Background: Recently, we reported that longer-term mixed nut intake significantly reduced serum total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, but these markers may not fully capture lipoprotein-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Objectives: This randomized, controlled, single-blinded, crossover trial in older adults with overweight or obesity examined the effects of longer-term mixed nut consumption on lipoprotein particle size, number, and lipid distribution.
Methods: Twenty-eight participants (aged 65 ± 3 years; BMI 27.
Purpose: The dietary egg-protein hydrolysate Newtricious (NWT)-03 has previously demonstrated improvements in blood pressure and metabolic profiles. However, the long-term effects on vascular function and cardiometabolic risk markers are unknown.
Methods: Forty-four older (aged 60-75) adults with overweight/obesity experiencing elevated Subjective Cognitive Failures (SCF) were randomized into a 36-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical and biometric factors leading to a prediction error related to lens position in pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods: This study was conducted as a consecutive retrospective case series at the Department of Ophthalmology, Montpellier University Hospital. All medical files and PCI biometrical reports from a single surgeon were reviewed from 2017 to 2019.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the long-term effects of eating almonds on vascular health and blood pressure in people with obesity and prediabetes.
- Thirty-four participants went through a trial where they consumed 50g of almonds daily for five months, with measurements taken on vascular function and inflammatory markers before and after the intervention.
- Results showed that while almond consumption did not significantly change arterial stiffness or various serum markers, it did lower overall blood pressure and its variability, suggesting potential benefits for managing blood pressure without affecting arterial health.
A well-functioning immune system requires balanced immune responses. studies have shown that plant stanols contribute to restoring the T-helper (Th)1/Th2 ratio when it is imbalanced. However, effects of plant stanols on healthy immune responses are unknown.
