TL;DR: The discrepancy of manifestations seen in COVID-19 seems to be mediated by a differential immune response rather than a differential viral load, which can directly correlate the effect of a hypoxic environment with the increase of HIF-1α level as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ACEI and ARBs in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been investigated.

TL;DR: Evidence-based, focused, long-term interventions which are adequately funded and bolder changes to central policies and social structure are needed for sustained change will allow some mitigation of the affects of COVID-19 but also reduce negative outcomes in future comparable situations.

TL;DR: Evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on weight status, obesity and overweight among US children and identify associated factors found that the overall mean body mass index (BMI) increased after the lockdown.

TL;DR: Guggulsterone (GS) isomers are major bioactive compounds present in Commiphora mukul and commiphora wighti as discussed by the authors, which have shown antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and appetite regulating activity due to its peculiar characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the risk of other complications in COVID-19 patients with diabetes, such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and kidney diseases, and found that patients with chronic kidney and liver diseases had higher risk of death.

TL;DR: Meta-analytic findings suggest that chances of getting severe COVID-19 disease in patients with CVD is greater than those without CVD, and that guideline-directed diagnosis and medical therapy is vital in CVD patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the effects of overweight and obesity on COVID-19 disease severity, which showed that overweight and higher BMI is one of the leading comorbidities to increase the risk of COVID19 severity.

TL;DR: A PAN India survey conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) showed that 93% of the children ate packed food and 68% consumed packaged sweetened beverages more than once a week, and 53% ate these products at least once in a day.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the relationship between Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and COVID-19 in the community setting and found that patients with T2D are more prone to acquiring selected types of infections and are more susceptible to complications due to these infections.

TL;DR: GLEE may be a viable regimen against MetS and its attendant complications in rats, and a dose-dependent total antioxidant capacity and, a near dose- dependent DPPH radical scavenging, and ferric ion reducing ability were exhibited by GLEE in vitro.

TL;DR: This review is focused to discuss these emerging therapeutic targets of T2D along with recent potent chemical entities of concerned therapeutic target.

TL;DR: Multisectoral interventions should be launched by targeting the at-risk population for the underweight and overweight/obesity prevention programs irrespective of work status or place of residence, according to this study's findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impact of COVID-19 on glycemic patterns in a small pilot study was addressed, where 13 patients with mild COVID19 who were confirmed without diabetes and another group of 18 healthy individuals with available CGM data were well matched and enrolled into the final analysis.

TL;DR: These studies suggest that flaxseed and its products improve glycemic indices, but this effect depends on the type of supplement, as well as the quality of studies evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of obesity on the female reproductive system with the involvement of various hormones, binding protein, inflammatory agents, metabolic perturbation, dysbiosis, obesity-induced alteration in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis and sustainable goals to manage obesity.

TL;DR: It is shown that the combined extract possess anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant anti-lipidemic and immune-modulatory effects, therefore can be useful in the management of inflammatory related diseases and useful as immune booster.

TL;DR: Although MHO individuals are not healthy and may represent a subclinical state of obesity, they are closer to normal than those with other obesity phenotypes concerning adipocyte size and distribution, immune cell infiltration, adipokine secretion, cardiorespiratory fitness, proinflammatory biomarkers, insulin sensitivity, and dietary response.

TL;DR: On the basis of existing clinical evidence, it seems that guggulsterone is much helpful in reduction of Low-density lipoprotein levels, and it is important to consider clinical pharmacokinetics of Guggulster one isomers to create a definitive decision in this context.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic value of fasting hyperglycemia in patients with COVID-19, which was defined as fasting plasma glucose level above the reference value.

TL;DR: Evidence also suggests that modified regulation and release of gut hormones are the result of compensatory mechanisms in states of excess adipose tissue and hyperglycemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the dynamics of public interest and awareness in diabetes before and during the pandemic and determined the possible factors associated with online interest in diabetes using Google Trends™ database.

TL;DR: A positive association between VO2max and RMR with a better body composition profile is found which shows the better CRF may be recommended as a strategy to prevent obesity prevalence and effective weight loss program.

TL;DR: In this paper, the anthropometric markers of thoracic skeletal muscle and abdominal visceral fat tissue correlate with outcome parameters in critically ill COVID-19 patients in four ICUs at a university hospital.

TL;DR: SASI bypass is an effective and safe bariatric surgical procedure that achieves satisfactory weight loss with significantly improvement in obesity-related complications, such as T2DM and GERD, and minimal postoperative nutritional complications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated, that both konjac and glucomannan can reduce fat storage via several extra- and intracellular mechanisms, and these substances could be useful for treatment of obesity in adults.

TL;DR: Because adipose tissue is the source of some inflammatory factors, the aerobic training and licorice extract consumption, might modify inflammation and oxidative stress through improvement in redox signaling, weight and BMI as well as exercise adaptation.

TL;DR: One in four immigrants was found to be obese and overweight, and increasing attention to the issue of obesity and overweight and monitoring it is a need for community health.

TL;DR: It is suggested that silymarin administration has beneficial effects on glycemic indices such as FBS, HbA1c but the results for lipid profile ingredients (TC, TG) are imprecise uncertain, and overall the available evidence is insufficient to make a firm conclusion.

TL;DR: Despite no synergistic exercise and green coffee treatment effects, exercise improved most TyG parameters and lipid profiles in obese women.
