Oral fatty acid taste sensitivity in healthy young individuals of both sexes is related to body mass index and soluble cd36 serum levels

Abstract

Introduction: Given the increment of overweight and obese children, it is relevant to study not only metabolic but also musculoskeletal consequences that may affect motor functionality such as flat foot in this population. Objetive: To identify the association between nutritional status and the prevalence of flat foot in Chilean children from 6 to10 years old. Methods: Z-score of body mass index and footprint using Hernandez-Corvo methodology were recorded and analyzed from 388 school children (52.3% girls). A two-sample proportion test was used to test differences between groups. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The prevalence of overweight children was over 40%. This prevalence was higher in women (47.8%) than in men (42.7%). The prevalence of children with flat foot was 17% and higher for the right foot (18.3%) than for the left foot (15.7%). There was a significant higher prevalence of flat foot in obese children in relation to overweight and normal weight children. Conclusion: Nutritional status is associated with greater prevalence of flat foot in children. In infantile population of 6 to 10 years old, obesity is associated with a morphological alteration of feet.

The association of soluble cluster of differentiation 36 with metabolic diseases: A potential biomarker and therapeutic target

“…Obese subjects had a 5.8 times higher risk of sCD36 in the third tertile than normal‐weight controls. However, in another study, BMI was negatively correlated with the sCD36 level in young women 92 . The association of sCD36 with BMI needs to be studied in larger populations.…”

“…However, in another study, BMI was negatively correlated with the sCD36 level in young women. 92 The association of sCD36 with BMI needs to be studied in larger populations. The effect of sCD36 may increase BMI and promote the development of obesity and associated metabolic diseases if sCD36 still has domains where lipid ligands bind.…”

Lipids, carbohydrates, or proteins, what do you prefer? An update review of physiological factors for food choice

“…According to Bricio-Barrios et al, people with mutations in CD36 have a lower perception of lipids, causing a greater preference for fats and oils. Moreover, the combination of low levels of this receptor with a high sensitivity threshold for fatty acids was observed in overweight and obese people, which is evidence of an inadequate lipid taste perception 10 . Another important factor is taste receptors.…”

“…These animals also showed lower levels of fat mass and triglycerides stored in the liver. It has been hypothesized that the ablation of these receptors reduced the activity in adipocytes (lipid metabolism alteration) and the pancreas (diminished hyperinsulinemia), conferring a protective effect against fat accumulation 10 .…”
