Filter by:The aim of our study will demonstrate the effect of omega 3 supplementation on serum lipid profile level and leptin level in neonates with Intrauterine Growth Restriction( IUGR)
Lipid profile of full-term infants on different regimens. The aim of the study is to compare infant's lipid profiles on different feeding regimen during the first 6 months of life and its correlation with their mothers' lipid profiles (exclusive breastfeeding and mixed feeding) and to compare infants' lipid profiles on different feeding regimen with each other (including those on exclusive formula feeding).
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of barberry consumption on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum lipids, and inflammatory status. The study will involve cases having elevated BP (129/ < 85) and known hypertensive patients on medical treatment. Seventy people will be randomized into two groups, including intervention (barberry) or placebo groups. Before and after of 8 week intervention, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring will be done and fasting venous blood sample will be taken to measure plasma lipids. In addition, 24-hour urine will be collected to measure its sodium content and estimate sodium intake.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common chronic diseases in older populations, which has been increasing in line with rising overweight and obesity levels in recent years. Dietary intake is a major modifiable risk factor for CVD, and one such recommendation is to increase the intake of essential (omega-3) polyunsaturated fats in our diets, for example by consuming more oily fish. We know, however, from large population level dietary surveys, that many individuals within the United Kingdom (UK) population are not consuming enough oily fish. Therefore, alternative dietary sources of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are required to help meet consumer needs. Quinoa is a traditional Andean seed crop consumed in a similar fashion to staple cereal grains in Europe, and the popularity of quinoa has been growing worldwide because of its nutritional content and perceived healthiness. Quinoa contains a small amount of fat, but the ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fats is more favourable in quinoa than in other plant oils. An opportunity therefore exists to incorporate quinoa flour into more frequently consumed food products (e.g. biscuits) as an alternative means of increasing consumers omega-3 intake. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of consuming quinoa-enriched biscuits, compared to control, on markers of CVD risk over 4-weeks in older adults.
Our aim was to assess the effects of a hypocaloric diet, including diet fruit jelly with microencapsulated fish oil or conjugated linoleic acid or placebo, on anthropometry, body composition, insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with metabolic syndrome and genotype Pro12Pro in the PPAR gamma 2 gene.
Obese women have a higher prevalence of infertility than their lean counterparts. Obesity is a risk factor for anovulation , including in response to gonadotropin treatment .Further, even in women who are cycling regularly, obesity is associated with increased time-to-pregnancy and decreased chance of natural pregnancy. During obesity or periods of overnutrition, lipid accumulates in nonadipose tissues, notably skeletal muscle, liver, heart, and pancreas due to cellular uptake of exogenous fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol as well as de novo lipogenesis in response to elevated glucose. The accumulation of intracellular lipid leads to high levels of free fatty acids that are subject to oxidative damage and the formation of cytotoxic and highly reactive lipid peroxides, which ultimately are detrimental to intracellular organelles, particularly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. Exposure of the ER to high levels of free fatty acids and lipid peroxides causes structural alterations that perturb ER function and lead to accumulation of unfolded proteins and calcium release. Failure of the UPR to reestablish ER homeostasis can lead to apoptosis .When mitochondria are exposed to high levels of free fatty acids, these can become oxidized by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, forming lipid peroxides that damage essential proteins and uncouple mitochondrial function. This results in mitochondrial damage, which can cause further accumulation of lipids that cannot be catabolized, disrupted cellular homeostasis, and ultimately apoptosis . The cellular mechanisms by which obesity causes decreased conception rates are not known. Based on extensive evidence of obesity-induced lipotoxicity in other cells, it was hypothesized that obesity results in the activation of lipotoxicity pathways in the ovary. It was shown that lipid accumulation, ER stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis occur in ovarian cells and the oocyte in response to a high-fat diet. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of high BMI on oocytes, granulose cells and metabolites in the follicular fluid.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an acute intake of three different types of strawberry jam, differing in the carbohydrates and antioxidants content, on postprandial glucose metabolism, lipid profile, antioxidant status and satiety indices, in healthy adults.
Nicotinic acid (Niacin) has been used for many years for the treatment of dyslipidemia. Indeed Niacin decreases triglycerides (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) but more importantly increases high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). Although the drug has been used for so long, its precise mechanism of action remains elusive. The aim of this study was to characterise the metabolic changes induced by 8 week treatment with Niacin in dyslipidemic, overweight patients. The importance of the inhibition of lipolysis on the overall lipid effects of niacin will be studied. In order to get a very comprehensive view of all metabolic activities of niacin, this study will investigate the potential effects of niacin on Glucose metabolism, lipid and lipoprotein turnover, quantitative changes in lipoproteins and key enzymes involved in lipid metabolism.
Objectives: To investigate the acute effects of olive oil, palm olein and lard on lipid profile, insulin sensitivity and inflammatory markers. Hypothesis: Different dietary fats will alter lipid profile, insulin sensitivity and inflammatory markers postprandially.
Our research involves the detailed description of the content of the diet of x dialysis patients. For our purpose we used a newly developed "food frequency questionnaire". This is the first validated questionnaire specific for dialysis patients and we were the first to use it. Our special focus was the fiber content in the diet of our patient. Our thesis that they are way below the recommended guidelines for fiber intake was verified. Our follow will evaluate the effect of such at diet, mosTLy cardiovascular.
