A Clinical Investigation: A Weight Loss Kit with a Prebiotic Formula for Weight Management and Metabolic Improvement
Nutrition | BFM, VFA, PBF | Chang et al. | 2020 | Taiwan | Journal of Food and Nutrition Research
This preliminary clinical study reveals the possibilities of a weight loss kit with a prebiotic formula for weight management and metabolic improvement in volunteers. Considering the convenience, passive diets are a popular choice for some people for weight management. However, the synergic effect between passive diet kits and prebiotics has seldom been reported. 90 volunteers were enrolled in this two-month study and assigned them to normal diet (ND), weight loss program kit (WLPK), or WLPK with the prebiotic formula (WLPK-AKK) …
Effects of Artepelin-C Supplementation Present in Propolis Related to Inflammatory Processes in Physically Active Individuals
Nutrition | FFM, BFM, PBF | Erico Chagas Caperuto et al. | 2019 | Brazil | International Journal of Food and Nutrition Research
The scientific literature shows that propolis has both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities and is widely used in phytotherapic therapy. In this context, its main objective is to evaluate the inflammation recovery process in physically active individuals, from two groups, with or without propolis intake. Volunteers had their food, blood and pain parameters evaluated with or without propolis intake. The trial used seven male volunteers undergoing specific training in two 30-day protocols, one using placebo and another using propolis …

Curcumin and long-chain Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for Prevention of type 2 Diabetes (COP-D): study protocol for a ran
Nutrition | BW, BMI, SMM, BFM, PBF, WHR | Thota RN et al. | 2016 | Australia | Trials
Lifestyle interventions, including increase in physical activity and dietary counselling, have shown the ability to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D) in high-risk state individuals, but the prevalence is still skyrocketing in Australia, in line with global prevalence. Currently, no medicines are approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia for the management of prediabetes. Therefore, there is a need of developing a safer, biologically efficacious and cost-effective alternative for delaying the transition of individual health state …
Association of major dietary patterns with muscle strength and muscle mass index in middle-aged men and women: Results from a c
Nutrition | FFMI, PBF, BFM | Shahinfar et al. | 2020 | Iran | Clinical Nutrition ESPEN
Background Dietary patterns may affect muscle mass, strength, and function; hence, we evaluated the association of major dietary patterns in relation to muscle mass index (MMI) and muscle strength in middle-aged adults. We hypothesized that unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with reduced muscle mass and muscle strength. Subjects and methods: The present cross-sectional study recruited 270 adults (118 males and 152 females) aged between 18 and 75 years' old. Socio-demographic data, body composition and muscle …

Nutrition | VFA, BMI, PBF | Gažarová et al. | 2020 | Slovakia | Rocz Panstw Zakl Hig
Background. Serum uric acid (UA) levels are one of the determinants of the cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome but none of criteria for that syndrome include serum UA. Consumption of bakery products (with or without gluten) is associated with an increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity and hyperuricemia frequently occurs in subjects with overweight and obesity. Objective. The aim of the study was to find out how 6-weeks consumption of gluten-free bakery products can affect risk factors for cardiovascular disease …

Nutrition | BMI, PBF, WHR | Zakavi et al | 2018 | Iran | Crescent Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impacts of chavir aquatic extract (Ferulago angulata Boiss) along with aerobic exercises on serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and C-reactive protein (CRP) of obese males. Materials and Methods: In this study, 40 males with body mass index (BMI)> 30 kg/m (2) and average age of 33.63+/-4.78 years were randomly categorized into 4 groups of 10 individuals as control, combination (using the aquatic extract of chavir along with aerobic exercises), consumption of chavir aquatic extract …

Nutrition | PBF | Mazahery H et al. | 2014 | New Zealand | European Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Results: All women in Part-I and 60% women in Part-II had serum-25 (OH) D< 50 nmol/l. Serum-25 (OH) D was higher in prescribed vitamin D users than nonusers (P= 0.001) and in Iranians than Arab women (P= 0.001; Part-I). Mean (sd) serum-25 (OH) D increased in all groups (time effect, P< 0.001) and differed between groups (time× dosage interaction, P< 0.001; 50 000 IU: from 44.0±16.0 to 70.0±15.0 nmol/l; 100 000 IU: 48.0±11.0 to 82.0±17.0 nmol/l; placebo: 45.0±18.0 to 54.0±18.0 nmol/l). Only 32% and 67% achieved serum-25 …
