Background Cashews, as the main source of monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated (PUFAs) fatty acids, are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. Despite evidence for beneficial effects of nuts on lipid profile and glycemic control, to the authors’ best knowledge, little is known about cashews. Methods An eight-week, randomiz...

Background Stroke as a devastating condition is one of the major causes of death worldwide. It is accountable for long time disability with high personal and social cost in adults. There are several risk factors for stroke such as diabetes and hypertension. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) as an antioxidant can be a risk modifier in these patients. We desig...

... Some CVD risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, can be improved by using alternative treatments such as natural-based products, given the benefits associated with diet in CVD development (13,15). Using alternative therapies, including bioactive phytoconstituents in traditional medicinal plants, could help decrease and manage CVD risk factors and metabolic disorders (16)(17)(18)(19). ...

... The duration of cinnamon consumption ranged from 9 to 12 weeks. On the basis of the country of the first author, the studies conducted are as follows: one in Romania [13], one in Ethiopia [14], one in Saudi Arabia [15], four in Iran [16,17], two in USA [18,19], one in India [20], and one in China [25]. The quality of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) included in the current umbrella meta-analysis is demonstrated in Table 1. ...
... These results agreed with the reports in Jahanpeyma et al. [18] and Hanifi et al. [40] studies, wherein face-to-face training and TFU reduced the serum K and P levels, and IDWG, but elevated AL. In contrast, another study had found that face-to-face training for one month had not affected P and K intake in the patients [41]. As well, the training sessions were twice a week for one hour, which was more than the recommended amount for the efficiency of training in these patients [42]. ...
... Evidence suggests that elevated blood glucose can induce islet β-cells to produce reactive oxygen species, leading to oxidative stress and β-cells dysfunction, which, in turn, causes IR and T2DM [21,22]. Some indirect studies also revealed that appropriate antioxidant supplementation can regulate lipid metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity [23,24]. Previous studies have indicated that METS-IR is significantly associated with visceral, intrahepatic, and pancreatic fat content [12], which are known pathophysiological components of IR [25]. ...
... ALA has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce total cholesterol and LDL fraction as well as prevent LDL oxidation. It also reduces macrophages and cytokines accumulation, triglycerides (TG) levels as well as increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) [24][25][26]. ...
... The primary outcomes of the study were that ALA supplementation lowered BMI and BW substantially more than a placebo. Although the effects of ALA application on WC were not significant in the two-class meta-analysis, the duration of ALA supplementation was dose-dependently correlated with WC. [59][60][61][62] Other studies have suggested that weight gain may be dependent on ALA dose and time. [15,63] The analyses revealed a significant relationship between a decrease in BW and BMI and a difference in the intervention time and ALA dosage. ...
... However, no significant differences were observed in plasma levels of HDL-C and LDL-C between the ALA group and the placebo group. Although the beneficial effects of ALA on some diseases, as well as plasma levels of lipid profile have been previously studied, 18,19 to our knowledge, this clinical trial was one of the first studies that investigated the effect of ALA supplementation on serum lipid profile in patients with MetS. ...
... It is synthesized by the liver [2] and is present in animal and vegetable sources [3]. The antioxidant effect of ALA has been demonstrated by the ability of ALA to clear reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activating the endogenous antioxidant system [4,5]. Additionally, it has been shown that ALA could improve endothelium function and play a role in nitric oxide synthesis [6,7]. ...
... Several studies have been documented to support the fact in both human and animal trail that weight can be reduced by supplementing the diet with probiotics and prebiotics. [27] Asgharian et al. [28] tested symbiotics on the lipid profile of patients with NAFLD condition conclude that these symbiotics can reduce body weight as well as improves the parameters of the lipid profile. The weight reduction can be explained through the regulation of glucagon-like peptide and Peptide YY and down-regulation of the ghrelin (hunger hormone). ...
