Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary linseed oil (LSO) supplementation and DGAT1 K232A (DGAT1) polymorphism on the composition and crystallization of bovine milk fat. The results showed that LSO supplementation increased unsaturated triacylglycerols and reduced saturated triacylglycerols in the milk fat. The DGAT1 KK genotype was associated with higher levels of odd-chain saturated triacylglycerols and increased high-melting fraction.

Summary: This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of neurology residents in providing dietary counseling to stroke patients. The findings indicate that while they recognize the importance of diet in stroke prevention, their practical knowledge and training in nutrition are insufficient.

Summary: This study investigated the association between nutritional factors and cognitive performance in euthymic individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). Results showed that individuals with BD performed worse in cognitive tests and waist to height ratio was negatively correlated with cognitive function. However, no significant differences in nutritional factors were found between individuals with BD and controls.

Summary: Hypertriglyceridemia is a lipid disorder that can range in prevalence, being very common when considering slightly elevated triglyceride plasma values and extremely rare when only severely elevated levels are considered. The severe forms are often caused by genetic mutations, while secondary forms are usually less severe and can be linked to various diseases or drugs. Nutritional intervention plays a crucial role in treating hypertriglyceridemia, with different approaches for different forms.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventative effects of MCE on obesity and related metabolic syndromes and to elucidate the mechanisms from the perspective of gut microbiota and white adipose tissues transcriptomic profiles. The results showed that MCE significantly reduced body weight, inhibited adipocyte hypertrophy, and ameliorated hepatic steatosis. Additionally, MCE improved gut microbiota dysbiosis and altered gene expression profiles in white adipose tissues.

Summary: Childhood obesity and overweight rates are increasing exponentially, posing consequences for both the present and future lives of children. This article investigates the effectiveness of nutrition intervention programs in children aged 3-12 worldwide, using systematic review methods. The results reveal that these programs have a positive impact on knowledge and behaviors related to healthy habits and lead to a reduction in body mass index. However, income disparities and geographic variations were also identified. The article concludes by encouraging schools to incorporate these programs into their curriculum and emphasizing the importance of involving families.

Summary: In this study, the preventive benefits of Cedryl acetate (CA) on obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndrome caused by a high-fat diet (HFD) were investigated. CA supplementation significantly reduced weight gain induced by an HFD, decreased the weight of the visceral fat pads, and prevented adipocyte hypertrophy in mice. Moreover, CA showed significant improvements in metabolic parameters and gene expression related to metabolism in the liver and white adipose tissues of mice fed an HFD.

Summary: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend daily consumption of low-fat and fat-free dairy products, with milk playing an important role in the nutrition of children and adolescents. However, milk consumption is declining, and it is necessary to study the impact of flavored milk on healthy dietary patterns.

Summary: Women of childbearing age in Western societies are increasingly adopting vegetarian diets, but little is known about the composition of their milk. This study compared the intake, nutritional status, and composition of human milk from omnivore milk donors and vegetarian/vegan lactating mothers. The results showed that the milk of vegetarian/vegan mothers had lower levels of DHA, indicating the need for proper supplementation.

Summary: This review evaluates the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and adult obesity. The analysis of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies suggests a positive association between high UPF consumption and obesity, with potential causal influence. The potential mechanisms by which UPF increase obesity risk include increased sugar consumption, decreased fiber consumption, and decreased protein density. Further research is needed to establish causality and elucidate the mechanisms.

Summary: Healthy individuals experience variation in blood pressure over a 24-hour period, with higher levels during wakefulness and lower levels during sleep. Disruption of the blood pressure circadian rhythm has been associated with negative health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, dementia, and chronic kidney disease. Current approaches to diagnosis and treatment do not adequately consider the circadian rhythmicity of blood pressure. This review summarizes findings from a workshop held by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to identify knowledge gaps and research opportunities related to the study of blood pressure circadian rhythm and chronotherapy for hypertension.

Summary: This study investigated the link between taste perception and eating/sleep patterns, as well as the effect of genetic factors on obesity phenotypes. The study found associations between bitter taste perception and eating patterns, sleep duration, and midpoint. Additionally, significant gene-sleep interactions were observed between sleep time and several genetic variants linked to obesity phenotypes. However, further research is needed to better understand the causality and mechanisms behind these associations.

Summary: A meta-analysis of mitochondrial disease patients demonstrates that OxPhos defects contribute to hypermetabolism. Patient-derived fibroblast experiments confirm that mitochondrial OxPhos defects induce cell-autonomous hypermetabolism, which is associated with accelerated telomere shortening and epigenetic aging.

Summary: This pilot study investigated the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 7-week remote intervention that combined well-being therapy and sleep hygiene to improve sleep and psychological outcomes in adults with poor sleep and distress. The results showed that the addition of well-being therapy to sleep hygiene led to greater improvements in sleep quality and psychological outcomes compared to sleep hygiene-only.

Summary: There are associations between multidimensional sleep health and adiposity measures in patients with HFpEF. Poor sleep quality is related to higher BMI and decreased subcutaneous and intermuscular thigh fat. Night movement and sleep fragmentation are linked to increased intermuscular thigh fat and decreased liver fat. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) risk is associated with increased visceral-to-subcutaneous ratio of abdominal adiposity and decreased thigh fat.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in pregnant individuals of different racial/ethnic groups and to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the association between race/ethnicity and SDB. The results showed variations in SDB prevalence and severity among different racial/ethnic groups, and overweight/obesity was found to be associated with higher SDB severity.

Summary: Obesity and type 2 diabetes have become increasingly common worldwide, and there is evidence linking short sleep duration to higher rates of these disorders. This review examines the role of sleep in the development of obesity and chronic metabolic disorders, and the potential impact of diet on sleep. The study proposes potential mechanisms and suggests that dietary manipulations, particularly with regard to carbohydrate quality, may improve sleep quality.

Summary: Polyphenols, plant compounds with various biological activities, have been found to potentially impact sleep. Animal studies demonstrate positive effects on sleep architecture, while observational and intervention studies indicate a beneficial association between polyphenol intake and sleep parameters. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms and effects of polyphenols on sleep.
