TL;DR: Evidence from longitudinal studies suggests that chronic life stress may be causally linked to weight gain, with a greater effect seen in men, and stress-induced eating may be one factor contributing to the development of obesity.

TL;DR: The probiotic dahi-supplemented diet significantly delayed the onset of glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, and oxidative stress in high fructose-induced diabetic rats, indicating a lower risk of diabetes and its complications.

TL;DR: A review of the evidence suggests a critical role of environmental factors in conferring an increased risk of obesity and T2DM, but the role of stress and as yet unknown factors remain to be determined.

TL;DR: Oral administration of the strain L. fermentum CECT5716 potentates the immunologic response of an anti-influenza vaccine and may provide enhanced systemic protection from infection by increasing the T-helper type 1 response and virus-neutralizing antibodies.

TL;DR: Polyamines play an important role in regulating cell growth and proliferation, the stabilization of negative charges of DNA, RNA transcription, protein synthesis, apoptosis, and the regulation of the immune response.

TL;DR: The results suggest that imbalanced diets play important roles in development and progression of NASH and correction of these diets may be necessary in patients with NASH.

TL;DR: Long-term oral supplementation with a BCAA mixture is better than ordinary food in a late evening snack at improving the serum albumin level and the energy metabolism in patients with cirrhosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plasma concentration of arginine can be increased through intake of citrulline from watermelon, a conditionally essential amino acid for humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed whether sugar-sweetened beverage consumption increases fatness in British children and found no evidence of an association between consumption at 5 or 7 y of age and fatness at age 9 y.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, when fructose is consumed in the form of HFCS, the measured metabolic responses do not differ from Suc in lean women, and this findings hold true for obese individuals, males, or longer periods.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, due to a long evolutionary persistence of iron deficiency, efforts at its prevention will take a long time to be effective.

TL;DR: The consumption of CF with a hypercholesterolemic diet improved the lipidemic profile and reduced lipid peroxidation, suggesting that CF might contribute to a reduction of cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: Infants in the experimental group had fewer incidences of constipation and had stool characteristics that suggest that the experimental formula was tolerated well, and these infants showed a trend toward fewer respiratory tract infections.

TL;DR: Results indicated that leucine-rich proteins were efficient in improving muscle protein synthesis in old rats and nutritional supplements containing such proteins may be efficient in preventing sarcopenia in the elderly.

TL;DR: The bioelectrical impedance vector analysis resistance/reactance graph could represent a valuable tool to assess changes in body cell mass and hydration status in elderly nursing home residents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether dietary supplementation with cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CLPr) could prevent elevation of blood glucose levels in mice with diabetes mellitus and obesity.

TL;DR: Long-term intake of RPS induces pronounced changes in the colonic environment, reduces damage to colonocytes, and improves mucosal integrity, reducing colonic and systemic immune reactivity, for which health benefits in inflammatory conditions are likely to be associated.

TL;DR: The results suggest that leisure time physical activity, family history of obesity, watching television, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption are important predictive variables for childhood obesity, whereas other factors including breast-feeding, birth weight, and time spent sleeping did not appear to play an important role in the development of childhood obesity.

TL;DR: It is stated that a natural antioxidant-rich diet has a positive effect on redox homeostasis during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion of rats and may protect the hepatocytes against oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Claims that supplementation of 200 microg of Cr as CrPic promotes weight loss and body composition changes are not supported.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that patient satisfaction is enhanced by choice at the point of consumption (trolley system); however, portion size was not the controlling dimension.

TL;DR: The Subjective Global Assessment is a simple and reliable predictor for hospital stay in patients with digestive diseases and had the best predictive power, followed by the presence of malignancy and disease category.

TL;DR: An important prevalence of vitamin A deficiency was found in children and adolescents living in a poor region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and overweight children, as much as adolescents, may have a greater chance of presenting low concentrations of carotenoids and, hence, a lower antioxidant defense.

TL;DR: The metabolic syndrome in children is an important clinical marker of diabetes and coronary heart disease in adults and high-risk screening and effective public-intervention educational programs are urgently needed.

TL;DR: The quality of the home environment, as assessed by the Home Screening Questionnaire, was the strongest predictor of IQ at 4 y, and there was no association between duration of breast-feeding and childhood IQ in this relatively well-nourished cohort from an industrialized society.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison was done between New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes I-II and III-IV, and the results showed that reactance and phase angle were significantly lower, the impedance ratio of 200 kHz to that at 5 kHz was higher, and had significantly shorter and downsloping impedance vector in the NYHA III-III-IV group compared with the I-I-II group by gender.

TL;DR: The prediction of visceral fat in overweight and obese patients, as assessed by anthropometric tests and DXA, offers a good alternative to CAT, without significant differences between them.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a soy-based low-calorie diet on weight control, body composition, and blood lipid profiles compared with a traditional low calorie diet were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels in infants receiving a formula with a specific mixture of 0.6 g/100 mL of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and long-chain fructo-lachemide (lcFOS) in a ratio of 9/1, a control formula, or breast milk.

TL;DR: Stunted children are more likely to deposit fat centrally when entering puberty, a significant risk factor for chronic diseases and may explain part of the association between early growth retardation and later risk for metabolic diseases.
