“…Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was used to outline the metabolic profile of the enrolled population. BMR indicates the minimum energy required to maintain all the vital activities and functions in the awake state [ 15 ]. This is estimated through several equations; among them, the Harris–Benedict equation is a good method to predict BMR taking into account anthropometric factors, including age, weight, and height [ 16 ].…”

Salivary microbiota, comprising bacteria shed from oral surfaces, has been shown to be individualized, temporally stable, and influenced by macronutrient intake and lifestyle. Nevertheless, the effect of long-term dietary patterns on oral microbiota composition and the relationship between oral microbiota composition and metabolic rate remains to be examined. Herein, salivary microbiota composition and metabolic profile were analyzed in human subjects with vegan (VEG) or Mediterranean (MED) long-term dietary patterns. MED subjects presented significantly higher percentages of Subflava and Prevotella species as compared to VEG ones. Moreover, MED subjects showed a lower carbohydrate and a higher lipid consumption than VEG subjects, and, accordingly, a significantly higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) and a lower respiratory quotient (RQ). Prevotella abundance was demonstrated to be inversely related to RQ and carbohydrate consumption, whereas Subflava percentages were demonstrated to be positively correlated to BMR. Lactobacillus abundance, which was inversely related to Subflava presence in MED subjects, was associated with decreased BMR (Harris–Benedict) values. Overall, our data evidence the influence of macronutrient intake on metabolic profile and oral microbiota and confirm the positive effects of the Mediterranean diet on BMR and on the abundance of microbial species associated with a better macronutrient metabolism.

“…They are a key regulator of the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) which is one of the major components of energy expenditure. In humans, BMR decrease can lead to obesity (Khan et al, 2020;Taousani et al, 2017). They play an important role in calcium homeostasis (calcitonin, which is stimulated by hypercalcemia, fights against it) (Khan et al, 2020;Felsenfeld and Levine, 2015) and bone mineral homeostasis and density (deposition of calcium and phosphate in the bones) (Khan et al, 2020).…”

The thyroid gland secretes essential hormones for the growth regulation and the metabolic activity of the body. Thyroid dysfunction includes many conditions that can indirectly affect dental treatments. Therefore, the practitioner must be aware of these pathologies and their signs and symptoms in order to elaborate specific dental treatment plans, thus avoiding any per-and/or postoperative complications. Moreover, the dentist can help in the screening of undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction among patients.

“…Many risk factors for GDM have been identified and incorporated into clinical practice recommendations [5,6], including age, race, BMI, family history of diabetes, previous history of GDM, and multiple pregnancies [7], insulin, fasting glucose, free fatty acids, triglycerides, hepatic lipase, and low-density lipoprotein [8]. Like a metabolic disease, the energy metabolism factor of pregnant women also plays a key role in the control of GDM [9,10].…”

BACKGROUND: Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the standard for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, clinically, some cases with normal results were diagnosed as GDM in the third trimester. OBJECTIVE: To establish a risk model based on energy metabolism, epidemiology, and biochemistry that could predict the GDM pregnant women with normal OGTT results in the second trimester. METHODS: Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed to find out the risk factors, and the binary logistic backward LR regression was used to establish the prediction model of each factor and comprehensive factor, respectively. RESULTS: The risk factors including the rest energy expenditure per kilogram of body weight, oxygen consumption per kilogram of body weight, whether to meet the weight gain criteria of the Institute of Medicine, the increase of body mass index between the second trimester and pre-pregnancy, and fasting blood glucose. By comparison, the comprehensive model had the best prediction performance, indicating that 85% of high-risk individuals were correctly classified. CONCLUSION: Energy metabolism, epidemiology, and biochemistry had better recognition ability for the GDM pregnant women with normal OGTT results in the second trimester. The addition of metabolic factors in the second trimester also improved the overall prediction performance.
