Bentham Oncology Collection | Oncology | Bowel Cancer

 

Graphical Abstract:

 

Abstract:

Background: Dietary Fibre (DF) has been part of human diet since ever, and its benefits for the human health have been well established and scientifically confirmed. However, it is important to study to what extent people are aware of those benefits.

Objective: Having in mind the importance of DF the present work was undertaken to study the level of knowledge of people residing in Portugal about the health effects related to DF.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken on a non-probabilistic sample of 382 adult participants. Descriptive statistics were used together with some inferential tests, all using the software SPSS and considering a level of significance of 5%.

Results: The results allowed concluding that people were differently informed about the effects of DF in preventing and/or treating various diseases, being constipation the most recognized, followed in decreasing order by obesity, bowel cancer, cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and breast cancer. The results also showed that significant differences were encountered between age groups for most of the diseases evaluated, but not between genders, levels of education or living environments.

Conclusion: Generally, it was concluded that the participants in this study were relatively well informed about the roles of DF in preventing and/or treating several diseases.

OPEN ACCESS ARTICLE – Pathophysiology of Diabetic Dyslipidaemia

Journal Name: Current Vascular Pharmacology

Author(s): Theodosios Filippatos, Vasilios Tsimihodimos, Eleni Pappa, Moses Elisaf*.

 

 

 

Graphical Abstract:

Abstract:

Background: Patients with diabetes usually exhibit diabetic dyslipidaemia.

Aim: The aim of the review is to present the quantitative and qualitative alterations of lipids and lipoproteins and the associated mechanisms in patients with diabetic dyslipidaemia.

Results: The main quantitative changes observed in patients with diabetic dyslipidaemia are increased triglycerides and decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Qualitative abnormalities mainly include increased small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles (despite similar serum LDL cholesterol levels as non-diabetic subjects) and alterations in the apolipoprotein content of HDL particles. Alterations in the activities of enzymes involved in lipoprotein metabolism, such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and the lipoprotein content of lipid particles, along with their glycation and oxidation, play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic dyslipidaemia.

Conclusion: Diabetic dyslipidaemia is associated with quantitative and qualitative alterations of lipids and lipoproteins, which are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
