Low-grade inflammation in overweight and obese adults is affected by weight loss program

Abstract

Weight loss in combination with increased physical activity, a negative energy balance, and diet adjustment was associated with lower inflammation and consequently with lower cardiovascular risk factors.

Consumption of extra-virgin olive oil rich in phenolic compounds improves metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a possible involvement of reduced levels of circulating visfatin

“…Weight loss and inflammatory status improvement have been observed, in overweight subjects, following diet and [24], and adherence to MD has been linked to a lower rate of obesity [25]. After HP-EVOO ingestion, we observed a reduced BMI in our subjects even though the diet was the same throughout the intervention period.…”

Resistin, visfatin, leptin and omentin are differently related to hormonal and metabolic parameters in growth hormone-deficient children

“…Notably, in this study, visfatin has proved to be the only adipokine to directly correlate with IGF-I levels. Visfatin is thought to have insulinmimetic effects in various tissues [25] and it seems to be affected by weight loss, as demonstrated by Petelin et al [26] in overweight subjects. Li et al [27] showed higher visfatin levels in adults with GHD than controls, but to date data on visfatin during GH treatment are not available.…”

A 12-week randomized double-blind parallel pilot trial of Sinetrol XPur on body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference, and muscle metabolism in overweight men

“…Hence, weight loss, and particularly a decrease in waist circumference, should be associated with a reduction of inflammatory markers, as others have recently demonstrated (Petelin et al, 2014). Furthermore, it is noteworthy that weight loss interventions have also been associated with an induction of muscle catabolism resulting in a slight but significant loss of SMM (Janssen & Ross, 1999).…”
