Summary: In this study, long-term weight loss with exenatide treatment was similar to that achieved with a hypocaloric diet in a population of early high responders. Weight loss at 3 months of treatment predicted super responder status in both treatment groups, with individual variability observed in weight loss outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a hypocaloric diet under hospitalization in obese patients. The results showed that the diet led to weight reduction and improvements in blood biochemistry parameters, while not affecting muscle mass, liver, and thyroid profiles. Lower insulin levels and higher serum calcium and potassium levels were predictors of weight loss.

Summary: This narrative review summarizes the existing research on the clinical impact of a Mediterranean diet before and after bariatric surgery, focusing on its effects on weight loss and improvement in comorbidities. Although the current knowledge is limited, the findings suggest that adopting a Mediterranean diet before and after bariatric surgery is of significant value.

Summary: The number of obese people is increasing worldwide due to high-fat diets causing excess energy intake. A 12-week dietary intervention study on high-fat diet-induced obese mice showed that changing the diet significantly reduced weight gain and subcutaneous adipose tissue weight. Diet change also affected lipolysis, lipogenesis, and the proportion of adipocyte stem cells in different fat tissues.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of two isocaloric 24-week weight maintenance diets on metabolism and identified metabolite features associated with successful weight loss maintenance. It was found that the dietary fiber, protein, and fat content of the diet influenced amino acid and lipid metabolism, and increased abundance of certain phospholipids and free fatty acids was associated with better weight loss maintenance.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the weight management strategies used by Australian adults, their socio-demographic characteristics, and their association with 12-month weight change. The results showed that most participants used at least one weight management strategy, with exercise/physical activity being the most common. Being physically active was associated with greater weight loss, while accepting current bodyweight was linked to a lower likelihood of using weight management strategies. The use of supplements and fasting were associated with poorer mental health and quality of life outcomes.

Summary: In this clinical trial comparing PPT diet and MED diet in prediabetes patients, the PPT diet was found to significantly improve glycemic control by reducing the daily time with glucose levels >140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) and HbA(1c) levels compared to the MED diet. These results could have implications for dietary advice in clinical practice.

Summary: This study examined the impact of diet-induced weight loss on levels of the anorexigenic hormone neurotensin (NT) in mice and humans, and whether these levels predict body weight change. The results showed that diet-induced weight loss reduced NT levels in both mice and humans, and regulated hunger-related gene expression in mice. Additionally, individuals who continued to lose weight after weight loss had higher peak NT secretion compared to those who regained weight.

Summary: The aim of this study is to identify factors that predict weight loss success for diet interventions that vary by macronutrient and caloric composition. Completion of the intervention was found to be the most robust predictor of weight loss success, and other factors included age, physical activity level, blood leptin level, blood pressure, and the amount of weight loss occurring. Differences in cardiometabolic risk factor reduction were observed among different diet types. These findings provide evidence for more precise and personalized approaches to diet intervention for weight loss and cardiometabolic health.

Summary: There were significant differences in dietary habits and behaviors between maintainers and regainers, with maintainers showing a preference for eating home-cooked meals. The results from logistic regression models indicate that for each point increase in the Weight-Related Behaviors Index (WRBI) total score, the odds of successfully maintaining weight loss increase significantly.

Summary: Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) combined with a structured educational program can improve the quality of life and patient satisfaction in patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1). However, there was no significant improvement in other glycemic control parameters, except for the improvement in HbA1c and reduction in the number of hypoglycemic events.

This study evaluated the impact of protein content on the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and glycemic properties of wheat bran. The findings demonstrated that protein content significantly influenced these properties, and segregation of wheat bran based on protein content could enhance the efficiency of valorization processes.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of the rs1042714 genetic variant of ADRB2 gene on weight loss, body composition, and metabolic changes in women with obesity. The study found that the G allele of rs1042714 predicts the magnitude of weight loss resulting from a pMR diet, and these adiposity improvements lead to a better improvement of insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism in G allele carriers.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
