These include the modulation of adipogenesis, regulation of lipid metabolism, enhancement of energy expenditure, and suppression of appetite. Recent studies have provided compelling clinical evidence supporting the use of specific phytochemicals in obesity treatment. Notable among these are green tea extract, rich in catechins; garcinia cambogia, containing hydroxycitric acid; resveratrol, found in grapes and berries; and berberine, derived from various plants. These compounds have shown promising results in clinical trials, Recent studies show that phytochemicals contribute to weight loss, BMI reduction, and lipid profile improvement, highlighting their potential in managing obesity and associated comorbidities. However, research in this field also faces challenges, including inconsistent bioavailability and the need for standardized dosing protocols. Phytochemicals offer a promising avenue for obesity management, acting through multiple pathways to influence weight control. While clinical evidence supports the efficacy of certain phytochemicals, further research and rigorous clinical validation are necessary to fully understand their potential and overcome existing challenges. This review underscores the importance of continued investigation into phytochemicals as a complementary approach to addressing the global obesity epidemic, potentially leading to more effective and natural interventions for weight management.","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"17"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in processing techniques have improved the bioavailability and overall quality of plant proteins, and emerging research suggests that strategic meal planning and supplementation can overcome prior limitations. Although animal-based proteins remain highly effective in preserving muscle mass, plant-based proteins can serve as a viable alternative in many scenarios.

Pregnancy is a critical period during which the female body undergoes significant changes to support fetal growth and development. Maternal changes in body composition are associated with fatal development and maternal health during pregnancy. Anthropometry is a simple, reliable, and low-cost method that can be applied globally in primary care for evaluating maternal nutritional status. Maternal anthropometry is important in predicting various complications that may occur during pregnancy, such as intrauterine growth retardation and the risk of low birth weight. In this context, anthropometric measurements such as body weight, skinfold thickness, and middle upper arm circumference, and laboratory methods such as body water, body density, bioelectrical impedance analysis, ultrasound, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and magnetic resonance imaging are frequently used in estimating the body composition of pregnant women. In addition to body weight gain monitoring, it is possible to determine the body composition of a pregnant woman by using different anthropometric measurements and the proposed equations. Accurate evaluation of anthropometric measurements and body composition in pregnant women is important in protecting the health of the mother and baby and in the early diagnosis of complications that may occur during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"13"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11706875/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142946078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Susceptibility to EDs increases during prenatal and postnatal life, a critical time window. This review aims to summarize the latest evidence on the relation of early life exposure to some EDs with obesity and the other metabolic disorders. RECENT FINDINGS: There is increasing evidence that early life exposure to EDs may impair adipogenesis by increasing the number and size of adipocytes, thereby increasing susceptibility to obesity in childhood. It is stated that exposure to EDs during the prenatal and postnatal period may raise the risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood by disrupting glucose, lipid, and insulin homeostasis in the offspring. They can also accelerate the development of type 1 diabetes through various mechanisms, like immunomodulation, gut microbiota, and vitamin D pathways. There is a growing understanding that ED exposure during critical stages of life could play an important role in the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. We suggest setting national goals, global standards, and policies to reduce environmental exposure to pregnant and lactating women, and babies, considered sensitive populations.","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"14"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11706864/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142946082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Circulating fatty acids (FAs) in the blood can affect directly cardiovascular hemodynamics and serves as building blocks for endocrine mediators modifying inflammatory processes and vascular function. This review aims to describe optimal circulating FA profiles for BP to adjust dietary recommendations for HTN prevention.Recent findings: Recent research highlights the critical role of FAs in regulating inflammation and vascular function. Different FAs have varying effects on oxidative stress, insulin resistance, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction, all contributing to HTN. These findings emphasize the importance of FAs in managing BP and preventing CVD. Up-to-now, findings suggest that eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n3), docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n3), arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0) and lignoceric acid (24:0) were promising candidates in reducing BP and thus, dietary intake could be recommended. Conversely, dietary intake of myristic acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0), and industrial trans FAs (iTFAs) should be restricted due to their association with elevated BP. Further research is warranted for pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0), stearic acid (18:0), alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n3), docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n3), linoleic acid (18:2n6), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n6), arachidonic acid (20:4n6), palmitoleic acid (16:1n7), and ruminant TFAs since their associations with BP present inconsistencies in the literature. Lifestyle factors such as dietary intake, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking should be considered when examining the relationship between FAs and BP. Overall, the FAs profile may contribute to BP level management; therefore, dietary recommendations are important.","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"15"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142946080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current medications for COVID-19 often carry side effects, necessitating alternative therapies with improved tolerance. This review explores the biological mechanisms rendering COPD patients more susceptible to severe COVID-19 and investigates the potential of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) in mitigating the severity of COVID-19 in COPD patients.Recent findings: Current evidence indicates that COPD patients are at an increased risk of severe COVID-19 due to factors including compromised pulmonary function, dysregulated inflammation, weakened immune response, increased oxidative stress, elevated expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) receptors in the lungs, and genetic predispositions. Remarkably, n-3 PUFAs exhibit the potential in ameliorating the clinical outcomes of COPD patients with COVID-19 by modulating inflammation, reinforcing the body's antioxidant defenses, reducing viral entry and replication, and enhancing immunity. N-3 PUFAs hold potential for improving COVID-19 outcomes in patients with COPD. However, there has been limited investigation into the therapeutic effects of n-3 PUFAs in enhancing clinical outcomes for COPD patients. Rigorous clinical studies are essential to evaluate the impact of n-3 PUFAs on COPD patients with concurrent COVID-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Six out of seven studies measuring breastfeeding rates reported a positive association between paternal involvement in breastfeeding education programs and increased exclusive breastfeeding rates. Of the eight studies assessing paternal support and attitudes, six demonstrated that including fathers in interventions improved their support and attitudes towards breastfeeding. However, two studies found no significant effect on paternal support or attitudes. The findings underscore the importance of including fathers in breastfeeding interventions to promote higher rates of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding.
