Nutrition Journal | Full text | Consumption habits of pregnant women and implications for developmental biology: a survey of predominantly Hispanic women in California - 0 views

  •  
    Prenatal counseling must include nutritional counseling prior to pregnancy.  The key window to act is prior to pregnancy.  That is a reactive posture.

Estriol and Progesterone: A New Role for Sex Hormones - 0 views

  • Pregnancy-associated Th2 shift has been proposed as a mechanism underlying the improvement of Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases (as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis (MS), autoimmune thyoriditis, uveitis, and psoriatic arthritis
  • Th2-mediated autoimmune diseases (as systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • During pregnancy PRG serum level increases by a factor of 4, while estrogen estriol (E3) serum concentration increases by a factor of 20
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In pregnant women at or near term there is a daily production of about 300 μmol (80 mg) of E3 and 1 mmol (300 mg) of PRG
  •  
    Estriol and Progesterone associated, as found with pregnancy, associated with decrease in Th1 autoimmune disease.

Targeting gut microbiota in obesity: effects of prebiotics and probiotics : Article : Nature Reviews Endocrinology - 0 views

  • gut microbes have a role in the host's metabolic homeostasis
  • lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
  • Associations between circulating LPS level, consumption of a high-fat diet and the presence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus have been confirmed in humans
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • associations have been proposed between high-fat diet, metabolic endotoxemia and levels of inflammatory markers (TLRs and SOCS3) in mononuclear cells
  • A link between energy intake (high-fat diet) and metabolic endotoxemia has also been described
  • high-fat diet induces metabolic endotoxemia in healthy individuals.
  • metabolic endotoxemia is associated with systemic and adipose tissue inflammation in pregnant women with obesity
  • A growing amount of evidence indicates that changes in the integrity of the intestinal barrier occur both in the proximal and the distal part of the gut, which can contribute to the entrance of LPS into the systemic circulation
  • intestinal endocannabinoid system
  • The low-grade systemic inflammation that characterizes the obese phenotype is controlled by peptides that are produced in the gut. These peptides are influenced by the presence or absence of the gut microbiota
  • these findings suggest that the gut microbiota modulates the biological systems that regulate the availability of nutrients, energy storage, fat mass development and inflammation in the host, which are all components of the obese phenotype
  •  
    good look of how the the gut health, or lack there of, can influence energy homeostasis and contribute to obesity.  This article points to the presence of LPS playing a role in metabolic endotoxemia.  It does discuss the importance of the microbiota and their possible role in the low-grade systemic inflammation condition that is obesity.
