Recently, there are evidences that have shown vitamin D homeostasis has an impact in the development of type 2 diabetes. However, still it is unclear if vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of overt diabetes. This meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies and RCTs was conducted to evaluate the role of vitamin D in prevention of type 2 diabetes and to elucidate this controversial topic.

A systematic search for English-language literature was done via PUBMED/Medline and Google Scholar up to March 2020. Based on a fixed and random effects model, the OR, HR and 95% CI were used to evaluate the combined risk. This study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines.

After eligibility assessment 10 studies with a total of 34,882 participants were included in meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies suggested that there was a statistically significant association between the vitamin D and type 2 Diabetes; the pooled OR (95%CI) was 1.77 [1.51, 2.07] (P<0.001). Meta-analysis of RCTs have shown that there was no statistically significant association between vitamin D supplementation and prevention of type 2 Diabetes, the pooled HR (95%CI) was 0.89 [0.77, 1.02] (P=0.08).

In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that there is association between the vitamin D and type 2 diabetes. However, the result of RCTs suggests emphasis of future studies for genetic factors such as polymorphic variants of the VDR gene as one factor in this complex process.

There is a general interest in understanding how the consumption of tea impacts cardiovascular function in individuals at risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). SANT1 The current review focuses on evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on associations between tea consumption and endothelial function, in the primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD).

PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases/search engines were used to identify eligible studies. Included studies had to report on the impact of tea supplementation of endothelial function or CAD related markers. In addition to flow-mediated dilation (FMD), makers of oxidative stress and inflammation such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein were considered as determinants of endothelial function. A total of 34 RCTs met the inclusion criteria, and these reported on the impact of tea consumption on endothelial function in individuals at risk of CVD or patients with CAD.

The current qualove endothelial function and lower CVD-risk. However, well-designed RCTs are still necessary to confirm long-term benefits of tea consumption on vascular health.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are non-caloric and unconventional sugars that are not metabolized by the human body, but can be fermented by the colonic microbiota, leading to some beneficial effects on the absorption of minerals and trace elements. link2 SANT1 There is, however, a lack of research that describes the continued consumption of FOS in the diet between healthy and ill individuals and their impact. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence behind the role of FOS in the absorption of minerals and trace elements in the human body.

The bibliographic research covered the period from January 2000 to August 2020. link3 Four databases were investigated. SANT1 We follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA). The systematic review protocol was recorded in PROSPERO (139621). Two reviewers examined and extracted data from qualitative and quantitative studies published in the main databases, through a careful analysis. The risk of bias was assessed by four reviewating both in human and animal studies. However, the literature lacks articles exploring the daily dose and duration for FOS benefits, as well as long-term side effects in healthy or unhealthy subjects. link2 Future research should focus on addressing the extent of the functional effect of this fiber and identifying the impact on overall health.

Obesity is increasing worldwide. Resveratrol appears as a substance capable of helping with weight loss. This study aimed to investigate the resveratrol effect in the treatment of obesity in general population.

An online search was conducted in the following databases Pubmed, LILACS, Scielo, Scopus and Web of Science. Experimental studies that investigated the effects between resveratrol supplementation for weight loss treatment, as well as its relationship with overweight and obesity were included. Observational and non-human studies were excluded. The Cochrane scale was used to assess the quality of the studies.

Nineteen studies were included, of which only three demonstrated some type of positive effect. In the meta-analysis, there was no significant effect on weight loss [SMD 0.03; CI95%-0,44, 0,49; p=0,01; I2=82%], and body mass index (BMI) [SMD 0.01; CI95%-0,39, 0,41; p=0,01; I2=72%]. A small effect was found on the waist circumference [SMD-1.04; CI95%-1,86,-0,27; p=0,01; I2=87%].

This systematic review with meta-analysis demonstrated that supplementation with resveratrol does not have an anti-obesity effect.

Patients hospitalized at the intensive care unit (ICU) are more prone to oxidative stress. link2 Antioxidants such as selenium (Se) may have beneficial effects on outcomes in these patients. link3 Studies and systematic reviews in this field have inconclusive results.

An updated systematic search was done to find clinical trials published in PubMed, Cochrane's library, ISI web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid databases from January 1980 up to April 2020, to assess the effects of daily Se supplementation on patient's survival, hospital and ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, infection, acute renal failure (ARF) occurrence and serum creatinine levels.

From 1394 papers found in the first step of the search, after deleting duplicate findings, 24 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results of the pooled random-effect size analysis of 24 trials showed no remarkable effect of daily parenteral Se administration on patient's hospital and ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, infectious complications, ARF, survival and serum creatinine levels (p>0.05). The subgroup analysis showed that daily parenteral Se administration (in doses higher than 1000μg/d) increased the length of ICU stay by 4.48-folds (95%CI-0.5, 9.46, p=0.07). Parenteral Se supplementation at the first and following dose of ≤1000μg reduced the number of ARF at the hospitalized patients by 76% and 45%, respectively (p=0.02, and p=0.05).

High doses of Se increases days of ICU stay, but low doses decreases the number of ARF occurrence in ICU patients. More trials are needed to assess its effect on ARF occurrence.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic the use of Indirect calorimetry (IC) during nutritional rehabilitation program requires special precautions due to possible contagions for patients and health professionals. We evaluated in a sample of healthy subjects the agreement between oxygen consumption (VO

mL/min), carbon dioxide production (VCO

mL/min), respiratory quotient (RQ) and resting energy expenditure (REE kcal/24h/day) measured by IC with and without a filtering facepiece mask.

10 subjects with a mean (SD) age of 43 (10) years and a body mass index of 25.2 (5.8) kg/m

underwent indirect calorimetry both with and without a class 2 filtering facepiece mask (FFP2), in random order. The limits of agreement (LOA) and the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) were used to evaluate the interchangeability of the measurement conditions.

The LOA between REE measured with and without FFP2 (-111 to 189kcal/day) were comparable to those for repeated IC tests without wearing masks and CCC (0.95) showed substantial agreement.

We observed high agreement between REE measured by IC with and without FFP2 mask. These procedures are interchangeable in clinical practice.

Coffee is typically prohibited prior to metabolic assessment in clinical and research settings. However, whether coffee meaningfully alters fasted metabolic testing or the results of a fat tolerance test is unclear. We investigated whether allowing black coffee intake within a fast prior to blood work affected fasting triglycerides (TG) and glucose, as well as the postprandial lipemic and glycemic response following an abbreviated fat tolerance test (AFTT).

Participants completed two randomized AFTTs separated by at least 1 week. For each AFTT, participants arrived into the laboratory following a 10h overnight fast and consumed either 8 oz of water or black coffee. Thirty minutes later, a baseline blood draw was collected. Immediately following, participants consumed a standardized high-fat shake (70% fat; 9kcal/kg body mass), vacated the laboratory, and returned 4h later for a follow-up blood draw.

Ten healthy individuals (5M, 5F; age 22.9±3.8 years; BMI 24.3±2.6kg/m

) completed the study. There was no difference between trials with regard to baseline TG (MD=1.7mg/dL; p=0.74), 4h TG (MD=2.7mg/dL; p=0.75), Δ TG (MD=4.4mg/dL; p=0.52), or % change TG (MD=7.7%; p=0.99). link3 Similarly, following coffee consumption, baseline glucose was unchanged relative to water (MD=0.4mg/dL; p=0.84) and there were no differences in postprandial glucose measures, including 4h (MD=0.9mg/dL; p=0.58), Δ (MD=1.3mg/dL; p=0.31), and % change in glucose (MD=1.6%; p=0.29).

In our small study sample, coffee intake prior to an AFTT did not affect baseline or postprandial TG and glucose. Therefore, coffee intake prior to an AFTT may not affect its validity.

Circulating levels of imidazole propionate (ImP), a microbial metabolite of histidine, were higher in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to those without and also induced insulin resistance. We hypothesize that low intake of magnesium (Mg) and/or low body Mg status in humans may lead to low Mg concentrations in gut microbiota, and, in turn, elevated microbial production of ImP and increased levels of circulating ImP.

We tested this hypothesis in the Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial (PPCCT) (registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01105169), a double-blind 2×2 factorial randomized controlled trial enrolling 240 participants at high risk of Mg deficiency. Among 68 participants (34 each in the treatment and placebo arms), we measured plasma metabolites using the untargeted Metabolon's global Precision Metabolomics™ LC-MS platform.

Mg treatment significantly reduced ImP by 39.9% compared to a 6.0% increase in the placebo arm (P=0.02). We found the correlation coefficients were-0.
