Type 2 (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share many risk factors, whose accumulation over years lead to disease onset. However, while lowering plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) is cardio-protective, novel evidence over the past 10 years established a role for common
A large number of diet-related diseases, such as obesity, are characterized by subclinical inflammation of the body. For this reason, anti-inflammatory foods such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and nuts, are used. However, the disadvantage of fish as a resource is its limited
Background information
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver and is defined by evidence of hepatic steatosis (via imaging or histology) and is not due to secondary liver fat accumulation from excessive alcohol consumption or hereditary
A total of 50 subjects booked for Bariatric Surgery with BMI up 45 will be recruited. Patients with pre-existing liver disease, excessive alcohol consumption and significant central obesity will be excluded.
Ultrasound examination of the liver with liver volume measurement, and blood tests,
1. Background:
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammation, affecting approximately 130,000 Canadians. Its incidence and prevalence is rising worldwide. The disease etiology is unknown; however its pathogenesis is thought to be mediated by commensal gut bacteria, affected by
Weight loss commonly occurs in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), negatively influencing their quality of life, treatment response and survival. Furthermore, limb muscle dysfunction (weakness and/or enhanced fatigue) is a major systemic comorbidity in patients with Chronic
In the previous work, investigators found high fat diet induced gut microbiota dysbiosis can lead to low sperm motility and sperm count, and also recognised some microbes which may lead to the low sperm motility and sperm count. It is obvious that gut microbiota can influence the sperm quality. And
Background: Increased systemic inflammation is positively correlated with the risk for CVD. Among nutritional strategies to prevent and/or reduce chronic inflammation, long-chain omega 3 PUFA (LCn-3PUFA), notably eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have raised tremendous
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are major contributors to healthcare costs in Canada. A cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and abdominal obesity increases the risk of developing the aforementioned diseases. While
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid ) is a long chain omega-3 fatty acid important for brain and eye development and function throughout life. It also supports heart health. DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in the brain and retina and is naturally found in breast milk. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid ) is a
The primary aim of the study is to analyse the micro-nutritional status in morbidly obese patients before and 6 months after bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB). The secondary outcome will be the impact of 6 months probiotics, minerals, aminoacids, omega-3 acids and vitamin
1. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ingesting a flavonoid-rich supplement on total urine polyphenol concentration and shifts in blood metabolites related to flavonoid intake in healthy but overweight/obese community-dwelling adults.
2. Secondary objectives are to

This study will evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects and antidepressant efficacy and tolerability of EPA versus placebo in the treatment of MDD. The study design is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel-group dose-finding 12 week outpatient clinical trial. The study population
