Dietary Interventions: A Promising Treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background: Dietary interventions as a first-line treatment for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been evaluated, but the optimal diet has not been determined. Proper diet and the maintenance of adequate nutritional status are of great importance in the prevention of this disorder, and therapeutics and dietary habits play an important role in the recovery of patients with PCOS.Summary: A range of dietary patterns have been shown to impact weight loss and insulin resistance (IR) and improve reproductive function, including the Mediterranean diet, the ketogenic diet, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension,...

Visceral Fat Accumulation Is Related to Impaired Pancreatic Blood Perfusion and Beta-Cell Dysfunction in Obese Women
Conclusion: We showed that decreased pancreatic perfusion did not relate to beta-cell dysfunction in early stages of T2DM development, but it was related to VAT, insulin resistance, and higher fasting glycemia. Furthermore, lower pancreatic perfusion was related to VAT, insulin resistance, and higher fasting glycemia.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Validation of Self-Monitoring Devices Supporting Sodium Intake Reduction: An Experimental Feeding Study Using Standardized Low-Salt and High-Salt Meals among Healthy Japanese Volunteers
Conclusion: Estimates of daily Na intake derived from overnight urine may remain insensitive during dietary interventions. The urinary Na/K ratio reflects the actual change in Na intake during dietary modification and may serve as a practical marker, particularly during short-term interventions. Conversion from the urinary Na/K ratio to estimated salt intake may be useful, if the coefficient was set appropriate by further investigations.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Effect of Probiotic Supplementation on Glycemic Outcomes in Patients with Abnormal Glucose Metabolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusion: Probiotics appear to have a modest effect on glycemic parameters in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism. Due to the limited number of trials conducted in patients with prediabetes, more studies are warranted in this population.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Resting Energy Expenditure Early after Cardiac Surgery and Validity of Predictive Equations: A Prospective Observational Study
Conclusions: The 30 × BW equation is relatively acceptable for estimating REE in 9 predictive equations in the early stage after heart surgery. However, the IC method should be the first choice if it is feasible.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

The Relationship between Mindful Eating and Body Mass Index and Body Compositions in Adults
Conclusion: It was observed that mindful eating was lower in women with overweight and obesity than that in women with normal weight. We believe that it is important to increase awareness of eating in order to protect against the diseases caused by obesity and for a healthy life.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Parkinson ’s Disease and Gut Microbiota
Background: Parkinson ’s disease (PD) is caused by abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein fibrils, called the Lewy bodies, in the central nervous system. Accumulating knowledge points to the notion that α-synuclein fibrils start from the dorsal vagal nucleus and ascend to the locus ceruleus and the substantia nigra (SN) . Even in healthy elderly subjects without motor or cognitive impairment, α-synuclein fibrils are frequently observed in the brain and sometimes in the intestinal neural plexus. Enteroendocrine cells have a direct synapse to the vagal afferents, and the vagal nucleus has synaptic pathways to the SN and th...

Gut Microbiota Development: Influence of Diet from Infancy to Toddlerhood
Early life is a critical period as our gut microbiota establishes here and may impact both current and future health. Thus, it is of importance to understand how different factors govern the complex microbial colonization patterns in this period. The gut microbiota changes substantially during infancy and toddlerhood in terms of both taxonomic composition and diversity. This developmental trajectory differs by a variety of factors, including term of birth, mode of birth, intake of antibiotics, presence of furred pets, siblings and family members, host genetics, local environment, geographical location, and maternal and inf...

Microbiomes and Childhood Malnutrition: What Is the Evidence?
Both undernutrition and overnutrition continue to represent enduring global health crises, and with the growing implications of both forms of malnutrition occurring simultaneously in individuals and populations (referred to as the double burden of malnutrition), understanding their biological and environmental causes is a primary research and humanitarian necessity. There is growing evidence of a bidirectional association between variation in the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome and risk of/resilience to malnutrition during early life. For example, studies of siblings who discordantly do or do not develop severe malnutriti...

Impact of Delivery Mode on Infant Gut Microbiota
Microbial colonization of the neonate is an important feature of normal birth. The gut microbiota has a central role in the programming of the host ’s metabolism and immune function, with both immediate and long-term health consequences. During vaginal birth, the infant is exposed to diverse maternal microbes, of which specific faecal microbes colonize the infant’s gut. C-section eliminates the infant’s contact with maternal microbes, pre venting vertical transmission of gut microbes. Consequently, infants are colonized by bacteria from the environment, including potential pathogens from the hospital environment. Rec...

Factors Affecting Energy Metabolism and Prognosis in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Conclusions: Energy metabolism was elevated in ALS, and respiratory status and muscle mass were associated with the hypermetabolism and poor prognosis. Adequate nutritional support may improve outcomes in ALS by preventing deterioration of respiratory status and reduction in muscle mass.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)
