Deficiency of PPAR γ in Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Does not Prevent High-Fat Diet-Induced Bone Deterioration in Mice
ConclusionsThese data indicate that PPAR γ has site-specific impacts on bone structures in mice and that knockout PPARγ in BMSC increased bone mass (BV/TV) in the tibia but not the lumbar vertebrae. PPARγ disruption in BMSC did not prevent HF diet–induced bone deterioration in mice. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Data-Driven Clustering Approach to Derive Taste Perception Profiles from Sweet, Salt, Sour, Bitter, and Umami Perception Scores: An Illustration among Older Adults with Metabolic Syndrome
ConclusionsAmong older adults with metabolic syndrome, taste perception profiles derived via data-driven clustering may provide a valuable approach to capture individual variability in perception of all 5 tastes and their collective influence on diet quality. This trial was registered athttps://www.isrctn.com/ as ISRCTN89898870. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Plant-Based Diet Index and Metabolic Risk in Men: Exploring the Role of the Gut Microbiome
ConclusionA greater adherence to a healthy plant-based diet by older men was associated with a microbial profile characterized by a higher abundance of multiple species, includingB. cellulosilyticus andE. eligens, as well as pathways in amino acid metabolism and pyruvate fermentation. In addition, inverse associations between healthy plant-based diet and human metabolic risk may partially depend on microbial compositions. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

The Placental Ferroxidase Zyklopen Is Not Essential for Iron Transport to the Fetus in Mice
ConclusionsOur data indicate that Zp is not essential for the efficient transfer of iron to the fetus in mice and is localized predominantly in the maternal decidua. The increase in placental size observed when Zp is knocked out in the entire placenta suggests that this protein may play a role in placental development. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Legume Consumption and Gut Microbiome in Elderly Chinese Men and Women
ConclusionsLegume consumption was associated with gut microbiome diversity and abundance of some bacteria in elderly Chinese. Associations were significant only among 1 sex group. Further research, including large-scale prospective studies and feeding trials, is needed to fully understand the role of the gut microbiome in legume –health associations.

Folate Forms in RBC and Whole-Blood Lysates Appear Stable When Stored Frozen for 2 Years
ConclusionsErythrocyte folate forms appear to be stable in RBC-Lys samples stored frozen at −70°C for ≤2 y. The relatively small changes in folate concentrations over time were comparable between RBC-Lys and conventionally prepared WB-Lys samples. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Macular Xanthophylls and Markers of the Anterior Visual Pathway among Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
ConclusionsPersons with MS-ON exhibited poorer xanthophyll status in the macula and serum. MPOD was associated with beneficial anatomical features in the MS group. These findings warrant confirmation with larger cohorts and prospective trials to evaluate xanthophyll effects on the anterior visual pathway in MS. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Assessing Changes in Adolescents ’ Sleep Characteristics and Dietary Quality in the START Study, a Natural Experiment on Delayed School Start Time Policies
ConclusionsHigh school students attending delayed-start schools maintained better dietary quality than students in comparison schools; however, differences were not statistically significant. Overall study findings highlight the complexity of the relation between sleep behavior and diet in adolescence. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)
