The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been recommended for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment. impact of in shaping the gut microbiota is well known, particularly MD. However, link between MD and outcome improvement not completely clear. This study aims to evaluate role modulation by a nonpharmacological intervention patients with T2D. In this 12-week single-arm pilot study, nine participants received individual nutritional counseling sessions promoting Gut microbiota, biochemical parameters, body...
Adiponectin/leptin ratio, triacylglycerols, and waist-to-hip ratio explained almost half of HOMA-IR variance in the context obesity. This study provides evidence to support adipose tissue dysfunction as a central feature pathophysiology obesity insulin resistance. Early identification individuals at higher risk developing metabolic complications through assessment staging its transient phenotypes can contribute improve therapeutic decision-making.
Gut microbiota modulation might constitute a mechanism mediating the effects of beer on health. In this randomized, double-blinded, two-arm parallel trial, 22 healthy men were recruited to drink 330 mL nonalcoholic (0.0% v/v) or alcoholic (5.2% daily during 4-week follow-up period. Blood and faecal samples collected before after intervention was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Drinking for 4 weeks did not increase body weight fat mass changed significantly serum cardiometabolic...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) is a tryptophan-derived microbial metabolite that has been associated with protective effects against inflammatory and metabolic diseases.However, there lack of knowledge regarding the IPA under physiological conditions at intestinal level.MATERIALS/METHODS: Human epithelial Caco-2 cells were treated for 2, 24, and/ or 72 h its precursors -indole, tryptophan, propionate -at 1, 10, 100, 250, 500 μM to assess cell viability, integrity,...
The FEEDMI Study (NCT03663556) evaluated the influence of infant feeding (mother's own milk (MOM), donor human (DHM) and formula) on fecal microbiota composition alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in extremely very preterm infants (≤32 gestational weeks). In this observational study, were recruited within first 24 h after birth. Meconium samples collected at four time points (between 2nd 26th postnatal days. Fecal was analyzed by RT-PCR 16S rRNA sequencing. ALP activity, a proposed specific...
Abstract Background Subjects with obesity exhibit changes in gut microbiota composition and function (i.e. dysbiosis) that contribute to metabolic dysfunction, including appetite impairment. Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for a great impact on weight loss, some subjects show regain due increased energy intake after the surgery. This involves promote control, but it seems insufficient completely restore obesity-associated dysbiosis — possible contributor regain. Thus,...
Introduction Empowerment lifestyle programs are needed to reduce the risk of hypertension. Our study compared effectiveness two empowerment-based approaches toward blood pressure (BP) reduction: salt reduction-specific program vs. healthy general program. Methods Three hundred and eleven adults (median age 44 years, IQR 34–54 years) were randomly assigned a reduction ( n = 147) or 164). The outcome measures urinary sodium (Na + ) potassium (K excretion, systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP)...
Although elevated blood levels of trimethylamine N -oxide (TMAO) have been associated with atherosclerosis development in humans, the role its gut microbiota-derived precursor, TMA, this process has not yet deciphered. Taking into account, and fact that increased intestinal fatty acid absorption contributes to onset progression, study aimed evaluate effect TMA on a cell line mimics human enterocytes. Caco-2 cells were treated 250 μM for 24 h. Fatty was assessed by measuring...
Objective: Salt restriction and potassium (K) intake can lower blood pressure (BP) reduce the risk for cardiovascular (CV) diseases. However, it is still unclear which approaches are most effective in changing diet behavior. We evaluated impact of two education prevention programs promoting healthy eating habits general population. Design method: A total 311 adults (20–70 years) responsible acquiring making their meals were randomly assigned to one 2 multi-component educational (intervention...
