Obesity and cardiovascular health
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38243826/
Obesity has risen to epidemic levels worldwide over the past few decades and has become a huge global health burden owing to its direct contribution to the development of some...
Obesity, driven by poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles, increases cardiovascular disease risk. Prevention efforts must start early, emphasizing healthy habits from pregnancy onwards. Plant-based diets and regular physical activity offer significant health benefits, though weight loss alone remains challenging.

The Effects of Raspberry Consumption on Glycemic Control and Inflammation Markers in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11163149/
Despite observing the health benefits of raspberry consumption in some recent studies, there is still no consensus regarding this effectiveness on inflammatory markers and glycemic control. This study aimed to...
To our knowledge, the present meta-analysis is the first comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of raspberry in glycemic control and inflammatory markers. Our findings suggested that raspberry consumption can significantly reduce TNF-α and increase insulin concentrations. According to the insufficient and heterogenous studies, more...

Do polyphenols affect body fat and/or glucose metabolism?
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11198119/
Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions with 51% of the population expected to be obese by 2030. Recently, polyphenols have been highlighted as an effective approach to managing obesity and associated...
There were no significant changes in blood glucose observed in the included studies, with only two studies reporting a significant difference in A1c between the groups. Four studies found no difference in HOMA-IR, while one study showed a significant decrease in HOMA-IR in the intervention group compared to the control group. Three studies...

Obesity management for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: emerging evidence and therapeutic approaches
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38903652/
Excess adiposity can contribute to metabolic complications, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which poses a significant global health burden. Traditionally viewed as a chronic and irreversible condition, T2DM...
Bariatric surgery stands as a highly effective option for managing body weight and T2DM, yielding significant benefits. Yet, its widespread implementation faces scalability challenges, limiting access for many who could potentially benefit. In contrast, GLP-1RAs, and more particularly dual and triple agonists, offer a promising alternative,...

Insulin resistance assessed by short insulin tolerance test and its association with obesity and insulin resistance-related parameters in humans: A pilot randomized trial
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38905235/
The aim of this study was to examine the association of insulin resistance (evaluated by the short insulin tolerance test [SITT]) with parameters related to obesity and insulin resistance. We...
It did not turn out to be the index test. KITT(iv) was associated with clinical parameters such as VFA, adiponectin, and BCAAs. Of note, KITT(iv) is not affected by endogenous insulin unlike HOMA-IR and, thus, the observed associations notably indicated the pathogenetic link of the examined clinical parameters and insulin resistance. KITT(iv)...
