Fish provides a valuable source of many essential nutrients. However, it is also one of the "Big Eight" allergenic foods that account for more than 90% of food allergic reactions, so reliable detection of its presence is crucial. The...
Leucine Metabolite, Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate (HMB) as an Intervention to Maintain Lean Body Mass and Performance during Sustained Military Operations
Soldiers in combat conduct sustained operations (SUSOPS) characterized by prolonged physical activity coupled with inadequate recovery and nutrition. This high operational tempo creates a catabolic condition in soldiers causing...
The Association of Leptin and Adiponectin with Bone and Body Composition during a Six Month Weight Loss Period in Overweight and Obese Postmenopausal Women
Osteoporosis and obesity are well-known public health concerns, particularly for postmenopausal women. Recently, an increasing research interest has been focused on the adipocyte-secreted hormones, leptin and adiponectin, as potential...
Uncorrected defects in the kinetochore-microtubule interaction lead to chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy, a phenotype found in over 90% of cancers. Therefore cells have developed different strategies to ensure chromosome bipolar...
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that negatively affect body composition. Studies have shown that resistance training (RT) and dried plum (DP) consumption may elicit positive body composition...
Weight loss therapy consisting of 20 to 30 lifestyle-modification group visits is associated with modest (4–8 kg) weight loss. (SOR A, based on homogeneous randomized controlled trials [RCTs].) For patients who participate in group...
Background: Body composition abnormalities are independent predictors of health outcomes in a variety of disease states. The simultaneous condition of low muscle mass and high fat mass, termed sarcopenic obesity, is an abnormal body...
According to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, fish is one of the eight major allergen foods. Reliable analytical methods for the detection of food ingredients derived from fish are important for the protection of...
Fish is classed as a major allergenic food under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), which requires accurate information on food allergens to be included in the label of food products. Fishmeal, a fish by...
The evaluation of an eating disorders prevention curriculum on eating attitudes and behaviors of female college students. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an academic college course on eating attitudes...
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that is characterized by the progressive degradation and loss of articular cartilage. The etiology of OA is complex; however, it is well known that advanced age is a major risk factor for...
Compared with low-fat diets, carbohydrate-restricted diets (eg, Atkins) produce more weight loss in the short term (at 6 months but not at 1 year) and produce a greater reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C). (SOR A, based on a...
Background: Osteoporosis and obesity are global health problems. Milk is high in n-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and calcium, all of which are regarded as health beneficial by promoting bone formation and...
The Relationship Between Nutritional Risk Factors, Nutritional Risk Indicators, and the Severity of Physical Disability within Older Adult Home Delivered Meal Program Participants
Science has established the existence of relationships between malnutrition and physical disability. Therefore, alleviating malnutrition may lead to prevention of physical disability and preservation of independent living. The purpose of...
The effects of multi-ingredient performance supplements (MIPS) on perceived soreness, strength, flexibility and vertical jump performance following eccentric exercise are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of...
Aspartame may be associated with headaches in susceptible individuals (SOR B, based on a small crossover study.) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is associated with a range of constitutional symptoms; however, with blinding, responses to MSG...
Plant seed flours are applied in several foods; still an extensive comparative study of seed flour functional properties has not been performed to date. Purpose of the current investigation was to assess functional properties of 16 full...
Background: Efforts to increase medical student knowledge regarding obesity are needed in medical school curriculum. This article examines a third year medical student intervention utilizing obesity group visits. Description: In our...
The Effect of Nighttime Macronutrient Choice and Exercise Training on Body Composition, Strength, Cardiovascular Health, Resting Metabolism, and Appetite in Overweight and Obese Adults
Background: Nighttime eating is often associated with metabolic syndrome and poor body composition and these conditions may be influenced by the natural decline in metabolism that occurs during sleep. However, only limited research has...
Dietary Calcium-to-Protein Ratio and Vitamin D Influence on Calcitropic Hormones, Adiposity, Adipokines, and Lipidemia in Caucasian and African American Postmenopausal Women Utilizing SEM Analysis
ABSTRACT Obesity is the top public health threat in the US and precedes cardiovascular disease. Little improvement in obesity incidence and prevalence has occurred in women greater than 40 years of age. Dietary calcium is known for its...
Purpose: The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the correlations of adiponectin, leptin, the adiponectin:leptin (A/L) ratio, insulin, BMI, glucose, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and waist circumference in women with PCOS, ...
The consumption of whole foods has shown to offer more synergistic health benefits as compared to foods made with highly processed ingredients. The American food industry has a variety of food products that consist of refined, isolated...
The Effects of Pre-and Post-Exercise Consumption of Multi Ingredient Performance Supplements on Cardiovascular Health and Body Composition in Trained Men after Six Weeks of Resistance Training
Background: The cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic health benefits or risks associated with consumption of multi-ingredient performance enhancing supplements (MIPS) in conjunction with periodized resistance training (RT) in resistance...
Cancer cachexia is a wasting syndrome that has been poorly characterized partly due to the lack of an adequate definition. In an attempt to establish diagnostic criteria, a formal consensus process was established, proposing three...
Periodization signifies an athletic training program with structured variations in training volume and intensity to elicit peak performance for a pre-determined date at the completion of the structured training program. A type of...
Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common of all psychiatric disorders; however, current human and animal research has yet to provide a clear understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying their etiology. Demographic...
The Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation on Arterial Stiffness, Pressure Wave Reflection, and Cardiac Autonomic Responses to Acute Cold Exposure with Isometric Exercise
Evidence from epidemiological studies indicates that the incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality peaks during the winter months. In fact, cold temperatures have been implicated as the putative factor associated with increased...
