JOURNAL ARTICLE
Denise Tan, Adam Drewnowski, Kim-Anne Lê
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this study was to introduce novel metrics of dietary carbohydrates quality relevant for products and diets. RECENT FINDINGS: Carbohydrate quality has long been associated with a low glycemic index. More recently, novel metrics of carbohydrate quality featuring variations of total carbohydrates-fibers-free sugars ratios have been applied to carbohydrate-rich foods, including grains, beans, vegetables, and fruit. High scoring products had higher levels of health-promoting nutrients (protein, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, selenium, and various B-vitamins) and lower levels of nutrients of public health concern (total sugar, added/free sugars, and fat profile)...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heart failure is one the major causes of death worldwide and continues to increase despite therapeutics and pharmacology advances. Fatty acids and glucose are used as ATP-producing fuels in heart to meet its energy demands. However, dysregulation of metabolites' use plays a pivotal role in cardiac diseases. How glucose becomes toxic or drives cardiac dysfunction is incompletely understood. In the present review, we summarize the recent findings on cardiac cellular and molecular events that are driven by glucose during pathologic conditions and potential therapeutic strategies to tackle hyperglycemia-mediated cardiac dysfunction...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Fabiana A Hoffmann Sarda, Eliana Bistriche Giuntini
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glycemia goals are used as indicators of control and progression in prediabetes and diabetes. Adopting healthy eating habits is essential. It is worth considering the quality of carbohydrates to help with dietary glycemic control. The present article aims to review recent meta-analyses published in the years 2021-2022 on the effects of dietary fiber and low glycemic index/load (LGI/LGL) foods on glycemic control and how gut microbiome modulation contributes to glycemic control...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The ketogenic diet has been proposed as a nutritional strategy in sports. This review was undertaken to provide an overview of the recent literature concerning the effects of ketogenic diet on exercise performance and training adaptations. RECENT FINDINGS: Most recent literature on the ketogenic diet and exercise performance showed no beneficial effects, especially for trained individuals. During a period of intensified training, performance was clearly impaired during the ketogenic intervention, while a diet with high carbohydrates maintained physical performance...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Normand G Boulé, Jordan L Rees
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Exercise and diet are among the most studied behaviors that can affect blood glucose concentrations. Despite multiple studies examining these interventions in different populations and contexts, inconsistencies across studies have led to variable expectations. The purpose of this review is to more specifically examine how the timing of when exercise is performed in relation to meals can modify changes in glucose concentrations or insulin sensitivity. When possible, studies in type 2 diabetes are emphasized, but recent research in type 1 diabetes, obesity, and athletes is also considered...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Babitha Haridas
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The role of dietary carbohydrates in the management of epilepsy is intrinsically linked to the ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet has been in use for well over a century now. There have been numerous adaptations to the diet. It is crucial to understand the indications and role of the ketogenic diet in the management of epilepsy. RECENT FINDINGS: There have been new studies that have looked at the role of ketogenic ratios in seizure control. In addition, there has been new evidence in the role of using the ketogenic diet therapy instead of antiseizure medications...

#9
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Jia-Jia Wen, Ming-Zhi Li, Shao-Ping Nie
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Resistant starch has received much attention recently as a healthy carbohydrate component of the diet. Resistant starch is not digested in the small intestine and can thus affect the gut microbiota of the host because of its fermentability. This review summarizes the interactions along the resistant starch-gut microbiota-host axis to help understand the health effects of resistant starch. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies indicate that resistant starch can be a helpful dietary component for special disease states like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, constipation, and colitis...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Lee M Margolis, Stefan M Pasiakos
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Highlight contemporary evidence examining the effects of carbohydrate restriction on the intracellular regulation of muscle mass and anaerobic performance. RECENT FINDINGS: Low carbohydrate diets increase fat oxidation and decrease fat mass. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary carbohydrate restriction increases protein oxidation, thereby limiting essential amino acid availability necessary to stimulate optimal muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle recovery...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
James M Njunge, Judd L Walson
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Adequate nutrition is essential but insufficient for optimal childhood growth and development. Increasingly, it is clear that the gut microbiota modulates childhood growth and may be particularly important in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), where growth faltering, undernutrition, environmental contamination and enteric pathogens are more common. We summarize recent evidence demonstrating the role of the gut microbiota in impacting childhood growth and interventions targeting the gut microbiota to impact growth in children in LMIC settings...

REVIEW
Martha Ann Belury
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: As heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases continue to rise, identifying lifestyle modifications to prevent cardiometabolic disease (CMD) is urgently needed. Clinical evidence consistently shows that higher dietary or biomarker levels of linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n6) reduce metabolic syndrome (Mets) and reduce the risk for CMD. Yet, dietary recommendations to include LA as part of a lifestyle plan with the goal of preventing CMD remain elusive. RECENT FINDINGS: Clinical interventions consistently show that dietary the addition of LA to the diet improves body composition, dyslipidemia, and insulin sensitivity while reducing systemic inflammation and fatty liver...

REVIEW
Saame Raza Shaikh, Richard P Bazinet
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A central goal in the study of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is to translate findings from the basic sciences to the population level to improve human health and prevent chronic diseases. A tenet of this vision is to think in terms of precision medicine and nutrition, that is, stratification of individuals into differing groups that will have different needs across the lifespan for n-3 PUFAs. Therefore, there is a critical need to identify the sources of heterogeneity in the human population in the dietary response to n-3 PUFA intervention...

REVIEW
John M Miles
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Until recently, intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) have consisted of soybean oil (SO) only. This review addresses recent developments in the field, including the problem of intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD) that can occur with the use of ILEs in children and adults, and newer ILEs that may minimize and reverse IFALD. RECENT FINDINGS: Cholestasis is the primary manifestation of IFALD in premature infants receiving ILEs, whereas in older children and adults, steatosis is predominant...

REVIEW
Robert MacLaren
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Enteral administration of medications to critically ill patients may be advantageous to other routes of administration. This review summarizes key considerations for the bedside clinician when medications are administered through enteral access devices (EADs). RECENT FINDINGS: Critical illness is associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction that inconsistently affects drug dispersion and absorption and may enhance or reduce bioavailability. Other factors such as the first-pass metabolism, microbiome alterations and the concomitant use of other medications (vasopressors, acid suppressants) may influence drug absorption...
