Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the essential cofactors required for the proper function of living cells, and depletion in NAD has been correlated to aging individuals as NAD is associated with oxidative stress and energy production. Per the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), it
Dyslipidemia is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Lipid abnormalities, including high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), are independent predictors of CV disease.
1. Research background;Currently, hyperlipidemia in Chinese adults is 40.40%, and is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as increasing the risk of tumor.Hyperlipidemia and intestinal flora are closely related and interact with each other.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) has become a health crisis of epidemic proportions in the modern world. One in six individuals in the United States will experience an episode of major depression in his or her lifetime, and it is estimated that major depression will rank second after cardiac disease
Study Setting:
The present study is a single blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, in which target individuals were obese females (BMI≥30 kg/m2), within the age of 20-60 years, attending the Obesity research and therapy unit of Al-Kindy College of Medicine, University of Baghdad
Triple burden of malnutrition (i.e. protein-energy malnutrition including micronutrient deficiency and overnutrition) is a current global problem. In 2017, 155 out of 677 million children in the world under the age of 5 years were stunted (height for age < -2 SD of the WHO Child Growth Standards
Overweight and obesity in the United States and other industrialized countries represents a significant and growing health problem. Individuals who are overweight or obese increase their risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes (T2D), and the metabolic syndrome. Obesity affects both genders
In UK adults, meat provides approximately 40% of the average daily protein intake and makes a significant contribution to intake of thiamin, niacin, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, potassium, and phosphorus. However, excessive consumption, particularly of red and processed meat, is associated with
Insulin resistance in liver and skeletal muscle is of central pathogenic significance in the development of type 2 diabetes. The molecular connections are unresolved but high levels of free fatty acids and triglyceride is probably involved. Diabetic subjects and to a lesser extent obese subjects
Obese children and adults display lower spontaneous and stimulated growth hormone (GH) secretion. It is presumed that dysregulation of some of the factors normally involved in controlling GH secretion underlies the hyposomatotropinemia of obesity, given that GH production usually normalizes after
24 patients will be included in a double blind placebo controlled cross-over 8 week study comparing placebo to Niaspan (a long release formulation of niacin). In order to prevent any drop out linked to the flushing side effect of niacin, patient will take aspirin (300mg) prior to treatment
Ghrelin is a relatively 'new' hormone that is produced in the stomach and to a lesser extend in the hypothalamus of the brain. The actions of ghrelin are diverse and includes stimulation of the appetite center of the brain and the release of growth hormone. We have for the first time shown that
The field of lipid treatment for atheroprevention, and of HDL-raising in particular, was shaken by the unexpected finding of a net adverse clinical effect of torcetrapib, a Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor with HDL-raising effects far more dramatic than that of niacin or
The prevalence of obesity among youth has increased dramatically in recent years. Parallel to the increased rates of pediatric obesity, overweight children present clinically with adiposity related comorbidities such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The prevailing recommendations for
