TOP-5 Studies on Obesity, Diabetes, and Insulin Resistance from May 26, 2026 - June 2, 2026
Identification of promising practices in lifestyle intervention programs for prediabetic populations: a meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized controlled trials; 12-week fisetin supplementation and interval resistance training with aerobic exercise: changes in Maresin-1 and inflammatory markers in obese men: a randomized controlled trial; Reduction of adaptive thermogenesis with a culinary dose of red pepper in a 24-hour negative energy balance; Unveiling the IL-17 axis: an immunometabolic bridge between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome; Navigating nutrition in a 24/7 world: a review of dietary intake and chrono-nutrition assessments in shift-working populations.
5. Identification of promising practices in lifestyle change programs for prediabetic populations: a meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized controlled trials.
About the study.
The aim of the study was to summarize current data on the relationship between participant characteristics, intervention components, and the effect of lifestyle change programs for individuals with prediabetes. The study analyzed randomized controlled trials comparing interventions with usual care or no intervention.
Results.
A greater percentage of weight loss was associated with larger reductions in diabetes incidence (β = 0.07 [0.02, 0.12], p = 0.010). Achieving ≥ 5% weight loss contributes to diabetes prevention.
4. 12-week fisetin supplementation and interval resistance training and aerobic exercise: changes in Maresin-1 and inflammatory markers in obese men: a randomized controlled trial.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of fisetin supplementation on interval training levels of Maresin-1 and inflammatory markers in obese men. The randomized controlled trial compared four groups with different interventions.
Results.
Significant changes were observed in levels of Maresin-1, IL-6, TNF-α, FBS, insulin, and HOMA-IR. Maresin-1 increased in the TP and TF groups. IL-6 decreased in the T, TF, and F groups. TNF-α decreased in all intervention groups. Levels of FBS, insulin, and HOMA-IR significantly decreased in all active groups, with the greatest reductions in the TF group.
3. Reduction of adaptive thermogenesis with a culinary dose of red pepper in a 24-hour negative energy balance.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of culinary doses of capsaicin from red pepper on adaptive thermogenesis and satiety in a negative energy balance. Data from 24 randomized controlled trials were analyzed.
Results.
Culinary doses of capsaicin do not prevent adaptive thermogenesis but may mitigate its impact in a negative energy balance, especially in combination with protein. Increased fat oxidation and improved satiety suggest potential benefits for weight maintenance.
2. Unveiling the IL-17 axis: an immunometabolic bridge between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome.
About the study.
The review focuses on the relationship between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the role of the interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway in these processes.
