Reduced postprandial serum triglyceride after a meal prepared using hot air frying: A randomized crossover trial
Nutrition | LBM, BFM | Feng et al. | 2020 | China | NFS Journal
Background Elevated circulating post–meal triglyceride concentrations or postprandial triglyceride (ppTG) is an independent contributor to risk for coronary heart disease. Reliable ppTG reduction can be achieved by lowering the fat content of ingested meals. Objective We hypothesized that a commonly consumed fried meal prepared by a hot air frying technique, which facilitates lower cooking oil usage, would result in lower ppTG responses than the same meal prepared by conventional deep fat frying. Design We conducted a randomized …
The impact of nutritional supplementation on quality of life in patients infected with hepatitis C virus
Nutrition | FFM, BFM | Boulhosa RS et al. | 2013 | Brazil | Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics
Background The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of animal and vegetable protein supplementation on health‐related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and to investigate clinical and nutritional variables related to quality of life in these patients. Methods One hundred and forty patients infected with HCV were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the S oy G roup (SG; n= 72), where patients received a soy supplement diet and the C asein G roup (CG; n= 68), where patients received casein as a …
A pilot clinical trial on l-carnitine supplementation in combination with motivation training: effects on weight management in
Nutrition | SLM, BFM | Satoshi Odo et al. | 2013 | Japan | Food and Nutrition Sciences
A 4-week low dosage (500 mg/day) L-carnitine supplementation in combination with motivation training was carried out in 24 overweight (BMI 25.8-26.6 kg/m2) Japanese males in the course of a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study. L-carnitine motivated group showed significant body weight loss and a decrement of serum triglyceride level vs. the non-motivated placebo group. Serum adiponectin levels increased in both L-carnitine supplemented groups. The beneficial effects of L-carnitine were amplified by motivation …
Boron-rich diet may regulate blood lipid profile and prevent obesity: A non-drug and self-controlled clinical trial
Nutrition | BW, BMI, BFM | R. Kuru, et al. | 2019 | Turkey | Journal of Trance Elements in Medicine and Biology
Background: Boron is an element commonly found in nature. The main boron source for organisms is through food and drinking water. In recent years, it is suggested that the “boron-rich diet” can affect human health positively. However, more detailed studies are needed. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of increased dietary boron intake on some biochemical parameters in humans. Material and methods: Thirteen healthy women consumed diets containing 10 mg more boron than their routine diet for one month …
High dietary ω-6: ω-3 PUFA ratio is positively associated with excessive adiposity and waist circumference
Nutrition | BW, BFM, PBF, Protein | N Torres-Castillo et al. | 2018 | Mexico | Obesity Facts
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze dietary ω-6: ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio and its association with adiposity and serum adiponectin levels in a Mexican population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, individuals with a BMI≥ 18.5 kg/m 2, were classified using four methods to measure adiposity. Parameters of body composition were measured by InBody 3.0. Diet intake was evaluated prospectively using a 3-day written food record. Serum high-molecular weight adiponectin isoform was measured using an …
Effect of an individualised high-protein, energy-restricted diet on anthropometric and cardio-metabolic parameters in overweigh
Nutrition | BW, FFM, SMM, PBF | Mitra S R & Tan P Y | 2019 | Malaysia | British Journal of Nutrition
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Hipcref (high-protein, energy-restricted, high-vitamin E and high-fibre) diet in Malaysian adults on body composition and metabolic parameters after an intervention period of 6 months. Overweight/obese Malaysian adults (n 128; BMI≥ 23 kg/m2) were randomised to the Hipcref (n 65) or control diet (n 63). The intervention group received Hipcref diet charts based on their personal preferences. The control group followed a generalised dietary advice based on Malaysian Dietary …
Assessment of postoperative nutritional status and physical function between open surgical aortic valve replacement and transca
Nutrition | SMM, SMI, PBF, ECW/TBW | Sebe et al. | 2020 | Japan | The Journal of Medica Investigation
Background and aims: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) has been normally treated with surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) whereas recently, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced as a minimally invasive operation for patients with high surgical risk and frailty. In this study, we have evaluated postoperative physical function and nutrition intake in the patients following AVR and TAVI. Methods: This prospective observational study involved 9 patients with surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 7 patients with …
