TL;DR: In this article, the effects of quinoa on the biochemical and anthropometric profile and blood pressure in humans, parameters for measuring risk of cardiovascular diseases, were investigated and the results indicated that quinoa had beneficial effects on part of the population studied since the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-c showed reduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review aimed to evaluate the relationship between the traditional components of metabolic syndrome (MS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD), inflammation, and oxidative stress, and found that chronic low-grade inflammatory states and metaflammation are often accompanied by metabolic changes directly related to CVD incidence.

TL;DR: Myokines are protagonists in the complex condition of sarcopenia, which is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CVD and the discovery of new pathways and the link between myokines and CVD remain a cornerstone toward multifaceted interventions and perhaps the minimization of the damage resulting from muscle loss induced by factors such as atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may influence the development or course of IBD by reducing oxidative stress, production of tumor necrosis factor-α and proinflammatory cytokines; working as chemopreventive agents; and decreasing the expression of adhesion molecules.
