Chronic kidney disease (CKD) subjects suffer from high risk of cardiovascular mortality, and any intervention preventing the progression CKD may have an enormous impact on public health. In last decade, there has been growing awareness that gut microbiota (GM) can play a pivotal role in controlling pathogenesis systemic inflammatory state progression. To ameliorate quality life subjects, use dietary supplements increased over time. Among those, curcumin demonstrated significant vitro...
During chronic kidney disease (CKD), typical alterations in the gut microbiota are observed. The no longer plays role of main excretory organ as this function is performed by intestine. In CKD patients, an alteration intestinal permeability and a degradation protective mucous layer These changes barrier allow passage bacterial material from intestine to bloodstream through wall. This phenomenon contributes induction inflammatory state, CKD. nephropathic there increase circulation p-cresyl...
The normal-weight obese (NWO) syndrome was identified in women whose body weight (BW) and BMI are normal but fat mass (FM) is >30%. In these subjects, an early inflammatory status has been demonstrated. aim to verify whether oxidative stress occurs NWO. Sixty age-matched white Italian were studied subdivided as follows: 20 individuals (NW) (BMI <25 kg/m(2); FM% <30%); NWO >30%); preobese-obese (OB) >25 >30%). Anthropometric, composition (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) variables, plasma...

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine associated with psoriasis pathogenesis. Anti-TNF-α therapies are effective in psoriasis. A significant weight gain has been reported patients treated anti-TNF-α agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate body composition changes psoriatic receiving according disease phenotype. Forty affected were followed up for 24 weeks and divided into two groups: vulgaris (PsO) arthritis (PsA). Anthropometric, blood biochemical,...
