Quality of Life in the Management of Home Parenteral Nutrition
Conclusion: QOL is a crucial and decisive aspect of HPN patient care. Symptoms related to the underlying disease and PN are frequent. Impaired soc ial life and an ambivalent attitude towards the life-saving therapy are major concerns for these patients and should be addressed in their care.

Interim Evaluation of Germany ’s Sugar Reduction Strategy for Soft Drinks: Commitments versus Actual Trends in Sugar Content and Sugar Sales from Soft Drinks
Conclusions: Reductions observed under Germany’s sugar reduction strategy fall short of stated targets and trends observed internationally under best practice conditions. Additional policy measures may be needed to support sugar reduction in soft drinks in Germany. (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Natural vitamin E supplementation during pregnancy in rats increases RRR- α-tocopherol stereoisomer proportion and enhances fetal antioxidant capacity, compared to synthetic vitamin E administration
Conclusions: Both natu ral and synthetic sources of vitamin E showed similar bioavailability. Still, NVE supplementation increased the proportion of RRR-αT and promoted higher antioxidant activity in fetal plasma at birth. Placental SR-B1 might be involved in the stereoselective transfer of RRR-αT stereoisomer across th e placenta and may improve αT bioactivity in the fetus. (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Twenty-four weeks of L-carnitine combined with leucine supplementation does not increase the muscle carnitine content in healthy active subjects
Conclusion: LC supplementation may have the potential to exert beneficial effects in muscle atrophy. Therefore, additional research is necessary to investigate the effect of various LC supplementation protocols. (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Influence of sleeve gastrectomy on skeletal muscular fat infiltration measured by MRI in patients with metabolic syndrome - preliminary results
Introduction: Several researchers focused on the role of skeletal muscle in metabolic problems in recent years. We aimed to evaluate influence of sleeve gastrectomy on skeletal muscular fat infiltration determined by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Methods: 65 MetS patients (male/female 20/45; mean age, 35.3 years ± 6.7 [standard deviation]; age range, 22 – 59 years) enrolled in our study. Prior to and one year after sleeve gastrectomy, patients underwent routine measurement of skeletal muscular fat concentration (denoted by proton density fat fraction, PDFF) and chemical indexes....

Total Energy Expenditure in Healthy Ambulatory Older Adults Aged ≥80 Years: A Doubly Labelled Water Study
Conclusions: In older adults ≥80 years, the Ikeda, Mifflin, and Livingston equations provide closer estimates of TEE than the widely used Schofield equation. The development of nutrition guidelines therefore should consider the utilization of equations which more accurately reflect age-specific requirements. (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

The relationship between skeletal muscle mass and bone mass at different sites in older adults
This study aims to explore the relationship between bone mass at different sites and skeletal muscle mass in older adults.
Methods: A total of 228 patients over 65 years old were enrolled in this study, then 180 valid participants with accessible Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scanning data and absence of malignant tumors, mobility disorders, serious liver and kidney disease, and cardiac insufficiency, were selected (138 male and 42 female). These individuals were further divided into control group and low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) group. DXA scanning was used to access skeletal muscle mass and bone mass. S...
