Meal timing and obesity: interactions with macronutrient intake and chronotype
Meal timing and obesity: interactions with macronutrient intake and chronotype
Timing of dietary intake may play a role in obesity. However, previous studies produced mixed findings possibly due to inconsistent approaches to characterize meal timing and not taking into account chronotype and macronutrients. To address the aforementioned limitations, we have defined meal timing relative to sleep/wake timing, investigated the relationship between meal timing and body... Read more Read more
High-fat diet linked to unfavorable gut microbiota changes
High-fat diet linked to unfavorable gut microbiota changes
Eating a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates can lead to changes in the gut at the microbiome level that could lead to the development of metabolic disorders, according to study results published in Gut. Source: High-fat diet linked to unfavorable gut microbiota Read more

Serum catestatin may predict metabolic, CV risk in children, adolescents
Serum catestatin may predict metabolic, CV risk in children, adolescents
Children and adolescents with obesity have lower levels of serum catestatin — an endogenous peptide found to be negatively associated with blood pressure level and insulin resistance — compared with children and adolescents with normal weight, according to findings published in Pediatric Diabetes.

Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift
Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift
Current guidelines recommend that “overweight” and “obese” individuals lose weight through engaging in lifestyle modification involving diet, exercise and other behavior change. This approach reliably induces short term weight loss, but the majority of individuals are unable to maintain weight loss over the long term and do not achieve the putative benefits of improved morbidity...

Investigators wanted to discover whether there was an association between treatment choices for diabetes and dementia. They performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of Read more
No CV benefit to tight glycemic control in diabetes with heart disease
No CV benefit to tight glycemic control in diabetes with heart disease
Investigators analysed a subset of people living with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) to see whether intensive glucose control, versus standard of care, improved cardiovascular outcomes. Their literature review concluded that there was no difference in the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and CVD allocated to intensive... Read more Read more
