Background

Non-nutrient bioactive ingredients of foods such as bee products are often of interest in preclinical and clinical research to explore their possible beneficial effects. The National Institute of Health’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) contains over 165,000 labels of dietary supplements marketed in the United States of America (US), including declarations on labels for many ingredients such as those in honeybee products which have been used in foods and traditional medicines for centuries worldwide and are now also appearing in dietary supplements.

Methods

This article presents a use case for honeybee products that describes and tests the utility of the DSLD and other databases available in the US as research tools for identifying and quantifying the prevalence of such ingredients. It focuses on the limitations to the information on product composition in these databases and describes how to code the ingredients using the LanguaL™ and FoodEx2 classification and description systems and the strengths and limitations of information on honeybee product ingredients, including propolis, bee pollen, royal jelly, beeswax.

Results and conclusions

Codes for the ingredients are provided for identifying their presence in LanguaL™ and FoodEx2 classification and description systems used in Europe and elsewhere. The prevalence of dietary supplement products containing these ingredients in DSLD and on the US market is low compared to some other products and ingredients. Unfortunately label declarations in DSLD do not provide quantitative information and so the data can be used only to screen for their presence, but cannot be used for quantitative exposure estimates by researchers and regulators.

背景食品中的非营养生物活性成分（如蜂产品）往往是临床前和临床研究的兴趣所在，以探索其可能的有益作用。美国国立卫生研究院的膳食补充剂标签数据库（DSLD）收录了165,000多份在美国市场上销售的膳食补充剂标签，其中包括许多成分在标签上的声明，如蜜蜂产品中的成分，这些成分几个世纪以来一直被用于世界各地的食品和传统药物中，现在也出现在膳食补充剂中。它重点介绍了这些数据库中产品成分信息的局限性，说明了如何使用LanguaL™和FoodEx2分类和描述系统对成分进行编码，以及蜂产品成分（包括蜂胶、蜂花粉、蜂王浆、蜂蜡）信息的优势和局限性。结果和结论提供了成分编码，以便在欧洲和其他地方使用的LanguaL™和FoodEx2分类和描述系统中识别这些成分的存在。与其他一些产品和成分相比，在 DSLD 和美国市场上含有这些成分的膳食补充剂产品较少。遗憾的是，DSLD 中的标签声明不提供定量信息，因此这些数据只能用于筛查是否含有这些成分，而不能用于研究人员和监管机构对暴露量的定量估计。

Background

The microbial population living in our intestines plays a key role in several metabolic, nutritional, physiological, and immunological processes. It is known that infant gut microbiota composition has both horizontal transmission delivery and environmental conditions and a vertical one, from mother to child, related to how the infant is fed (breastfed or infant formula). Detailed information on the composition of meconium and feces from newborns may help predict the most prevalent and hazardous conditions affecting pregnancies, mothers, and babies, including pre-term birth, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus for example.

Methods

This work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of the whole High-Resolution proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H HR NMR) procedure in metabolomic analysis in preterm newborns. Thus, multiple samples of meconium and stool were collected from 3 pairs of premature twins and their metabolite profiles were acquired and exploited by combining the NMR technique with univariate and multivariate analysis.

Results

The analysis showed that an impact on the metabolite profile was visible concerning both the sex of the newborns and the couplet of origin. Most of the variation between twin couplets was seen with butyric acid concentration in meconium/stool samples.

Conclusions

Despite the low number of samples, the described NMR procedure showed to be a suitable approach to evaluate the similarities of the molecular profiles of different samples, offering a non-invasive and informative approach to understanding the metabolic and nutritional status of preterm infants. Future metabolomic analysis should be supported by microbiome analysis, such multiomic approach will provide more complex view on development of preterm newborns.

背景生活在我们肠道中的微生物群在多个代谢、营养、生理和免疫过程中发挥着关键作用。众所周知，婴儿肠道微生物群的组成既与分娩和环境条件有关，也与母亲对婴儿的喂养方式（母乳喂养或婴儿配方奶粉）有关。有关新生儿粪便和胎粪组成的详细信息可能有助于预测影响妊娠、母亲和婴儿的最普遍和最危险的情况，例如早产、子痫前期和妊娠糖尿病。因此，我们从 3 对早产双胞胎身上采集了多份胎粪和粪便样本，通过核磁共振技术与单变量和多变量分析相结合，获得并利用了它们的代谢物谱。结论尽管样本数量较少，但所描述的核磁共振程序是评估不同样本分子特征相似性的合适方法，为了解早产儿的代谢和营养状况提供了一种非侵入性和信息丰富的方法。未来的代谢组分析应辅以微生物组分析，这种多组学方法将为早产新生儿的发育提供更复杂的视角。

Background

Carotenoids are the group of antioxidant phytonutrients, found to repress carcinogenesis by modulating multiple cellular signaling pathways. Since diabetes patients have two to three folds increased risk of liver cancer, the present study aimed to explore the role of zeaxanthin on various molecular targets of high glucose-mediated human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell proliferation.

Methods

The antiproliferative effect of zeaxanthin was examined by WST-1 assay. The DCFH-DA fluorescence dye was used to measure the intracellular ROS levels. The modulatory effect of zeaxanthin on the protein expression of MAPK-p38, Akt, and ERK, and antioxidant markers such as Nrf2, SOD2, HO1, and catalase, and apoptosis markers, Bcl2, P53, and cleaved caspase 3 was measured by western blotting. Apoptosis-inducing effect of zeaxanthin in high glucose subjected HepG2 cells was examined using DAPI staining.

Results

Zeaxanthin exhibits an effective growth inhibition in high glucose subjected HepG2 cells. It drastically repressed high glucose-mediated elevation of ROS levels. Further, zeaxanthin suppressed hyperglycemia-mediated ROS-driven p38 activation to mitigate HepG2 cell proliferation. Zeaxanthin also switched on the apoptosis pathway in hyperglycemic HepG2 cells. The apoptosis induction by zeaxanthin was confirmed with downregulated Bcl2 and P53 and upregulated cleaved caspase 3 protein expression.

Conclusions

The current findings substantiate the previous findings that zeaxanthin has greater potential than lutein in sensitizing hyperglycemic HepG2 cells by modulating multiple signaling pathways. The study highlights the importance of zeaxanthin as a powerful phytonutrient which possesses chemotherapeutic potential against diabetes-associated liver cancer progression.

背景类胡萝卜素是一类抗氧化植物营养素，可通过调节多种细胞信号通路抑制癌变。由于糖尿病患者罹患肝癌的风险增加了两到三倍，本研究旨在探讨玉米黄质对高糖介导的人肝癌（HepG2）细胞增殖的各种分子靶点的作用。用 DCFH-DA 荧光染料测量细胞内 ROS 水平。玉米黄质对MAPK-p38、Akt和ERK蛋白表达，Nrf2、SOD2、HO1和过氧化氢酶等抗氧化标志物，以及Bcl2、P53和裂解的caspase 3等细胞凋亡标志物的调节作用通过Western印迹法进行检测。采用 DAPI 染色法检测玉米黄质对高糖 HepG2 细胞凋亡的诱导作用。它显著抑制了高糖介导的 ROS 水平的升高。此外，玉米黄质还抑制了高血糖介导的 ROS 驱动的 p38 激活，从而减轻了 HepG2 细胞的增殖。玉米黄质还开启了高血糖 HepG2 细胞的凋亡途径。结论目前的研究结果证实了之前的发现，即玉米黄质比叶黄素更有潜力通过调节多种信号通路来敏化高血糖 HepG2 细胞。这项研究强调了玉米黄质作为一种强效植物营养素的重要性，它对糖尿病相关肝癌的进展具有化疗潜力。

Background

Overweight has been increasing globally in various age groups, including children and adolescents. Despite efforts to reduce instances of childhood obesity, research has shown that children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tend to be overweight more often than the general population. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with overweight in children and adolescents with ADHD treated at a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 40 children and adolescents aged 6–18 years who were diagnosed with ADHD. Height/age and body mass index (BMI)/age indices were used for anthropometric assessment, and the percentages of fat mass (%FM) and fat-free mass (%FFM) were estimated using bioelectrical impedance. Clinical (lipid profile and comorbidities) and sociodemographic variables were also obtained. The association between clinical and sociodemographic variables and overweight status was investigated using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The significance level was set at p < 0.05.

Results

Excessive weight occurred in 42.5% (n = 17) of the participants, 67% (n = 20) had inadequat% FM, and 27.5% (n = 11) had dyslipidemia. According to the MCA, “greater number of people in the family”, “lower maternal education”, “presence of comorbidities, and “generalized anxiety disorder” were more frequent among those with excess weight.

Conclusion

The findings provide insights on the clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with being overweight in children and adolescents with ADHD, which may contribute to the early detection of possible inadequacies in anthropometric status.

背景在全球范围内，包括儿童和青少年在内的各年龄段人群的超重现象日益增多。尽管人们在努力减少儿童肥胖症的发生，但研究表明，患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童和青少年往往比一般人群更容易超重。在这种情况下，本研究旨在评估在里约热内卢一所大学医院接受治疗的患有注意力缺陷多动障碍的儿童和青少年中与超重相关的临床和社会人口因素。身高/年龄和体重指数（BMI）/年龄指数用于人体测量评估，脂肪含量（%FM）和无脂肪含量（%FFM）则通过生物电阻抗进行估算。此外，还获得了临床变量（血脂概况和合并症）和社会人口学变量。采用多重对应分析法（MCA）研究了临床和社会人口变量与超重状况之间的关联。结果 42.5%的参与者（17 人）体重超标，67%的参与者（20 人）FM 不足，27.5%的参与者（11 人）血脂异常。根据MCA，超重者中 "家庭人口较多"、"母亲受教育程度较低"、"存在合并症 "和 "广泛性焦虑症 "的发生率较高。

Background

Reducing inflammation levels can potentially reduce treatment-induced complications in cancer patients. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of n-3 PUFAs on three main biomarkers of inflammation: tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Methods

A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science databases to find relevant studies. The difference between the intervention and control arms results was assessed by standardized mean differences (SMD) along with a 95% confidence interval.

Result

The study found that the SMD for TNF-α, CRP, and IL-6 was −0.63(95%CI:−0.89,−0.37, P < 0.001), −0.27(95%CI:−0.64,0.10, P = 0.15), −0.59(95%CI:−0.89,−0.29, P < 0.001) respectively, comparing the effects of n-3 PUFAs on study subjects compared to control. Subgroup analyses revealed heterogeneity sources for TNF-α and IL-6 but not for CRP. The study did not detect any indication of publication bias in the cases of TNF-α and CRP but detected it for IL-6.

Conclusion

N-3 PUFAs caused a significant reduction in levels of TNF-α IL-6 but not CRP in cancer patients. The findings support that n-3 PUFAs could be used as an add-on treatment for cancer patients, possibly because they reduce inflammation and do not have any known side effects in moderate doses.

背景降低炎症水平有可能减少癌症患者因治疗引起的并发症。这项荟萃分析旨在确定 n-3 PUFAs 对肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）、C 反应蛋白（CRP）和白细胞介素-6（IL-6）这三种主要炎症生物标志物的影响。方法在 PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行系统搜索，以找到相关研究。结果研究发现，TNF-α、CRP和IL-6的SMD为-0.63（95%CI：-0.89,-0.37，P = 0.001）、-0.27（95%CI：-0.64,0.10，P = 0.15）、-0.59（95%CI：-0.89,-0.29，P = 0.001）。亚组分析显示，TNF-α和IL-6存在异质性，但CRP不存在异质性。结论n-3 PUFAs能显著降低癌症患者的TNF-α IL-6水平，但不能降低CRP水平。研究结果表明，n-3 PUFAs 可作为癌症患者的辅助治疗药物，这可能是因为适量的 n-3 PUFAs 可减轻炎症反应，而且没有任何已知的副作用。

Background

We aimed to conduct this meta-analysis to systematically assess the effects of L-carnitine supplementation on levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), Apolipoprotein A (Apo A) and Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) in adults.

Methods

A systematic search was done in databases such as PubMed, ISI Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus to find acceptable articles up to April 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of L-carnitine on lipid profiles in adults were included considering the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

We included the 60 RCTs (n = 3933) with 64 effect sizes in this study. L-carnitine supplementation had a significant effect on TG (WMD= −10.33 mg/dl, P < 0.001), TC (WMD= −6.91 mg/dl, P = 0.032), LDL-C (WMD= −7.51 mg/dl, P < 0.001), HDL-C (WMD= 1.80 mg/dl, P = 0.007) in intervention, compared to a placebo group, in the pooled analysis. Moreover, we conducted the subgroup analyses that have shown L-carnitine supplementation had a reduction effect on TG in baseline ≥ 150 mg/dl, and in any trial duration (<12 and ≥12 weeks), intervention dose ≥ 2 g/day, in overweight (25–29.9 kg/m²) and obese (>30 kg/m²), in type ² diabetes and other health status. Also, L-carnitine significantly impacted TC in baseline ≥ 200 mg/dl, trial duration ≥ 12 weeks, intervention dose ≥ 2 g/day, obese (>30 kg/m²), and other health statuses.

Conclusions

Our results indicate L-carnitine significantly reduces the serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and TG and increases HDL-C, but it had no significant effect on the levels of apolipoproteins.

背景我们旨在进行这项荟萃分析，系统评估补充左旋肉碱对成人低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）、甘油三酯（TG）、总胆固醇（TC）、载脂蛋白A（载脂蛋白A）和载脂蛋白B（载脂蛋白B）水平的影响。方法在 PubMed、ISI Web of Science、Cochrane Library 和 Scopus 等数据库中进行系统检索，以找到截至 2023 年 4 月可接受的文章。根据规定的纳入和排除标准，纳入了评估左旋肉碱对成人血脂状况影响的随机对照试验（RCT）。在汇总分析中，与安慰剂组相比，补充左旋肉碱对干预组的 TG（WMD= -10.33 mg/dl，P = 0.001）、TC（WMD= -6.91 mg/dl，P = 0.032）、LDL-C（WMD= -7.51 mg/dl，P = 0.001）、HDL-C（WMD= 1.80 mg/dl，P = 0.007）有显著影响。此外，我们还进行了亚组分析，结果表明，在基线≥150 mg/dl、任何试验持续时间（12 周和≥12 周）、干预剂量≥2 g/天、超重（25-29.9 kg/m2）和肥胖（30 kg/m2）、2 型糖尿病和其他健康状况下，补充左旋肉碱都有降低血脂的作用。此外，左旋肉碱对基线≥200 mg/dl、试验持续时间≥12周、干预剂量≥2 g/天、肥胖（30 kg/m2）和其他健康状况的人群的总胆固醇有明显影响。

Background

Dietary composition has been brought up as one of the main causes of the dramatic rise of metabolic disease over the past years. Intake of specific (macro)nutrients such as fat and sugar have been associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome, as well as a general excessive energy intake. In a previous study, we investigated trends in (macro)nutrient intake and metabolic disease in the United States, but total caloric intake was not addressed.

Methods

In this follow-up study, data on total caloric intake per capita per day was collected for the United States from 1900 until now. Total caloric intake was also calculated based on previously collected data on nutrient intake per capita per day. Trends were visualized and statistically compared with data previously collected regarding metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes.

Results

It was found that total caloric intake has risen considerably, from approximately 3200 in the year 1900 to nearly 4000 from the year 2000 until now. The caloric intake did not correlate with the trends in metabolic disease prevalence, except for diagnosed (pre)diabetes.

Conclusions

As highlighted in our previous work, there is a discrepancy between nutrient and caloric intake and the steep rise in metabolic disease. This suggests that there are other factors that need to be addressed in future studies, in addition to excess nutrient and energy intake, as suspected causes of the metabolic disease epidemic.

背景过去几年来，膳食结构被认为是代谢性疾病急剧增加的主要原因之一。脂肪和糖等特定（宏）营养素的摄入与代谢综合征的高风险以及普遍的能量摄入过多有关。在之前的一项研究中，我们调查了美国（宏）营养素摄入量和代谢性疾病的趋势，但并未涉及总热量摄入量。总热量摄入量也是根据之前收集的人均每日营养素摄入量数据计算得出的。结果发现，总卡路里摄入量大幅上升，从 1900 年的约 3200 升至 2000 年至今的近 4000。除了已确诊的（前期）糖尿病外，热量摄入量与代谢性疾病发病率的趋势并不相关。这表明，除了营养素和能量摄入过多外，还有其他因素需要在今后的研究中加以探讨，因为它们是代谢性疾病流行的可疑原因。

Background and aims

Preclinical and clinical evidence supports the value of nutraceuticals as prophylactic or adjuvant therapeutics to reduce stroke risk or to improve post-stroke recovery. Given the beneficial properties of xantophyll carotenoids, we aimed at assessing the putative neuroprotective effects of zeaxanthin, evaluating its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties in vitro and in vivo.

Methods and results

Exposure to zeaxanthin (25 μM for 24 h) reverted the elevation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression prompted by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in macrophages from mouse bone marrow. In mice subjected to transient (30-min) middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo), oral pre-treatment with zeaxanthin (2 mg/kg, 48 h, 24 h and 1 h before MCAo) prevented the elevation of serum levels of reactive oxygen species induced by the ischemic insult, while it did not affect the reduction of antioxidant barrier efficiency. Analysis of lipid peroxidation showed a significant increase in hydroperoxide level in the brain of mice subjected to MCAo, and the latter effect was inhibited by pretreatment with zeaxanthin. Finally, we originally demonstrated that oral administration of zeaxanthin significantly reduced neurological deficits and brain damage caused by transient MCAo in mice.

Conclusions

Our data, in combination with the evidence that zeaxanthin is a well-tolerated carotenoid, strengthen the nutritional value of this xanthophyll in the prevention of ischemic stroke injury.

Background

Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of flaxseed on lipid profile parameters; however, some others have reported contradictory results.

Aim of the review

The current study, therefore, aimed to provide a thorough understanding of the effects of flaxseed on lipid profile parameters in adults.

Methods

To this end, a comprehensive systematic search was conducted to collect the required trials from PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science databases, and Google Scholar up to December 2022.

Results

75 trials were included in our meta-analysis (two trials were only presented as a systematic review). Our study results indicated that the flaxseed supplementation significantly decreased the total levels of cholesterol (TC) (SMD: −0.57; 95% CI: −0.80, −0.33, P < 0.001), triglyceride (TG) (SMD: −0.61; 95% CI: −0.87, −0.35, P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) (SMD: −0.36; 95% CI: −0.61, −0.11; P = 0.005), and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios (SMD: −0.92, 95% CI: −1.35, −0.49, P < 0.010). However, flaxseed did not change the levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (SMD: 0.16; 95% CI: −0.03, 0.35, P = 0.097), and TC/HDL-C ratio (SMD: −0.35; 95% CI: −0.81, 0.11; P = 0.139).

Conclusion

It was concluded that the flaxseed supplementation may have improved the lipid profile. Therefore, it was recommended that flaxseed should be used as an adjuvant anti-hyperlipidemic agent.

背景大量研究表明亚麻籽对血脂指标有益处；但也有一些研究报告了相互矛盾的结果。方法为此，我们进行了全面的系统检索，从 PubMed、Scopus、Embase、Cochrane Library、Web of Science 数据库和谷歌学术中收集了截至 2022 年 12 月的所需试验。我们的研究结果表明，补充亚麻籽可显著降低总胆固醇（TC）水平（SMD：-0.57；95% CI：-0.80，-0.33，P < 0.001）、甘油三酯（TG）水平（SMD：-0.61；95% CI：-0.87，-0.35，P <；0.001）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）（SMD：-0.36；95% CI：-0.61，-0.11；P = 0.005）和 LDL-C/HDL-C 比率（SMD：-0.92，95% CI：-1.35，-0.49，P <；0.010）。然而，亚麻籽并未改变高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）水平（SMD：0.16；95% CI：-0.03，0.35，P = 0.097）和 TC/HDL-C 比率（SMD：-0.35；95% CI：-0.81，0.11；P = 0.139）。因此，建议将亚麻籽用作辅助抗高血脂药物。

Background

Dysbiosis an imbalance of gut microbiota (GM) may contribute to the development of metabolic disorders including dyslipidemia. Synbiotics have been suggested to modulate GM composition and in turn, they may alter lipid metabolism. We aimed to evaluate the effects of synbiotic supplementation on serum lipid profile, abundance of dominant gut bacteria, and also the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio in adults with dyslipidemia.

Methods

Fifty-six adults with dyslipidemia were enrolled in a randomized, clinical trial. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either synbiotic or placebo sachets for 12 weeks. Each synbiotic sachet contains (a total dose of 3 ×10¹⁰ colony forming units, CFU/gram) six species of probiotic microorganisms with 5-gram inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) in equal amounts as prebiotics. Serum lipid profile, fecal bacteria abundance, dietary intake, physical activity level (PAL), and anthropometric measures, were assessed at the baseline and after intervention.

Results

No significant changes were observed in participants' dietary intake, PA, and anthropometric indices within and between groups after 12 weeks of intervention. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) showed a significant increase (p = 0.0008), while no significant change in other lipid profile components was observed. The abundance of fecal Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium was significantly increased in the synbiotic group (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.032 respectively). However, 12 weeks of synbiotic supplementation didn’t affect F/B Ratio (p = 0.43) at the end of the study.

Conclusions

Twelve weeks of supplementation with multi-species synbiotic may improve HDL-C and enhance the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria in patients with dyslipidemia.

背景:肠道菌群失调(GM)可能导致代谢紊乱，包括血脂异常。合成制剂被认为可以调节转基因成分，进而改变脂质代谢。我们的目的是评估合成菌补充剂对血脂谱、优势肠道细菌丰度以及血脂异常成人厚壁菌门与拟杆菌门(F/B)比值的影响。方法:56名患有血脂异常的成年人参加了一项随机临床试验。参与者被随机分配接受合成或安慰剂包12周。每个合成小袋含有6种益生菌微生物(总剂量为3个×1010菌落形成单位，CFU/克)，其中5克菊粉和低聚果糖(FOS)等量作为益生元。在基线和干预后评估血清脂质谱、粪便细菌丰度、饮食摄入量、身体活动水平(PAL)和人体测量值。结果干预12周后，组内及组间受试者的饮食摄入、PA和人体测量指标均无显著变化。高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇(HDL-C)显著升高(p = 0.0008)，而其他脂质组分无显著变化。合成菌组粪便中厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门、乳酸杆菌和双歧杆菌的丰度显著增加(p <0.0001, p <0.0001, p <0.0001, p = 0.032)。然而，在研究结束时，补充12周的合成菌没有影响F/B比(p = 0.43)。结论补充多菌种合成菌12周可改善血脂异常患者的HDL-C水平，提高有益肠道菌群的丰度。

Serum lipid profile, </span>fecal bacteria<span><span> abundance, dietary intake, physical activity level (PAL), and </span>anthropometric measures, were assessed at the baseline and after intervention.</span></span></p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>No significant changes were observed in participants' dietary intake, PA, and anthropometric indices within and between groups after 12 weeks of intervention. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) showed a significant increase (p = 0.0008), while no significant change in other lipid profile components was observed. The abundance of fecal <span><em>Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, </em><em>Lactobacillus</em></span>, and <span><em>Bifidobacterium</em></span> was significantly increased in the synbiotic group (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.032 respectively). However, 12 weeks of synbiotic supplementation didn’t affect F/B Ratio (p = 0.43) at the end of the study.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Twelve weeks of supplementation with multi-species synbiotic may improve HDL-C and enhance the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria in patients with dyslipidemia.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20049,"journal":{"name":"PharmaNutrition","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 100367"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138656947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
