Summary: This review focuses on the impact of manipulating energy and nutrient intake on circulating concentrations of testosterone and the potential mechanisms governing these changes. The importance of understanding how changes in macronutrient and micronutrient intake can influence the androgen response is emphasized.

Summary: The study found a U-shaped association between the percentage of energy from carbohydrate intake and new-onset diabetes, with the lowest risk at 49-56% of carbohydrate intake. There was an L-shaped association between high-quality carbohydrate intake and new-onset diabetes, and a J-shaped association of low-quality carbohydrate intake with new-onset diabetes. The findings suggest that consuming high-quality carbohydrates and substituting plant-based products for low-quality carbohydrates may help prevent diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of low carbohydrate intake on glucose homeostasis, inflammatory, and metabolic parameters in healthy individuals of a normal weight. The findings showed that low carbohydrate intake was significantly associated with dysregulated glucose homeostasis, metabolic acidosis, and the potential for inflammation triggered by elevated C-peptide.

Summary: Female field-based team sport athletes generally have insufficient dietary intake, particularly in terms of overall energy, carbohydrate, and iron intake, when compared to dietary recommendations. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind this and to explore the potential negative consequences.

Summary: A low-calorie saccharide preload significantly reduces subsequent food intake and overall calorie consumption, indicating it could be a promising support for reducing caloric intake. This study suggests a potential strategy for weight loss by triggering feelings of satiety through oral ingestion of carbohydrates.

Summary: Increasing dietary fat is positively associated with variations in food intake and body weight in mice, while dietary protein and carbohydrate intake do not show significant relationships. Variations in fat and lean mass are not significantly influenced by dietary protein, fat, or carbohydrate levels.

Summary: beta-Alanine (BA) is widely used for improving high-intensity exercise performance. However, the impact of dietary BA intake on muscle carnosine (MCarn) is not well understood. This study aimed to summarize available data on BA content in commonly consumed foods and investigate the association between dietary BA intake and skeletal MCarn in healthy individuals. The findings suggest that dietary strategies to increase MCarn may be limited, and supplementation may be necessary to achieve significant improvements in performance.

Summary: This study found that postmenopausal women with gallbladder disease have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially among those with central obesity. The results support further research to determine whether interventions in older women with gallbladder disease would reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between biomarkers and long-term radiation-induced cardiovascular disease (RICVD) in breast cancer survivors. The results showed that a higher 8-OH-dG ratio was significantly associated with an elevated long-term risk of RICVD, suggesting that oxidative DNA damage may be a potential pathway for RICVD.

Summary: We investigated the effects of two endogenous hormones on bone health in older women. Higher levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were associated with bone disease, particularly in lower levels of estradiol. FSH attenuates the relationship between estradiol and bone density, which may have implications for future clinical interventions on bone loss.

Summary: This study examined whether giving birth to male infants increases the risk of maternal mortality. The results showed that women who give birth to male infants do not have an increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, suggesting that giving birth to male infants may not influence the long-term health of women.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) and individual patient data (IPD) was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on cancer mortality in the general population and on prognosis in cancer patients. The main meta-analysis of the 14 RCTs showed a non-significant reduction in cancer mortality by 6%. Subgroup analyses revealed a significant reduction in cancer mortality in trials with daily dosing, while no reduction was seen in trials using a bolus regimen. The IPD meta-analysis confirmed the findings of all trials.

Summary: Osteoporosis has a major impact on postmenopausal women, and it is influenced by environmental exposures. This study found that criteria air pollutants, such as PM10, NO, NO2, and SO2, were negatively associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Nitrogen oxides exposure was identified as the leading contributor to bone loss in this population.
