Article Abstract

Objective: To generate evidence-based conclusions about the effect of wine consumption on weight gain and abdominal fat accumulation and distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Design: In the 2-year randomized controlled CASCADE (CArdiovaSCulAr Diabetes & Ethanol) trial, patients following a Mediterranean diet were randomly assigned to drink 150 ml of mineral water, white wine or red wine with dinner for 2 years. Visceral adiposity and abdominal fat distribution were measured in a subgroup of sixty-five participants, using abdominal MRI.

Setting: Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Soroka-Medical Center and the Nuclear Research Center Negev, Israel.

Subjects: Alcohol-abstaining adults with well-controlled type 2 diabetes.

Results: Forty-eight participants (red wine, n 27; mineral water, n 21) who completed a second MRI measurement were included in the 2-year analysis. Similar weight losses (sd) were observed: red wine 1·3 (3·9) kg; water 1·0 (4·2) kg (P=0·8 between groups). Changes (95 % CI) in abdominal adipose-tissue distribution were similar: red wine, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) -3·0 (-8·0, 2·0) %, deep subcutaneous adipose tissue (DSAT) +5·2 (-1·1, 11·6) %, superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue (SSAT) -1·9 (-5·0, 1·2) %; water, VAT -3·2 (-8·9, 2·5) %, DSAT +2·9 (-2·8, 8·6) %, SSAT -0·15 (-3·3, 2·9) %. No changes in antidiabetic medication and no substantial changes in energy intake (+126 (sd 2889) kJ/d (+30·2 (sd 690) kcal/d), P=0·8) were recorded. A 2-year decrease in glycated Hb (β=0·28, P=0·05) was associated with a decrease in VAT.

Conclusions: Moderate wine consumption, as part of a Mediterranean diet, in persons with controlled diabetes did not promote weight gain or abdominal adiposity.

Dyslipidemia is considered a crucial risk factor for high risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Cumin and coriander seeds are well-known flavoring agents that contain nutraceutical properties and appear to have beneficial health effects. A study was therefore conducted to investigate the effects of cumin and coriander seeds on body weight, abdominal fat and lipid profile in rats.

Purpose: To objectively quantify, in East Asians and Caucasians, the width and distribution of the retro-orbicularis oculi and frontalis fat (ROOF) pad, subcutaneous fat, and orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) at the superior orbital rim margin as well as 5 mm superior and inferior to this point.

Methods: Thirty adults were studied by high-resolution, surface coil MRI. In the quasi-sagittal image through the globe center, the ROOF, subcutaneous fat, and OOM thickness were measured anterior to the orbital septum, at 3 points: at the superior orbital rim, and 5 mm superior, and 5 mm inferior to the rim.

Canine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a powerful technology that can be used to clone beloved companion dogs, produce valuable working dogs, rescue endangered canine breeds, and create genetically engineered dogs. Nevertheless, the application of this technology is hindered by the low developmental efficiency of canine SCNT embryos. It has been shown that in pig and horse cloning using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), compared with fibroblasts, as donor cells can enhance the developmental potential of SCNT embryos.

Introduction: Obesity remains a critical global health challenge, intricately linked to poor dietary quality, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the comparative effects of brown rice, meal replacements, and thiazolidinediones on mitochondrial abundance and gut microbiota composition in a rat model of diet-induced obesity.

Methods And Materials: A total of twenty male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups: control, high-fat high-fructose diet, and three intervention groups receiving the same obesogenic diet supplemented with brown rice, meal replacement, or thiazolidinediones for twelve weeks.

Mitochondrial membrane remodeling during heat acclimation in Mongolian gerbils.

Mar Life Sci Technol

August 2025

School of Life Sciences, State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology, Shandong University, Qingdao, 266237 China.

Unlabelled: Mongolian gerbils had high ability to endure both high and cold temperatures. To study the mechanism of high ability for thermal adaptation, gerbils were acclimated to high temperature (30 °C) for 8 weeks, and were measured for metabolic features, body composition as well as mitochondrial content and activities. Lipidomic techniques were used to measure changes in mitochondrial membrane, including potential mitochondrial membrane remodeling during acute thermoregulation in gerbils.
