Obesity develops in the obese phenotype of the LA/Ntul//-cp (corpulent) specific pathogen-free rat strain by 5 to 6 weeks of age. Groups [n=12 -20 rats/phenotype] of female congenic lean and obese LA/Ntul//-cp (corpulent) rats were fed ad libitum standardized Purina diets for 4, 14, or 24 months or the same diet plus a 16% (w/v) sucrose solution supplement from 12 weeks of age, and measures of body weight, caloric intake, and caloric efficiency (CE) determined at each age group. Body weights of lean animals remained similar at all ages studied, while body weights of obese phenotype were significantly greater than their lean littermates at each age studied. The sucrose supplement was without significant effect on final body weights in the lean phenotypes at all ages studied (p=n.s.) but were associated with greater body weights at ages 4, 14 and 24 months of age in the obese phenotype (p=<0.05). CE was determined as the ratio of kcal/gram of body weight per day remained relatively constant in lean animals throughout the age range, but CE was more efficient in the obese phenotype at all ages studied and became progressively more efficient with the sucrose supplement feeding with increasing age. The results of this study indicate that CE is associated with the predisposition for the development of obesity in the obese phenotype of this strain and likely implicates multiple metabolic factors that contribute to a greater efficiency of energy utilization and or energy conservation in the obese than in the lean phenotype of this strain, and the metabolic impact of added sucrose was associated with an additive impact on the CE of weight gain and adiposity in the obese phenotype of this congenic rodent strain

Since the discovery of diabetes, it is about insulin production, or function. In this study, we may introduce a controversial concept. Insulin as a predictor of diabetes, in other words, insulin can cause diabetes type 2. We think that this could serve as a new medical hypothesis. To examine this hypothesis, we analyzed dataset posted in Kaggle from India. The dataset included 763 female patients of whom 497 had no diabetes, and 266 with type 2 diabetes. We used routine statistical analysis and neural network analysis. The results showed that insulin level increases as the diabetes is progressed, and its relative contribution to diabetes was estimated as 28.4%. Taken together, insulin measurement is recommended to be considered in the management of diabetes.

Obesity is a health condition, often resulting from an imbalance between physical activity and calorie intake and while invasive and intense interventions may be necessary for some obese individuals (OI), changes in activity and lifestyle over long periods of time are arguably the safest, most sustainable solution. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has been widely observed to increase rapid fat oxidation in obese populations (OPs), it conversely increases health risks for OIs who often have limited cardiovascular fitness, increased joint loading and high blood pressure. However, submaximal aerobic exercise, such as walking, can be used as an initial intervention for OI who lead sedentary lifestyles, to reduce weight and increase aerobic capacity in an arguably safer way. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect that a submaximal walking intervention has on anthropometric measures in an OP

With many thousands patients carrying laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), long-term complications can appear emergently to any surgeon. We present a 64 year-old male who underwent placement of a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) years prior presented to the emergency department with concerning signs of an acute abdomen. Upon imaging review a large bowel obstruction at the level of the sigmoid colon, with ischemic changes, was discovered, caused by the patient’s LAGB catheter. The patient was taken emergently for an exploratory laparotomy during which the LAGB catheter was removed, resulting in restored bowel perfusion. Bowel obstructions are infrequent complications of LAGB. However most commonly they are limited to the small bowel. LAGB catheters resulting in large bowel obstructions are an extremely rare finding. Our review of the literature indicates that this is the first reported cause of a sigmoid obstruction caused by a LAGB. This case brings into view potential complications LAGB that can confront not only bariatric surgeons, but general and acute care surgeons as well. This report illustrates LAGB danger to the colon, and suggests how to manage, perhaps leading to early, life-saving intervention

Objective: This study investigates the association between dyslipidemia and fatty liver disease with body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC) and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Methods: Data from 299 children with overweight or obesity (48% boys) with mean age 9.23±2.5 years were analyzed. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >25.8 U/L (boys) and >22.1 U/L (girls), was defined as abnormal. Student’s t-tests were computed for the comparison of mean values. Chi-square tests were used for the comparison of proportions. Results: Proportions of children with dyslipidemia and suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were 23.4% and 31.4% respectively. The percentage of children with NAFLD was 28.3% in those without dyslipidemia and 45% in those with dyslipidemia (p=0.015). BMI, WC and WHtR were not different between children with and without dyslipidemia. BMI was significantly higher in those with NAFLD (p=0.019). A stratified by gender analysis, showed that BMI, WC and WHtR were significantly higher in boys with NAFLD (p=0.009, 0.037, 0.049 respectively). WHtR≥0.5 and ΗΟΜΑ-IR≥3 were not significantly associated with the presence of dyslipidemia (p>0.999, 0.549 respectively), however ΗΟΜΑ-IR ≥3 was more frequent in children with NAFLD (p=0.011). A stratified by gender analysis, showed that the aforementioned association was evident only in boys (p=0.027). Conclusion: The severity of obesity and male gender are clinical indicators of increased risk of dyslipidemia and NAFLD among obese children and adolescents.

Introduction: Prediabetes status is considered as an important feature in either controlling the development or progression of diabetes. It may pass unnoticed because the symptoms of diabetes are usually not well established. Study objectives: The main objectives of the present study were to explore the efficacy of using Ammi visnagain treating pre-diabetic cases and weight losing. Methods and subjects: A prospective study was conducted to investigate the impact of using Ammi visnaga treatment of pre-diabetes and weight control. The study included 5 patients with pre-diabetes (glucose level was 128±32mg/dl). The age of patients was 42±18.5years. The study included 3 males and 2 females. In general, patients were overweight according to body mass index level was 28±7.8kg/m2. The patients used the aqueous extract of Ammi visnaga for two months (200 ml daily). Results: At the end of the experiment, the glucose level was significantly reduced (p<0.05)to the level of 88±12.5mg/dl. There was also a significant reduction in the level of BMI from 28±7.8kg/m2 to 22±6.4kg/m2(p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that Ammi visnaga has the therapeutic potential to control the progression of complete episodes of diabetes by controlling the pre-diabetic status

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has for quite some time been recognized as a serious interminable malady dependent on conventional methods for treatment. Exploration currently exists that proposes reversal is conceivable through different implies that have as of late been grasped in the rules. This account audit looks at the proof for T2D reversal utilizing every one of the three strategies, including points of interest and constraints for each. Techniques: A research was performed, and an aggregate of unique articles containing data relating to diabetes reversal or abatement were incorporated. Results: Evidence exists that T2D reversal is attainable utilizing bariatric medical procedure, low-calorie nutrient dense and moderate protein diet (LCNP), or starch limitation (LC). Bariatric medical procedure has been suggested for the therapy of T2D since 2016 by a global diabetes agreement gathering. Both the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) presently suggest a LC eating example and backing the momentary utilization of LCNP for weight reduction. Nonetheless, just T2D treatment, not reversal, is talked about in their rules. End: Given the condition of proof for T2D reversal, medical services suppliers should be taught on reversal choices so they can effectively take part in guiding patients who may want this way to deal with their sickness

The prevalence of obesity has been continually increasing, as have its associated comorbidities and health care costs. Effective management of obesity and early intervention measures are necessary to overcome this global issue. The responsibility for preventing and managing this global epidemic does not lie solely on an individual, but also on the entire health care system. Policy makers—nationally and globally—must play their roles to solve the issue. In this review article, we examine methods of controlling and managing obesity through interventions, such as a low caloric diet, physical exercise, pharmacological guidance, and bariatric surgical procedures. While health care professionals should educate patients about all available treatment options for severe obesity, bariatric surgical procedures have increased in popularity and are considered very beneficial with outcomes fruitful in managing severe obesity.

Food biotechnology comprise sorts of scientific disciplines including food chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, bioreactors, fermentation process, nutrition and food quality assurance. In the Daily diet, fermented food and drinks have and special importance because of their functional properties and biochemical compounds. Food biotechnology products have great importance from point of nutrition and obesity. Alcohol consumption must be reduced because of high calorie intake and harmful effect to some organs such as brain, liver and also cause social problems when consumed excessive amount.In Turkish traditional fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir and kımız, boza, ty and tarhana and special pickles etc., have various functional properties and biochemical compounds that have beneficial effect to organism. They contain lactic acid bacteria, probiotics, B complex vitamins, nutritive minerals, and some specific compounds which can prevent to development of cancer and tumors, cardiovascular diseases and cholesterol reducing effect. Food biotechnology also includes Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). Studies are evaluated in food biotechnology too. On the other hand, the another significant and common fermented product types are beer, wine, wine agar, even distilled alcohol drinks those produced ethyl alcohol from carbohydrates sources e.g. gape fig, barley, wheat, rice or any carbohydrate sources. Food biotechnology can be evaluated in basic food science and food biotechnology process. The mentioned topics were reviewed in detail.
