With the growing popularity of plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs), an examination their effects on health is warranted in Asian population. This research investigated impact consuming omnivorous animal-based diet (ABMD) compared to a PBMAs (PBMD) cardiometabolic among adults with elevated risk diabetes Singapore. In 8-week parallel design randomized controlled trial, participants (n=89) were instructed substitute habitual protein-rich foods fixed quantities either (n=44) or corresponding...
Poor sleep has been associated with the increased risk of developing detrimental health conditions. Diet and certain nutrients, such as dietary protein (PRO) may improve sleep. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate relationship between PRO intake, their amino acid components, sources quality in middle-aged older adults residing Singapore. A dataset 104 healthy subjects age 50 75 years old were used. Collected data included 3-day food record [sleep duration, global score (GSS),...
Incorporating zeaxanthin-rich wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) into a healthy dietary pattern may augment its antioxidant potential. The present 16-week, parallel design randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the impact of adhering pattern, either with or without whole dried (15 g/d) on oxidative stress status (plasma malondialdehyde and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α) in middle-aged older adults. Changes carotenoids skin carotenoids) body composition were further evaluated explore potential...
Summary This work evaluated the potential of three commercial non‐ Saccharomyces yeast strains Torulaspora delbrueckii (Biodiva and Prelude) Lachancea thermotolerans (Concerto) for beer fermentation. The fermentation performance, volatile non‐volatile profiles were compared. Growth behaviours all exhibited similar trends during initial phase although a marked population decline was detected in Prelude Concerto, which also showed rapid utilisation maltose, while strain Biodiva unable to...
Background Long-term wolfberry intake as part of a healthy dietary pattern was recognized to have beneficial vascular outcomes. Characterization the plasma lipidome may further provide comprehensive insights into pathways underlying these cardiovascular protective effects. Objective We analyzed subjects who adhered either with or without and investigated associations between lipidomic profile health-related indicators. Methods In this 16-week, parallel design, randomized controlled trial,...
Abstract Skin carotenoid status (SCS) measured by resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) may serve as an emerging alternative measurement for dietary carotenoid, fruit and vegetable (FV) intake although its application had not been assessed in a middle-aged older population Asia. This cross-sectional study aims to concurrently examine the use of SCS plasma carotenoids measure FV population, taking into consideration potential socio-demographic nutritional confounders. The recruited 103 adults...
Blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) have received growing attention in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the effect of diet intervention, a primary strategy for CVD prevention, on BOECs is not reported. This study aims investigate following healthy dietary pattern (HDP) with or without wolfberry consumption, food potential benefits, number and function middle-aged older adults. Twenty-four subjects consumed either an HDP only (n = 9) supplemented 15 g day-1 wolfberries...
The study aimed to examine the associations between skin carotenoid status and plasma carotenoids with classical cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among a middle-aged older Singaporean population. It was hypothesized that could be used as an indicator for CVD risk. This cross-sectional recruited 45 men 59 women, aged 50 75 years, from community in Singapore (n = 104). Dietary information obtained using 3-day food records, measured resonance Raman spectroscopy were analyzed...
