The mechanisms underlying the change in phenotype from metabolically healthy to metabolically unhealthy obesity are still unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a difference in fasting fat utilization exists between overweight/obese individuals with a favorable cardiovascular risk profile and those with Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, we sought to explore ...

Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

The relationship between linear growth rates of S. levoris zone-forming colonies and concentrations of different limiting energy and carbon sources in the nutrient medium has been studied. A formula has been derived satisfactorily describing this relationship. The utilization of the substrates in the source of vegetative and reproductive processes as well as possible mechanisms controlling the ...

Sirtuin-1 (SirT1) is a nutrient-sensing deacetylase whose levels and activity increase with caloric restriction to preserve euglycemia and promote efficient energy utilization. Focusing on data obtained in vivo, we review how SirT1 orchestrates the adaptive response to fasting by stimulating hepatic gluconeogenesis and fatty acid oxidation, increasing circulating adiponectin levels and limiting...

It is shown that nutritional augmentation -to fuel curative processes such as detoxification (blood purification), improved organ function (to increase nutrient utilization), and rejuvenation (rebuilding from chronic weakness) -can be utilized with homeopathically induced “health responses” to substantially mitigate Leukemia and related symptoms. Elimination of the nutritional foundation protoc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of national implementation of age restriction on fluoroquinolone prescription in children and adolescents. METHODS Data collected from the database of Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in South Korea, a national health insurance system to analyze fluoroquinolone prescribing practice in children and adolescents younger than 18 years, between 200...

BACKGROUND The importance of creating and sustaining a strong culture of patient safety has been recognized as a critical component of safe medication use. This study aims to assess changes in attitudes toward patient safety culture and frequency of quality-related event (QRE) reporting after guided implementation of a continuous quality improvement (CQI) program in a panel of community pharmac...

As policymakers debate adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, they must also seek ways to promote cost-effective use of drugs and minimize inappropriate prescribing. For more than a decade, all state Medicaid agencies and most private insurers have used computerized drug utilization review (DUR) programs to prevent or rectify potential prescribing errors. DUR can be retrospective, in w...

The growing need for sustainable energy generation has sparked interest in exploring alternative biogas sources. In recent years, insects have emerged as a promising substitute traditional feedstocks production due to their high protein and lipid content, rapid growth rate, low environmental impact. This literature review aims provide an overview of the advances insect employment generation. It...
