Infant and young child feeding is critical for their health and survival. Based on well-established evidence, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) recommend that mothers put newborns to the breast within one hour of birth, breastfeed infants exclusively

Overall lipid profile is important in cardiovascular diseases but particularly serum HDL levels have long been recognized as an independent inverse prognostic marker of CVD, when the Framigham study, in 1980s showed that HDL below 40-60mg/dl is of prognostic relevance. A rise of 1mg/dl in HDL levels

The objective is to assess the effect of consuming plant sterol or plant stanol esters (3 grams/day) for 12 months on biopsy proven liver inflammation in NAFLD patients. This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded pilot study with a run-period of 2 weeks, an intervention period of

Background: The Portfolio Dietary Pattern, which includes nuts, viscous fiber, plant protein, and plant sterols, has been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect similar to that of early statin medications. Despite the endorsement of the Portfolio Dietary Pattern by major international diabetes

Krill powder is a food supplement rich in active ingredients such as fatty acids, phospholipids, protein and antioxidants like astaxanthin. It is considered to be more effective in lowering triglyceride values than fish oils and it may have positive effect on cholesterol values as well. Krill

Intestinal drug absorption appears to be a very complex process characterized by gastrointestinal transit, disintegration of dosage forms, drug dissolution within the intestinal lumen, active and passive uptake processes, mucosal metabolism (e.g. by cytochrome P450 (CYP), UGT, sulfotransferase

Medications currently approved for the treatment of obesity act primarily to promote a state of energy balance - by either suppressing appetite or interfering with lipid absorption in the small intestine. Similarly, it may be possible to reduce or inhibit the synthesis of triglycerides (TG) from

STUDY OBJECTIVES The general aim of the study is to evaluate whether wheat aleurone-rich food supplementation modifies the cardiovascular and metabolic risk profiles in subjects at increased metabolic risk. Primary objectives of the trial are to evaluate whether wheat aleurone-rich food

Determination of cardiovascular risk If the assessment of cardiovascular risk remains incomplete, can identify indicators that measure risk: 1. Framingham Risk Score: Includes age, sex, total and HDL-CHOL, and levels of blood pressure (can underestimate the risk in some patients). 2. PROCAM Risk

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease with a well-established link to obesity and is increasingly prevalent with the concurrent rise in obesity. NAFLD constitutes a disease spectrum from steatosis to cirrhosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health problem in the United States with ~2/3 of Americans that are overweight or frankly obese. Less well recognized is that obesity and T2DM are fueling another "silent epidemic": non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In NAFLD, hepatic fat

The objective of the study is to examine the expression of genes and gene regions involved in obesity, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism. We aim to identify new genes which are involved in the development of metabolic aberrations characteristic of metabolic syndrome/type 2 diabetes. Obesity
