Body Adiposity Index Is Predictive of Weight Loss after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Conclusions: BAI serves as a reliable surrogate marker of the weight loss outcome after RYGB. The predictivity of adiposity indexes in beneficial outcomes after weight loss therapies is of important referential value for the implementation and optimization of individualized and refined weight loss treatments for obese patients.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Gut Microbiota and Pathophysiology of Depressive Disorder
Background: Accumulating evidence has suggested that the bi-directional communication pathway, the microbiota-gut-brain axis, plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many neuropsychiatric diseases including major depressive disorder (MDD). This review outlines current evidence and promising findings related to the pathophysiology and treatment of MDD.Summary: There are at least 4 key biological molecules/systems underlying the pathophysiology of MDD: central dopamine, stress responses by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and autonomic nervous system, inflammation, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Anim...

Oral Contraceptive Intake and Iodine Status in Young Women
Conclusion: With similar creatinine-corrected UICs in both groups, OC intake might not have a significant impact on iodine status. However, the low median UIC in a vulnerable group of young women potentially conceiving in the following years points at the necessity of optimizing the iodine intake in the Austrian population and reiterates the insufficiency of the current iodine supplementation measures.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Role of Gut Microbiota in the Pathophysiology of Stress-Related Disorders: Evidence from Neuroimaging Studies
Background: The brain and gut communicate bidirectionally via immune, neurological, and endocrine pathways, which is termed the “brain-gut interaction.” Recent studies of gut microbiota as a mediator of this interaction have provided a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests that the gut microbiota influences stress and emotional responses and stress-related disorders.Summary: Major advances in analytical methods have led to an increased number of studies that combine gut microbiota and neuroimaging, mainly magnetic resonance imaging, to elucidate the mechanisms. Observational studies have been done to examin...

The Combined Usage of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition Criteria and Controlling Nutrition Status Score in Acute Care Hospitals
Conclusion: The GLIM criteria have high sensitivity, while the CONUT score can effectively predict the clinical outcome of malnutrition. Their combined use can efficiently screen for malnutrition and patient severity in acute care hospitals.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

The Immune System in Human Milk: A Historic Perspective
Background: Human milk contains a remarkable array of immunological agents that evolved over millions of years to protect the recipient human infant. Furthermore, much of the protection persists long after weaning. However, the scientists who first discovered some components of this immune system have rarely been acknowledged.Summary: The scientists who made many fundamental immunological discoveries concerning the immune system in human milk include Alfred Fran çois Donné, Paul Ehrlich, Lars Å. Hanson, and Jules Bordet. Based upon their discoveries, a wealth of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulating age...

Enteral Feeding Strategies in Preterm Neonates ≤32 weeks Gestational Age: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Early initiated, moderately early, or late advanced with MoV increment feeding regimens might be most appropriate in decreasing the risk of NEC stage ≥II or mortality. In view of the certainty of evidence being very low, adequately powered RCTs evaluating these 2 strategies are warranted.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Comparison of Associations between One-Carbon Metabolism, Lipid Metabolism, and Fatty Liver Markers in Normal-Weight and Overweight People Aged 20 –40 Years
The aim of the present study was to compare biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism (OCM), lipid metabolism, and fatty liver in people with normal and increased body weight. The study was performed on 421 participants, aged 20 –40 years, enrolled in Poznan, Poland, in 2016–2018. Choline and betaine intakes were assessed. DNA samples were genotyped for polymorphisms of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT; rs7946 and rs12325817), methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; rs180113), methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTHFD1; rs2236225), and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR; rs70991108). To assess the asso...

History of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation
The goal of this report is to recount the history of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML) and how its members contributed to the science of human milk (HM) and lactation (LT). The ISRHML was formed in 1988 by a group of young scientists who were intrigued with the mysteries of HM and LT and the effects of HM upon recipient human infants. The inception of the ISRHML by those scientists with many different types of interests and expertise led over the next 3 decades to a wealth of new information concerning the biology of the mammary gland and the exceptionally complex composition of HM...
