Combined higher frequency fish consumption and healthy lifestyle may lower the triglyceride/HDL-C ratio in middle-aged Japanese males: Anti-atherosclerotic effect of fish consumption
Background: Fish consumption may be associated with a low risk of coronary artery disease. We aimed to investigate whether higher fish consumption results in improved lifestyle behaviors and thus lower triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio ––a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Methods and results: This cross-sectional study included 2947 middle-aged Japanese males with no history of ASCVD or lipid-modifying therapy, who presented at the Health Planning Center of Nihon university hospital between April 20 18 and March 2019. We performed an analysis of variance usi...

The Impact of Phenylketonuria on Body Composition in Adults
Conclusion: Although female patients had less optimal therapy adherence over the last 10 years compared with male patients, our results suggest that this does not influence body composition fundamentally. Our results suggest that obesity is an important comorbidity in young adult patients with PKU, especially in females. We advocate that nutritional assessments and weight management should be additional objectives of PKU management to provide optimal care.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Nutritional Factors Related to Muscle Weakness 1 Year after Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case-Control Study
Conclusions and Implications: The present study suggested that to prevent prolonged muscle weakness after THA, a sufficient protein intake as well as an exercise intervention may be needed even half a year or after.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Dietary Intake of Chinese Lactating Women Is Associated with the Fatty Acid Profile of Their Milk
Conclusion: The HM FA profile of Chinese women is associated with their diet, and in particular with their FA intake. Tailored nutritional advice based on HM FA composition may optimize HM FA profile and thereby contribute to healthy infant development.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Lipid Droplet-Associated Proteins in Cardiomyopathy
Background: The heart requires a high rate of fatty-acid oxidation (FAO) to meet its energy needs. Neutral lipids are the main source of energy for the heart and are stored in lipid droplets (LDs), which are cytosolic organelles that primarily serve to store neutral lipids and regulate cellular lipid metabolism. LD-associated proteins (LDAPs) are proteins either located on the surface of the LDs or reside in the cytosol and contribute to lipid metabolism. Therefore, abnormal cardiac lipid accumulation or FAO can alter the redox state of the heart, resulting in cardiomyopathy, a group of diseases that negatively affect the ...

Inverse Association of Serum Adipsin with the Remission of Nonalcoholic Fatty-Liver Disease: A 3-Year Community-Based Cohort Study
Conclusions: We provide evidence for an association between serum adipsin levels and the remission of NAFLD in a community-based prospective cohort study. Serum adipsin can be a potential biomarker for predicting NAFLD remission.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Critical steps for human gut exfoliome rna profiling analysis using non-invasive stool samples
Conclusion: The least bacterial contamination was found using RNA amplified with oligo dT from GeneChip 3 ´ IVT Pico Reagent kit or using RNA purified by both Oligotex® + oligodT. RNA later® collection of feces affects the microarray results compared to directly frozen fecal samples, although both methods produce similar cDNA quality. This technique is a potential non-invasive diagnostic tool that ca n be applied to larger studies to quantify intestinal gene expression in humans with non-invasive samples, but samples should always be collected and analyzed under the same procedure.
