“The DEXA scans revealed that women who consumed more fiber had considerably greater muscle mass than those who ate less. Men who consumed more fiber also had greater muscle mass, but only in those without metabolic syndrome.”

“The proteomic analysis revealed that the 30-day daytime fast influenced the production of proteins that protect against chronic conditions such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and Alzheimer's disease, among others.”

“It is found in green leafy vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Poor magnesium status is implicated in several metabolic and inflammatory disorders including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases.”

“At the four year visit, several cardiometabolic and body composition measures favored the transplant group: Waist circumference was 10 cm lower in the fecal transplant group. Total body fat percentage was 4.8 points lower. A metabolic syndrome severity score was lower.”

“The study involved nearly 1,000 middle-aged men with metabolic syndrome—a constellation of health conditions that increases the for diabetes. About half of the men had a low genetic risk for the disease, while the remainder had a high genetic risk.”

“Hyperglycemia, which occurs when glucose levels in the blood rise to dangerous levels, is a hallmark of diseases such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The effects of hyperglycemia are well documented and include cellular damage, inflammation, and pro-cancer effects; however, few studies have elucidated the cellular mechanisms of hyperglycemia.”

“They identified a previously unknown hormone, which they named raptin, and tracked where and when it was released. They also studied the effects of a genetic variant that blocks raptin production and examined hormone levels in people with sleep deficiency, obesity, and nighttime eating syndrome.”

“A dysregulated endocannabinoid system and gut microbiota may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and obesity; however, exercise may improve microbiota and gut health.”

“Short-chain fatty acids may play roles in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disorders, and certain types of cancer. Some evidence suggests they can cross the blood-brain barrier to affect brain function.”

“These findings have relevance for women at high risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder, such as those with a child previously diagnosed with the disorder or who have health conditions that have been linked with the disorder, such as metabolic syndrome during pregnancy.”
