Does the Ketogenic Diet Mediate Inflammation Markers in Obese and Overweight Adults? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

The ketogenic diet has emerged as a potential treatment strategy for reducing inflammation. The purpose of this meta-analysis and systematic review is to look into how a ketogenic diet affects inflammatory biomarkers in persons who are overweight or obese. .

Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (ASMM) and Fat-Free Mass (FFM) DXA-BIA Estimations for the Early Identification of Sarcopenia/Low Muscle Mass in Middle-Aged Women.

Background/objectives: Sarcopenia involves the loss of muscle mass along with a decrease in muscle strength and physical performance. The aim of this paper was to compare the already published BIA equations for the estimation of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (ASMM) and Fat-Free Mass (FFM) with dual X-ray densitometer DXA estimations in order to determine whether Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) could be a feasible application on a general population for the detection of low muscle mass and sarcopenia.

Methods: Seventy-nine healthy women aged 40-70 years were included.

Positive Outcomes of Supplementation with Lecithin-Based Delivery Formulation of and in IBS Subjects with Small Bowel Dysbiosis.

Background: Small bowel dysbiosis (SBD) is a frequent finding in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The sunflower lecithin (phytosome) formulation of and demonstrated beneficial effects on intestinal microbiota. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a lecithin-based delivery formulation of and extracts (CUBO) on SBD in IBS subjects.

Bergamot (), a (Poly)Phenol-Rich Source for Improving Osteosarcopenic Obesity: A Systematic Review.

This systematic review investigates the potential of bergamot, a polyphenol-rich citrus fruit, in improving osteosarcopenic obesity, a condition characterized by the simultaneous presence of osteoporosis, obesity, and sarcopenia. Bergamot extracts have been suggested to possess several pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which could be useful in the management of age-related diseases and neuromuscular health. The review highlights the promising effects of bergamot extracts on skeletal muscle mass and function, particularly in the context of obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteosarcopenic obesity, and osteoporosis.

Dietary Intake of Polyphenols and All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

Polyphenols are secondary metabolites found in plants, foods, and drinks, occurring in small quantities and showcasing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. The primary polyphenols consist of flavonoids, phenolic acids, stilbenes, and lignans. However, there is currently no comprehensive quantitative analysis of epidemiological data on overall death rates.
