Summary: This overview summarizes the positive effects of exercise training on weight loss and body composition changes in overweight or obese adults, showing significant reductions in fat and visceral fat. Resistance training can help reduce muscle mass loss during weight loss. However, exercise did not show significant effects on weight maintenance.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and hospitalization, survival, and acute exacerbation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study found that malnutrition at diagnosis was associated with all-cause hospitalization and mortality, while decreased food intake was associated with an increased risk of hospitalization and mortality.

Summary: Over the years, research on nut consumption has shown that nuts can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Despite their high fat content, nuts do not cause weight gain. This review discusses factors such as food composition, digestive impact, and appetite regulation related to energy intake from nuts.

Summary: This study compared the effects of two different exercise training types during a ketogenic diet on overweight or obese men. The results showed that both aerobic exercise and resistance training effectively altered appetite-regulating hormones and suppressed appetite sensation. Additionally, both interventions had a positive impact on weight loss and body fat reduction, with resistance training showing a more pronounced effect on maintaining lean body mass.

Summary: This study investigates attitudes towards weight maintenance strategies among individuals who have experienced weight loss, finding that most participants dislike daily weighing and missing an occasional meal due to concerns about potential negative effects on mental health, but generally support habitual changes to high energy foods.

Summary: Exposure to social stress during puberty in hamsters leads to increased body weight and food consumption. While stressed hamsters gain more weight and accumulate more body fat compared to controls, the effects are long-lasting, with stressed hamsters consistently weighing 10% more than non-stressed counterparts for over two months post-stress period. However, appetite levels are not significantly affected by stress, as shown through food retrieval behavior in conditioning training.

Summary: In cancer patients at their first diagnosis, anorexia is a common symptom with various appetite tools correlating with food intake percentage. Self-assessment of appetite and FAACT score are associated with body weight loss (BWL), which in turn is related to complications during anticancer therapy.

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: Obesity-induced inflammation activates the adaptive immune system through changes in IgG glycosylation. Different dietary regimes for weight control after weight loss do not significantly affect IgG glycosylation, but individuals may still experience significant changes in their IgG glycome composition regardless of the diet type.

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: This study found that djulis hull (DH) has positive effects on iron metabolism in obese rats, increasing serum and hepatic iron levels while decreasing appetite hormones, body weight, hepcidin, and liver inflammation. DH can downregulate hepatic hepcidin through the IL-6-JAK-STAT3 pathway and enhance ferroportin via the Keap1-Nrf2 and PHD2-HIF-2 alpha pathways.

Summary: The study found that ingestion of protein had no significant effect on blood pressure in healthy young men. However, in healthy older men, ingesting whey protein resulted in a sustained and significant decrease in blood pressure, despite an increase in heart rate. This suggests that blood pressure should be monitored in older individuals at risk of postprandial hypotension after consuming a high-protein meal.

Summary: Protein supplements are increasingly used by older adults to maintain nutrition and prevent muscle function loss, with daily requirements around 1.2 gm/kg/day or higher. It is beneficial to increase protein intake, possibly best taken twice daily, particularly after exercise. Gastrointestinal mechanisms controlling food intake change with age, with benefits seen in giving supplements with meals to achieve higher protein intakes, especially in older individuals with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-protein diet and high-intensity interval training on appetite and weight loss in obese middle-aged individuals. The results showed that consuming a high-protein drink and following a high-protein diet after exercise can reduce post-exercise appetite and the frequency of late-night snacking.

Summary: There is evidence to suggest that chronic stress impacts neurochemical homeostasis and contributes to mental disorders. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of p-coumaric acid (p-CA), a natural compound found in vegetables and fruits, against stress-associated mental disorders. The findings suggest that p-CA could alleviate cognitive deficits and depression-like behavior in mice exposed to chronic restraint stress (CRS) by regulating the PKA-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway.

Summary: The present study investigated the post-operative complications and therapeutic potential of J147 in male Zucker rats, and found that J147 treatment had positive effects on behavioral and metabolic parameters, but did not affect neuroinflammation. The results suggest that a combination of acute and chronic J147 treatment may be optimal for treatment.

Summary: This study examined sleep, sleep/wake regularity, and cognition in college students diagnosed with depression and using serotonergic antidepressants, comparing them to those without a depression diagnosis. The results showed that students using antidepressants had slightly longer wake after sleep onset and lower sleep efficiency, but these differences were likely not noticed by the participants. There were no differences in sleep regularity or cognition between the two groups.

Summary: Social stress plays a significant role in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders and can lead to behavioral deficits such as social withdrawal. This study investigates the impact of social stress on social reward in Syrian hamsters. The results show that subordinate and socially defeated males have reduced motivation for social interactions compared to dominant males. Additionally, winning males exhibit greater activation in the mesolimbic dopamine system compared to losers. In females, there were no differences in social entries between winners and losers, but winning females display more activation in the NAc shell.

Summary: This study examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and negative emotional states (NES) in men with substance use disorders (SUD) undergoing treatment. The findings showed a positive correlation between BMI and stress, anxiety, and depression. These results suggest that reducing body fat accumulation may contribute to improving mental health in individuals with SUD during recovery.

Summary: This PROSPERO pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the olfactory and gustatory changes in pregnant individuals. The meta-analysis revealed that pregnant individuals performed poorer in odour identification, rated olfactory stimuli to be more intense during the second and third trimester, and had increased pleasantness for sweet taste in the first trimester. No major difference was observed in terms of gustatory functions between pregnant and non-pregnant subjects.
