Green tea influences intestinal assimilation of lipids in humans: a pilot study
OBJECTIVE: Many data show that green tea (GT) consumption has a beneficial effect on human health, including antiinflammatory,
antibacterial and anticarcinogenic activities. However, there are no data on the effect of long-term GT intake on lipid assimilation
not related to luminal processes. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to assess the impact of a three-month diet enriched in green tea
extract (GTE) on lipid digestion and absorption in obese humans with metabolic syndrome.

Association between depressive symptoms, use of antidepressant medication and the metabolic syndrome: the Maine-Syracuse Study
Abstract
Background: Both depression and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are two major public health issues. The aim of this study was to examine associations between depressive symptoms, the use of antidepressant medications, and the prevalence of MetS.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were undertaken on 970 participants from the Maine-Syracuse Study. Depressive symptoms were measured using two self-reported depression scales, the Center for Epidemiological ...

The early life nutritional environment and early life stress as potential pathways towards the metabolic syndrome in
mid-life? A lifecourse analysis using the 1958 British Birth cohort
Background: Lifecourse studies suggest that the metabolic syndrome (MetS) may be rooted in the early life
environment. This study aims to examine the pathways linking early nutritional and psychosocial exposures and the
presence of MetS in midlife.

Serum vitamin A status is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome among school-age children in
Chongqing, China
The aim of our study was to examine the association of vitamin A status with obesity and the metabolic syndrome
(MS) in school-age children in Chongqing, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 1,928 children aged
7~11 years from 5 schools in Chongqing, China. Body height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure
were measured. Blood glucose, lipids and vitamin A were determined. Overall prevalences for overweight,
obesity and MS were 10.1%, 6.7% ...

Reduced circulating adiponectin levels are associated with the metabolic syndrome independently of obesity, lipid indices and serum insulin levels: a cross-sectional study
Background: Given the increasing rate of overweight and the burden of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on
cardiovascular disease development, better understanding of the syndrome is of great importance. Therefore, the
objectives were to examine whether interleukin-6 (IL-6)

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 ...

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 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 ...
