Course builds on an understanding of physiology and of nutrition research from BIOL 3204 and NSCI 3011. Course Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this course include NSCI 3011 and BIOL 3204. Course Objectives: By the end of the course, you will be able to: 1) Interpret the findings from original research articles focused on chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, and cancer. 2) Integrate information from physiology (BIOL 3204) and previous nutrition courses in the context of the pathophysiology of disease. 3) Understand the rationale for research design choices, including experimental design and statistical analyses. 4) Discuss the rationale for the use of particular research methods (e.g., nutrition or dietary assessment tools, laboratory techniques) in studies. 5) Identify the role of complementary medicine in disease prevention and/or treatment. 6) Appreciate the importance of scientific evidence provided by all of the different types of research. TEXT: No textbook is required. Required readings will be assigned from original research articles and different types of review articles. All assigned readings will be posted to Brightspace and should be completed prior to the date that the topic is to be covered in class. If further review materials related to the pathophysiology or nutritional concept are needed, then you should pursue additional resources. STYLE & MODE OF TEACHING: The class will consist of primarily discussion, small group work and interactive lecture sessions. Students should attend each class having read the assigned readings and prepared to participate in the discussion with questions related to the assigned readings. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students are expected to attend class in order to be successful. Excused absences are for university- sponsored activities or medical emergencies only, and these require documentation. Students should notify the instructor in advance of “excused” absences (i.e. before class starts) in order to have the opportunity to earn credit for missed work. The following are specific policies related to attendance: If your absence is for an excused reason (with documentation) and instructor is notified before the beginning of class: o Your reading assignment will be graded for full credit, as long as it is still submitted to the dropbox on time. o If you missed a quiz, you will be eligible to make up a modified version for full credit during the next week’s office hours. o If you missed miscellaneous/participation points, you will not be able to make these up. If your absence is not for an excused reason: o Your reading assignment will be graded for 50% credit (i.e. max of 10 points), as long as it is still submitted to the dropbox on time. o If you missed a quiz or miscellaneous/participation points, you will not be able to make these up. GRADING PROCEDURES: Your final grade will be based on your performance on reading assignments, miscellaneous assignments and a final exam. Grades will be calculated as follows: Reading Assignments* (10 @ 20 pts each) 200 pts Group Activities/ Miscellaneous Participation 60 pts Quizzes 50 pts Midterm Exam 40 pts Exam 50 pts Total 400 pts Grading Scale: 90 – 100 % A 80 – 89 % B 70 – 79 % C 60 – 69 % D < 59 % F *11 readings are assigned; 10 are counted. The lowest grade will be dropped. Assignment grades are final 2 weeks after being posted to the Brightspace gradebook. In other words, if a student desires to appeal a grade, they must do so within this 2-week window. READING ASSIGNMENTS: Original research and review articles will be assigned during the semester. Students will be responsible for understanding the concepts in the articles as they relate to the pathophysiology of chronic disease. Eleven research articles (please see schedule below) will be assigned that will require students to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of key components of the reading by participating in discussions in class and by answering the ten questions listed below. A typewritten copy of your answers will be submitted to a Brightspace dropbox prior to class and a hard copy turned in at the beginning of class on the day of the assigned reading. At the top of the page, you should include your name and the citation for the reading. You must be present in class in order to have the chance to get full credit for these assignments and for class participation. 1. In your opinion, did the author(s) provide adequate rationale for the study? 2. What was the purpose(s), research question(s) and/or hypothesis(ses) that is being tested in this research study? 3. What was the study design that was used? 4. Who is the population of interest? 5. What was the primary exposure(s)/ independent variable(s) in the study? 6. What was the primary outcome(s)/ dependent variable(s) in the study? 7. What were the primary statistical tests used? 8. What, in your opinion, were the most important findings? Explain why. 9. What are the implications of this research? Provide the rationale for your answer. 10. On a scale from 1 to 5 with 1 being “completely lacking confidence” and 5 being “very confident,” how confident were you in reading this article, understanding it, and answering questions 1–9? **Please write in complete sentences and make sure you answer the above questions in your own words. Do not simply copy and paste from the original article. **Please note that since we will be discussing the answers to the questions above during class, no late assignments will be accepted. MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENTS/ ACTIVITIES: Various in-class activities will be assigned throughout the semester to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the material and ability to process and integrate that information into practice. Any required group work will be completed in class. These assignments are designed to help you work toward developing stronger critical thinking skills related to nutrition and the pathophysiology of chronic disease. QUIZZES: Several small quizzes (5-10 points each, worth a total of 50 points) will be given throughout the semester. These will be given at the beginning of class and will contain a mix of content covered in the previous lecture and the assigned reading for the current week. The purpose of these quizzes is to assess understanding of lecture and reading content, as well as to help prepare students for exams. EXAMS: Two exams will be given during this semester. A midterm exam will be given the week before spring break, and will be worth 40 points. A final exam will be given during finals week, which will be worth 50 points. The final exam will primarily focus on material from the second half of the course, although please understand that course material builds upon itself, so there will be some skills and principles that carry over from the first half of the course. Exam questions will be very similar in nature to quiz questions. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS: According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, each student with a disability is responsible for notifying the University of his/her disability and to request accommodations. If any member of a class thinks that he/she has a qualified disability and needs special accommodations, he/she should notify the instructor and request verification of eligibility for accommodations from the Office of Student Disability Services, 315 Student Union. Please advise the instructor of such disability as soon as possible, and contact Student Disability Services, to ensure timely implementation of appropriate accommodations.

Division of Human Nutrition, Wageningen University, the Netherlands Abstract Objective To study the association between high fat-low carbohydrate diet score and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in Chinese population. Methods Data about 20 717 subjects aged 45-59 years from the cross-sectional 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey were analyzed. High fat-low carbohydrate diet was scored according to the energy of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Results Of the 20 717 subjects, 1 332 were diagnosed with hyperglycemia and 662 were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Multivariate adjusted analysis showed that the highest score of type 2 diabetes patients was 2.75 (95% CI: 2.09-3.61). The score of type 2 diabetes patients was 1.87 (95% CI: 1.35-2.58) after further adjustment for their socioeconomic status and physical activity. No significant difference was found in the odds ratio after further adjustment for BMI, blood pressure, lipid level, and energy intake. No evidence was observed for the relation between high fat-low carbohydrate-diet score in type 2 diabetes patients due to high family income, less education, physical activity, overweight, hypertension, high TG, or low HDL level.

Sprague-Dawley dams were fed either chow or a high-fat diet, before mating, during pregnancy, and into lactation. At weaning, their ofspring were randomly fed chow or a high-fat diet. Four experimental groups were generated: CC (maternal/postnatal chow diet), HC (maternal high-fat/postnatal chow diet), CH (maternal chow/postnatal high-fat diet), and HH (maternal/postnatal high-fat diet). A ffth group consisted of HH plus resveratrol. The 4 month- old ofspring of HH group had higher body weight, higher levels of plasma triglycerides, leptin, angiotensin I and angiotensin II and abnormal intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test results, which fulflled the features of metabolic syndrome. The dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system was seen in multiple organs. Sirtuin 1 expression/abundance was reduced by a maternal/postnatal high-fat diet, in all the organs examined. Resveratrol ameliorated most of the features of metabolic syndrome and molecular alterations. The administration of a high-fat diet in both periods showed interactive metabolic efects in the plasma and many organs.

  • Dietary Information for Diabetes Patients
    DEPARTMENT OF ENDOCRINOLOGY, DIABETES & METABOLISM, CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE, VELLORE DIETARY INFORMATION FOR DIABETES PATIENTS Role of Diet in Diabetes Diet plays an important role in the management of Diabetes Mellitus. Eating the right foods at the correct time is crucial for maintaining acceptable blood glucose values. Knowing what food to eat, when to eat and how much to eat, helps one to monitor blood glucose levels and maintain it within the normal range. This gives him/her the confidence to lead a healthy normal life and achieve his/her maximum potential. What is food composed of? Foods we eat contain various components. This includes nutrients, fibre and water. Their role in our body is explained below: • Fat- gives us energy • Vitamins –regulates body functions • Minerals- regulates body functions • Fibre- regulates blood glucose levels • Carbohydrates- gives us • Water- regulates various energy functions • Proteins- body building Carbohydrates directly cause an increase in the blood sugar levels.There are different types of carbohydrates and their effect on raising the blood sugar levels vary. What happens to Carbohydrates in the body? Carbohydrates are broken to sugars. This enters every body cell with help of insulin to provide energy.When food is broken into sugars, it enters the blood stream. Some foods are broken faster and appear in the blood stream quickly. Some foods take longer to be broken, hence appear slower in the blood stream. Glycaemic index of foods Glycaemic index is a measure of the rise in blood sugar after consumption of a particular food as compared to a reference food. Foods are classified according to their glycaemic index.
