The increased burden of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) parallels the incidence overweight and metabolic syndrome worldwide. Because close relationship between disorders disease, a new term, metabolic-related (MAFLD), was proposed by group experts to more precisely describe resulting from disorders. According definitions, MAFLD NAFLD populations have considerable discrepancies, but ove...

INTRODUCTION Depression is the most frequent mental disorder encountered in all medical services. Multiple studies have shown that depression may predict the onset of different conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and many other. The relation between depression and diabetes is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study we evaluated patients with both major depressive di...

Background: To date, no study has assessed the effects of modifying carbohydrate intake (specifically decreasing added sugar and increasing fiber) on insulin secretion, nor has any study used an overweight Latino adolescent population. The objective of this study was to examine whether changes in dietary intake, specifically reductions in added sugar and/or increases in fiber, following a 12-we...

Dairy cattle metabolic disorders, which are diseases related to disturbance of one or more metabolic processes in the organism are discussed in this overview. The transition period which includes three weeks before and three weeks after parturition is very critical for dairy cows. This period of time is associated with multiple changes including hormonal changes, moving from non-lactating to la...

The metabolic and anatomical substrate of most forms of mental retardation is not known. Because the basis of normal brain function is not sufficiently understood, the basis of abnormal function is understood poorly. Even in disorders where the fundamental biochemical defect is known, such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and other enzyme defects, the exact basis for brain dysfunction is uncertain. The...

Introduction Research into the aetiology of calculus disease has failed to reveal the fundamental cause of stone formation, but it is apparent that various factors predispose to their development. Renal calculi are likely to occur in most diseases in which there is an increased urinary excretion of crystalloid stone-forming substances. Calcium phosphate and oxalate stones are particularly liabl...

Vascular diseases include cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. For decades, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) stay the number one mortality worldwide. In more details, coronary heart disease or stroke alone caused around 1 of every 6 deaths or 1 of every 19 deaths in the United States in 2010, respectively [1]. The total direct and indirect cost of CVD remains higher than any other diag...

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification that controls gene expression in physiologic and pathologic states. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity are associated with profound alterations in gene expression that are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Recent reports have provided evidence that environmental factors at all ages could modify DNA methylation in somatic...

Gut microbiota plays critical physiological roles in the energy extraction and in the control of local or systemic immunity. Gut microbiota and its disturbance also appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases including metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, etc. In the metabolic point of view, gut microbiota can modulate lipid accumulation, lipopolysaccharide ...
