In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing a distinguished alternative to human consumption of animal-based proteins. The application of lentil proteins in the food industry is typically limited due to their poor solubility and digestibility. An innovative method of balancing lentil-whey protein (LP-WP) complexes with higher-quality protein properties was established to address this issue, which coupled a pH-shifting approach with fermentation treatment.

- - The study aims to investigate the lipid profiles in early 2nd trimester amniotic fluid of healthy normal-weight mothers who have either large-for-gestational age (LGA) or appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) infants, while also examining the relationship between lipid profiles and insulin/glucose levels.
- - Researchers analyzed bio-banked amniotic fluid samples using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, comparing 15 LGA infants to 15 AGA infants and identified significant differences, including higher levels of specific phosphatidic acid species in LGA samples.
- - The results suggest that even in healthy normal-weight mothers, there are early signs of disrupted lipid metabolism when carrying LGA infants, with no correlation found
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant health issue for Kuwaiti women, and this study explores how dietary magnesium and fiber might influence its occurrence.
- The research involved 170 women aged 18-65 and utilized food frequency questionnaires alongside biochemical tests to understand their dietary habits and metabolic health.
- Results showed that lower intakes of magnesium and fiber were associated with higher prevalence of MetS, indicating that enhancing these dietary components could help reduce MetS risk among this population.
