Obesity - Inducible Toll-like Receptor and NF-[kappa]B Regulatory Pathway Expression in Human Adipose Tissue - 0 views

  • TLRs are functionally inducible and associated with downstream NF-B activation and proinflammatory cytokine production.
  • TLRs represent a family of receptors that are critical to the innate immune response against foreign pathogens and microorganisms
  • LPS has been shown to induce proinflammatory chemokine gene expression in differentiated human adipocytes through TLR and NF-B action
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Stimulation of TLRs initiates intracellular signaling cascades resulting in downstream NF-B and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and production of proinflammatory chemokines associated with mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular disease progression.
  • Elevated fatty acids levels associated with obesity activate TLR4 signaling in fat cells and macrophages, and induce insulin resistance in murine models
  •  
    TLR, especially TLR-4, is directly involved in NF-KappaB activation and release of inflammatory cytokines

    Animal model shows that n-3 intake reduced axonal injury after injury insult.  This implies a use in n-3 intake even after an insult has occured. This implies a role for n-3 in neuroplasticity.

Metabolic Effects of Dietary Fiber Consumption and Prevention of Diabetes - 0 views

  • DF are highly complex substances that can be described as any nondigestible carbohydrates and lignins not degraded in the upper gut
  • Commonly, DF are classified according to their solubility in water, even though grading according to viscosity, gel-forming capabilities, or fermentation rate by the gut microbiota might be physiologically more relevant
  • Main sources of soluble DF are fruits and vegetables
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • n increased intake of total DF was inversely associated with markers of insulin resistance in several studies
  • consumption of insoluble DF increased whole body glucose disposal independent of changes in body weight in both short-term and more prolonged studies
  • Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced by bacterial fermentation of indigestible DF polysaccharides in the colon
  • increased production of SCFA is assumed to be beneficial by reducing hepatic glucose output and improving lipid homeostasis
  • a high DF diet (oligofructose) reduced gram-negative bacterial content and body weight, whereas a high fat diet increased the proportion of a gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) containing microbiota in humans
  • Prospective cohort studies indicate that diets high in insoluble cereal DF and whole grains might reduce diabetes risk
  • soluble DF (i.e., pectin, inulin, and β-glucans)
  • cereal DF (i.e., cellulose and hemicelluloses)
  •  
    Good discussion of dietary fiber intake and Diabetes.

ω-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation as a Potential Therapeutic Aid for the Recovery from Mild Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion - 0 views

  • There is a growing body of preclinical literature suggesting that ω-3 FAs, and DHA in particular, may play a therapeutic role in mTBI
  • the potential for ameliorating or possibly even preventing the complications associated with concussions
  • DHA is the predominant ω-3 FA present in the brain, and, consistent with this finding, DHA, and not EPA, has been demonstrated to be critical for brain development and cognitive function throughout life
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • the concentration of EPA in the brain is negligible (77–80), suggesting that EPA plays a limited role in mediating the beneficial effects of LCPUFA supplementation on mTBI pathology
  • the current state of the science regarding LCPUFA supplementation for the treatment of concussion is based primarily on animal models
  • there is evidence that the amount of DHA in brain tissue is decreased after mTBI (65, 66), suggesting an elevated need for DHA in mTBI recovery.
  • the well-established role of DHA in supporting the structure and function of the brain throughout the lifespan (26, 27, 46, 47, 53) provides encouragement that LCPUFAs may also prove beneficial in the context of concussion recovery.
  • no therapies are currently available to aid the recovery from this injury
  • Previously discussed reports outlining the use of ω-3 FAs in the recovery from severe TBIs (reviewed in Ref. 92) described the use of very-high doses of LCPUFAs (16.2 g/d EPA plus DHA) in the recovery of these patients
  • Within the context of mTBIs/concussions, translating a DHA intake used in several rat studies of mTBI recovery (40 mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ d−1 DHA) (57, 63, 64) using body surface area conversion methods (93) amounts to an estimated human intake of 387 mg/d DHA
  •  
    nice review of the evidence of n-3, particularily DHA, in concussions and concussion recovery.

  • t is concluded from the results of the present study that the anti-tumoral effect of EPA is related mainly to its inhibition of cell proliferation, whereas that of DHA corresponds with its induction of apoptosis. The alterations in fatty-acid composition induced by EPA or DHA appear to be factors underlying their differential actions on cell proliferation and apoptosis.
