Objective: To discuss, through the literature, the interaction between genes, nutrient, and their association with obesity, to convey to the health professional a broader and more detailed and understandable view of the advantages of using nutrigenomics in the prevention or aggravation of this morbidity condition. Methods: Exploratory bibliographic research for its development, articles found in the scientific electronic databases Scielo, Medline, Bireme, and Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) in the area of nutrigenomics indexed in the years 2012 to 2018 were selected. Results: Concerning obesity, several studies prove that the control of the need for food intake is affected by polymorphisms in genes encoding peripheral signaling peptides, such as insulin, leptin, and adiponectin. In addition, it is also affected by energy homeostasis that involves changes in PLIN and UCPs genes. Diets based on nutritional needs, nutritional status, and genotype are factors in the prevention and control of obesity and several chronic diseases. Conclusion: Nutrigenomics represents the latest in nutrition science. Health professionals need to know and scientifically debate this new science, showing the health benefits it grants and directing actions that enable the future insertion of this practice in the context of population programs based on public policies for the construction of new paradigms related to the treatment of obesity.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132533796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The present study was elaborated according to the rules of CARE case report. Due to the cognitive impairment present in the syndrome, the patient’s mother was first contacted about the writing of this paper and was given consent through the signing of the Free and Informed Assent Term for this paper. The patient was treated at a hospital-adjacent Nutrology outpatient clinic in 2019.

Results: During the follow-up of the years 2019-2021, resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Brazil and the consequent confinement, the patient presented worsening anxiety and hyperphagia, evolving with increased binge eating and discontinuation of physical activities and diet adherence. During the follow-up in the same period, there were 03 returns denoting weight maintenance, later (2021) the use of on-label (Sibutramine), off-label (Fluoxetine), and Metformin medications were associated with the therapeutic regimen for obesity, due to evidence of insulin resistance.

Bioactive substances, i.e. vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, polyphenols, and carotenoids, with a particular focus on their effects on skin condition. The spotlight is on the skin regeneration technique using plasma. Plasma sublimation leaves an intact and dehydrated epidermis layer that acts as a natural biological dressing. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural constituent of foods and is also often used in functional foods and supplements. Objective: It was to present a systematic review highlighting the main considerations of clinical findings of ocular aesthetic skin treatment such as blepharoplasty with the use of dietary therapy, plasma, and coenzyme Q10. Methods: The systematic review rules (PRISMA) were followed. The search was carried out from February to March 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using scientific articles from 2003 to 2023. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 154 articles were found. A total of 58 articles were fully evaluated and 52 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, 42 studies with a high risk of bias and 24 studies that did not meet the GRADE were removed. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2 =95.7% >50%. The symmetrical funnel plot does not suggest a risk of bias between small sample-size studies. Results and Conclusion: It was concluded that promoting healthy eating habits can benefit the appearance of the skin, delay aging processes and reduce the risk of skin cancer. It is necessary to differentiate the substances that protect and restore the epidermal barrier, ensuring an adequate level of skin hydration and protecting against external factors and damage induced by inflammation (omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids). Antioxidants and other phytonutrients that scavenge reactive oxygen species and alleviate oxidative damage to the skin also play an important role in preventing and caring for skin aging. It was inferred that the plasma technique enabled the modeling of the eyelids that should be sculpted, reducing excess skin, improving the appearance of the eyelids, rejuvenating the eyes, and reducing eyelid weight, mainly with the concomitant use of coenzyme Q10. Longwave plasma radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for non-surgical blepharoplasty. Plasma application has great potential in ocular aesthetics, however, more clinical and histopathological studies are needed to support previous findings and address some safety and efficacy issues.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122952576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty days before surgery, all patients have prescribed the NutrUgraft protocol: CoQ10 200 mg, Dimpless 40 mg, Biointestil 300 mg, and IBS Care 100 mg. The Impact® dietary supplement was also prescribed, 1 unit daily for 7 days. On postoperative day 30, patients answered 5 objective questions: (1) How do you rate your healing? Good, fair, or poor; (2) Did you feel safer by receiving preoperative supplementation? Yes, no, or indifferent; (3) Postoperatively, your bowel: functioned normally, constipated, or had diarrhea; (4) Postoperatively, did you develop fibrosis? Yes, no, or I don’t know; and (5) If undergoing another surgery in the future, would you like to receive preoperative supplementation again? Yes, no, or indifferent. Of 80 patients evaluated, 80% classified their healing as good, 90% reported feeling safer by receiving preoperative supplementation, 85% reported that their bowel functioned normally postoperatively, 80% reported not developing fibrosis, and 91.25% would like to receive supplementation again if undergoing another surgery.

But it is known that changes in parents at least 3 months before conception, during pregnancy, and breastfeeding are related to the improvement in the quality of gametes and the expression of healthy genes. Food consumption is increasingly far from ideal. There was an increase in the consumption of ultraprocessed foods and a decrease in natural foods.

Also recognized as a complex entity that associates well-established cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, among others, with central fat deposition and insulin resistance. Currently, Metabolic Syndrome has gained disturbing dimensions within clinical practice, becoming one of the greatest challenges at the beginning of this century. In contrast, the Mediterranean diet recognized by the combination of a tasty palate and nutritional benefits, in addition to the culture of its link between health and longevity is a strategy in the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Although there is no consensus on the most adequate nutritional strategy to treat Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in a way that reduces cardiovascular risk, recent studies show the efficacy of adopting healthy lifestyles capable of reversing this trend. Objective: To address the role of diet in MS therapy, with a primary focus on the interaction of the benefits of different nutritional interventions in the remission of MS, contributing to the integration of the current evidence in the preexisting context.
