report a weight loss response analysis on a cohort of 105 individuals selected from a larger population enrolled in a commercial wellness program,… Continue reading Baseline #Gut Metagenomic Functional Gene Signature Associated with Variable #Weight Loss Responses following a Healthy Lifestyle Intervention in Humans
Rhythmic neuronal activities of the rat nucleus of the solitary tract are impaired by high- #fat diet – implications for daily control of #satiety
Temporal partitioning of daily food intake is crucial for survival and involves the integration of internal circadian states and external influences such as the light-dark cycle and dietary composition. These intrinsic and extrinsic factors are interdependent with misalignment of circadian rhythms promoting body weight gain, while consumption of a calorie dense diet elevates the risk… Continue reading Rhythmic neuronal activities of the rat nucleus of the solitary tract are impaired by high- #fat diet – implications for daily control of #satiety
