The effects of time-restricted eating and Ramadan fasting on gut microbiota composition: a systematic review of human and animal studies. Nutr. Rev. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-01 Joanna Maria Pieczyńska-Zając,Anna Malinowska,Karolina Łagowska,Natalia Leciejewska,Joanna Bajerska
CONTEXT It is well known that the microbiome undergoes cyclical diurnal rhythms. It has thus been hypothesized that meal timing may affect gut microbial composition, function, and host health. OBJECTIVE This review aims to examine the effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) and Ramadan fasting (RF) on the composition of the gut microbiota in animal and human studies. The associations between composition

A comprehensive review and meta-regression analysis of randomized controlled trials examining the impact of vitamin B12 supplementation on homocysteine levels. Nutr. Rev. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-26 Mohammad Hassan Sohouli,Faisal Almuqayyid,Aya Alfardous Alazm,Fateme Ziamanesh,Elma Izze da Silva Magalhães,Seyedeh Elaheh Bagheri,Bianca Rodrigues de Oliveira,Mahmoud Alfardous Alazm,Abdul Rahman Adi,Sara Alomar,Ahmed Abu-Zaid
CONTEXT Although some research suggests that vitamin B12 (hereafter, B12) supplements can lower homocysteine (Hcy) levels and treat hyperhomocysteinemia, these results are still ambiguous when B12 is taken as an isolated supplement. OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine how existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) could be used to examine the effects of B12 supplementation on Hcy. DATA SOURCES

Nutritional approaches targeting mitochondria for the prevention of sarcopenia. Nutr. Rev. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Jeong-Hoon Hahm,Farida S Nirmala,Tae Youl Ha,Jiyun Ahn
A decline in function and loss of mass, a condition known as sarcopenia, is observed in the skeletal muscles with aging. Sarcopenia has a negative effect on the quality of life of elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are at particular risk for adverse outcomes, such as reduced mobility, fall-related injuries, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although the pathogenesis of sarcopenia is multifaceted, mitochondrial
