A total of 93 males and females will participate in the study at the University of Toronto.
At the beginning and after 12 weeks, body weight, composition will be measured through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. Resting metabolic rate and thermogenesis will be measured by indirect
Alginate is an extract of brown seaweed and has been shown to reduce lipase activity in vitro. Lipase is a valid target for anti-obesity products as shown by the pharmaceutical drug orlistat which targets the same enzyme. Reducing the amount of lipase activity will reduce the amount of
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
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to verify the effects of jeju steam onion. Fifty-six healthy male and female subjects aged 20-65 years with normal body weight [25.0 kg/㎡ ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 30.0 kg/㎡] were recruited. The basic framework of the
Obesity, and high internal fat storage in particular, represents a tremendous and increasing health challenge across the world, and is linked to the recent introduction and globalization of an ultra-processed food supply largely based on refined carbohydrates. However, more high-quality studies are
First of all, the omega-3 free fatty acids have an important effect for lowering triglycerides through three potential mechanisms such as:
Inhibition of triacylglycerol synthesis as direct inhibition of diacyl glycerol acetyl transferase and phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase results in lowering
Relevance and strategic approach Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Known risk factors are advanced age, ethnic origins and positive family history of the disease (1). There are considerable ethnic disparities in
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, being dyslipidemias, oxidative stress, sedentary lifestyle and obesity primary risk factors. As a way to reduce cardiovascular diseases risk factors, the intake of antioxidants that come from a fruit and vegetable-rich diet or
Twenty healthy, non-vegetarian, non-smoking Caucasian men were included in the study. Inclusion criteria: men aged 40 to 70 years with a BMI of 25 to 35. Exclusion criteria: Metabolic disturbances, bariatric surgery, recent diet, food allergies or treatment with antibiotics. The study protocol was
This study will be conducted using a randomized, crossover design with six dietary phases: a low GI meal or a high GI meal with saturated fat, monounsaturated fat or polyunsaturated fat. All participants will be randomly allocated to the six test meals, with the order balanced. Fifteen participants
Many inflammatory responses can be modulated by specific dietary components. For example, in cardiovascular disease, macrophages and T-cells react with oxidized LDL (an endogenous modified antigen) to produce arterial plaque and subsequent blockage of coronary arteries. High intake of saturated fats
The following determinations will be made at baseline, mid-point, and end of each 20-week study period, as well as at one-year follow up:
General status, symptoms, and medication accounting. Participants will be asked to report changes in their health and medication use.
Disease Activity. The
The proposed study will be undertaken according to a double-blind randomized placebo controlled cross-over design with 3 treatment phases: 1- high DHA, 2- High EPA, 3- Control. Each treatment phase will last 10 weeks and will be separated by 8-week washouts. Participants will be randomized to one of
Participants This study was based on the baseline data from a randomised controlled trial aimed at the evaluation of the effects of 2- month consumption of a combination of bioactive food ingredients on changes in body composition, satiety control, thermogenesis, serum markers of lipolysis .
