Excessive fructose consumption is associated with the incidence of obesity and systemic inflammation, resulting in increased oxidative stress and damage to the function of brain structures. Thus, we hypothesized that fructose consumption will significantly increase inflammation, oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in the mouse brain and, consequently, memory damage. The effects of different fructose concentrations on inflammatory and biochemical parameters in the mouse brain were evaluated. Male Swiss mice were randomized into four groups: control, with exclusive water intake, 5%, 10% and 20% fructose group...

Severe obesity in adolescence negatively impacts upon health and wellbeing. Lifestyle modifications do not usually achieve a sufficient degree or durability of weight loss to mitigate the risk of medical complications. In recent years, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), already a well-established treatment for adults with severe obesity, has emerged as an option in adolescents. Controlled studies in this age group have demonstrated substantial and sustained weight loss, improvements in associated health parameters, and a safety profile surpassing that observed in adult patients...

Radiotherapy for breast cancer has attracted attention in Western countries because radiation to the heart can cause cardiac events. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the relationship between radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery and the frequency of cardiac events in Japanese patients and to investigate the risk factors of cardiac events after postoperative radiotherapy in those patients. Female patients who received postoperative radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery between 2007 and 2012 at our hospital were evaluated...

BACKGROUND: Glucose variability increases cardiometabolic disease risk. While many factors can influence glucose levels, postprandial glucose response is the primary driver of glucose variability. Furthermore, affect may directly and indirectly impact glucose variability through its effect on eating behavior. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) facilitate the real-time evaluation of blood glucose, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) can be used to assess affect in real time. Together, data collected from these sources provide the opportunity to further understand the role of affect in glucose levels...
