The gut microbiota refers to the trillions of microorganisms residing in intestine and is integral multiple physiological processes host. Recent research has shown that bacteria play a role metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. mechanisms by which affects diseases are two major routes: (1) innate immune response structural components (e.g., lipopolysaccharide) resulting inflammation (2) bacterial metabolites dietary compounds SCFA from fiber), have...
Strategies to enhance weight loss with a high fat-to-lean ratio in overweight/obese older adults are important since lean could exacerbate sarcopenia. We examined how dietary protein distribution affected muscle synthesis during energy balance (EB), restriction (ER), and plus resistance training (ER + RT). A 4-wk ER diet was provided men (66 ± 4 yr, 31 5 kg/m 2 ) who were randomized either balanced (BAL: 25% daily protein/meal × 4) or skewed (SKEW: 7:17:72:4% protein/meal; n = 10/group)...
Scientific advancements in understanding the impact of bioactive components foods on gut microbiota and wider physiology create opportunities for designing targeted functional foods. The selection ingredients with potential local or systemic effects holds promise influencing overall well-being. An abundance studies demonstrate that show compositional changes correlate age disease. However, navigating this field, especially non-experts, remains challenging, given varying levels scientific...
ABSTRACT: A fundamental understanding regarding postprandial glycemic responses to foods containing whole yellow‐pea flour (WYPF) remains unknown. This, alongside concerns that WYPF possesses unfavorable sensory characteristics has limited the incorporation of into new functional food products as a healthy novel ingredient. The objective this study was evaluate how modulates well in foods. In single‐blind crossover trial, present assessed banana bread, biscotti, and spaghetti either or wheat...
Key points Strategies to enhance the loss of fat while preserving muscle mass during energy restriction are great importance prevent sarcopenia in overweight older adults. We show for first time that integrated rate synthesis numerous individual contractile, cytosolic and mitochondrial skeletal proteins was increased by resistance training (RT) unaffected dietary protein intake pattern free‐living, obese men. observed a correlation between synthetic rates muscle‐derived obtained serum...
Infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) impact the early later health status of population. Limited data is available regarding IYCF in United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study aimed to evaluate nutritional adequacy practices, energy, food, nutrient intakes UAE infants toddlers ages 0-23.9 months.
Very few data are available on what should be considered a normal frequency-volume chart. To establish baseline figures we studied the voiding diaries of 33 women. A computer program was developed using 12 parameters. pattern established for young and middle-aged These may used as reference when analysing charts patients with dysfunction.
Policosanols (PC) exist as very-long-chain alcohols derived from sugarcane currently used in many countries a cholesterol-lowering therapy. PC purity and relative percentage composition have been suggested primary reasons why the original Cuban (OPC) supplements possess lipid-lowering efficacy. The purpose of present study was, first, to compare both OPC alternative sources (APC). A second objective was feed Syrian hamsters diet containing 0·275 mg PC/g either or an APC product (APC1)...
The transition from a predominantly milk-based diet to diverse family is window of opportunity for optimal child growth and development.
We estimated the usual intakes of fiber, iron, zinc, calcium, folate, vitamin D, and A top foods that contribute to them among children in UAE. Dietary intake was assessed using 24 h recalls 5 age groups infants children. Foods were clustered into 54 food ranked by their percentage contribution nutrients interest this study. The achieving adequate (AI) fiber negligible all source vegetables under 4 years, white breads those over years. Only 45% achieved iron adequacy, but standards met most...
This study aims at investigating the anthropometric status and food consumption patterns of children in United Arab Emirates (UAE) assessing their adherence to nutrient dietary recommendations. It is a population-based cross-sectional survey 690 (4–12.9 years), from 3 major Emirates. Socio-demographic characteristics were collected. Dietary intakes assessed using 24-hour recall approach. Of total sample, 4% stunted, 8% wasted 28% overweight/obese. A third participating consumed above...
