Net O(2) uptake was measured from maximal-effort 3-set, 8-repetition seated leg press protocols on an isoinertial ergometer. Subjects (25 women, 9 men) did 2 workouts each exerting concentric-eccentric (CE) and concentric-only (CO) knee extensor forces to measure work and net caloric cost. Significant (p < 0.05) relationships between work and net caloric cost resulted from CE and CO workouts for the male, female, and total subject sample. Two-way repeated-measures analyses of variance showed CE workouts resulted in significantly higher work but not net caloric cost and values. CE workouts likely relied on the knee extensors series elastic element to perform an additional approximately 3,600 J of eccentric work at no additional net caloric cost. Unlike other exercise modes, maximal-effort eccentric actions on the isoinertial ergometer, as done in the current study, provide no additional net caloric cost and is thus safe to administer to populations in whom metabolic cost is a concern.

Development and Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of Healthy Ketogenic Diet Versus Energy-Restricted Diet on Weight Loss in Adults with Obesity.

: The ketogenic diet (KD) is widely used for weight management by reducing appetite, enhancing fat oxidation, and facilitating weight loss. However, the high content of total and saturated fats in a conventional KD may elevate low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels, a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the need for healthier alternatives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a newly developed Healthy Ketogenic Diet (HKD) versus an Energy-Restricted Diet (ERD) on weight loss and metabolic outcomes among adults with obesity.

Sepsis leads to an acute breakdown of muscle to support increased caloric and amino acid requirements. Little is known about the role of adipose and muscle tissue breakdown and intestinal metabolism in glucose substrate supply during the acute phase of sepsis. In a translational porcine model of sepsis, we explored the across organ net fluxes of gluconeogenic substrates.

Background: The use of pre-operative very low-calorie diets (VLCD) is established within bariatric and gallbladder surgery. However, their use in patients with high BMI and hepatic steatosis (HS) requiring upper abdominal procedures is unclear. This review aims to assess the safety, adherence, and outcomes of a pre-operative VLCD prior to non-bariatric elective surgery.

Background: Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) are rare and potentially life-threatening diseases that cause deficient energy production and accumulation of toxic metabolites. Despite dietary management, adherence to maximum fasting guidelines, restricted long-chain triglyceride intake and supplementation with medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil (current standard of care), most patients experience recurrent decompensation episodes that can require hospitalisation. Herein, we analysed the effectiveness and safety of triheptanoin (a highly purified, synthetic medium odd-chain triglyceride) treatment in a cohort of Italian patients with LC-FAOD.
