Unonopsis guatterioides: morphological and chemical characteristics of its fruits and seeds, and germination processes under experimental conditions
This study aimed to evaluate the morphometry of seeds and fruits, their chemical composition, and the germination at different temperatures using seeds subjected to tegumentary dormancy break from fruits collected in a semi-deciduous seasonal forests in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The fruits under ripening showed a higher number of secondary metabolites and higher phenolic compounds. Morphometry results indicated that most seeds have length between 3.5 and 5.6 (81.3%), width between 8.1 and 9.0 mm (85.0%) and average weight of 0.28 g. The results indicate that there is a greater number of fruits with length ranging between...

A food interaction network between psittacines and plants in an urban area in the city of S ão Carlos - SP, southeastern Brazil
Braz J Biol. 2023 Sep 15;83:e269353. doi: 10.1590/1519-6984.269353. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe Psittacidae presents a great diversity of species in the Neotropical region performing fundamental ecological functions for ecosystems. These frugivorous birds can occupy different positions in the antagonistic-mutualistic gradient of food interactions, acting as predators and/or as seed dispersers. Little is known about bird-plant ecological interaction networks focusing on psittacines in urban environments, which may compromise the management of natural areas in anthropic landscapes and hinder the planning of conservation str...

Only the best for my kids: An extended TPB model to understand mothers' use of food labels
Appetite. 2023 Sep 18:107040. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2023.107040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the evidence that mothers' food purchasing behavior impacts the quality of children's diet, few studies have explored psycho-social factors influencing how mothers choose the food to buy for their children. To fill this gap, this study tested an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to predict mothers' tendency to seek information on food labels before purchasing food for children. Participants included 311 Italian mothers who completed a self-report questionnaire measuring their information-seeking behavior, TPB...

Healthy lifestyle promotion via digital self-help for mental health patients in primary care: a pilot study including an embedded randomized recruitment trial
CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment routines seemed to be decisive for reaching as many patients as possible. The relatively low rate of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and small effect sizes suggests that the intervention may only suit patients at risk.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03691116 (01/10/2018), focusing on the embedded trial. Retrospectively registered for the first clinic and prospectively for the second clinic.PMID:37728142 | DOI:10.1017/S146342362300049X

Meal sugar-protein balance determines postprandial FGF21 response in humans
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00241.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiological mechanisms that regulate dietary balance remain unclear. FGF21 is suggested to contribute to such potential regulation considering that FGF21 1) is genetically associated with carbohydrate/sugar and protein intake in opposite directions, 2) is secreted after sugar ingestion and protein restriction, and 3) pharmacologically reduces sugar and increases protein intake in rodents. To gain insight of the nature of this potential regulation, we aimed to study macronutrient interactions in the secretory regulation...

Both moderate- and high-intensity exercise training increase intramyocellular lipid droplet abundance and modify myocellular distribution in adults with obesity
This study compared high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with more conventional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on intramyocellular lipid content, as well as LD characteristics (size and number) and abundance within the intramyofibrillar (IMF) and subsarcolemmal (SS) regions of type I and type II skeletal muscle fibers in adults with obesity. Thirty-six adults with obesity (BMI=33±3 kg/m2) completed 12 weeks (4d/week) of either HIIT (10x1 min, 90% HRmax + 1 min active recovery; n=19) or MICT (45 min steady-state exercise, 70% HRmax; n=17), while on a weight-maintaining diet throughout training. Skeletal m...

Road map for personalized exercise medicine in T2DM
Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Sep 18:S1043-2760(23)00166-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tem.2023.08.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rising at an alarming rate. Regular physical activity and exercise are cornerstones in the therapy of T2DM. While a one-size-fits-all approach fails to account for many between-subject differences, the use of personalized exercise medicine has the potential of optimizing health outcomes. Here, a road map for personalized exercise therapy targeted at patients with T2DM is presented. It considers secondary complications, glucose management, re...

Motives and food craving: Associations with frequency of hyper-palatable food intake among college students
CONCLUSIONS: Results highlight the role of craving and coping motive in the frequency of HPF intake among college students. Prevention efforts may consider targeting craving and eating to cope to potentially address frequency of HPF intake among college students.PMID:37729846 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101814

Effect of dietary restriction on health span in Caenorhabditis elegans: A systematic review
In conclusion, the findings suggest a strong correlation between DR-induced longevity and the extension of health span in C. elegans, as evidenced by improvements in various health span parameters. DR interventions not only extend lifespan but also mitigate age-related markers and preserve locomotor capacity. Although conflicting results are observed regarding feeding capacity, the overall evidence supports the notion that DR promotes healthier aging in this animal model.PMID:37730186 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2023.112294

Combined Effects of Fluoride and Dietary Seleno-L-methionine at Environmentally Relevant Concentrations on Female Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Liver: Histopathological Damages, Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
In this study, female zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to fluoride (80 mg/L sodium fluoride) and/or dietary selenomethionine for 30, 60 and 90 days, the effects on the liver of zebrafish were investigated. The results indicated that an increase in fluoride burden, inhibited growth and impaired liver morphology were recorded after fluoride exposure. Furthermore, fluoride alone caused oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver, as reflected by the increase in ROS and MDA contents, the reduction of anti-oxidative enzymes, the altered immune related enzymes (ACP, AKP, LZM and MPO) and the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TN...
