Regular physical training associated with nutritional health has broad health benefits for the gut microbiota, acting positively on almost all organ systems of the body. Objective: It was to analyze the main metabolic pathways modulated by nutrients, gut microbiota, and physical exercise in muscle regeneration and sports performance. Methods: The present study followed a systematic review model (PRISMA). The literary search process was carried out from July to September 2022 and was developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, with scientific articles from 2004 to 2022. The low quality of evidence was attributed to case reports, editorials, and brief communications, according to the GRADE instrument. The risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: We found 132 studies that underwent eligibility analysis, and then 31 of the 52 total studies were selected for this systematic review. According to the GRADE instrument, most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with I2 =98.9% >50%. The Funnel Plot showed a symmetrical behavior, not suggesting a significant risk of bias in studies with a smaller sample size. A healthy gut microbiota and a positive interaction with the immune system, promoted by diligent nutrological care, can be crucial for the muscle-gut axis and can influence the maintenance of muscle mass and its functionality in athletes. However, dysbiosis resulting from a negative interaction with the immune system can influence muscle wasting disorders. These changes can promote systemic inflammation, with overproduction of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Future studies should clarify whether gut microbiota dysbiosis and nutrient depletion are pathophysiologically associated with muscle wasting disorders and whether exercise can positively influence this supposed gut-muscle axis.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134424843","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}

As a result, the Nutrition area has been studying more diligently ways to provide elderly people with methods that contribute to a more comfortable, healthy, and long-lasting life. The nutritionist is essential to identify the deficits and disharmonization of the body of the elderly caused naturally over the years in people's lives, such as loss of muscle mass, and lack of nutrients, among others. Given this scenario, this work will be focused on showing that the use of oral Glutamine supplementation contributes to the gain of muscle mass in the elderly since this natural amino acid present mainly in the muscle tissue of the human body is greatly reduced due to loss of mass skin and body weight gain caused by the slow metabolism found in older people. In this way, supplementation along with a well-designed nutritional table and an exercise routine will promote less chance of injury to the elderly due to a lack of nutrients and greater physical resistance. To reinforce and prove this study, we will use the literature review method distributed in topics.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130969891","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}

Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) have a prevalence of malnutrition greater than 35%. The main objective of parenteral nutrition (PN) is to provide a nutrient mix closely related to requirements safely and avoid complications. However, PN poses a considerable risk of overfeeding, which can be just as harmful as underfeeding. Long-term survival data (expressed as 6-month survival) will also be considered a relevant outcome measure. Objective: It was performed a systematic review to evaluate the main clinical approaches of macro and micronutrients in enteral therapy according to international guidelines and clinical studies. Methods: The present study followed a concise systematic review model, following the systematic review rules (PRISMA).

Total PN indications have evolved towards its use alone or in combination with enteral nutrition. The start time varies by country between admission (Australia and Israel), day 4 (Swiss), and day 7 (Belgium, USA).

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is also increasing in children and adolescents in developed (about 25%) and developing countries (about 13%). Obesity has been associated with many comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hypertension, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and malignancies, leading to increased mortality observed in obese individuals. Overweight and obesity were estimated to be associated worldwide with 3.4 million deaths, which could also be expressed as 4% of disability-adjusted life-years lost (DALYs). It is also alarming that children with severe obesity are apparently at in- creased risk of premature death. Managing obesity is hard and usually disappointing for both patients and physicians. Weight loss is difficult to achieve and even more difficult to sustain in the long term. When lifestyle modifications fail to achieve the predefined target, anti-obesity medications may be added on, as recommended by all relevant guidelines, including those of the Endocrine Society and recent guidelines for obese with diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is an incretin secreted by L-cells in the intestinal mucosa and has been shown to act in the brain and periphery to cause effective weight loss. GLP-1 release is stimulated by food intake and its agonist, exenatide, is the first from the incretin family approved for weight-loss therapy by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In overweight and obese adults, it is concluded that the GLP-1 analogs and the Phentermine/Topiramate association proved to be among the best for the effects on weight reduction. Regarding childhood obesity, the FDA recently approved the use of Liraglutide. Schizophrenic patients, a target of studies due to risk factors, benefited from treatment with GLP-1 analogs.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131307376","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}

The state resulting from overtraining has negative consequences not only for physical performance but also for health and when this state occurs, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are synthesized in the body. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic and integrative review of the main clinical, cellular and molecular approaches to oxidative stress in athletes' bodies, as well as the main functions of antioxidants in mitochondria. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from October to December 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. 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 127 articles were found, and a total of 67 articles were fully evaluated and 57 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 7 studies at high risk of bias and 25 studies that did not meet the GRADE. Studies have shown that free radicals play important roles as regulators in muscle signaling processes. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and adequate antioxidant defense. The relationship between exercise and oxidative stress is extremely complex, depending on the mode, intensity, and duration of exercise. High levels of reactive oxygen species produced in skeletal muscle during exercise have been associated with muscle damage and impaired muscle function. Antioxidant supplementation may be warranted under specific conditions when athletes are exposed to high oxidative stress or do not meet dietary antioxidant requirements. Continuous aerobic exercise under moderate-intensity or high-intensity interval training can be recommended to increase the body's ability to maintain redox balance, especially for unhealthy individuals.","PeriodicalId":137919,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133050405","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}

International medical bodies do not recommend the off-label use of drugs approved for the exclusive use of weight loss. In Brazil, the Brazilian Association for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (ABESO) recommends that drugs approved for the treatment of obesity be prescribed preferentially over off-label treatments.
