Ketogenic Diets for Body Weight Loss: A Comparison with Other Diets

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(6), P. 965 - 965

Published: March 10, 2025

With the prevalence of obesity and overweight increasing at an alarming rate, more researchers are focused on identifying effective weight loss strategies. The ketogenic diet (KD), used as a treatment in epilepsy management for over 100 years, is additionally gaining popularity method. Although its efficacy well documented, areas where it may be beneficial to other dietary approaches need carefully examined. objective this paper identify potential benefits KD alternative strategies based comprehensive literature review. It has been shown that bioenergetically efficient than strategies, inter alia owing effect curtailing hunger, improving satiety decreasing appetite (influence hunger hormones sensation hunger), inducing faster initial (associated with lower glycogen levels reduced water retention), controlling glycaemia insulinemia (directly attributable low-carbohydrate nature indirectly described). These effects accompanied by improved insulin sensitivity, inflammation (through ketone bodies avoidance pro-inflammatory sugars), pharmacological control (the diet’s mechanisms similar those medication but without side effects), positive impacts psychological factors food addiction. Based authors’ review latest research, reasonable conclude that, due these many additional health benefits, advantageous diet-based This important hypothesis deserves further exploration, which could achieved including outcome measures future clinical trials, especially when comparing different diets equal caloric value.

Proteomics was used to study the effect of semaglutide on expression renal protein in obese mice, and looking for proteins that could improve prognosis Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC). Thirty-six mice were randomly divided into normal-fat diet group (NFD), high-fat (HFD), plus intervention (HS). Collected serum, urine, kidney tissue samples, detected urinary protein/creatinine, blood glucose, lipid, inflammation, oxidative stress other related indicators. Different staining methods analyze pathological changes mice's kidneys. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis total kidneys mice. Finally, bioinformatics technology significantly different expressed (DEPs). The mechanism protecting phosphorylation, PPAR signaling pathway, thiamine, butyric acid tryptophan metabolism pathways. Moreover, increase Man1a1 Ntn4 while high-expression KIRC population had a better overall survival rate. Semaglutide regulate development by up-adjusting Ntn4.

Diseases, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(5), P. 129 - 129

Published: April 22, 2025

Obesity is a growing global health challenge, necessitating effective treatment options beyond lifestyle interventions. This narrative review explores established and emerging pharmacotherapies for weight management, including parenteral agents like Liraglutide, Semaglutide, Setmelanotide, Tirzepatide, as well peroral medications such Phentermine, Phentermine/Topiramate, Bupropion/Naltrexone, Orlistat, Metformin. Newer treatments Cagrilintide Bimagrumab show promise enhancing loss outcomes. Parenteral GLP-1 receptor agonists demonstrate superior efficacy compared to traditional medications, with gastrointestinal side effects being the most common. Artificial intelligence presents intriguing opportunities enhance strategies; however, its integration into clinical practice remains investigational requires rigorous validation. While current anti-obesity deliver significant benefits, future research must determine efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness of AI-driven approaches. includes exploring how AI can complement combination therapies tailor personalized interventions, thereby grounding potential benefits in robust evidence. Future directions will focus on integrating trials refine personalize obesity management strategies.
