The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between micronutrient status and obesity, lipids, insulin resistance chronic inflammation in children. Weight, height, waist circumference body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)) were determined 197 school-aged Lipids, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein (CRP), zinc, iron vitamins A, C E analyzed blood. Vitamin vitamin E:lipids negatively associated with Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-to-height...
Abstract Background The prevalence of obesity among Mexican women is high and it could be related to micronutrient status. We evaluated in a cross-sectional study the associations zinc vitamins A, C E concentrations with BMI, central adiposity, body fat leptin concentration. Methods Women aged 37 ± 7.5 years (n = 580) from 6 rural communities Mexico were evaluated. Anthropometric measurements included weight, height, waist hip circumference. A fasting blood sample was taken for analysis...
Obesity is a major public health problem in many poor countries where micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent. A partial meal replacement may be an effective strategy to decrease obesity and increase intake such populations. The objective was evaluate the efficacy of with without inulin on weight reduction, blood lipids micronutrients obese Mexican women.In randomized controlled clinical trial 144 women (18-50 y) BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², were allocated into one following treatments during 3 months:...
Anemia continues to be a major public health problem among children in many regions of the world, and it is still not clear which strategy treat most effective. To evaluate efficacy children's acceptance several recognized strategies anemia. Non-breastfed (n = 577), 6 43 mo age, were screened for trial; 267 anemic (hemoglobin < 11.7 g/dL), 266 those randomized into 1 5 treatments received daily either: an iron supplement (IS), iron+folic acid (IFS), multiple micronutrient (MMS),...
The past decades have been characterized by a growing number of climatic anomalies. As these anomalies tend to occur suddenly and unexpectedly, it is often difficult procure empirical evidence their effects on natural populations. We analysed how the recent sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in northeastern Pacific Ocean affects body condition, nutritional status, immune competence California lion pups. found that pup condition blood glucose levels pups were lower during high SST events,...
Summary The aim of the present study was to evaluate associations between intestinal parasitic infection with and systemic inflammatory markers in school‐aged children high rates obesity. Plasma concentrations C‐Reactive Protein ( CRP ), leptin, TNF ‐α, IL ‐6 ‐10 were measured as inflammation count stool leukocytes marker 291 (6‐10 years). Intestinal by examination. Logistic regression analyses performed determine odds having for each parasite or group parasites compared parasite‐free while...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate synergic effect lycopene (LYC) treatment with a dietary control in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) model induced high-fat diet (HFD). Sprague-Dawley rats were fed during 4 weeks normal (ND·4w) or an HFD (HFD·4w) produce NAFLD model. Then, from ND·4w group continued same (ND·8w), and ND (HFD·4w+ND·4w) plus LYC (HFD·4w+ND+LYC·4w). (20 mg/kg) administered daily by gavage. ND+LYC diets partially reverted following alterations due HFD: weight,...
Obesity and depression are among the leading causes of disability in Mexico, but their association has not been explored yet. The aim current study was to investigate between obesity Mexican population. We used data from health nutrition survey (ENSANUT 2012), which is representative determined using body mass index (BMI) abdominal by measuring waist circumference. Depressive symptoms were reported Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Short-Form (CES-D-SF, scale 0–21)....
Honeybee pollen (HBP) chemical composition is highly variable conforming to the floral and geographical origin of grains. The beneficial effects functional properties HBP are well-known have been mainly attributed their high content antioxidant polyphenols. In this work, twelve HBPs samples from Southern region Chile (X Región de Los Lagos) were characterized for first time according botanical origin, phenolic composition, activity. in vitro gastrointestinal digestion assay was done simulate...
The main emphasis of dietary advice for control obesity has been on reducing fat. Increasing ready to eat cereal (RTEC) consumption could be a strategy reduce fat intake and increase carbohydrate resulting in diet with lower energy density.1. To determine if an RTEC is effective excess body weight blood lipids overweight or at risk children. 2. nutrition education program would make difference the response intake. 3) alone effect plasma lipid profile.One hundred forty seven children (6-12 y...
Childhood overweight and obesity are worldwide public health problems risk factors for chronic diseases. The presence of SNP in several genes has been associated with the obesity. A total 580 children (8-13 years old) from Queretaro, Mexico, participated this cross-sectional study, which evaluated associations rs9939609 (fat mass obesity-associated (FTO)), rs17782313 (melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R)) rs6548238 (transmembrane protein 18 (TMEM18)) metabolic factors. Overweight prevalence was...
