Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of weight loss during a very low carbohydrate diet on specific adipose tissue depots and insulin sensitivity in older adults with obesity: a randomized clinical trial.
Amy M. Goss,Barbara A. Gower,Taraneh Soleymani,Mariah Stewart,May Pendergrass,Mark E. Lockhart,Olivia M. Krantz,Shima Dowla,Nikki C. Bush,Valene Garr Barry,Kevin R. Fontaine +10 more
TL;DR: Weight loss resulting from consumption of a diet lower in CHO and higher in fat may be beneficial for older adults with obesity by depleting adipose tissue depots most strongly implicated in poor metabolic and functional outcomes and by improving insulin sensitivity and the lipid profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of prolactin and the gonads in seasonal physiological changes in the collared lemming (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus).
TL;DR: Findings suggest that, in the collared lemming, seasonal changes in pelage parameters are regulated by prolactin, with gonadal hormones playing a modulating role, and body weight, water content, and bifid claw size appear to be influenced by Gonadal hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Science dialogue mapping of knowledge and knowledge gaps related to the effects of dairy intake on human cardiovascular health and disease
Andrew W. Brown,Kathryn A. Kaiser,Andrew Keitt,Kevin R. Fontaine,Madeline Gibson,Barbara A. Gower,James M. Shikany,Colby J. Vorland,Donald C. Beitz,Dennis M. Bier,J. Thomas Brenna,David R. Jacobs,Penny M. Kris-Etherton,Kevin C. Maki,Michael Miller,Marie-Pierre St-Onge,Margarita Teran-Garcia,David B. Allison +17 more
TL;DR: An issue-based information system, “dialogue mapping™,” was used to summarize scientific points of a live panel discussion on the putative effects of dairy on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) from a day-long session among experts in nutrition and CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal analysis of the insulin-like growth factor system in African-American and European American children and adolescents.
TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that the ethnic differences in the IGF system exist throughout the pubertal transition, and these differences are mediated at least in part by inherent differences in insulin dynamics to suggest potential ethnic Differences in circulating bioavailable IGF-I.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral Supplementation with Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate, Arginine, and Glutamine Improves Lean Body Mass in Healthy Older Adults
TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with HMB, arginine, and glutamine improved total body lean mass among a small sample of healthy older adults and is indicated to elucidate mechanisms of action and whether supplementation may benefit frail elders.
