Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of a combination calorie restriction and moderateintensity continuous exercise on FFA levels visceral fat weight in female mice exposed high-caloriediet.Material Method: research was randomized posttest used only control group design with femalemice as sampl Balb/c (Mus musculus), 8 weeks old, 20-30 grams. It randomly divided into fourgroups, na...

Changing food consumption patterns and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. The agricultural sector is one of the major GHG emitters and thus holds a large potential for climate change mitigation through optimal management and dietary changes. We assess this potential, project emissions, and investigate dietary patterns and their changes...

Although calorie restriction and alternate-day fasting have potential for slowing the aging process while decreasing risk for vascular disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia, a “carbohydrate-concentrated” diet strategy, entailing long daily periods of carbohydrate abstinence, may prove to be a much more practical strategy for achieving these aims. The life extension and healthy aging benefits o...

INTRODUCTION Calorie intake from beverages has increased in the past decades, which most likely contributes to higher obesity rates. Although coffee chains have grown in popularity in recent years, few data examine the calorie contribution of these drinks. We examined afternoon beverage purchases in New York City at 2 major coffee chains and estimated the mean calorie content of these beverages...

High-fat diets produce obesity in part because, per calorie, glucose produces greater post-prandial thermogenesis than lipids, an effect probably mediated by glucose-sensing neurons. A very low-carbohydrate/high-fat/high-protein Atkins-type diet produces obesity but is marginally ketogenic in mice. In contrast, high-sucrose/low-fat diets, and very low-carbohydrate/high-fat/low-protein (anti-epi...

Atherosclerosis is one of the causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which account for nearly 50% deaths in developed nations. Metabolic syndrome is known to contribute to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Metabolic syndrome includes the symptoms of visceral obesity and insulin resistance, which are caused by several risk factors such as overeating, lack of exe...

We have evaluated the nutritional content of food intake (kilocalories, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals) before and after a low caloric diet in a sample of 25 overweight and obese patients. We have also measured several biochemical parameters such as glucose, magnesium, iron, calcium, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and thyroid stimulating ho...

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and will be followed by a worldwide epidemic of diabetes. While diet, lifestyle, and exercise are the cornerstones of current approaches to treat obesity, they have been ineffective in stemming the current epidemic. In this issue of THE JOURNAL, the article by Bravata et al systematically reviews and synthesizes the literature on the use of low-carbohydrate diets...

We compared the effects of two diets on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and other health-related outcomes in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (HbA1c>6%). We randomized participants to either a medium carbohydrate, low fat, calorie-restricted, carbohydrate counting diet (MCCR) consistent with guidelines from the American Diabetes Association (n = 18) or a very low carbo...

BACKGROUND Diet therapies including calorie restriction, ketogenic diets, and fish-oil supplementation have been used to improve health and to treat a variety of neurological and non-neurological diseases. METHODS We investigated the effects of three diets on circulating plasma metabolites (glucose and β-hydroxybutyrate), hormones (insulin and adiponectin), and lipids over a 32-day period in ...
