Abstract:

With ageing comes a deterioration of metabolic and physiological changes that often manifest themselves as age-related comorbidities. Calorie restriction (CR) is a robust intervention that can prevent and reverse such changes, resulting in reduced ageassociated disease and increased lifespan across a wide range of species. Moreover, a link between the extent of restriction and increased lifespan has also been established. Though widely studied, the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of CR have yet to be fully understood. Consequently, I investigated metabolomic changes in the liver, plas

Abstract:

Ageing is accompanied by numerous metabolic changes and age-related diseases. Calorie restriction (CR) is a well-established non-invasive method that reduces the rate of ageing and increases lifespan in a wide range of taxa. Previous studies have highlighted a relationship between the extent of restriction and the extent to which lifespan is increased. However, the mechanisms by which CR mediates its beneficial effects on ageing are yet to be fully understood. I therefore tested three hypotheses which examined the role of metabolic changes in the hypothalamus, the epididymal white adipose tiss

Abstract:

This study compared the results of two methods of behavioral treatment in combination with a very-low-calorie-diet in the treatment of obesity. Subjects were 28 male and 106 female patients admitted to the medically supervised fasting program at Risk Factor Clinic in Portland, Oregon. Subjects were matched by gender, percent over ideal body weight, and age. Subject group I received a smorgasbord of behavioral techniques from various group leaders in a 60-minute weekly session. Presentation was didactic and theoretical and subjects were accountable to themselves for utilization of the technique

Abstract:

Background: Elective surgery in obese adults carries higher risk of post-operative infection, respiratory and cardiac events, and prolonged hospital stays. Consequently, surgeons often request that obese patients lose weight prior to surgery. Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCDs) are the most effective non-surgical, non-pharmacological approach to weight loss, and could be the choice of intervention prior to non-bariatric elective surgery, but there is a lack of literature available to prove their efficacy specifically for this patient group. The inappropriate administration of VLCDs in the pre-opera

Abstract:

I investigated the effects of continuous administration of fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, on energy expenditure, body temperature, and thyroid and catecholamine metabolism during weight reduction using a very low calorie diet (VLCD, Optifast, 1757 kJ/day) followed by a balanced deficit diet (BDD, 5016 kJ/day). Fluoxetine (60 mg/day by mouth, n = 10) or placebo (n = 10) were administered during 3 weeks of inpatient VLCD followed by 8 weeks of outpatient BDD in a double-blind, randomized design. A similar amount of weight was lost in both groups during the VLCD, but by the end of th

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>A obesidade é uma doença crônica não transmissível, caracterizada pelo excesso de gordura corporal. Então, a gordura acumulada na região abdominal promove resistência à insulina e conseqüentemente alterações metabólicas as quais em conjunto configuram o quadro de síndrome metabólica (SM). O genótipo Pro12Pro parece estar relacionado à menor sensibilidade à insulina, desencadeando o processo fisiopatológico da SM. Então, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de uma dieta hipocalórica sobre o perfil metabólico e composição

Aim of the study: several preclinical studies have shown that calorie restriction has a protective effect against aging, oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases.

In consideration of the above results, a randomized, single-blind, multi-centric phase I / II clinical trial of low-protein and low-calorie DMD (ProlonADTM) was conducted in patients diagnosed with mild AD or with amnestic Mild Cognitiv

Abstract:

Gastric bypass achieves weight loss in the morbidly obese. Preoperative weight loss is used to reduce the enlarged fatty liver that otherwise reduces visibility during surgery. The purpose of gastric bypass is to provide patients with long-term weight loss. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the result of preoperative low calorie diet on liver volume and to evaluate the long-term result of gastric bypass. Paper I showed that four weeks of low calorie diet reduces intrahepatic fat by 40% and facilitates surgery mainly through improved visualisation. Paper II demonstrated that all of the
