Intermittent fasting modulates human gut microbiota diversity in a phenotype-dependent manner: a systematic review.

Cumulative evidence suggests that intermittent fasting (IF) has beneficial effects on human metabolic health. It has been indicated that its impact on the gut microbiota may mediate these beneficial effects. As a result, we hypothesized that IF may impact the human gut microbiota.

Characteristics of wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.) and soybean powder jelly for emergency food alternatives.

The substitution of wood apple juice and soybean powder in the seaweed jelly product can be used as an alternative to emergency supplementary feeding (ESF) for children under five years of age, which contains high protein, fiber, and calories. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding wood apple juice and soybean powder to the nutrition content, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, total phenol, antioxidant activity, acceptability, and shelf-life of seaweed jelly products. This study was an experimental study with a completely randomized design with two treatment factors, which consisted of making seaweed jelly products with three different ratios of wood apple juice and soybean powder, 60:40 (F1), 50:50 (F2), and 40:60 (F3), dried at 40 °C (T1) and 50 °C (T2).

Mangrove fruit () increases circulating GLP-1 and PYY, modulates lipid profiles, and reduces systemic inflammation by improving SCFA levels in obese wistar rats.

(BG) has potential as a functional food because of its dietary fibre content and bioactive components such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds. However, it is not studied in the context of diet-related disease prevention. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of fruit flour (BGF) on satiety hormone, lipid profile, systemic inflammation, body weight, and caecum SCFA levels in diet-induced obese rats.

Fermented soybean enhances post-meal response in appetite-regulating hormones among Indonesian girls with obesity.

Objective: To assess the post-meal response in appetite-regulating hormones acyl-ghrelin and insulin after fermented soybean (tempeh) consumption in girls with obesity.

Methods: A randomized counter-balanced crossover study was conducted using a breakfast (307 kcal, protein: 28%, fat: 23%, and carbohydrate: 55%) containing fermented soybean or isocaloric non-fermented soybean among 13 females (aged 18-20 y; BMI 25-30) after an overnight fast. The outcome variables were plasma acyl-ghrelin, insulin, arginine and score of the visual analog scale (VAS) appetite questionnaire.

The Impact of Weight Loss Program in Metabolic Profile and Body Fat Improvement among Indonesian Young Obese: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Abdominal obesity is defined as an accumulation visceral fat in abdomen region. It is linked to metabolic disorders that contribute to chronic diseases. Triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ratio is considered as an insulin resistance (IR) marker.

The Prospect for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Combined with Exercise and Synbiotics: A Perspective.

Change in gut microbiome diversity (the so-called dysbiosis) is correlated with insulin resistance conditions. Exercise is typically the first management for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is generally well-known for improving glucose regulation. The new prebiotics and probiotics, like synbiotics, designed to target specific diseases, require additional studies.
