TL;DR: Current knowledge on carotenoids and metabolites with respect to their ability to modulate inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways are summarized and potential dose-health relations are discussed.

TL;DR: For the treatment of NAFLD, 12 weeks of supplementation of 500 mg resveratrol, along with lifestyle modification, is superior to lifestyle modification alone, at least partially due to the attenuation of inflammatory markers and hepatocellular apoptosis.

TL;DR: Whole grain foods make a substantial contribution to total dietary fiber intake and should be promoted to meet recommendations.

TL;DR: It is suggested that taking 1500 mg cinnamon daily may be effective in improving NAFLD characteristics.

TL;DR: Additional prospective and high quality randomized controlled trial studies that investigate Mediterranean dietary pattern, the dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet, and the Nordic Diet would cement the protective benefits of these diets against the MetS.

TL;DR: It is suggested that garlic and garlic derived bioactives have significant medicinal properties with the potential for ameliorating hypertension and associated morbidity; however, further clinical and epidemiological studies are required to determine completely the specific physiological and biochemical mechanisms involved in disease prevention and management.

TL;DR: In overweight older subjects, beetroot juice concentrate supplementation was associated with beneficial effects on daily systolic BP, although the effects were not significant when measured by 24-hour ABPM or resting clinic BP.

TL;DR: This study shows that mean intake of DF is far below recommendations, with children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years consuming an average of less than 14 g of DF per day.

TL;DR: This study, which tested the inflammatory capacity of the DII outside the United States, did not detect a significant independent relationship with cardiometabolic biomarkers, by using Food Frequency Questionnaire-collected data.

TL;DR: It is concluded that BB ingestion for 6 weeks increases NK cells and reduces AIx, ASP, and diastolic pressures in sedentary males and females.

TL;DR: It is suggested that later relative timing of meals, particularly eating close to sleep, could lead to weight gain due to a greater number of eating occasions and higher total daily caloric intake.

TL;DR: The pooled analysis suggests that krill oil is effective in reducing a cardiovascular risk factor, however, owing to the individual fluctuations of TG concentrations measured, a study with more individual measurements per treatment group is needed to increase the confidence of these findings.

TL;DR: Since intake of dietary supplements, as well as exposure to damaging environmental factors, is largely dependent on population habits and geographical localization, an overall healthy diet appears to be the best strategy in reducing the risk of developing AMD.

TL;DR: Dietary iron from Moringa leaf was found to be superior compared with ferric citrate in overcoming the effects of iron deficiency in rats, and changes in the relative expression of liver hepcidin messenger RNA can be used as a sensitive molecular marker for iron deficiency.

TL;DR: This work offers some encouragement for T2D patients regarding PJ consumption as an additional contribution to control glucose levels, as it demonstrated decreased FSG, increased β-cell function, and decreased insulin resistance among T1D participants, 3 hours after PJ administration.

TL;DR: It appears that LF supplementation alleviated immunosenescence, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, and resisted E coli infection in aging mice; thereby, signifying its potential in augmenting healthy aging.

TL;DR: It is suggested that soybean oligosaccharide supplementation modifies the intestinal ecosystem in weaned Huanjiang mini-piglets and has potentially beneficial effects on the gut.

TL;DR: A dose-response relationship of oral glucocorticoid therapy on energy intake, appetite, BW, or body composition was not found and well-designed, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials that use standardized doses of OCS are strongly justified to confirm the findings.

TL;DR: Examination of the associations between depressive symptoms and diet and physical activity in lower-income overweight and obese African American women found that depressive symptoms were positively associated with total daily caloric intake from saturated fat and total sugars, as well as emotional eating scores.

TL;DR: The preliminary results suggest that engagement with social media and adoption of a vegan diet may be effective for promoting short-term weight loss among women with PCOS; however, a larger trial that addresses potential high attrition rates is needed to confirm these results.

TL;DR: Treatment with a high-fiber, low-fat diet for 8 weeks effectively improved periodontal disease markers as well as metabolic profiles, at least in part, by effects other than the reduction of total energy intake.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a single ingestion of CPP improves peripheral endothelial function after glucose loading in healthy subjects, and the difference between treatments was statistically significant.

TL;DR: It is suggested that lotus root exerts anti-oxidant and anti-obesity effects and could be used as a functional and nutraceutical ingredient in combatting obesity-related diseases.

TL;DR: The present results indicated that phytoestrogens may offer the most potential for the prevention of bone loss by reducing the expected loss of trabecular bone and bone mineral density.

TL;DR: It is suggested that phytic acid and myo-inositol increase insulin sensitivity in adipocytes by increasing lipid storage capacity, improving glucose uptake, and inhibiting lipolysis.

TL;DR: Only milk intake seems to be inversely related to cardiometabolic risk score in adolescents, and no association was found between dairy product intake and total dairy, yogurt, and cheese intake.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that higher total dairy food consumption would be independently associated with reduced prevalence of obesity and increasing consumption of dairy foods may have the potential to lower the prevalence of global and abdominal obesity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nut consumption on metabolic parameters and biomarkers related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial function in Korean adults with metabolic syndrome were investigated in a randomized, parallel, controlled dietary intervention study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02023749).

TL;DR: Structural equation modeling revealed that body dissatisfaction caused dietary restraint, thus triggering binge eating, and a model including dieting status, overvaluation of weight and shape, shape satisfaction, and self-esteem showed the best fit.

TL;DR: The results suggest that olive leaf extract may attenuate insulin resistance by suppressing mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines and elevating of insulin receptor substrate 1 expression.
