Elderly are supplemented with either Omega-3 (3 x 1.1g per day) or placebo (corn oil) during 14 weeks. The last 12 weeks, supplementation is combined with resistance exercise training (3x per week) focusing on upper leg strength. In the present project, the investigators study whether differences in
During the last decade, several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that respond to dietary lipid metabolites including free fatty acids (FFAs) have been discovered. These receptors have been implicated in metabolic processes and inflammation. Consequently, several of the receptors have attracted
- Objective: To determine the effect of the daily addition of five mL of an O3 highly concentrated substance (EicosaPentaenoic Acid - EPA: 2.25 g and DocosaHexaenoic Acid - DHA: 1.08 g), to the standard enteral nutrition diet during RT (5-7 weeks), on the Quality of Life (QoL) and Functionality (Fx)
All pregnant women meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be identified at the time of their regular OB appointments between the 8th and the 14th week of pregnancy (+/- 3 days) Research team members will approach potential subjects to explain the study and obtain consent for their
Non- alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs in 30% of the adult US population (Luther, J., et al., 2015). Eating large amounts of fructose (a dietary sugar) increases liver fat accumulation and worsens NAFLD. In addition, fructose consumption has been shown to greatly increase
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The disease is strongly associated with obesity, and develops via pre-diabetic conditions, where insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation play an important role, to T2D, where failure of the pancreatic beta-cell to
In a double blind trial in patients with chronic renal disease, the effects of a 3.7 g supplement of docosahexanoic and eicosapentanoic acids or a supplement of a similar dose of corn oil during 12 weeks, will be assessed on the following parameters:
1. Urine albumin excretion
2. Renal function
This is a randomized, crossover, pilot study that includes two screening visits and two 4-week test periods, separated by a 3-week washout. Subjects will consume study products providing 4 tablespoons oil/day of either corn oil or coconut oil replacing the same amount of oil in the background diet.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The disease is strongly associated with obesity, and develops via pre-diabetic conditions, where insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation play an important role, to T2D, where failure of the pancreatic beta-cell to
From eligible subjects, 70 participants will be recruited for a first visit, when they will give informed consent. Also at the first visit, medical reports will be confirmed by each participant, anthropometric measures will be recorded and blood samples will be collected. After first blood analysis
Need for proposed research: High quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses of controlled trials represent the highest level of evidence to support dietary guidelines and public health policy development. As HFCS has gained increasing popularity as a popular sweetener over the past ~50 years,
Background: Sugars have emerged as one of the most important public health concerns. Attention has focused particularly on fructose-containing sugars (fructose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, etc), which collectively have been indicted as drivers of various cardiometabolic complications.
A large broad of evidence has shown that traditional perioperative care have a weak scientific basis and needs to be changed. Multimodal or fast-track protocols of perioperative care for abdominal surgery have been associated with lower morbidity, lower costs and faster postoperative recovery when
In this randomized controlled design, patients continued receiving background medications (slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) without change and were assigned to two groups. The first group (G1) received daily four mussel oil capsules (containing 800mg mussel
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled feasibility trial of DHA for the treatment of pediatric concussion related to sports-injury. The definition used for concussion is from the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: the 3rd International Conference on Concussion in Sport (Br J
