food hypersensitivity/triglyceride

OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation of food intolerance and hyperlipidemia. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2008 to June 2009. It recruited a total of 11 434 adults from Health Sciences Center at our hospital. Non-conditional Logistic regression model was utilized for

We report a study of realimentation techniques in 9 unweaned infants with multiple food hypersensitivity. The patients had presented severe symptoms of cow's milk allergy and successive attempts using milk containing soy protein and/or a semielemental formula in their alimentation did not improve

Fats constitute the most significant nutritional source of energy. Their proper use by the body conditions a number of complex mechanisms of digestion, absorption, distribution, and metabolism. These mechanisms are facilitated by fats made of medium chain fatty acids; therefore, they are an easy and

The prevalence of food allergy is rising in the western world. Allergen restriction is the chosen treatment in this condition, but continuous ingestion of the antigen has shown positive results in clinical trials. In a previous study, we have shown several allergic and metabolic alterations after 7

To investigate the consequences of food allergy in adipose tissue and metabolism, we used a murine model in which mice have been sensitized subcutaneously with ovalbumin and further received antigen-containing diet. Allergic mice presented a significant weight loss 7 days after oral challenge with a

BACKGROUND Food allergy (FA) is an increasing problem that has no approved treatment. The pro-TH2 cytokines IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are associated with FA, and mAbs to these cytokines are reported to suppress murine FA development. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine

BACKGROUND The prevalence of peanut allergies is increasing. Peanuts and many other allergen sources contain significant amounts of triglycerides, which affect absorption of antigens but have unknown effects on sensitization and anaphylaxis. We recently reported that dietary medium-chain

BACKGROUND A small fraction of dietary protein survives enzymatic degradation and is absorbed in potentially antigenic form. This can trigger inflammatory responses in patients with celiac disease or food allergies, but typically induces systemic immunological tolerance (oral tolerance). At present

Biliopancreatic bypass surgery leads to considerable weight loss and the stabilisation over time of the newly acquired body weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and nutritional conditions of patients undergoing this operation. Thirty subjects who had undergone

We previously demonstrated that water-soluble egg yolk extract is not related to elevation of serum immunoglobulin E, which can initiate allergic reactions; however, it increases the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and the activity of B lymphocytes. In this study, egg white (EW)

It is well known that patients with atopic disease have anomalies of fatty acid composition in their blood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether infants from atopic families also have abnormal cord blood levels of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in plasma and red

Multiple food allergies required a group of seven patients with elevated serum cholesterol levels to follow a diet in which most of the calories came from beef fat. Their diets contained no sucrose, milk, or grains. They were given nutritional supplements. This is the only group of people in recent

The protracted diarrhea of young infants with failure to thrive is a clinically defined severe illness. Starting from acute enteritis it will lead to a vicious circle of malnutrition, malabsorption and food intolerance. 17 infants have been treated with a special diet of the three components: 1.

OBJECTIVE To determine the physical-nutritional profile of obese patients submitted to bariatric surgery at the HC/UFPE. METHODS Two-hundred-and-five patients were evaluated retrospectively during the period of 2002 through 2006. Analysis considered clinical history for diabetes type 2 (DM 2), high
