The consumption of low glycemic index (LGI) foods before exercise results in slower and more stable increases. Besides maintaining an adequate supply energy during exercise, this response may favor increase fat oxidation the postprandial period compared to high (HGI) foods. majority studies that evaluated effect differing on substrate are acute which a single meal is consumed right exercise. purpose study was investigate consuming two daily HGI or LGI meals for five consecutive days...
The influence of diet on metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress are not completely known. This cross-sectional study assessed the association red meat white consumption with syndrome, insulin resistance lipid peroxidation in Brazilian middle-aged men. A total 296 subjects (age: 50.5 ± 5.0 years, body mass index: 25.8 3.5 kg/m2) were evaluated. Anthropometry, lifestyle features, blood biochemical parameters, diagnosis homeostatic model assessment for resistance, a marker (oxidized...
The present cross-sectional study assessed the potential relationships of carotenoid intake with lipid and oxidative stress markers in middle-aged men. A total 296 apparently healthy men (mean age 50·5 ( sd 5·0) years, BMI 25·8 3·5) kg/m 2 ) were recruited to participate study. Dietary intake, anthropometry, blood pressure, lifestyle features, urine biomarkers using validated procedures. included NEFA, Castelli index, TAG:HDL ratio; urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-iso-PGF2α...
To assess the potential associations of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) consumption with central obesity (CObesity) and cardiometabolic risk factors in a population Brazilian middle-aged men. Special attention was given to leucine intake.
Low-cost practical and reliable tools to evaluated obesity-related cardiometabolic diseases are of clinical practice public heath relevance worldwide. The aims this cross-sectional study were determine the anatomical point waist circumference that best identify overweight, obesity central in Southeast Brazilian middle-aged men test relationships its cutoff points with metabolic syndrome (MetS), insulin resistance (IR) risk factors. Three hundred [age: 51 (47–54)] underwent anthropometric,...
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association dietary patterns (DP) with maternal adiposity indicators, leptin, adiponectin and insulin concentrations during pregnancy. A prospective cohort pregnant women followed up at 5th–13th, 20th –26th 30th–36th gestational weeks 30–40 d postpartum conducted in Rio de Janeiro. FFQ administered third trimester (30th–36th weeks). reduced rank regression procedure used identify DP that explain response variables (dietary fibre total fat)...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association of vitamin D status with glycaemia, insulin, homoeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, adiponectin and leptin. A prospective cohort 181 healthy, pregnant Brazilian women was followed at 5th–13th, 20th–26th 30th–36th gestational weeks. In this cohort, 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) plasma concentrations were analysed using liquid chromatography–tandem MS. Vitamin categorised as sufficient or insufficient Endocrine Society...
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a common oral inflammation, which risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Intakes of vitamin D and calcium are inversely associated with occurrence progression periodontitis. This study aims to assess the feasibility multi-component intervention, including provision milk powder supplemented periodontal therapy (PT), improving maternal health metabolic inflammatory profiles low-income Brazilian pregnant women Methods The IMPROVE trial randomised...
com idades variando de 15 a 77 anos.O procedimento experimental empregado correspondeu ao da técnica observacional por questionário simples.Resultados: Um total 82,2% dos sujeitos realiza algum tipo desjejum pré-exercício.Entre os alimentos mais consumidos, estão frutas (55,2%), pão (72,4%), café (51,5%), leite achocolatado (38,68%) e frios (36%).A maior parte entrevistados (66,6%) acredita fazer uma escolha correta alimentos; contudo foi registrado
This study aimed to explore the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and longitudinal changes in inflammatory markers from second trimester of pregnancy 6-8 weeks postpartum women with periodontitis. is a secondary exploratory analysis 68 who took part feasibility clinical trial Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Inflammatory included C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) blood concentrations at 11-22 (T0) 30-36 gestational (T1),...
Hyperuricemia is related to Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases, but the use of serum uric acid (UA) diagnose MetS currently ignored in clinical practices.To examine impact UA on diagnostic relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors apparently healthy Brazilian middle-aged men residents a city Minas Gerais.In cross-sectional analysis, 289 underwent anthropometric, clinical, sociodemographic blood biochemical evaluation. By using receive operating curve internal cutoff...
The aims of this cross-sectional study were to explore the ability serum interleukin 18 (IL-18) and adiponectin identify metabolic syndrome (MetS), verify their association with an index central lipid overaccumulation (lipid accumulation product (LAP)) cardiometabolic risk factors in a population middle-aged Brazilian men. A group 218 apparently healthy men (age, 50.3 ± 4.97 years) underwent anthropometric, clinical, sociodemographic, standard biochemical assessments. LAP was calculated...
In this 2 × factorial, outcome-assessor blinded, feasibility randomised trial we explored the effect of a non-pharmaceutical multi-component intervention on periodontal health and metabolic inflammatory profiles among pregnant women with periodontitis receiving prenatal care in Brazilian public centre. 69 (gestational age ≤20 weeks, T0) were randomly allocated into four groups: (1) fortified sachet (vitamin D calcium) powdered milk plus therapy during pregnancy (early PT) (n = 17); (2)...
There are difficulties in carrying out research low-income urban communities, but the methodological challenges and suggestions on how to deal with them often undocumented. The aims of this study describe recruiting enrolling pregnant women periodontitis a clinical trial vitamin D/calcium milk fortification periodontal therapy also patient-, protocol- setting-related factors related women's ineligibility refusal participate study.A mixed-method sequential exploratory design was applied....
This study aims to assess the acceptability, adherence, and retention of a feasibility trial on milk fortification with calcium vitamin D (Ca + VitD) periodontal therapy (PT) among low income Brazilian pregnant women periodontitis (IMPROVE trial). 2 × factorial used mixed-methods evaluation. In total, 69 were randomly allocated four groups: 1. fortified sachet Ca+VitD plus early PT (throughout gestation); 2. placebo PT; 3. late after childbirth; 4. PT. Data collected via questionnaires,...
The effects of dietary glycemic load (GL) on cardiometabolic risk factors in physically active subjects are not completely known.This cross-sectional study assessed the association habitual GL with Brazilian middle-aged men.One-hundred seventy-six (Age: 50.6 ± 5.0 years, BMI: 25.5 3.6 kg/m2) were evaluated. Anthropometry, lifestyle features, insulin resistance, oxidative stress biomarkers (8-iso-prostaglandin F2α; 8-iso-PGF2α and 8- hydroxydeoxyguanosine; 8-OHdG) lipid profile assessed....
O objetivo desta revisão foi apresentar e discutir a influência do exercício físico nas concentrações sanguíneas de adiponectina associação com sensibilidade insulínica. Estudos realizados nos últimos 10 anos mostram que o agudo, intensidade alta, provoca redução adiponectina, sem alterar as insulina. Porém, exercícios agudos moderada não alteram apesar proporcionar melhoria na crônico, por sua vez, aumenta os níveis sanguíneos melhora insulínica, mas altera composição corporal em indivíduos...
