Fatty acids

Modern people generally live in a state of sub-health, and the high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar, and high-oil modern delicacies have changed the lives of modern people. The reasons are usually explained as a fast-paced modern lifestyle, overuse of drugs, lack of exercise, excess nutrition, etc. Such explanations are too broad, and while discussing these issues, we need a more concrete approach to solving them. The "Human Microbiome Project" launched in 2007 provides such an approach – the human microbiome. The human body is actually a superorganism composed of human cells and a large group of microorganisms living together symbiotically, with human cells accounting for 10% of the total cell count in the superorganism and human genes making up 1% of the total gene count. It can be said that any slight change in the health status of the human body involves microorganisms. Over 90% of the human microbiome resides in the gut. Ensuring a reasonable structure of the gut microbiome ensures one's own health. Around 2020, scientific understanding of the gut microbiome made frequent breakthroughs. We can now re-explain many issues from the perspective of the gut microbiome. Did you know? Our gut microbiome is shrinking. What is the problem with…

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of Tibetan tea combined with atorvastatin calcium in treating hyperlipidemia, 80 patients with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group of 40 each. The experimental group was treated with Tibetan tea combined with atorvastatin calcium, while the control group received only atorvastatin calcium. Changes in lipid levels, body composition measurements (body weight, body fat percentage, body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, visceral fat area), serum oxidative stress indicators [superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA)], and insulin resistance monitoring indicators [serum insulin, serum free fatty acids (FFA), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)] after 12 weeks of treatment were observed. Results: Compared to before treatment, the experimental group showed significantly reduced body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, visceral fat area, HOMA-IR, serum FFA, and MDA, as well as a significant increase in serum SOD. Compared to the control group, the experimental group had a significantly lower body fat percentage, body weight, waist circumference, visceral fat area, serum FFA, and MDA, as well as a significant increase in serum SOD. Clinical trials demonstrated that the combination of Tibetan tea and atorvastatin calcium is more effective in lowering lipids, reducing…
