Cardiovascular event risk in relation to dietary fat intake... : European Journal of Ca... - 0 views

  •  
    The hypothesis that diets rich in total and saturated fat and poor in unsaturated fats increase the risk for cardiovascular disease is still vividly debated. The aim of this study was to examine whether total fat, saturated fat, or unsaturated fat intakes are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events in a large population-based cohort. Conclusions: In relation to risks of cardiovascular events, our results do not suggest any benefit from a limited total or saturated fat intake, nor from relatively high intake of unsaturated fat.

    Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease.\nSiri--Tirino, et al.; \nAm J Clin Nutrition; 2010 Jan 13. \nPMID: 20071648\ndoi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.27725\n\nConclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is NO significant evidence that dietary saturated fat is associated with increased risk for CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat

Wasting in Cancer | Michael J. Tisdale | Journal of Nutrition - 0 views

  •  
    Unlike simple starvation, where body fat is lost preferentially, cancer cachexia is associated with depletion of both fat and skeletal muscle mass. Although anorexia is frequently associated with cachexia a reduction of nutrient intake alone could not explain the progressive wasting. Instead the process appears to be mediated by circulatory tumor-produced catabolic factors acting either alone or in concert with certain cytokines. A knowledge of the mechanisms involved should lead to the development of effective pharmacological intervention. Effective therapy should not only improve the quality of life of the cancer patient, but should lead to an increase in survival. Since cachexia is so common in cancer host products may be required for tumor homeostasis. Thus further knowledge in this area may lead to the development of new agents for the treatment of cancer.
