Dysregulated sphingolipid ceramide (Cer) metabolism impairs mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity and vascular reactivity and has been identified as a central common pathway towards the dyslipidemia, central adiposity, hyperglycemia, and hypertension that define metabolic syndrome,

1. Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammation, affecting approximately 130,000 Canadians. Its incidence and prevalence is rising worldwide. The disease etiology is unknown; however its pathogenesis is thought to be mediated by commensal gut bacteria, affected by

Participants were chosen from the control group of the Genetics of the Atherosclerotic Disease (GEA, for its initials in Spanish) study, performed at the Institute National of Cardiology "Ignacio Chávez" in Mexico City, Mexico. The protocol was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of the

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by fat accumulation in liver cells not caused by alcohol. A leading cause of chronic liver disease in the US, NAFLD represents a group of disorders including steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with fibrosis. It

Sedentary, overweight and obese subjects diagnosed with T2D, ages 40-75 years old, will be recruited from the local community, via the University of Missouri's Endocrinology Clinic and the primary care clinics. During screening, and after consent, anthropometrics (waist circumference and body

In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=26) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. Participants were >18 years of age, not pregnant, not diabetic, with no unresolved infections or

Hypothesis: Hepatic DNL in response to the ingestion of fructose:glucose 1:1 is significantly greater in adolescents with obesity and prediabetes compared to adolescents with obesity who are metabolically healthy. Thirty obese adolescents, ages 12-21 years, will be recruited to each of two groups:

BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: International health agencies and chronic disease associations have called for reductions in free/added sugars to ≤5-10% of energy to address the growing epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Attention has focused especially on the reduction of major source of free sugars,

Specific Aims: There is considerable epidemiological evidence that demonstrates associations between added sugar/sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and increased risk for or prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome, and gout.

Adolescents are the highest consumers of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) potentially because their developing brains are most susceptible to the rewarding neural effects of sugar consumption. Thus, we specifically target this population (adolescents) to understand neural mechanisms involved in

Isomaltulose is a natural occurring disaccharide with a similar structure to sucrose. It is composed of glucose and fructose, but is linked by an α-1,6-glycosidic bond instead of α-1,2. Due to its binding, isomaltulose is slowly hydrolysed, which results in a rather weak postprandial

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

Consumption of carbohydrate-rich foods or sugary drinks affects blood glucose levels. Results from a large number of studies in humans have shown that diets rich in foods that give lower glucose response beneficially affect elevated fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the sensitivity
