Filter by:A dietary pattern based on Mediterranean diet has been reported as healthy for humans, as well as doing aerobic exercise regularly, diminishing the development of potential inflammation in subjects. Protein intake has been proposed as nutritional strategy to further improve these positives outcomes in terms of preventing inflammation diseases. In this work, overweight patients followed a Mediterranean diet together with aerobic exercise according to WHO-guidelines and were supplemented with 20 g of hemp protein/day, for twelve weeks. Anthropometric and biochemical measures (including analysis of oligoelements), as well as plasma circulating amino acids were evaluated in each patient at the end of the intervention, to assess whether biologically relevant changes could be observed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in force and power production, soreness, inflammation, and oxidative stress after repeated sprinting activity and powdered tart cherry ingestion in trained males and females.
In this study, the aim was to investigate the relationship between SII and other laboratory parameters with disease activity in AS patients and to discuss its usability in the follow-up and treatment process.
Metabolic syndrome and periodontitis are diseases that lower the quality of life and their incidence rates are increasing. Since both of these diseases are associated with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, they may be comorbid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of interleukin-20 (IL-20) on periodontal destruction in individuals with metabolic syndrome while considering the relationship between metabolic syndrome and periodontitis. This study included a total of 80 individuals who were systemically and periodontally healthy (CG, n=20), were systemically healthy and had periodontitis (PG, n=20), had metabolic syndrome and were periodontally healthy (MG, n=20), or had both metabolic syndrome and periodontitis (MPG, n=20). Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum samples were collected from all participants for biochemical analyses.
Zinc is a pivotal micronutrient that participates in numerous essential metabolic pathways within the human body. Its multifaceted role makes the manifestations of zinc deficiency remarkably nonspecific and age-dependent. In children, zinc deficiency can manifest as growth retardation, cognitive impairment, recurrent infections, and other diverse symptoms. Adolescents and adults may experience fertility issues, work capacity impairment, and metabolic disorders due to zinc deficiency. Furthermore, zinc plays a crucial role in maintaining immune function, particularly in the elderly, where recurrent infections can be a notable outcome of deficiency. Given its fundamental importance, the potential benefits of zinc supplementation and fortification strategies have been explored, with some evidence indicating positive effects on health outcomes such as childhood mortality, diarrhea morbidity, and even risk factors for conditions like Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Understanding zinc's significance in these metabolic processes is vital for addressing deficiencies and improving public health. A study is needed to assess the effect of various types of fermented and unfermented wheat flour flatbread and its impact on health including zinc status, anthropometric outcomes, risk of T2DM and CVD and morbidity on adolescent and adult females. The whole wheat flatbread trial would be ideal to inform policy as it is regularly consumed in Sindh as most people rely on chakki for wheat grinding and it is used commonly to make roti at home.
The participants were divided into two groups: Group I (cryotherapy) (n =10) after the completion of the mechanical preparation intra oral cryotherapy was applied. Group II (control) (n =10) received standard root canal treatment without the application of any type of cryotherapy.
This study aimed to link lifestyle factors (Mediterranean diet adherence, stress, sleep quality, physical activity) to caries and apical periodontitis in 149 university-based individuals. Data included clinical and radiographic assessments and lifestyle questionnaires. Statistical tests and logistic regression were employed to analyze the relationships between these factors and oral health conditions.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to examine circulating biomarkers before and after weight loss in patients with obesity, with or without concomitant diabetes, undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions that are being addressed are: - Do biomarkers of hemostasis, including coagulation, fibrinolysis, and platelet function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - Do biomarkers of endothelial function and other aspects of vascular function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - Do biomarkers of inflammation, including markers of adipocyte function, improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - The possible role of circulating extracellular vesicles reflecting biological functions above will also be investigated (optional) Participants will be asked to attend in total five study visits before and after surgery including a final visit at two years post-surgery. Comparisons will be performed within- as well as between groups.
The effect of parenteral glutamine on the biomarkers of myocardial injury and inflammation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass (DCP) will be analyzed. Randomized controlled clinical trial, from October 2018 to February 2022. 124 patients: 14 patients with DCP and 14 patients without DCP, both + glutamine (L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide, at a dose of 0.4 g / kg) 6 hours before surgery and 14 patients with PCD and 14 patients without PCD + placebo (saline) 6 hours before surgery. Blood samples will be taken to measure the level of TROP-I, CPK-MB, HSP-70, TNFa, IL6, IL10 and PCR 1 hour before the administration of Glutamine / Placebo, 1 hour before surgery, then at 1 , 12 and 24 hours after surgery.
This is a prospective, interventional, double-blinded placebo-controlled study of up to 40 participants to evaluate the effect of a botanical formulation on inflammatory biomarkers and epigenetic age.
