BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder that is related to hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia and liver dysfunction and has detrimental effects on a patient's mental health. Hence, the current study investigated the effects of saffron supplementation on dietary intake, anthropometric measures, mood, sleep quality and metabolic biomarkers in overweight/obese patients with T2D. METHODS: In a double-blind, randomised controlled trial, 70 overweight/obese patients with T2D were randomly allocated to two groups and received 100 mg/day saffron or placebo for 8 weeks...

BACKGROUND: Individuals with insulin resistance (IR) have a high risk of diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and they are more likely to have depression. Furthermore, IR by itself is a major cardiovascular risk factor in healthy persons. Thus, we aimed to investigate IR in association with thyroid function, psychoemotional state, and cardiovascular risk factors among 45-84-year-old citizens of Palanga. METHODS: A randomized epidemiological study was performed with 850 subjects...

BACKGROUND: Improving sleep quality and reducing depressive symptoms may be target mechanisms for intervention-based research aimed at reducing cardiometabolic risk in low-income communities. This study assessed the effects of exercise training on depressive symptoms and sleep in obese women for a low socioeconomic community. The secondary aim explored associations between changes in depressive symptoms and sleep with changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk factors...

Preliminary evidence shows the potential role of probiotics in ameliorating multiple sclerosis (MS); however, the effects of probiotics on MS remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics on multiple sclerosis by systematically reviewing the preclinical trials (animal trials) and performing meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane central of randomized clinical trials, EMBASE, Clinical Trials, and a search engine Google Scholar were systematically searched and manually screened updated to November 2020, resulting in eligible 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 22 preclinical studies...

BACKGROUND: Overweight before pregnancy is independent risk factor for diabetes mellitus. This randomized controlled trial was to investigate the long-term effects of regular exercise during pregnancy on overweight and obese gravidas. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled test will be conducted in Wuhan Central Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Overweight and obese pregnant women will be included in our study and randomized into 2 groups: regular exercise and control groups...

Accumulating evidence suggests that disrupted insulin signaling is involved in bipolar disorder (BD) pathogenesis. Herein, we aimed to directly explore the potential role of neuronal insulin signaling using an innovative technique based on biomarkers derived from plasma extracellular vesicles enriched for neuronal origin (NEVs). We leveraged plasma samples from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week clinical trial evaluating infliximab as a treatment of bipolar depression. We isolated NEVs using immunoprecipitation against neuronal marker L1CAM from samples collected at baseline and weeks 2, 6 and 12 (endpoint) and measured NEV biomarkers using immunoassays...

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological studies indicate an association between type 2 diabetes and cognitive dysfunction that appear to start already in the prediabetic state. Although cross-sectional studies have linked insulin resistance to impaired cognition, the potential predictive value of insulin resistance has not yet been sufficiently studied longitudinally without confounding by overt diabetes (and its pharmacological treatment). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We investigated longitudinal data from participants of the 'Tübinger Evaluation of Risk Factors for Early Detection of Neurodegeneration' Study...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness interventions have demonstrated improvement in depression, anxiety, and glycemic control. We assessed whether these treatment modalities have shown usefulness in adolescents with T2D or at risk for T2D. RECENT FINDINGS: Data are limited on the use of the abovementioned therapeutic interventions and include only adolescent girls at risk for T2D...

High fructose intake has been associated with perturbed lipid, uric acid and lactate homeostasis. However, consumption of fructose-sweetened beverages is not usually regulated during pregnancy. The effect of short-chain fatty acid (acetate) on the metabolic effects of high fructose intake during pregnancy is not known. We hypothesized that acetate prevents gestational fructose-induced hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation by suppressing uric acid and lactate production. Pregnant Wistar rats were randomly separated into three groups(n = 6/group) receiving drinking water (CON), 10% (w/v) fructose drink (FRU) and 10% (w/v) fructose with 200 mg/kg (w/w; p...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal combined oral contraceptive (COC) on dams that were exposed to late gestational glucocorticoids (GC). Twenty-four pregnant female rats were randomly allotted into 4 groups of 6 dams each. Dams received COC (combination of 1.0 μg ethinylestradiol and 5.0 μg levonorgestrel p.o.) between 3rd and 11th week after delivery with or without prior exposure to GC (dexamethasone; 0.2 mg/kg p.o.) that was administered between gestational days 14-19. Data showed that late-gestational GC exposure led to insulin resistance (IR), increased cardiac adenosine deaminase (ADA), xanthine oxidase (XO), lactate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and disrupted cardiac glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-dependent antioxidant defenses...

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the impact of melatonin supplementation on clinical and metabolic profiles in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent women's health condition with reproductive, metabolic, and psychological manifestations. Weight loss can improve these symptoms and is a key goal; however, many women find this difficult to achieve. Acupuncture is a Chinese medical treatment that involves insertion of very fine metal needles into specific areas of the body and has been shown to be efficacious for weight loss in non-PCOS populations. However, few studies have been conducted in women with PCOS...

BACKGROUND: Current recommendations for treating obesity in adolescence include a comprehensive approach (nutritional, behavioral, and exercise). Calcarea carbonica ostrearum ( CCO ) is a homeopathic medicine usually prescribed in obese individuals, but its effects on weight and body fat are not completely known. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic CCO , in addition to a multidisciplinary intervention (diet, motivational support, and exercise program), on body fat and weight in obese adolescents...

BACKGROUND: A prediabetic state is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. There are no approved drugs to manage prediabetes. Among the supplements routinely used by individuals, vitamin D and omega-3 have been studied to reduce fasting blood sugar. However, their co-supplementation has not been studied in individuals with prediabetes. This randomized controlled trial is designed to determine the effects of these two supplements on fasting blood sugar, other cardio metabolic risk factors, and psychological distress in reproductive-aged women with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D...

BACKGROUND: Emerging research suggests that increasing physical activity can help improve cognition among breast cancer survivors. However, little is known about the mechanism through which physical activity impacts cancer survivors' cognition. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this secondary analysis examined physical and psychological function potentially linking physical activity with changes in cognition among breast cancer survivors in a randomized controlled trial where the exercise arm had greater improvements in cognition than the control arm...
