Phytochemicals found in plants are being explored for therapeutic use, particularly in combating obesity. Among these, theobromine, commonly found in cocoa and chocolate, shows promise. Although not as extensively studied as caffeine, theobromine exhibits positive effects on human health. It improves lipid profiles, aids in asthma treatment, lowers blood pressure, regulates gut microbiota, reduces tumor formation, moderates blood glucose levels, and acts as a neuroprotective agent. Studies demonstrate its anti-obesity effects through mechanisms such as browning of white adipose tissue, activation of brown adipose tissue, anti-inflammatory properties, and reduction of oxidative stress. This study aims to suggest theobromine as a potential therapeutic agent against obesity-related complications.","PeriodicalId":19469,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition reviews","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These proteins have overlapping functional profiles and are both implicated in the development of obesity. Over 20 years ago, a yeast 2-hybrid experiment discovered that RIM-BP1 interacts with a peptide constructed from a fraction of the TSPO sequence. Considering these data, the authors predict that the interaction between RIM-BP1 and TSPO could alter the olfactory system's mediation of appetite. Despite the therapeutic potential of this interaction, it has never been confirmed if the full TSPO protein and RIM-BP1 interact. The interaction is instead often cited as physiologically irrelevant. This commentary revisits the forgotten interaction between TSPO and RIM-BP1, reviewing all relevant literature discussing their relationship. Contrary to common discourse that the RIM-BP1 and TSPO are potential binding partners, while the interaction may regulate many neurological functions, existing evidence suggests that the interaction would have a specific role in odor-guided appetite. Further research into the nutritional neuroscientific consequences of TSPO/RIM-BP1 interactions should therefore be conducted.","PeriodicalId":19469,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition reviews","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two researchers reviewed the articles, extracted data, and assessed article quality.RESULTSAlternate-day fasting (ADF) reduced SBP (4.88 mmHg; CI, 2.06-7.15) and DBP (5.10 mmHg; CI, 2.44-7.76). Time-restricted eating reduced SBP (2.46 mmHg; CI, 0.16-4.76) but not DBP. Continuous energy restriction (CER) significantly reduced BMI (1.11 kg/m2; CI = 0.16, 2.06) and waist circumference (3.28 cm; CI, 0.62-5.94).CONCLUSIONSThis meta-analysis confirmed the preventive effect of CER and ADF on various cardiovascular risk factors. Additionally, CER is more likely to reduce obesity, and ADF is more likely to reduce blood pressure (BP). Based on this meta-analysis, CER is recommended to control obesity only for people who are obese and do not have elevated BP or other abnormal indicators. Additionally, ADF for early control or prevention is recommended for patients who have abnormal BP or other cardiovascular risk factors.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATIONPROSPERO registration no.

Treatment primarily involves hormonal therapies and surgical excision, but high recurrence rates and the economic burden are substantial. With these challenges, significant discussion surrounds the potential role of dietary patterns in managing endometriosis, making it necessary to bridge this critical gap. This review investigates the current scientific evidence on the dietary patterns (eg, Mediterranean, vegetarian, anti-inflammatory, low-fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols [low-FODMAP], and Western-style diets) associated with endometriosis and provides a concise, yet thorough, overview on the subject. In addition, antioxidants, microbiota, and artificial intelligence (AI) and their potential roles were also evaluated as future directions. An electronic-based search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, Scopus, and Web of Science. The current data on the topic indicate that a diet based on the Mediterranean and anti-inflammatory diet pattern, rich in dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based protein, and vitamins and minerals, has a positive influence on endometriosis, yielding a promising improvement in patient symptoms. Preclinical investigations and clinical trials indicate that dietary antioxidants and gut microbiota modulation present potential new approaches in managing endometriosis. Also, AI may offer a promising avenue to explore how dietary components interact with endometriosis. Ultimately, considering genetic and lifestyle factors, a healthy, balanced, personalized approach to diet may offer valuable insights on the role of diet as a means of symptom improvement, facilitating the utilization of nutrition for the management of endometriosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":19469,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142120276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
