In this one, despite a heavy burden of cardiometabolic health, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease & cancer morbidity and mortality rates were lower in Iraqi-born immigrants compared to native-born Swedes. Image
- Continuing the conundrum of metabolic phenotypes and the healthy migrant effect, this one aimed to study the impact of Middle Eastern and European ethnicity...
...on all-cause, cancer- & cardiovascular disease-related mortality and incidence of cancer & cardiovascular disease in an eight-year follow-up study.
- The Iraqis had higher BMI levels, a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes, a higher prevalence of family history of type 2 diabetes, were less insulin-sensitive, had lower levels of insulin secretion and less physically active compared to the Swedish group.
- Despite the heavy burden of cardiometabolic health, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease & cancer morbidity and cause-specific mortality rates (in cardiovascular disease & cancer) were lower in Iraqi-born immigrants compared to native-born Swedes.

The findings of this one suggest that intermittent exogenous ketosis may be a potent nutritional strategy to facilitate recovery from strenuous endurance exercise, thereby stimulating beneficial muscular adaptations. Image
- The primary aim of this study was to characterize the mechanistic effect of ketone ester ingestion on muscular angiogenesis.
The study investigated whether ketone ester ingestion could increase pro-angiogenic factors and thereby stimulate muscular angiogenesis during a three-week endurance training-overload period involving 10 training sessions/week in healthy, recreationally active, male volunteers.

In this one, a higher adherence to the EAT‐Lancet Healthy Reference Diet was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease but was not associated with lower risk of total stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke.
- Higher adherence to the Healthy Reference Diet as proposed by the EAT‐Lancet Commission was associated with a 14% lower risk of CVD and a 12% lower risk of CHD.
- No significant association was found for total stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, although the number of cases was relatively small for stroke subtypes and the magnitude of associations was comparable to those of CVD and CHD.

Interestingly, in this one, caffeine and catechins ingested alongside polymerized polyphenols from oolong tea lowered postprandial glucose, insulin and C-peptide responses following a high-fat meal challenge. Image
- The objective of the study was to assess whether polymerized polyphenols from oolong tea ingested alone or with caffeine and catechins lowers postprandial lipemia.
- 50 healthy adults completed 4 oral lipid tolerance tests in a placebo-controlled randomized, crossover design.

The findings of this one may suggest that both individuals with very low and very high levels of circulating IGF-1 may be at an increased risk of cancer mortality, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. Image
- Circulating levels IGF-1 exhibited a U-shaped relationship with all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality.
- For cardiovascular mortality, the U-shaped relationship was stronger in men and in participants who were older than 55 years at baseline.

The findings of this one suggest that blood flow restriction accelerates fatigue but does not increase the signaling events and muscle growth responses during low-load resistance exercise. Image
- The purpose of this study was to examine if reduced blood flow during exercise alters the acute signaling and training-induced muscle hypertrophy responses when exercise is performed to task failure.
- In the present study, the acute signaling responses 2 hours after low load-resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction performed to task failure were investigated.

This one suggests that low circulating adiponectin is a key damaging element for β-cells.
- Diluted plasma from human donors with obesity acutely impaired β-cell integrity and insulin secretion relative to plasma from lean subjects.
- Similar results were observed with diluted sera from obese rats fed ad libitum, when compared to sera from lean, calorically restricted, animals.
