Red pitaya juice supplementation ameliorates energy balance homeostasis by modulating obesity-related genes in highcarbohydrate, high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome rats
Background: Red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) or known as buah naga merah in Malay belongs to the cactus
family, Cactaceae. Red pitaya has been shown to give protection against liver damage and may reduce the stiffness
of the heart. Besides, the beneficial effects of red pitaya against obesity have been reported; however, the
mechanism of this protection is not clear. Therefore, in the present study, we have ...

Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract: It is well known that plasma lipids, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP)
increase following menopause. In addition, there is a perceived notion that plasma high-density
lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations also decrease in postmenopausal women. In this
cross-sectional study, we evaluated plasma lipids, fasting glucose, anthropometrics and BP in 88 post
and 100 pre-menopausal women diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. No differences were ...

Major components of metabolic syndrome and nutritional intakes in different genotype of UCP2 −866G/A gene
polymorphisms in patients with NAFLD
Background: It has been suggested that dietary modifications in combination with genetic predisposition play an
important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. In the current study we aimed to investigate the major components of
metabolic syndrome in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nutritional intakes according to
different genotype of uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) −866G/A gene polymorphism in these patients.

Incidence of Nitrituria and Its Association With Metabolic
Syndrome: Results From the Korean National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey V (2010–2012)
Purpose: To investigate the incidence of nitrituria and the relationship between nitrituria and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V were used. A total of 19,083 participants were included. The chi-square test, the Mantel-Haenszel extension, logistic regression analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: A total of 2.0% of ...

Evaluating Barriers to Adherence to Dietary Recommendations in Iranian Adults with Metabolic Syndrome: A Qualitative Study Using the Theory of Reasoned Action
Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as a pattern of metabolic disorders including central obesity, insu-lin resistance or hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. Many studies show a clear relationship between diet and components of MS. The aim of the current study was to identify barriers to adherence to dietary recommen-dations among Iranian MS patients.

Effects of Probiotics and Synbiotics on Obesity,
Insulin Resistance Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes and
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Review of
Human Clinical Trials
Abstract: The use of probiotics and synbiotics in the prevention and treatment of different disorders
has dramatically increased over the last decade. Both probiotics and synbiotics are well known
ingredients of functional foods and nutraceuticals and may provide beneficial health effects because
they can influence the intestinal microbial ecology and immunity. The present study reviews the
effects of probiotics and ...

Effects of a healthy Nordic diet on gene expression changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to an oral
glucose tolerance test in subjects with metabolic syndrome: a SYSDIET sub-study
Background: Diet has a great impact on the risk of developing features of metabolic syndrome (MetS), type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We evaluated whether a long-term healthy Nordic diet (ND) can modify the expression of inflammation and lipid metabolism-related genes in peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test ...

Differences in Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome by Breastfeeding Experience of Women in Their 30s and 40s
The purpose of this study was to assess the differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome
in women in their 30s and 40s by breastfeeding experience, using the the fifth Korea National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (2010) data.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 1,053 healthy women in their 30s and 40s, who had
given birth was analyzed. To compare women with and without breastfeeding experience, chi-square
test and t test were used. The relationship ...
