Therapeutic role of low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet in diabetesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Introduction: Changes in dietary habits influence the glycemic level. Preliminary studies using the low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) were found to be quite promising in controlling diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to investigate the therapeutic effects of LCKD in experimental diabetic rats following the administration of streptozotocin (STZ).Materials and methods: Adult rats were divided into three groups: normal diet, LCKD, and high-carbohydrate diet. Each group was subdivided into normal, sham, and diabetic groups. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of...

Influence of dietary resveratrol on early and late molecular markers of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine–induced colon carcinogenesisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The results clearly indicate that chronic Res supplementation inhibited the colon cancer development through modulating the early and late events of carcinogenesis and helped to maintain the colonic mucosal integrity. Thus our study demonstrates that the chemopreventive efficacy of Res could be attributed to its action on multiple direct targets of carcinogenesis. (Source: Nutrition)

High-protein diet promotes a moderate postpartum weight loss in a prospective cohort of Brazilian womenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Objective: Whether a high-protein (HP) diet promotes body weight loss (BWL) when compared with a low-protein (LP) diet is still unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of an HP diet on BWL during postpartum.Methods: A food-frequency questionnaire with 81 items was applied at 6 mo after delivery to evaluate the diet of 430 postpartum women aged 18–45 y. Body weight was measured approximately at 0.5, 2, 6, and 9 mo after delivery. Body weight loss was modeled by comparing an HP diet (≥1.2g · kg−1 · d−1) with an LP diet ( (Source: Nutrition)

The essence of chocolate: A rich, dark, and well-kept secretEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cocoa beans, the fermented ground seeds from the fruit of Theobroma cacao, the chocolate tree, have been employed as an ingredient in comestibles for the last 3.4 millennia. Ancient urns containing traces of the signature molecule, theobromine, from archeological digs in the Ulua Valley, now Honduras, suggest that cacao has been part of the human diet for at least 113 generations . Yet, despite a history transcending Olmec, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations and more than 150 yr of contemporary chocolate-making, a certain mystique still surrounds the effects of chocolate on the mind and body. Indeed, the history of chocolate i...

Chocolate and medicine: Dangerous liaisons?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: According to ancient Mayan texts, cocoa is of divine origin and is considered a gift from the gods. In the Classic period of Mayan civilization (250–900 a.d.), ground cocoa seeds were mixed with seasonings to make a bitter, spicy drink that was believed to be a health-promoting elixir. The Aztecs believed that cocoa pods symbolized life and fertility, and that eating the fruit of the cocoa tree allowed them to acquire wisdom and power. Cocoa was said to have nourishing, fortifying, and aphrodisiac qualities. Pre-Columbian societies were known to use chocolate as medicine, too. The appreciation and popularity of...

Severe hypertriglyceridemia complicating pregnancy, management by dietary intervention and ω-3 fatty acid supplementationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy can lead to potentially fatal pancreatitis and maternal deaths have been described. The paper in Nutrition by Takahashi describes the management of a patient with severe hypertriglyceridemia and chylomicronemia during pregnancy. Interestingly, the patient was treated “conservatively” with a dietary lipid control enhanced with ω-3 fatty acids. This is not a novel approach. Kulkarni et al. also reported that careful dietary supervision and supplementation with ω-3 fatty acids could be used to successfully treat severe hypertriglyceridemia of pregnancy. Watts et al. had also reported ...

Abstract: Objective: The blood glucose responses elicited by foods are often determined using blood samples taken at 15-min intervals. Our objective was to see whether taking blood samples at 10-min intervals affected the results.Methods: Overnight-fasted healthy subjects (n=11) were studied on nine different occasions with seven different test meals. Blood samples were obtained at fasting and at 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 90, and 120min after starting to eat. Peak rise, incremental area under the curve, and relative glycemic response were calculated using the 10- and 15-min sampling schedules.Results: With 10-min int...

Abstract: Apart from the air we breathe, food is the only physical matter we take into our body during our life. Nutrition exhibits therefore the most important life-long environmental impact on human health. Food components interact with our body at system, organ, cellular, and molecular levels. These dietary components come in complex mixtures, in which not only the presence and concentrations of a single compound but also interactions of multiple compounds determine ingredient bioavailability and bioefficacy. Modern nutritional and health research focuses on promoting health, preventing or delaying the onset of disease,...

Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of curcumin in cultured cells and animal models of human diseases. However, a full appreciation of the antioxidant , anti-inflammatory , antifibrotic , and antiangiogenic activities of curcumin is hindered by inadequate means of delivery and reduced bioavailability . For in vitro and in vivo studies, curcumin has been solubilized in an organic solvent (such as dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO] ), emulsified by using carboxymethyl cellulose , or solubilized in an alkaline solution . In addition, curcumin has been added to animal diets . An important issue certainly seems to be that d...

DNA-driven nutritional therapy of inflammatory bowel diseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of two main disorders, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, that cause chronic, recurrent inflammation of the intestine. An inappropriate immune response to the enteric ecosystem has been postulated to cause IBD. Genomewide association studies provide the information of diverse genetic variations and susceptibilities to patients with IBD. Through the application of these studies, the pathogenesis of IBD may result in part from genetic abnormalities that regulate epithelial barrier function and innate and adaptive immune responses. Crohn's disease shows strong associati...

A novel function of intestinal gluconeogenesis: Central signaling in glucose and energy homeostasisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: The gut can contribute to the control of glucose homeostasis by its high glycolytic capacity and a recently described function, gluconeogenesis. In addition to its quantitative role in endogenous glucose production, a qualitative role of central signaling was recently described for intestinal gluconeogenesis. Relating to the control of energy homeostasis, intestinal gluconeogenesis, by its detection by a hepatoportal glucose sensor, is able to generate a central signal promoting a decrease in food intake. This mechanism may contribute to the well-known satiety effect initiated by food protein. In relation to the ...

Abstract: Objective: Epidemiologic studies support an association between diet and the incidence of colorectal cancer. Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid present in dietary fiber and dairy products, is a potential anticarcinogenic compound.

In the present study, we evaluated the effects of butyrate alone and in combination with carnitine on colon cancer cells in vitro, examining proliferation and apoptosis and the molecular mechanisms by which these nutrients may inhibit colon cancer.Methods: Caco-2 cells, a well-established cell model...
