Body Mass Index and Waist Hip Ratio as a Risk Factor for Meningioma Incidence
Background: Meningioma is a pathological condition in the central nervous system (CNS), while obesity is defined as excess fat accumulation in the body, which is associated with adverse effects on health. Obesity is characterized by an increase in the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Research on the relationship of BMI, and WHR with meningioma has been widely carried out in various countries of Europe, however, it has not been done much in the Asian countries, especially in Indonesia. Objective: To prove BMI and WHR as risk factors for the incidence of meningioma after being controlled by confounding variab...

Evaluation of Consumer Sensory Acceptability and Shelf Life of Orangefleshed Sweet Potato-enriched Mozzarella Cheese
Conclusion: Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP)-enriched mozzarella cheese had similar sensory acceptability as the control without OFSP. It should therefore be promoted as a functional food with a possibility of using food grade anti-mold agents for extended shelf life. (Source: Current Nutrition and Food Science)

Repeated Frying of Olive Oil has a Better Effect on Survival Rate Compared to Palm Oil through Glucose Energy Metabolism Increase in Mice
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of repeated frying of palm oil and olive oil on survival rate and blood glucose pattern in mice. Methods: There were 39 adult male mice divided into 3 groups: control (n=12), palm (n=13), and olive (n=14). Control group was given oral gavage of water during research. Palm and olive oils were given in palm and olive groups. Before given to mice, palm and olive oils were used for frying sweet potatoes 5 times then given to mice for 4 weeks. At the beginning and after treatment, fasting blood glucose (FBG), the 2 hours postprandial oral glucose tolerance test (2-h OGTT) b...

Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M, Sm Containing Diet Normalizes Some Metabolic Syndrome Markers due to High-fat High-fructose Diet in Wistar Rats
Background: Etlingera elatior (Ee) contains phytochemical compounds that are rich in antioxidants, which may reduce several biochemical markers of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Objective: We aimed to study the effect of fresh Etlingera elatior (FEe) and steamed Etlingera elatior (SEe) as a part of rat diet on body weight, serum lipid, and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in Wistar rats with MetS induced by a high-fat, high-fructose diet. Methods: Our research was a true experimental randomized control group design with pre- and post-test. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided randomly into the following four groups: 1) Contr...

Association of Dietary Patterns with Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) among Type 2 Diabetes Patients: A Cross-sectional Study
This study was designed to investigate the association between dietary intake and glycated hemoglobin among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: In total, 98 previously diagnosed T2DM patients in Tangail, Bangladesh, were evaluated. Dietary patterns were evaluated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Relevant biochemical, socio-demographic, anthropometric, and diabetes-related information assays were carried out using the standard protocol. Results: Respondent’s mean energy intake was found to be 1752 kcal/day. The ratio of energy supplied by protein, fat, and carbohydrate was 15.4%, 25.7%, and 5...

Emerging Facts on Chronic Consumption of Aspartame as Food Additive
Low caloric sugars of intense sweetness are world widely used as artificial sweeteners. Aspartame, being a non-nutritive sugar, acts as a sweetening agent and flavour enhancer which leads to the replacement of many nutritive sugars. The origin of aspartame was serendipitous, but it has been into huge controversy since then related to its toxic effects that come along with its excess sweetness. It is quite evident that aspartame has its toxicity due to its metabolites which are - phenylalanine (50%), aspartic acid (40%), and a small amount of methanol (10%). The present review entails in detail the mechanism and the harmful...

The Roles of β-Carotene in Cardiomyocytes
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is considered one of the major causes of mortality worldwide, with approximately 17.9 million deaths per year. There are several risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, such as behavioral factors (e.g., tobacco use, imbalanced diet, alcohol misuse, and lack of physical activities) and other underlying health-related factors (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia). These factors are also correlated with the pathophysiology of CVD, and one of the determinants of early aging is the poor overall quality of life. One of the main strategies to prevent these risks is by achieving a heal...
