Palmitoleic acid (POA) is a monounsaturated fatty acid that has recently been shown to function as a lipokine and is present in the human diet and in blood serum. While there is emerging evidence that POA can positively impact beta cell proliferation, reduce lipogenesis, support endothelial
Background and rationale: East Asian adults are known to have higher levels of visceral adiposity than whites, African Americans, and Hispanic adults in the US. This visceral fat deposition, because of its close proximity to the portal vein, has greater metabolic activity and is associated with a
IPF is a chronic, progressive, irreversible disease that ends in respiratory failure and death. The average survival time is 2-5 years from the onset of the first symptoms. IPF patients are often treated with pirfenidone, and the response is positive, however there are gastrointestinal side effects.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel clinical trial of lipoic acid for inflammatory factors, insulin resistance, glycemic control and anthropometric indices in patients with metabolic syndrome. patients are randomly shared into two groups and received 600 mg supplemental and placebo for 12
Radiation therapy remains the principal treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The most frequently occurred radiation-related side effect is probably the radiation-induced oral mucositis, which affects up to 100% of NPC patients receiving radiation therapy, especially combined with
1. HYPOTHESIS The effects of fatty acids consumption on brown / beige adipose tissue have not yet been explored in humans. However, studies that evaluated the effects of saturated fatty acid replacement by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on animal and human

For the proposed study, the investigators will recruit research participants from the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder, housed at the University of Michigan under the direction of Dr. Melvin McInnis, mentor on this application. The
Nutrition is able to substantially alter the health status of the general population. In industrialized countries such as Italy the most important association between diet and health is certainly the relationship with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death and disability. The ability to
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process accompanied by destruction of Periodontium, and sometimes loss of teeth. Periodontal disease is highly prevalent especially in developing and underdeveloped countries affecting more than 80% population. Epidemiological studies have shown that
Controlled clinical trial composed of children of adolescents aged 1 to 19 years with refractory epilepsy drug polytherapy (antiepileptic drugs). Children of both sexes are being included. The control group receive the diet classical ketogenic while the case group receive the ketogenic diet modified
The Hass Avocado contains monounsaturated fat, lutein, glutathione, vitamin E, and other antioxidants. This study will determine whether avocado exerts a beneficial effect by inhibition of the absorption of malondialdehyde (MDA) which is a measure of lipid peroxidation. In a previous study, we
Background Cardiovascular diseases belong to the major causes of mortality in western populations. Atherosclerosis of arterial system may result in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and peripheral artery disease with possible fatal consequences such as acute myocardial infarction and
