TL;DR: Several effects of a high-fructose diet in humans can be observed with high-fat or high-glucose diets as well, suggesting that an excess caloric intake may be the main factor involved in the development of the metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: It is concluded that reductions in the mass of individual organs/tissues and in tissue-specific organ metabolic rate contribute to a reduction in RMR that in turn promotes changes in body composition favoring increased fat mass and reduced fat-free mass.

TL;DR: All bariatric surgery patients would be best served by receiving regular monitoring of serum nutrient levels starting at 3 mo after surgery and periodically thereafter, and patients will require additional doses of prophylactic supplementation life-long to maintain optimal micronutrient status.

TL;DR: The consumption of moderate amounts of caffeine increases energy availability, increases daily energy expenditure, decreases fatigue, decreases the sense of effort associated with physical activity, and enhances physical performance.

TL;DR: The fundamental role of coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) in mitochondrial bioenergetics and its well-acknowledged antioxidant properties constitute the basis for its clinical applications, although some of its effects may be related to a gene induction mechanism.

TL;DR: Wound healing is a process that can be divided into three different phases (inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation).

TL;DR: There is a cross-talk among the gut, liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, and hypothalamus, and pathobiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus and it is clear that management of obesity needs a multifactorial approach.

TL;DR: Based on a review, the most effective means of preventing or treating refeeding syndrome were the following: recognizing the patients at risk; providing adequate electrolyte, vitamin, and micronutrient supplementation; careful fluid resuscitation; cautious and gradual energy restoration; and monitoring of critical laboratory indices.

TL;DR: Considering current criteria for nutritional risk, NRS 2002 and MNA-SF have similar performance to predict outcomes but NRS 2002 seems to provide a best yield.

TL;DR: It is suggested that butyrate and propionate increase apoptosis of neutrophils irrespective of their activation state, by factors other than GPRs and MAPKs, and their mechanisms likely relate to their histone deacetylase inhibition activity, which may control a1 mRNA expression.

TL;DR: The goal of this report is to review the current knowledge and suggest further avenues of research in the area of zinc homeostasis in cardiovascular disease research.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that green tea catechins are more bioavailable than previously observed when colonic ring fission metabolites are taken into consideration, somehow justifying the numerous beneficial actions described as linked to green tea intake.

TL;DR: It is concluded that specific benefits associated with BCAA supplementation depend significantly on the type of liver disease and on the presence of inflammatory reaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the Antep pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) on blood glucose, lipid parameters, endothelial function, inflammation, and oxidation in healthy young men living in a controlled environment was investigated.

TL;DR: The results show that supplement intake in people exercising in gyms is high and is usually self-prescribed, and that the use of dietary supplements must be always done under the supervision of a specialist (physician or nutritionist).

TL;DR: There is no full agreement among experts on the elements defining and operationalism of malnutrition and the results of this study may fuel the discussion within the nutritional societies, which will most ideally lead to an international consensus on a definition and operationalist of malnutrition.

TL;DR: Dietary TAC may be also a potential early estimate of the risk to develop metabolic syndrome features and that dietary TAC could be a useful research tool in assessing antioxidant intake is suggested.

TL;DR: Double-coated live L. plantarum KCTC3928 may have hypocholesterolemic effects in mice primarily due to induction of fecal bile acid secretion followed by increased degradation of hepatic cholesterol into bile acids.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the prevalence and risk factors of malnutrition in hospitalized cancer patients according to tumor location and stage and found that about 61% of hospitalized patients were malnourished and the prevalence of malnutrition was higher in male patients with longer hospital stays.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the consumption of acai improves antioxidant status and has a hypocholesterolemic effect in an animal model of dietary-induced hypercholesterolemia.

TL;DR: Malnutrition was associated with at least twice the odds ratio of having a pressure ulcer of in public health care facilities in Queensland, Australia, and action must be taken to identify, prevent, and treat malnutrition, especially in patients at risk of pressure ulcers.

TL;DR: There is a significant relationship between malnutrition parameters like undesired weight loss, BMI < 18.5, and low nutritional intake and PU in hospitals and nursing homes in Germany.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence by age and sex and associated factors of overweight and obesity in French adolescents were determined by a cross-sectional study of 2385 adolescents aged 11-18 y (1213 boys and 1172 girls).

TL;DR: It is suggested that nutritional support was beneficial to the patients at nutritional risk according to Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 by a lower complication rate.

TL;DR: Investigation of the extent to which HGS, endurance, and work are related to physical function as measured by mobility and physical activity (PA) in young, healthy volunteers found handgrip strength is a valid measurement of mobility and QoL in patients and of PA in healthy female subjects and male patients.

TL;DR: The data available so far indicate that women are more sensitive to insulin with regards to glucose metabolism (both in the liver and in muscle), whereas there are no differences between men and women in insulin action on lipolysis.

TL;DR: This article examined the current discrepancies in the definitions of food security and proposed a framework for understanding and measuring food security, and argued that relying on coping strategies as surrogate measurements of food insecurity without taking into account the social, cultural, and political contexts in which they occur is misleading.

TL;DR: The mechanisms by which immune nutrients can be used to modulate alterations in innate and acquired immunity associated with critical illness are discussed to clarify some of the more controversial issues and provide a "roadmap" for the practitioner.

TL;DR: The findings support the association between demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle factors and dietary patterns of the studied women and it is suggested these factors should be considered in future studies on the link between dietary patterns and disease.

TL;DR: Specific nutritional supplementation accelerated healing of pressure ulcers and decreased wound care intensity in non-malnourished patients, which is likely to decrease overall costs of pressure Ulcer treatment.
