- 1From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by peripheral insulin resistance, is the most common form of diabetes. Probiotics are live micro-organisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer...
- 2From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Dietary strategies seem to be the most prescribed therapy in order to counteract obesity regarding not only calorie restriction, but also bioactive ingredients and the composition of the consumed foods....
- 3From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Lower serum total (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterols (LDL-C) have been linked to an increased risk of cancer in various sites, but its underlying mechanism...
- 4From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Phenolic compounds combine antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic activities and, consequently, are expected to prevent or minimize cardiometabolic risk. Methods To evaluate the effect of an aqueous...
- 5From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Monomethylsilanetriol (MMST) has been used for decades as an oral silicon supplement for bone and connective tissue health, although there are no formal data on its in vivo utilisation or safety following...
- 6From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSilicon (Si) is the most abundant element present in the Earth's crust besides oxygen. However, the exact biological roles of silicon remain unknown. Moreover, the ortho-silicic acid (H.sub.4SiO.sub.4), as a major form...
- 7From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that carnitine supplementation counteracts obesity-induced muscle fiber transition from type I to type II. Methods 24 obese Zucker rats were randomly...
- 8From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEpidemiological studies indicate that the consumption of fructose-containing caloric sweeteners (FCCS: mainly sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) is associated with obesity. The hypothesis that FCCS plays a causal...
- 9From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mixing a small proportion, 10%, of retinoic acid (RA) into an oral dose of vitamin A (VA) has been shown to markedly increase retinol uptake and retinyl ester (RE) formation in the neonatal lung, as...
- 10From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently appear iron deplete but whether this is a reflection of dietary iron intakes is not known. Methods Dietary data were collected from 29...
- 11From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Metabolic syndrome has become a major public health concern, but the role of diet in the etiology of this syndrome is not well understood. This study investigated the association between major dietary...
- 12From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cisplatin, one of the most effective and potent anticancer drugs, is used in the treatment of a wide variety of both pediatric and adult malignancies. However, the chemotherapeutic use of cisplatin is...
- 13From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Our prior study revealed the loss in short-term L-Arginine (ARG) therapeutic efficacy after continuous exposure; resulting in tolerance development, mediated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)...
- 14From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWhether dietary fructose (as sucrose or high fructose corn syrup) has unique effects separate from its role as carbohydrate, or, in fact, whether it can be considered inherently harmful, even a toxin, has assumed...
- 15From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedResearch in the last decade has revolutionized the way in which we view mitochondria. Mitochondria are no longer viewed solely as cellular powerhouses; rather, mitochondria are now understood to be vibrant, mobile...
- 16From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedHealth benefits of Kochujang (KCJ) and its bioactive compounds have been reported in several in vitro and animal studies. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of KCJ supplementation on...
- 17From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations associate with skeletal muscle weakness (i.e., deficit in skeletal muscle strength) after muscular injury or damage. Although supplemental vitamin D...
- 18From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground It is increasingly being realized that failure of pancreatic beta cells to secrete enough insulin to adequately compensate for obesity and insulin resistance is the primary defects of type 2 diabetes...
- 19From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEpidemiological evidence shows that consumption of dairy products is associated with decreased prevalence of metabolic related disorders, whilst evidence from experimental studies points towards dairy protein as a...
- 20From: Nutrition & Metabolism. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Disorders such as the metabolic syndrome (MetS), impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, are associated with increased risk of cognitive decline. Also several of the individual key features that define...
