Introduction: Inflammation has been shown to play a role in a variety of disease states including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of daily prune consumption on inflammatory...
Background and Significance: The prevalence of type II-diabetes mellitus is increasing in the United States (U.S.) and was estimated to affect 29.1 million Americans in 2012. Several factors including genetics, insulin resistance, and...
Menopause leads to an increased risk for osteoporosis in women. Although drug therapies exist, increasing numbers of people prefer alternative therapies such as dietary supplements, e.g. calcium, vitamin D, and collagen hydrolysates for...
The Effects of Daily Incorporation of Strawberries into the Diet on Bone Biomarkers and Blood Pressure in Postmenopausal Women with Pre- and Stage 1-Hypertension
Background and Significance: The postmenopausal period is characterized by ovarian hormone deficiency which increases the production of pro-inflammatory molecules with a concomitant rise in oxidative stress levels. This cascade of events...
Osteoporosis has significant public health importance for both women and men, where 54% of the U.S. population age 50 and older have low bone mineral density (BMD). Chronic inflammation alters bone remodeling, which is one contributor to...
The phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of blueberries support their role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as other processes that contribute to the development of cancer. Hence, it is suggested that...
Osteoporosis is a debilitating disorder that affects both female and male, albeit to a greater extent in women than men. As the demographic shift to a more aged population continues, a growing number of men and women will be afflicted...
Osteoporosis is characterized as a disease of low bone density and increased fragility, which results in more than 8.9 million fractures annually, approximately one fracture every three seconds. Although osteoporosis is mainly present in...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the osteopromotive property of allogenic demineralized dentin matrix (allogenic DDM) using a rabbit model of surgical bone defect. Alveolar bone deficiency is a major problem in the treatment...
The Relationship between Protein Intake on Factors Associated with Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Health in Individuals with Pre-and Type 2-Diabetes
Background and Significance: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes continues to increase. Many individuals are not aware of having the disease or early stages of the disease, pre-diabetes, until symptoms...
Ovariectomized (ovx) rats gain excess body weight (BW) even when they are pair-fed to sham animals. This higher BW, contrary to common belief, does not result in higher bone mineral density. The purpose of the present study was to...
Background and Significance: MetS encompasses a cluster of cardiometabolic abnormalities that increase the risk for developing chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Its prevalence...
