Summary: This 6-month randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a low-carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) diet on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The results showed that compared to a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) diet, the LCHF diet resulted in greater improvements in glycemic control and weight loss, but these improvements were not sustained at the 3-month follow-up.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of Amaranthus spinosus on obesity induced by high-carbohydrate-high-fat diet, showing that it significantly reduced weight gain and fat deposition while improving glucose and lipid parameters. This medicinal herb also normalized liver biomarkers and boosted hepatic antioxidant levels, suggesting its potential as a food supplement for managing obesity and metabolic disorders.

Summary: The changes in SIgA coated bacteria from early to late pregnancy are associated with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). SIgA coated beneficial gut bacteria, depleted in GDM, could serve as potential probiotics for GDM prevention. The increased intestinal mucosal damage and inflammation-induced dysbiosis of SIgA coated microbiota may be related to GDM, and SIgA coated L. reuteri can reduce LPS levels in GDM in vitro.

Summary: This study investigated the association between FADS2 gene polymorphism, lipid levels, and susceptibility to type-2 diabetes mellitus. Results showed significant differences in circulating lipid levels in T2DM, with the multivariate model suggesting a predictive role for genotype, triglyceride, and insulin. The findings highlight the functional link between FADS2 gene polymorphism, lipid levels, and type-2 diabetes mellitus.

Summary: The study found that intake of inulin-type fructan (ITF) significantly lowered blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in diabetic individuals, but did not show significant effects in other subject groups. ITF intake did not affect body weight and blood insulin levels.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between fine motor performance and physical activity in individuals at risk for developing cognitive impairment, specifically in those with diabetes and/or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The findings indicated that individuals with both diabetes and NAFLD had lower physical activity levels and slower fine motor performance. Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between physical activity and motor speed in individuals with NAFLD only. Further research is needed to investigate the mechanisms that affect fine motor performance and physical activity in individuals at risk for mild cognitive impairment.

Summary: This study found that glutamine (Gln) has a positive effect on liver steatosis and promotes hepatic homeostasis by improving glucose metabolism and regulating signaling pathways. Obese mice fed with Gln had higher levels of colonic short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and lower levels of inflammation factor proteins, and a decrease in the abundance of Firmicutes bacteria was observed.

Summary: This study found that DEHP exposure exacerbated metabolic disorders in obese mice, but not in lean mice. The synergistic effects of obesity and DEHP regulated carbohydrate uptake, lipolysis, and abnormal adipose tissue, while obesity and DEHP differentially modulated transcriptomic changes in hepatic tissue.Obesity and DEHP exposure together caused early onset of metabolic disorders in obese mice through a potential mechanism involving Pparg, Lipe, Cd44, and Irs1.

Summary: SR-BI deficiency in mice fed a high-fat diet was associated with increased weight gain but better glucose handling. Only SR-BI knockout mice developed atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic root, while showing decreased hepatic steatosis.

Summary: The distribution of intrapancreatic fat in different regions of the pancreas is associated with diabetes, particularly the fat deposition in the tail and body regions is linked to insulin resistance. This finding is important for early identification of patients at risk for insulin resistance and related diseases.

Summary: Supplementing different sources of fatty acids to ewes during late gestation can modify offspring growth and energy metabolism, with effects on weight, insulin sensitivity, and hot carcass weight in lambs. These modifications depend on the unsaturation degree of the fatty acid supplement and the sex of the lambs.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological load of total coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. in milk and fresh cheeses as indicators of process practices carried out in cheese dairies in the Salinas region. The results showed that the use of natural rennet and the lack of hygiene in utensils and equipment posed a risk to consumer health.

Summary: The effect of ultrasound and UV radiation on microbial growth, curd yield, and hardness texture of natural rennet was evaluated. The results showed that the control treatment had the highest microbial growth. No microbial growth was observed in the ultrasound treatment, and UV radiation for 90 minutes effectively sterilized all microorganisms. All rennet treatments maintained their coagulant effect.
