OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the value attenuation imaging (ATI), a novel ultrasound technique for detection steatosis, by comparing results that obtained with controlled parameter (CAP) and using MRI-derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) as reference standard. METHODS: From March November 2018, 114 consecutive adult subjects potentially at risk steatosis 15 healthy controls were enrolled. Each subject underwent ATI CAP assessment on same day. MRI-PDFF...
Objectives The main aim was to assess the performance and cutoff value for detection of liver steatosis (grade S > 0) with Attenuation Imaging–Penetration (ATI‐Pen) algorithm available on Aplio i‐series ultrasound systems (Canon Medical Systems, Otawara, Japan). magnetic resonance imaging–derived proton density fat fraction (MRI‐PDFF) used as reference standard. Secondary aims were compare results those obtained previous ATI (Attenuation Imaging–General [ATI‐Gen]) controlled attenuation...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia is a disease associated with aging and negative prognosis. Consensus‐based treatment consists in targeting muscle mass function through physical exercise, optimization of protein intake, vitamin D supplementation, but evidence lacking. We evaluated the safety efficacy muscle‐targeted nutritional support on outcome exercise rehabilitation programme. Methods In single‐site, double‐blind, randomized, controlled trial (NCT03120026; May 2017 to December 2018), old...
Background . The main criticism of the definition “osteosarcopenic obesity” (OSO) is lack division between subcutaneous and visceral fat. This study describes prevalence, metabolic profile, risk factors two new phenotypes sarcopenia: osteosarcopenic obesity (OSVAT) (OSSAT). Methods A standardized geriatric assessment was performed by anthropometric biochemical measures. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) used to assess body composition, adipose tissue (VAT), (SAT), osteoporosis,...
In animals it has been demonstrated that Saccharomyces boulardii and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) decrease low-grade inflammation S. can also adiposity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect a 60-day SOD supplementation on circulating markers inflammation, body composition, hunger sensation, pro/antioxidant ratio, hormonal, lipid profile, glucose, insulin HOMA-IR, in obese adults (BMI 30–35 kg/m2). Twenty-five were randomly assigned intervention (8/4 women/men, 57 ± 8 years) or...
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a condition that precedes diabetes and increases the risk of developing it. Studies support hypoglycemic effect Cynarascolymus (Cs) extracts due to content chlorogenic acid, which potent inhibitor 6-phosphate translocase dicaffeoylquinic acid derivatives modulate activity alpha-glucosidase. Given this background, we investigated whether new highly standardized Cs extract could improve glycemic control, insulin sensitivity other metabolic parameters (total...
To evaluate the efficacy of a new food-grade lecithin formulation standardized extracts Zingiber officinale and Acmella oleracea on pain inflammation.Pilot study with one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design in which 50 subjects moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) (mean age: 62.46±8.45) were supplied for four weeks two tablets/day.Primary outcomes 1) evaluation intensity, by 30-day visual analogue scale (VAS) 2) assessment function WOMAC (Western Ontario McMaster Universities...
The aim of this study is to characterise the rice germ from nutritional point view. latest laboratory methods for evaluation macronutrients and micronutrients have been used. Rice has a high protein content (18 g per 100 edible product) with considerable amounts essential amino acids (mainly lysine, histidine valine), fatty monounsaturated polyunsaturated acids), fibre (7 g). Regarding water-soluble vitamins, thiamine (B1) vitamin B6, while E main fat-soluble present. Iron (77% RDA)...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in world and characterized by pain, various disabilities loss quality life. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) recommended as first-line therapy. CS non-animal origin great interest for safety sustainability reasons. This study aims to investigate anti-inflammatory effects, anti-pain ability-enhancement a short-term supplementation with overweight subjects OA. In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, 60 adults symptomatic OA...
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a VLCKD combined with omega-3 supplementation (VLCKD diet only lasted for some weeks, and it was followed by non-ketogenic LCD rest period) on body composition, visceral fat, satiety hormones, inflammatory metabolic markers.
