TL;DR: In vitro, it is demonstrated that the MUFA oleic acid can impede ATP-induced IL-1β secretion from lipopolysaccharide- and SFA-primed cells in an AMPK-dependent manner and suggest that dietary MUFA can attenuate IL- 1β–mediated insulin resistance and adipose dysfunction despite obesity via the preservation of AMPK activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet and metabolic syndrome: an overview
TL;DR: Evidence has shown that lifestyle intervention comprising changes in dietary intake and physical activity leads to an improved metabolic profile both in the presence or absence of weight loss thus highlighting the importance of a multi-faceted approach in combating MetS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a termination of pregnancy education programme in the Republic of Ireland: part 1
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provide an evaluation of a national termination of pregnancy education program for midwives and nurses in the Republic of Ireland, using an online questionnaire that captured nurses' and midwives' reactions to a training experience at a termination-of-pregnancy education programme and their self-assessed knowledge before and after training.
