Lifestyle and nutritional imbalances associated with Western diseases: causes and consequences of chronic systemic low-grade inflammation in an evolutionary context.
TL;DR: This review focuses on lifestyle changes, especially dietary habits, that are at the basis of chronic systemic low grade inflammation, insulin resistance and Western diseases, and the disturbance of the authors' inflammatory/anti-inflammatory balance is illustrated by dietary fatty acids and antioxidants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of saturated fatty acids with low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular disease
TL;DR: Research regarding this heterogenic group of fatty acids and the mechanisms relating them to (chronic) systemic low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and notably CVD are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sedentary (r)evolution: Have we lost our metabolic flexibility?
TL;DR: It is argued that the metabolic disease epidemic is largely based on a deficit in metabolic flexibility, and can be reversed by re-cultivating suppressed metabolic programs, which became obsolete in an affluent environment, particularly the ability to easily switch to ketone body and fat oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saturated fatty acid (SFA) status and SFA intake exhibit different relations with serum total cholesterol and lipoprotein cholesterol: a mechanistic explanation centered around lifestyle-induced low-grade inflammation
Begoña Ruiz-Núñez,Remko S. Kuipers,Martine F. Luxwolda,Deti J. De Graaf,Benjamin B. Breeuwsma,D.A. Janneke Dijck-Brouwer,Frits A. J. Muskiet +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that interaction with many other lifestyle factors determines whether SFA status has a relevant contributing effect in low-grade inflammation, lipoprotein changes and CAD risk, opposite to the reductionist approach of studying the effects of single nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher Prevalence of "Low T3 Syndrome" in Patients With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Case-Control Study.
Begoña Ruiz-Núñez,Rabab Tarasse,Emar F. Vogelaar,D.A. Janneke Dijck-Brouwer,Frits A. J. Muskiet +4 more
TL;DR: Low circulating T3 and the apparent shift from T3 to rT3 may reflect more severely depressed tissue T3 levels, and the present findings might be in line with recent metabolomic studies pointing at a hypometabolic state.
