Antiobesity and Hypolipidemic Potential of Extract in Overweight/Obese Women: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of extract (NRE) in reducing weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat composition (BF), and anthropometric parameters among overweight/obese women, comparing the results with those of a placebo group. Overweight/obese individuals participated in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Body weight, BMI, body composition, and anthropometric parameters were assessed.

Exploring the Effects of Short-Term Daily Intake of Tea on Lipid Profile: A Pre-Post, Uncontrolled Pilot Study in Both Healthy and Overweight/Obese Adults.

In the present study, we aimed to explore the feasibility, compliance, and potential benefits of extract (NRE) intervention in both healthy (BMI ≤ 24.9 Kg/m) and overweight/obese adults (BMI > 25 Kg/m). A total of 98 participants, including 37 healthy individuals and 61 overweight/obese adults, were randomly assigned to either a low-dose (500 mg/day) or a high-dose (2000 mg/day) NRE intervention group.

Chemical characteristics and cancer risk assessment of smokeless tobacco used in Tunisia (neffa).

Introduction: neffa, a form of air-dried smokeless tobacco used in North Africa, is spuriously perceived as a lower risk alternative to smoking. The objective of this study was to provide information on some harmful constituents of neffa and to use them for cancer risk assessment.

Methods: a high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with fluorescence detector was used to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in one sample of neffa.

Glutathione-S-transferase genetic polymorphism and risk of hepatotoxicity to antitubercular drugs in a North-African population: A case-control study.

Introduction: GST non-functional genotypes can lead to the accumulation of toxic intermediates, resulting in liver damage and increasing susceptibility to ATDH.

Aim: To investigate the impact of GST Mu (GSTM1), GST Theta (GSTT1) null genotypes, and GST Pi (GSTP1; adenosine (A) > guanine (G), rs1695) variant allele on the development of ATDH in Tunisian patients treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy.

Methods: This was a case-control study including patients receiving anti-tuberculosis regimen.
