Low-calorie, high-protein diets, regardless of protein source, improve glucose metabolism and cardiometabolic profiles in subjects with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity.

January 2025
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of two low-calorie, high-protein diets—one with animal protein (HPA) and one with plant protein (HPP)—on health outcomes for individuals with overweight, obesity, and glucose metabolism disorders.
- A total of 117 participants were assigned to either diet for six months, with both diets including a balanced distribution of calories from fats and carbohydrates.
- Results showed that both diets led to significant weight loss and improvements in body composition, glucose levels, and overall cardiometabolic health, regardless of whether the protein sources were plant or animal based.
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) may paradoxically increase the risk of mortality, prompting an investigation into its association with death in individuals with high cholesterol.
- A study of 2,992 subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia tracked mortality over an average of 10.2 years, revealing that those with low HDLc had a significantly higher risk of death compared to those with high HDLc.
- Despite these findings, when accounting for other major cardiovascular risk factors, HDLc levels were not independently linked to total, cardiovascular, or non-cardiovascular mortality.
Effect of Aromatic Herbs and Spices Present in the Mediterranean Diet on the Glycemic Profile in Type 2 Diabetes Subjects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Nutrients
March 2024
Background: The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is the dietary pattern par excellence for managing and preventing metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). The MedDiet incorporates spices and aromatic herbs, which are abundant sources of bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of all aromatic herbs and spices included in the MedDiet, such as black cumin, clove, parsley, saffron, thyme, ginger, black pepper, rosemary, turmeric, basil, oregano, and cinnamon, on the glycemic profile in T2DM subjects.

Our aim was to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Aragon region of Spain.
Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective study, which included data from all patients diagnosed with active T2D or dyslipidemia in Aragon during 2019-2021.
Background: Game-based learning (GBL) is effective for increasing participation, creativity, and student motivation. However, the discriminative value of GBL for knowledge acquisition has not yet been proven. The aim of this study is to assess the value of Kahoot! as a discriminative tool for formative assessment in medical education in two different subjects.
