... The antiobesity effect of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (DMF) was evaluated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese C57BL/6J mice. The accumulation of lipid droplets and triglycerides in adipocytes was dose dependently suppressed by DMF through inhibition of adipogenesis. DMF downregulated the adipogenic transcription factors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [PPAR]γ, CCAAT/enh ...
... Chronobiological disruptions, including shift work, have been linked to a number of disorders such as fatigue and diabetes. Additionally, there is evidence to support that exercise cannot only counteract fatigue and the onset of diabetes, but also alleviate the other negative symptoms associated with shift work. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of wheel running and monthly 6-h ...

Abstract:
... Recent evidence has suggested that the Korean horn beetle (Allomyrina dichotoma) has anti-hepatofibrotic, anti-neoplastic, and antibiotic effects and is recognized as a traditional medicine. In our previous works, Allomyrina dichotoma larvae (ADL) inhibited differentiation of adipocytes both in vitro and in vivo. However, the anorexigenic and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress-reducing effects of AD ...

Abstract:
... The United States is the largest refugee resettlement country in the world. Refugees may face health-related challenges after resettlement in the United States, including higher rates of chronic diseases due to problems such as language barriers and difficulty adapting to new food environments. However, reported refugee diet challenges varied, and no systematic examination has been reported. This ...

Abstract:
... Semicontinuous data in the form of a mixture of a large portion of zero values and continuously distributed positive values frequently arise in many areas of biostatistics. This article is motivated by the analysis of relationships between disease outcomes and intakes of episodically consumed dietary components. An important aspect of studies in nutritional epidemiology is that true diet is unobse ...

Abstract:
... This comparative study aims to examine dental lesions of three skeletal populations from Late Bronze Age North China to examine relationships between subsistence patterns and oral health in the past. The skeletal remains represent a unique series of ancient human populations who adopted different subsistence practices: Chenjiagou (ca. 3000–2200 BP) from Henan, Central China, representing an intens ...

Abstract:
... This study compared a behavioral weight loss program (BWL) with a stress management-based program, Emotional Brain Training (EBT), on weight loss, blood pressure, depression, perceived stress, diet, and physical activity.Subjects with a body mass index (BMI) of >28 and <45 kg/m² were recruited in Lexington, Kentucky in January 2014 and randomized to BWL or EBT for a 20-week intervention. Of those ...

Abstract:
... Arsenic (As), particularly of its inorganic form (iAs) is highly toxic, and its presence in food composites is a matter of concern for the public health safety, specifically in Bangladesh which is regarded as the most arsenic affected country throughout the world. This study was carried out to investigate the levels of As in the composite samples of commonly consumed foodstuffs collected from 30 d ...

Abstract:
... Cobalamin C (cblC) deficiency impairs the biosynthesis of 5′-deoxyadenosyl-adenosyl- and methyl-cobalamin, resulting in methylmalonic acidemia combined with hyperhomocysteinemia and hypomethioninemia. However, some patients with cblC deficiency are treated with medical foods, devoid of methionine and high in leucine content, that are formulated for patients with isolated propionate oxidative defec ...
... The current meta-analysis evaluated the association between vitamin B₁₂ intake and blood vitamin B₁₂ level and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched. A dose–response analysis was performed with generalized least squares regression, with the relative risk (RR) and 95 % CI as effect values. The meta-analysis included seventeen studies. A total of 10 601 patients ...

Abstract:
... For the first time in South America, a four-year survey (2011–2014) was conducted to assess the occurrence of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) in different raw meats (bovine, pork, ovine, chicken, and turkey) sampled from ten of the fifteen regions of Chile.

Abstract:
... The combined association of dietary fat, glycaemic index (GI) and fibre with type 2 diabetes has rarely been investigated. The objective was to examine the relationship between a high-fat, high-GI, low-fibre dietary pattern across adult life and type 2 diabetes risk using reduced rank regression. Data were from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development. Repeated measures of dietary intake ...

Abstract:
... Visceral adiposity index (VAI), an indicator of visceral adiposity, has been found to be associated with cardiometabolic disturbances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The association of dietary intakes with VAI, and subsequently cardiometabolic variables is still unclear. The aims of this study were to identify a dietary pattern associated with VAI and to investigate whether this pa ...
... AIM: This study assessed the accuracy (including sources and reasons for errors) and adequacy (of patients’ intakes relative to requirements) among patients prescribed therapeutic diets in the hospital setting. METHODS: This observational study was conducted across six wards in a metropolitan tertiary hospital over 14 consecutive days. Meal accuracy was assessed by comparing each individual food o ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Average population dietary intakes do not reflect the wide diversity of dietary patterns across the population. It is recognised that most people in the UK do not meet dietary recommendations and have diets with a high environmental impact, but changing dietary habits has proved very difficult. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diversity in dietary changes needed to achi ...

Abstract:
... A nutrient dilution effect of diets high in added sugar has been reported in some older populations, but the evidence is inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between added sugar intakes (according to recommended guidelines) and nutrient intake, food consumption, and body mass index (BMI).A cross-sectional analysis of data collected between 2007 and 2009 from parti ...
... Earlier studies have shown a protective association between adherence to healthy eating guidelines and mental disorders in Western nations; however, data in this regard are limited from the understudied region of Middle East. We examined the association between adherence to healthy eating guidelines, as measured by Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010, and prevalence of anxiety and depress ...
... Few studies have examined the association between adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) or Mediterranean (MED) diets and prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the two diets and GDM.In a case–control hospital-based study, pregnant women with (n = 200) and without (n = 260) GMD were recruited. ...
... Little is known about adolescents’ non-core food intake in the UK and the eating context in which they consume non-core foods. The present study aimed to describe types of non-core foods consumed by British adolescents in total and across different eating contexts. A descriptive analysis, using cross-sectional data from food diaries. Non-core foods were classified based on cut-off points of fat an ...
