Vol. 20 Calorie balance in man observations have recently been repeated in another obese patient who received the diets in the reverse order (Table z). Each diet was given for 4 days and the biological assay was carried out on urine collected during the last z days of each dietary period. Ketogenic activity was present in the urine in the periods of low-carbohydrate diets and disappeared when t...

Enhancement of mammary tumor formation by dietary fat may be mediated via increased caloric intake. Three experiments were performed to study this relationship in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats: (a) highor low-fat isocaloric diets were fed in a crossover design; (b) low-fat, high-calorie and high-fat, low-calorie diets were fed in a crossover design; (c...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity has been recognized as the new epidemic in developed countries. Caloric restriction with physical activity is the main therapeutic treatment available for these children. We compared two different dietary protocols to assess treatment efficacy. METHODS Obese children from the Pediatric Endocrinology clinic were prospectively recruited for the study. Children and t...

Diabetes and Obesity have reached epidemic proportions. The treatment of diabetes and Obesity includes life style change. The diet is recommended to be low calorie in order to reduce weight. A low calorie sweetner, tagatose has been approved for food usage since 2003. It is also awaiting clearance for its use as Antidiabetic agent. The review covers the history of tagatose, production and use a...

Maintenance of weight loss remains an obstacle in successful treatment of obese individuals. The long term impact of calorie restriction on adipose tissue biology is poorly characterized. Molecular and lipid markers of these processes may provide wider understanding in the mechanisms underlying weight control. We aimed at identifying relevant relationship between clinical traits, clusters of ge...

4. Blood samples were assessed for haemoglobin and haematocrit values. 5 . Calorie, protein and folic acid intakes were low for all age groups; iron and ascorbic acid intakes were adequate. 6. There was no incidence of severe anaemia. Only 10 yo of all the eighty-eight children had a haemoglobin concentration below acceptable levels and only about 8 % of all the eighty-eight children had haemat...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of low-nitrogen and low-calorie parenteral nutrition (PN) combined with enteral nutrition (EN) on the inflammatory cytokines and immune function in patients with gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between May 2012 and May 2014, 90 patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer in our institution were involved in this double blind ...

low calorie diets are always difficult for obese subjects to follow and lead to metabolic and behavioral adaptation. therefore, we evaluated the effect of caffeine treatment with calorie shifting diet (csd) on weight loss. female subjects (n=98; bmi≥25) completed 4-weeks control diet, 6-weeks csd (3 repeated phases; each 2-weeks) and 4-weeks follow-up diet, with or without caffeine treatment (5...
