Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of fermented foods on metabolic outcomes in patients with diabetes and prediabetes. The results showed a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance, total cholesterol, low density lipid cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group. Fermented foods have the potential to improve metabolic outcomes in patients with diabetes and prediabetes.

Summary: Both long-term and short-term capsaicin supplementation do not have significant effects on blood glucose and insulin levels. The dose and ingestion form of capsaicin may contribute to the heterogeneity between studies.

Summary: The study revealed that fasting or energy-restricting diets significantly decrease fasting blood sugars, insulin, and insulin resistance levels, with modest effects on HbA1c levels. Overweight or obese individuals on energy-restricting diets for more than 8 weeks showed greater reductions in FBS, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels compared to other subgroups.

Summary: This meta-analysis confirms the beneficial impact of resistance training (RT) on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Additionally, the study identifies critical training parameters that are important for enhancing HbA1c and FBG reductions.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the relationships among muscle fibre type composition, perfusion, and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake rates in healthy lean individuals and those with obesity. Results showed that obesity-associated insulin resistance is generalized across all major muscles and is not influenced by alterations in muscle fibre type composition or perfusion. Additionally, insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose disposal relative to fat-free mass serves as a reliable indicator of muscle glucose uptake rate.

Summary: Home-based resistance training (UHBRT) shows safety and modest effectiveness in improving lower-limb muscle strength, balance, and muscle power in community-dwelling older adults. However, its impact on other physical fitness measures, quality of life, and falls remains inconclusive, requiring further evidence for definite conclusions.

Summary: Whole grain intake is associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. This study suggests that whole grain intake improves short-term glycemia and insulinemia, which may contribute to better long-term glycemic control. Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of whole grain intake.

Summary: Pilates has beneficial effects on blood glucose and lipids for diabetic patients but not for non-diabetic individuals. When combined with medication and dietary treatments, Pilates shows a more significant reduction in post-prandial blood glucose and HbA1c for diabetic patients.

Summary: This meta-analysis investigated the effects of long-term exercise training on inflammatory biomarkers in healthy subjects. The results showed that long-term exercise training led to a significant decrease in levels of interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Subgroup analysis revealed that longer duration and moderate intensity exercise had greater anti-inflammatory effects. Meta-regression analysis found that the reduction in C-reactive protein levels was weakened with increasing exercise intensity.

Summary: This study reviewed 29 clinical trials and found that supplementation of grapes/grape products could significantly reduce insulin resistance in adults. However, it did not have a significant impact on fasting insulin and hemoglobin A1C levels. Further large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study found that exercise intervention can significantly increase ucOC and adiponectin levels, while decreasing leptin, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR. Additionally, exercise-induced increases in ucOC are likely the cause of increased adiponectin levels, and further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this impact.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, we found that the co-administration of 17-beta-estradiol and norethisterone acetate has a positive impact on glycated hemoglobin, fasting glucose, insulin, and C-peptide concentrations in females. Future research is needed to confirm the potential benefits of this drug combination in the prevention and/or management of cardiometabolic disorders.

Summary: The study compared the effects of strength training (ST) with other exercise programs on the number of falls in older adults, finding no significant difference. Evidence was of low certainty, with no dose-response relationship established, indicating the need for further research to draw more robust conclusions.

Summary: This study evaluated the beneficial effects of sodium butyrate (NaB) and sodium propionate (NaP) on fatty acid oxidation (FAO) genes and proinflammatory cytokine production related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The results showed that NaP and NaB promoted FAO, regulated lipolysis, and reduced reactive oxygen species production in HepG2 cells. NaP and NaB also increased the mRNA expression of key genes related to FAO in different models. Additionally, only NaP treatment significantly decreased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) expression in LPS-induced HepG2 cells. The findings suggest that NaP and NaB have potential for further in vivo studies on NAFLD.

Summary: Early childhood education (ECE) settings have a significant impact on child dietary intake and excess weight gain. Policy, systems, and environment (PSE) approaches can effectively reduce disparities in children at higher risk for obesity. This review identified various ECE interventions, with a majority focusing on populations at higher risk for obesity. Ten studies demonstrated effectiveness in improving diet or reducing obesity in these populations, highlighting the importance of longer interventions and multiple PSE components. Collaboration with parents and communities is recommended to enhance child health.

Summary: This study used a longitudinal approach to examine the bidirectional relationship between moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and depressive symptomatology in adolescents. The results showed that adolescents with less time spent in SB had lower depressive symptomatology at follow-up. Therefore, limiting time spent in SB in adolescence may improve future mental health.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of an orlistat mouth rinse on the intake of a high-fat meal. The results showed that the orlistat mouth rinse decreased total and fat calories consumed during the high-fat meal in high-fat consumers, but did not alter calories consumed in low-fat consumers (P < 0.05).

Summary: Insulin is secreted in pulses to regulate blood glucose levels. In type 2 diabetes, irregularities in insulin secretion occur. Native Americans have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and are genetically predisposed to low beta-cell function. A retrospective chart review of metabolic outcomes in Native Americans showed improvements after physiologic hormone administration, suggesting the need for further investigation in randomized controlled trials.

Summary: This study examined the safety of soybean products in Western diets and conducted a dose-escalating clinical trial in older adults with obesity. The results showed that consuming less than 30g of soybean flour per day is beneficial for cardiovascular and overall health, and can reduce the dependence on other food groups and nutrients in older adults with obesity.
