Monounsaturated fat-rich diet reduces body adiposity in women with obesity, but does not influence energy expenditure and substrate oxidation: a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial.

April 2024
Background: Obesity is an important and growing health problem whose treatment involves dietary changes. In this context, studying the role of macronutrients in weight loss is required in order to understand which strategies may be applied for weight loss. We aimed to evaluate the effects of diets rich in polyunsaturated (PUFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) on resting energy expenditure (REE), substrate oxidation, and weight loss in women with obesity.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate polyphenol intake in women with different classes of obesity and identify which are consumed more frequently and what the food sources are.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 114 women with obesity. The study evaluated polyphenol intake via a 3-d food record using Phenol-Explorer.
Influence of the body mass and visceral adiposity on glucose metabolism in obese women with Pro12Pro genotype in PPARgamma2 gene.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how body mass (BM) and visceral fat (VA) affect glucose metabolism in morbidly obese women with the Pro12Pro genotype.
- It involved 25 women divided into two groups based on their body mass index (BMI), with assessments of glucose and insulin responses after a high-fat meal.
- Results showed that women with higher BM and VA had worse glucose metabolism, indicated by impaired fasting glucose, lower insulin sensitivity, and higher insulin resistance.
