This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Motor impairment can be caused by injury or neurological degeneration. One treatment method – the ketogenic diet (KD) – has received attention from clinicians and the public alike. KD works by inducing nutritional ketosis, where the body burns fat and protein for energy due to extremely low carbohydrate consumption. Unfortunately, although KD effectively improves motor outcomes in many neurometabolic conditions, patient adherence to the diet is difficult due to strict nutritional requirements and potential side effects. Alternative methods of achieving ketosis are needed – and ketone supplements are a possible solution. Researchers at the University of South Florida and Savaria University, Hungary investigated the effect of ketone supplements on motor performance in mice and rats. By treating the rodents with a variety of ketone combinations prior to a rotarod test, the researchers found that motor performance was improved to various degrees by ketone supplementation..."

"Diseases like epilepsy and diabetes are linked to inflammation and oxidative stress which can be further complicated by persistent high blood glucose levels Drug-based treatments can help, but issues of tolerance, effectiveness, and compliance can complicate treatment The ketogenic diet (KD) reduces blood glucose and insulin, helping individuals to manage their condition But adherence to a strict KD can be difficult A recent study at the University of South Florida identified a promising possible alternative to KD adherence Using rodent models of epilepsy and glucose intolerance as well as non-disease models Researchers evaluated blood glucose levels after administration of exogenous ketone supplements Animals given exogenous ketones had lower blood glucose levels, both when resting and after exercise This treatment was effective for all of the disease models evaluated, and it also helped reduce blood glucose in rodents without pathology at different age ranges Further preclinical and clin.."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Our gut microbiome has far-reaching effects on our bodies - including on our brain. Gut microbes primarily communicate with the brain via metabolites that are carried in the bloodstream. However, to influence neuronal cells, these metabolites must first interact with the blood-brain barrier (BBB). While diet influencing the brain has been well documented, the impacts of specific metabolites on the BBB are not. To close this gap, researchers combined cell culture and mouse models to examine two metabolites: trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursor trimethylamine (TMA). In humans, both TMAO and TMA are generated by the microbiota from dietary fish and seafood. At physiologically relevant concentrations, TMAO enhanced the integrity of the BBB and protected it from inflammatory damage. In fact, long-term exposure to TMAO in mice protected cognitive function from inflammatory challenge. In contrast, TMA impaired BBB function and disrupted the tight junctions between endothelial cells..."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"B-cells are a type of white blood cell that play an important role in the immune system, and some of these cells secrete a protein known as IL-35, which has been shown to regulate inflammation. Because the microorganisms living in the digestive system can have critical effects on the immune system of their host, scientists recently set out to uncover the link between these microbes and IL-35 production. The team found that certain microbes inhabiting the guts of mice, such as Lactobacillus bacteria, can promote the generation of IL-35-secreting B-cells and that they do this by producing 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) in the presence of lipopolysaccharides. They also found that IL-35 may help prevent mice fed a high-fat diet from becoming obese and observed lower levels of IAA in obese mice than in nonobese mice..."

In this module we will introduce you to concepts such as food security, food insecurity, nutrition security, livelihood security, food policies and programmes and the role of stakeholders and facilitators. You will gain the knowledge and skills required to gather information on many different levels, from the macro to the micro level. You will also, in time, become equipped to analyse community and household needs, understand the implications of policies and strategies for communities and households. You will eventually be able to report on the community situation regarding food insecurity and related issues and to advocate and request assistance for intervention.

In Module 4 you are revising the important concepts from Module 1 such as food security,food insecurity, nutrition security and livelihood security. We add nutrition for the vulnerable,food behaviour, food choices, dietary patterns and diet diversity, as well as the role played by different stakeholders involved in food security. Together with the households you will gain knowledge on these issues and help the households themselves to gather information about their nutrition related problems, vulnerability, risks and malnutrition. You will together with them analyse the causes of these problems on different levels, from the macro to the micro level. The most important set of skills you will learn is how to work with households as a facilitator.

How to feed the world by 2050: Actions in a changing climate
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

To achieve food security in a changing climate, the global community must operate within three limits: the quantity of food that can be produced under a given climate; the quantity needed by a growing and changing population; and the effect of food production on the climate. At present the planet operates outside that safe space, as witnessed by the enormous number of people who are undernourished. If current trends in population growth, diets, crop yields and climate change continue, the world will still be outside this ̢ĺŰĺ÷safe operating space̢ĺŰĺŞ in 2050. Humanity must urgently work to enlarge the safe space and also move the planet into the safe space (film credit: Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change, an initiative of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security, in collaboration with University of Minnesota Global Landscapes Initiative).

"New research reveals a previously unrecognized circuit for regulating blood glucose levels. This circuit supports a recently proposed mechanism for why patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery show reduced symptoms of diabetes, well before weight loss. Our bodies turn the carbohydrates, fats and proteins found in food into useful sugars, fatty acids and amino acids. After a meal, the pancreas works to keep our blood sugar level, or glycemia, high enough to keep our brain fed, yet low enough not to damage delicate tissues. It does that by secreting the regulatory hormone insulin. Insulin stimulates the storage of glucose as starch in the liver and muscle. While some amino acids can enhance insulin production, one of them actually does the opposite. Researchers demonstrated that nutritional tyrosine is converted to the neurotransmitter dopamine in the gut and stomach after eating..."
