Immunomodulatory potential of a brewers' spent grain protein hydrolysate incorporated into low-fat milk following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.
Authors: Crowley D, O'Callaghan Y, McCarthy A, Connolly A, Piggott CO, FitzGerald RJ, O'Brien NM
Abstract
Brewers' spent grain (BSG) protein rich fraction was previously hydrolysed using Alcalase (U) and three additional fractions were prepared by membrane fractionation; a 5-kDa retentate (U > 5), a 5-kDa permeate (U < 5) and a 3-kDa permeate (U < 3). In the present study, these fractions were added to milk, subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID) and their anti-inflammatory potential was investigated. The digestates caused a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in ...

Relation of Muscle Mass and Fat Mass to Cardiovascular Disease Mortality
We evaluated the relationship between components of body composition and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Dual X ray absorptiometry (DXA) body composition data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004, was linked to total and CVD mortality data 1999-2006, in 6451 CVD patients. Kaplan Meier survival analysis for the endpoints of total and CVD mortality was plotted by quartiles of Muscle mass, Fat mass, and categories of BMI. Individuals were stratified into four groups (low muscle/low fat mass; low muscle/high fat mass; high muscle/low fat mass; high muscle/high fa...

Comparison of the effect of daily consumption of probiotic compared with low-fat conventional yogurt on weight loss in healthy obese women following an energy-restricted diet: a randomized controlled trial [Obesity and eating disorders]
Conclusion: Consumption of PY compared with LF with main meals showed no significant effects on weight loss. However, it may have positive effects on lipid profiles and insulin sensitivity during a weight-loss program. This trial was registered at http://www.irct.ir/ as IRCT201402177754N8.

Comparison of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet and a higher-fat DASH diet on blood pressure and lipids and lipoproteins: a randomized controlled trial [Lipids]
Conclusions: The HF-DASH diet lowered blood pressure to the same extent as the DASH diet but also reduced plasma triglyceride and VLDL concentrations without significantly increasing LDL cholesterol. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01404897. (Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Dietary fat restriction increases fat taste sensitivity in people with obesity.
CONCLUSIONS: A PC and LF diet both increase fat taste sensitivity in people with overweight/obesity, with the strongest effect after the LF diet.

Exploring the association of dairy product intake with the fatty acids C15:0 and C17:0 measured from dried blood spots in a multipopulation cohort: Findings from the Food4Me study
ConclusionC15:0 can be used as a biomarker of high‐fat dairy intake and of specific high‐fat dairy products. Both C15:0 and C17:0 performed poorly for total dairy intake highlighting the need for caution when using these in epidemiological studies.
The study explored the association between C15:0 and C17:0 levels in dried‐blood spots and intake of dairy, including high‐fat and low‐fat dairy products. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Gum arabic suppressed diet-induced obesity by alteration the expression of mRNA levels of genes involved in lipid metabolism in mouse liver
Publication date: Available online 28 January 2016 Source:Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre Author(s): Abdelkareem A. Ahmed, Hassan H. Musa, Jafaar S. Fedail, Amal Z. Sifaldin, Taha H. Musa Obesity is a global health concern associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic strategies include surgery and synthetic drugs; however, these may cause severe complications and high costs. The anti-obese effects of dietary fiber have widely been accepted in literature. Gum arabic (GA, Acacia Senegal) considered as a dietary fiber that could reduce the body fat deposition, nevertheless, its anti-obese ...

Dietary fat and corticosterone levels are contributing factors to meal anticipation.
Abstract
Daily restricted access to food leads to the development of food anticipatory activity and metabolism, which depends upon an as yet unidentified food-entrainable oscillator(s). A pre-meal anticipatory peak in circulating hormones including corticosterone is elicited by daily restricted feeding. High fat feeding is associated with elevated levels of corticosterone with disrupted circadian rhythms and a failure to develop robust meal anticipation. It is not clear whether the disrupted corticosterone rhythm resulting from high fat feeding contributes to attenuated meal anticipation in high fat fed ra...

Association of Oral Fat Sensitivity with Body Mass Index, Taste Preference, and Eating Habits in Healthy Japanese Young Adults.
Abstract
Oral fat sensitivity (OFS, the ability to detect fat) may be related to overeating-induced obesity. However, it is largely unknown whether OFS affects taste preference and eating habits. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate (1) the association between body mass index (BMI) and OFS and (2) the relationship of OFS with four types of taste preference (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) and eating habits using serial concentrations of oleic acid (OA) homogenized in non-fat milk and a self-reported questionnaire. Participants were 25 healthy Japanese individuals (mean age: 27.0 ± 5.6 years), among whom the OA...

Effects of low-carbohydrate diets v. low-fat diets on body weight and cardiovascular risk factors: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
Abstract
The effects of low-carbohydrate (LC) diets on body weight and cardiovascular risk are unclear, and previous studies have found varying results. Our aim was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCT), assessing the effects of LC diets v. low-fat (LF) diets on weight loss and risk factors of CVD. Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Trials. Studies had to fulfil the following criteria: a RCT; the LC diet was defined in accordance with the Atkins diet, or carbohydrate intake of <20 % of total energy intake; twenty subjects or more per group; the s...

Very-High-Fat and Low-Fat Isocaloric Diets Exert Similar Metabolic Benefits but Different Temporal Effects on Cardiometabolic Risk Markers
Conclusions: Both diets led to significant improvements in body composition and circulating risk factors, but with different temporal changes. Our data do not support that dietary fat per se promotes ectopic adiposity and cardiometabolic syndrome in humans. (Source: Advances in Nutrition)
