Summary: This review provides an overview of physiological mechanisms involved in satiety and methodologies to assess food intake and satiety. It focuses on the differences between satiety and satiation, how the central nervous system regulates food intake and satiety, the impact of different macronutrients on satiety, and how the manipulation of food composition can influence overall satiety. Bringing together this knowledge on satiety mechanisms is useful for understanding and controlling obesity and other eating disorders.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of high phosphate diet on body composition and energy metabolism parameters. The results show that mice fed a high phosphate diet have slower weight gain, increased lean-to-fat mass ratio, and fasting hypoglycemia. This research provides important insights into the impact of high phosphate intake on the body.

Summary: Achieving proper postprandial glycemic control is crucial for preventing and managing diabetes, but limited data is available on the precise effect of macronutrients due to food structure. This study formulated 7 nutrition shakes with balanced macronutrients and similar structures but different protein, oil, carbohydrate, and fiber sources. The results showed that soybean protein and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) decreased blood glucose levels compared to sodium caseinate and long-chain triglycerides (LCT) respectively. Maltodextrin decreased peak blood glucose levels and maltodextrin + whey protein and MCT + whey protein + syrup + fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) showed reduced food intake.

Summary: Obesity is a complex disease that is becoming more prevalent worldwide. Recent research suggests that changes in gut microbiota, influenced by the consumption of dietary fats, play a key role in the development of obesity. These alterations in gut microbiota can affect important satiation signals, leading to hyperphagia and obesity. This review discusses the mechanisms by which gut microbiota influences satiation signals, the effects of dietary interventions on gut microbiota and satiety signals, and microbiota optimizing therapies to combat obesity.

Summary: This systematic review examined the relationship between macronutrient intake and weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS). Eight articles involving 2,378 subjects were included, and the results indicated that protein intake was positively associated with weight loss after BS. Prioritizing protein followed by carbohydrates and reducing lipid intake favored weight loss and weight stability after BS. The review suggests that a high-protein diet (>60 g to 90 g/day) may be beneficial for weight loss and maintenance after BS, but a balance of other macronutrients is also important.

Summary: Caloric restriction induces similar weight loss in aging mice regardless of the diet's macronutrient composition. After caloric restriction, an high-fat diet leads to excessive energy intake and significant gain in body fat during the refeeding phase.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of replacing 50% of the daily forage allowance with good quality wheat straw on gastric ulcers, metabolic profile, and behavior of horses. The results showed that this practice does not cause gastric ulcers, but can extend feeding time and promote a metabolic profile more suitable for overweight horses.

Summary: Measuring and leveraging food motives and values are essential in improving dietary outcomes, as they can help create personalized approaches, inform intervention content, elucidate differences in data analysis, and tailor public health nutrition messages. Each measure has strengths and shortcomings to consider for informing nutritional recommendations at different levels.

Summary: The systematic review found that increasing protein intake can have a moderate beneficial effect on body weight management. Additionally, individuals with prediabetes or without obesity risk alleles were found to benefit more from a high-protein diet.

Summary: Broiler chickens eat more and grow faster than layer chickens, but excessive body fat accumulation due to hyperphagia is a serious issue. Understanding the complex mechanism of food intake regulation in chickens, particularly the role of peripheral hormones, is crucial for addressing the problem of broiler chicken obesity.

Summary: The study found that caloric restriction is crucial for improving body composition and glucose control in obese mice, while different macronutrient distributions in the diet have varying effects on weight loss. A low-carbohydrate-high-fat diet is more effective in reducing triacylglycerol levels, while low-fat and high-protein diets show more significant improvements in glucose tolerance and blood total cholesterol levels during caloric restriction.

Summary: This study aimed to identify gene-diet interactions (GDIs) impacting the macronutrient-glycemia relationship in genetically and culturally diverse cohorts. It was found that higher carbohydrate intake was associated with slightly lower glycemic trait values. A common African ancestry-enriched variant reached study-wide significance and replicated in the UK Biobank, suggesting that a large sample size is necessary for identifying similar macronutrient GDIs.

Summary: This study examines the association between self-perception of macronutrient intake and mood in young females. The results show a significant inverse association between macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and abnormal anxiety. Lower omega-3 intake is also associated with abnormal anxiety and abnormal depression. Increased calorie intake is linked to higher anxiety scores.

Summary: This systematic review examined the association between a vegetarian diet and mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and stress. The results from 13 publications were analyzed, including four cohort studies and nine cross-sectional studies. The findings suggest that there is no significant association between a vegetarian diet and depression or anxiety. However, due to insufficient data, the relationship with stress could not be determined. Further cohort studies are needed to explore the effects of a vegetarian diet on mental health outcomes.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally and is linked to diet. Limited evidence exists regarding the relationship between dietary patterns and cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults. A cross-sectional study revealed that an unhealthy diet is associated with increased odds of obesity and high LDL cholesterol, while a healthy diet is associated with decreased odds of high blood sugar and increased odds of high LDL cholesterol in older adults.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in brain function through the gut-brain axis. This review highlights the effects of gut microbiota-derived dietary metabolites on cell-to-cell interactions in the central nervous system, particularly microglia, astrocytes, and neuronal cells, affecting cognitive function, mood, and behavior. The review also discusses the potential of diet-induced microbial metabolite-based therapies as novel approaches to mental health treatment.
