Filter by:Obesity is characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat that gives rise to significant comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and many cancers. According to WHO, Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, with an estimated 57.8% of adults worldwide expected to be classified as obese by 2030. Therefore, obesity is invariably referred to as a crucial public health problem that requires urgent attention to prevent obesity-related health outcomes. Thyroid dysfunction is often accompanied by changes in body weight and body composition, leading to obesity. The rising risk of obesity has created susceptibility for every individual irrespective of age, gender and demography. Hence, the focus of researchers is now shifting to devising preventive strategies from the treatment approaches for obesity. To guide healthcare professionals in treating obesity, several guidelines from The Obesity Society (TOS) have been prepared that outline multiple therapies like lifestyle modifications, increased physical activities, dietary modifications, use of medications and in some cases, even surgeries are recommended. However, poor receptivity of exercise among the general population required healthcare professionals to design an exercise program that could be cost and time-effective for the patient. Hence, the present study aims to determine the effect of exercise and the documentation of the best possible exercise regime that could increase TSH among the class I obese population.
The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of Omega-3 PUFAs on the gut microbiota and serum lipid metabolites in participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, employing high-throughput sequencing technology and untargeted lipidomics.
The aim of the project is to study the influence of biostimulate crops on a healthy population in order to assess influence on hematological parameters and specific metabolism (glucose, lipid, iron, bone) and gut and lipid hormones. Secondary outcome will be to find out micronutrient presence in urine and serum. The use of biostimulation in modern agriculture has rapidly expanded in recent years, owing to their beneficial effects on crop yield and product quality, which have come under the scope of intensive research.
The goal of this observational study is to compare serum glucose and lipid metabolism levels between health volunteers and vitiligo patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether vitiligo is related to glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. Participants will complete a vitiligo questionnaire and test serum levels of indicators related to glucose and lipid metabolism. Researchers will compare vitiligo patients with healthy volunteers to see if there is a correlation between vitiligo and disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism.
The EMERALD intervention involves 1) ordering an Emergency Department (ED) lipid panel, 2) calculating 10-year Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk using the Pooled Cohort Equations, 3) prescribing a moderate- or high-intensity statin if applicable, and 4) referring patients to outpatient care (primary care, preventive cardiology, or general cardiology, depending on risk level).
Breastfeeding could effectively be associated with a lower risk of future type 2 diabetes (T2D) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but the short-term protective impact of puerperal breastfeeding on maternal metabolic recovery of GDM women remains unascertained. The investigators recruited GDM participants at 6-9 weeks postpartum and retrieved clinical diagnoses of GDM from electronic medical records. Feeding patterns were collected via phone calls. Glucose metabolism parameters and lipid profiling were performed on fasting plasma samples collected from patients 6-9 weeks postpartum (20 breastfeeding cases vs. 15 formula feeding cases).
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the acute effects on postprandial lipemia and glycemia by supplementing a high-fat meal with either white button (WB) or shiitake (SH) mushroom powder in relatively healthy adults, aged 18 to 35.
Nutritional and metabolic alterations in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) such as inflammation, oxidative stress, dyslipidemia, and poor nutritional status which associate with poor clinical outcome can potentially be targeted and ameliorated by interventions using nutritional supplements. The investigators evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of oral supplementation with flaxseed oil and pomegranate dry extract on markers of inflammation, lipid profile and nutritional status of individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The goal of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of oral supplementation with flaxseed oil and pomegranate dry extract on markers of inflammation, lipid profile and nutritional status of individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Participants will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to supplementation group to receive twice a day 1 capsule of 1.000 mg of flaxseed oil plus 1 capsule of 600mg of pomegranate dry extract; or to placebo group, to receive twice a day 1 capsule of 1.000 mg of sunflower oil plus 1 capsule of 600mg of microcrystalline celulose.
The subject of doctoral dissertation: Assessment of the effects of a meatless, ketogenic restrictive diet on body composition, strength capacity, oxidative stress and immune response During planning of research and topic of the doctoral dissertation, it was considered how to modify a standard ketogenic diet rich in saturated fatty acids so that the use of this model of nutrition has the most anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, it was decided to conduct a research to check whether a diet rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will show such an effect when following a high-fat diet. Hypotheses: 1. The ketogenic diet reduces systemic inflammation. 2.The ketogenic diet reduces oxidative stress. 3. The ketogenic diet reduces body fat. 4. A ketogenic diet does not worsen strength performance.
Levetiracetam is a widely prescribed antiseizure medication in epileptic children due to an estimated better safety profile and easy accessibility. There is limited and contradicting data about the effect of levetiracetam on serum lipid metabolisms, especially in epileptic children. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of levetiracetam therapy on lipid metabolism in euthyroid non-obese epileptic children. In this case-control study, the investigators recruited 37 epileptic children receiving levetiracetam monotherapy for at least 12 months and 54 healthy controls. All the participants were euthyroid and within normal nutritional status limits for their age. Fasting blood samples were obtained for serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, Triglyceride/HDL Index, uric acid, CRP, and transaminases at the administration. The investigators would like to show if epileptic children with levetiracetam monotherapy are susceptible to lipid metabolism alterations.
