Glycated hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and creatinine and cystatin C levels were measured on a fasting blood sample. We used the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine–cystatin C equation to calculate the ...
The aim of this pilot study was to assess whether a very low protein diet (VLPD; 0.3 g/kg bw/day), with a consequent low phosphorus intake, would reduce IS serum levels compared to a low protein diet (LPD; 0.6 g/kg bw/day) in CKD patients not yet on dialysis.This is a post ...
(To convert HbA1c to a proportion of total hemoglobin, multiply by 0.01.) No participants had clinically significant cardiovascular, renal (creatinine level >1.70 mg/dL [>150 μmol/L]) or liver disease (alanine aminotransferase level >3 times the upper limit of normal [10-40 U/L, or ...
Obesity upsurges the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, primarily heart failure and coronary heart disease. Chia seeds have a high concentration of dietary fiber and increased concentrations of anti-inflammatoryand antioxidant compounds. They are
to the standardised meal after the low-gluten intervention compared with the high-gluten intervention (Fig.5band Supplementary Table7;PAUC = 0.012, linear mixed model). PYY is a gut hormone released into the circulation in a nutrient-dependent manner and is known to reduce appetite23. ...
These ingredients could effectively reduce the oxidative damage to lipids and proteins associated with hyperfiltration [36, 37]. Furthermore, a high MUFA/SFA ratio, coupled with omega-3 fatty acid content in fish could improve hyperlipidemia, endothelial function and creatinine-clearance rate and ...
In addition, the utilization of estimated average absorption rates for the components in the dPRAL formula might reduce part of the individuality of the dietary acid load, and hence the renal biomarker uPRAL is probably more specific. Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the ...
Moreover, we also found TRE had a greater contribution to reduce blood pressure at 22:00 o’clock. The pathogenesis of hypertension is complicated, which includes arterial function, abnormal body sodium homeostasis, insulin resistance, and inflammation. In this study, we explored the possible ...
Furthermore, the precise mechanisms through which MED intake may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes are not well understood, in particular for the relative contribution of traditional and newly discovered biomarkers, particularly those relating to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance, inflammation, novel...
[21]. Lowering Hcy by 3μmol/L from the baseline levels would reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease by 16% (11% to 20%), deep vein thrombosis by 25% (8% to 38%), and stroke by 24% (15% to 33%)[20]. The China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT), a large-scale, ...
