Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether serum oxidative stress markers differ in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients' groups based on left ventricular (LV) geometry and function. The results revealed no significant differences in concentrations of oxidant (NT-Tyr, PC, MDA) and antioxidant (TAC and catalase) markers among CHF patients with different LV function and geometry. LV geometry may be associated with lipid metabolism in CHF patients, but no correlation was found between oxidative/antioxidant markers and LV markers in CHF patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of different polyphenolic antioxidant-rich beverages on five-a-side/futsal players. The results showed that oxidative stress markers significantly increased in the blood after the match, while the almond-based beverage supplemented group had significantly lower malondialdehyde levels in neutrophils compared to the control group. In conclusion, polyphenolic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplements could aid in optimal recovery after high-intensity futsal games.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in community settings in Ethiopia. The results showed that approximately one-third of Ethiopians have NCDs, with cardiovascular diseases being the most common. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus appears relatively low, but there is evidence of high prevalence of respiratory conditions. This study is important for guiding public health actions to address the burden of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as the increasing prevalence of diabetes in Ethiopia.

Summary: Oxidative stress and inflammation play an important role in the development of various non-communicable diseases. Tree nuts and peanuts have been found to reduce risk factors related to cardiometabolic diseases. Some nuts, like almonds and walnuts, may have a positive effect on inflammation, while others, like Brazil nuts, may help reduce oxidative stress. However, more research is needed to determine the specific effects of different nut types.

Summary: Iron accumulation with age can lead to cellular aging and systemic disorders. Research has identified its involvement in various diseases and conditions. Therapeutic approaches to reduce iron levels, such as phlebotomy and iron chelation, have become standard care. Iron chelators may play an increasingly important role in promoting health and preventing age-related diseases.

Summary: Migraine, one of the most common causes of disability in adults, has been associated with gut dysbiosis, as the intestine is capable of modulating central nervous system activities. In addition to conventional pharmacological treatments, modifying nutrition and lifestyle to positively influence gut microbiota composition may serve as a beneficial adjunct therapy for various migraine subtypes.

Summary: The study found that individuals with noncommunicable chronic diseases in the Chinese general population are more likely to experience stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Furthermore, those with multiple comorbidities and longer disease duration have a higher risk of psychological symptoms. This highlights the importance of addressing the mental health issues of patients with NCDs.

Summary: Chronic inflammation contributes to atherosclerosis by inducing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. MAA-modified proteins can generate specific antibodies and modulate cellular metabolism to enhance the inflammatory response. The unique responses elicited by different MAA-modified proteins highlight the complexity of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Summary: Redox regulation plays a crucial role in controlling metabolism, with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species participating in various physiological reactions. Air pollution, particularly ambient particulate matter, containing transition metals and organic compounds, can induce inflammation, gene expression modulation, and activation of transcription factors, which contribute to the development of chronic respiratory diseases. This article provides an overview of the interaction between air pollution and redox regulation in the human body and its association with chronic respiratory diseases.

Summary: This cross-sectional study compared the levels of oxidative stress biomarkers in vegans and omnivores, showing that protein carbonyl and malondialdehyde concentrations did not differ between the two groups. However, Finnish vegans had lower concentrations of 3-nitrotyrosine, and German vegans had lower excretion levels of 8-iso-PGF2α, with a trend for lower levels of 8-OHdG. These findings contribute to understanding the relationship between diet and oxidative stress.

Summary: The effects of coffee on glucose metabolism in obesity are controversial. Results showed that chronic coffee consumption did not ameliorate the negative effects on glucose metabolism induced by a high-fat diet, but it did improve antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses, increase insulin secretion, and promote muscle glycogen synthesis.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This psychometric study proposed a scale for estimating the consumption of ultra processed foods using item response theory. The study used data from a representative sample of 2515 adolescents aged 18 and 19 from Brazilian Birth Cohorts Consortium. The findings demonstrated that the proposed scale can accurately estimate the consumption of ultra processed foods and is correlated with latent traits related to food consumption.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
