Polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity: clinical aspects and nutritional management

Evelyn Frias-toral et al.

Summary: This article reviews the clinical characteristics and nutritional management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. By implementing a comprehensive treatment strategy that includes medication, nutritional education, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments, it is possible to improve insulin resistance, sustained weight loss, ovulation rates, and other goals for managing this disease.

Mediterranean diet as medical prescription in menopausal women with obesity: a practical guide for nutritionists

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: Menopausal transition is linked to weight gain and increased visceral fat distribution, leading to metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to be effective in weight control and managing menopause, as well as offering benefits for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Nutrition and immune system: from the Mediterranean diet to dietary supplementary through the microbiota

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: The interaction between nutrition and the immune system is complex, with specific micronutrients playing a key role in immune response and deficiency of essential nutrients impairing immunity. Individual's nutrition status, dietary intake, and nutraceutical supplementation can positively or negatively influence immune function, with some nutrients like vitamin D and zinc potentially modulating immune function. This review aims to update the relationship between nutrition, diet, and the immune system through gut microbiota, particularly focusing on the impact of the Mediterranean diet on immune function and speculating on the role of functional supplements.

The Role of Visceral Adiposity Index as Predictor of Metabolic Syndrome in Obese and Nonobese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Sebastiao Freitas de Medeiros et al.

Summary: The study found that women with obese-PCOS are more prone to metabolic syndrome (MS) compared to non-obese PCOS women, with symptoms including high blood pressure and abnormal glucose metabolism. Visceral adiposity index (VAI) was identified as the best predictor of MS, aiding in early detection of the disease risk in women with PCOS.

Are Dietary Indices Associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Phenotypes? A Preliminary Study

Ana Cutillas-Tolin et al.

Summary: This study explored the associations between adherence to five dietary quality indices and the presence of PCOS, finding an inverse association between AHEI-2010 index and a specific PCOS phenotype. However, no statistically significant associations were found between dietary indices and total anovulatory or ovulatory PCOS, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes to explore these associations among the diverse phenotypes of PCOS.

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Polyphenols Contained in Mediterranean Diet in Obesity: Molecular Mechanisms

Abdelhafid Nani et al.

Summary: Nutrition transition refers to a shift in food habits characterized by high-fat, high-calorie, and high-salt food consumption, while neglecting dietary fibers, minerals, and vitamins. The Mediterranean-style diet, rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, is encouraged for its ability to combat obesity-related oxidative stress and inflammation.

Chronic Low Grade Inflammation in Pathogenesis of PCOS

Ewa Rudnicka et al.

Summary: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, often leading to health issues like obesity and insulin resistance. Studies suggest a link between PCOS and chronic inflammation, which may contribute to cardiovascular diseases and other complications.

Phase angle and Mediterranean diet in patients with acne: Two easy tools for assessing the clinical severity of disease

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with acne had poorer body composition, particularly smaller PhA, and lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The research also indicated that PhA and PREDIMED scores might serve as markers for the severity of acne.

Association of the Chronotype Score with Circulating Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) Concentrations

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: Individual differences in chronotype are associated with cardiometabolic risk and gut dysbiosis. Morning chronotype is linked to lower BMI, better metabolic profile, higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and lower circulating TMAO concentrations. Higher chronotype scores are mainly associated with lower TMAO concentrations.

Phase Angle as an Easy Diagnostic Tool of Meta-Inflammation for the Nutritionist

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: The study found that PhA values and CRP levels were significantly lower in females than males, while adherence to the Mediterranean diet was lower in males compared to females. After adjusting for age, physical activity, BMI, waist circumference, and adherence to the MD, PhA remained negatively associated with CRP levels in both genders (p < 0.001).

Cardio-Metabolic Indices and Metabolic Syndrome as Predictors of Clinical Severity of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Luigi Barrea et al.

Summary: Obesity, particularly visceral obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are major risk factors for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. This study investigated the association of Fatty Liver Index (FLI) and Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) as early predictors of MetS with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), finding that MetS, NAFLD, and visceral adiposity dysfunction are correlated with the worsening of clinicopathological characteristics in GEP-NET.

Ziyi Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) had higher rates of heart failure and respiratory diseases, but not necessarily atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Compared to metabolically healthy individuals without obesity, those with MHO had higher risks of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, heart failure, respiratory diseases, and all-cause mortality.

Summary: Patients with GEP-NET tend to have lower chronotype scores and more commonly display evening chronotypes compared to healthy subjects. Morning chronotype patients show better anthropometric measurements and MetS percentages. Patients with metastasis, G2 grading, and progressive disease tend to have lower chronotype scores.

An Analysis on the Implementation of the Evidence-based PCOS Lifestyle Guideline: Recommendations from Women with PCOS

Siew Lim et al.

Summary: PCOS is a common endocrinological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, with lifestyle management recommended as the first-line treatment, but facing challenges in implementation through health services. Women with PCOS express the need for multidisciplinary, integrated care, health professionals who listen and are open to learning about PCOS, empowerment to self-manage PCOS, provision of peer support, and focusing on practical skills when providing lifestyle advice.
