[The dynamic functional-morphological changes in the small intestine of obese patients undergoing weight-reducing diet therapy].

Two groups of pathogenetic mucosal changes peculiar to fasting period were revealed in 28 obese patients: a structural rearrangement of mucosa with inhibition of mitotic activity of epithelial crypts, and the inflammatory responses manifested by increased cellular infiltration of stroma and compensatory-adaptive changes of capillary bed structures. The adequate dietotherapy provided full recovery of the mucosa tissue parameters on the 26th day.

[The lipoprotein status in persons with borderline glucose tolerance impairment before and after a reducing diet].

The well known association between non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) is one of the leading causes of high incidence and mortality for cardiovascular disease of diabetic patients. For auspicious and effective treatment of NIDDM and its complications, secondary prevention, that is, an early detection, plays a major role. At the same time high concern should be given to the benefits of early detection and treatment of atherogenic HLP at early stages of diabetes mellitus, for their occurrence in borderline impairment of glucose tolerance (G-OGT) is still evasive. The investigation on the occurrence and incidence of HLP in G-OGT was carried out in 576 adults (310 men and 266 women) with recently detected G-OGT. The results were compared with those obtained in the non-G-OGT group (50 men and 52 women). Values of total LDL cholesterol as well as triglycerides in the blood of the subjects of either sex highly exceeded recommended values and were higher than in the controls. HDL cholesterol was significantly decreased while the values of the LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio and total triglycerides were significantly higher. Atherogenic hyperlipoproteinemia was evidenced in 52.58% of men and 50.75% of women with G-OGT and in 36.00% of men and 32.69% of women with normal G-OGT. After a one-year dietetic regimen all the lipid parameters evidently improved in both men and women, while the incidence of atherogenic hyperlipoproteinemia fell to 40.82% of the men and 31.32% of the women.

[Cardiac effects of a reducing diet].

40 in-patients have been treated by modified fasting during 4 weeks. Routine ECG's and radiological controls of heart size did not show signs of myocardial lesions or of an impairment of the generation, propagation or dissipation of cardiac impulse. Slightly elevated serum levels of CK, CK-MB, alpha-HBDH, SGOT, and SGPT could indicate a reduction of fat-free body-mass including some elements of myocardium. Potassium and magnesium levels should be controlled and sometimes corrected by ingestion of electrolyte preparations. Under the conditions described and with the methods we used, we could not demonstrate an increased cardiac risk during a weight reduction cure by modified fasting of moderate duration. This should also apply to low-calorie diets with a deficit of about 1000 cal./day, whilst total fasting and the substitution with protein preparations of poor nutritional value must be considered as risky procedures.

[Treatment of obesity with energy reducing diet. Results of dietary advice during a period of 17 years].

The results of treatment of obesity by means of conventional dietary advice in the nutritional physiological laboratory. The Municipal Hospital, Copenhagen, during a period of 17 years are reviewed. This review involves 1,640 patients, 973 women and 667 men. 31% had a body mass index (BMI) of 25-29 kg/m2, 59% had BMI of 30-39 kg/m2 and 10% had BMI greater than or equal to 40 kg/m2. After 12 weeks, a total of 56.4% and after 16 weeks 50% of the patients were still receiving treatment. The weight-loss by the 12th week averaged 6.7 kg for women and 7.8 kg and 9.2 kg, respectively. The percentage of defaulters by the 12th week was independent of sex, initial BMI and the presence of other possible diagnoses but was significantly higher for the younger patients (less than 40 years) as compared with the older patients (greater than or equal to 40 years). The weight-loss at the 12th week was independent of age but was significantly positively correlated to high initial BMI and presumably high energy intake in the dietary history. The number of control weighings (frequency of attendance) was the parameter which best correlated to the weight-loss with an average weight-loss of 0.14 kg per attendance.

Changes in intraventricular septal thickness, left ventrical wall thickness and left ventricular volume in obese adolescents on a high protein weight reducing diet.

Ten obese adolescents (153 percent ideal body weight) underwent significant weight reduction over a two to three month period using a low calorie, low carbohydrate, protein diet. The subjects lost a mean of 13.9 +/- 4.3 kg, representing a decrease of 15.5 +/- 5.0 percent of initial body weight. Serial measures of intraventricular septal thickness (ST), left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) and left ventricular volume (LVV) were determined by standard m-mode echocardiographic methods over 14 weeks to determine the effect of weight reduction on these indicators of cardiac size. The ST changed over the study period from 8.2 +/- 1.9 mm to 7.3 +/- 2.0 mm; the LVWT from 7.6 +/- 1.8 mm to 6.3 +/- 1.1 mm; and the LVV from 47.1 +/- 4.0 mm to 42.0 +/- 2.8 mm. These numerical decreases were not significantly different. Over this study period, the diet allowed weight loss with no apparent effect on the cardiac size (ST, LVWT, LVV) as measured by echocardiography in these obese adolescents.

Nutrition evaluation of published weight-reducing diets.

The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional adequacy of some of the popular published diet plans. Diet analyses were made using the University of Massachusetts Nutrient Data Bank. Not one of the 11 diets evaluated provided 100% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for the 13 vitamins and minerals studied. The nutrients most often below recommended levels were thiamin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Vitamin and mineral supplementation may be warranted for individuals following some diet plans.
