Endocannabinoid-related molecules predict the metabolic efficacy of GLP-1 receptor agonism in humans with obesity
ConclusionsOur data suggests that specific NAEs such as OEA and AEA are promising biomarkers of GLP-1RA metabolic efficacy in humans with obesity during weight loss maintenance. Plasma profiling of EC-related molecules may be a promising strategy to tailor GLP-1R-based therapies to individual needs in obesity and diabetes management.

Right Default Mode Network Functional Instability Predicts Poorer Executive Function in Parkinson ’s Disease
Background: Resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) network instability is a novel measure that captures temporal variation in functional connectivity among networked brain regions, which was shown to correlate with aging and respond to dietary intervention in healthy control participants. Though metabolic dysfunction is becoming increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to PD pathology, the instability of resting state networks in relation to executive function in PD patients has been scarcely examined.

High-fat diet as a predisposing factor to Parkinson disease via interplay between inflammation and autophagy in a murine model
Background: The underlying mechanisms of the neuronal degeneration in Parkinson ’s Disease (PD) are not well understood, but mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation and defective autophagy have been implicated in animal models of PD. Several studies indicated that among factors associated with risk of developing PD, dietary habits have an important role. High-fat diet (HFD) is associated with an increased risk of developing neurodisorders and that seems to be related to obesity-induced inflammation. (Source: Parkinsonism and Related Disorders)

Nutritional Problems and Adaptation in Persons with Parkinson ’s Disease - A Qualitative Study
Background: Parkinson ’s disease (PD) is one of the common neurodegenerative disorders. Proper nutrition intake and medications can make better treatment for people with PD. As PD progresses, they may experience various motor and non-motor symptoms which generate unique nutrition problems. Their problems about nutritio n and the way they deal with the problems need more attention. This qualitative study aimed to explore the nutritional problems in people with PD and how they adapted to these problems. (Source: Parkinsonism and Related Disorders)

Total Physical Activity, Plant-based Diet and Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Prospective Cohort Study of the UK Biobank
Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), characterized as incurable conditions, result from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental and aging factors. Balanced diets and adequate physical activity (PA) are recognized as pivotal components among modifiable environmental factors. The independent impact of PA and healthy diets on NDD incidence has been previously debated, prompting an investigation into their specific effects on the most prevalent NDDs, particularly considering varied levels of plant-based dietary regimen.

Comment on geographic variation in disease burden among patients with severe persistent asthma in the United States
Asthma affects approximately 25 million individuals in the United States, approximately 20 million of whom are older than 18 years of age.1 These data have traditionally come from self-reporting of diagnosis through national datasets such as the National Health Interview Survey or the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The national health policy for asthma management is often driven by a “one size fits all” approach on the basis of this national prevalence data, an approach that has significant shortcomings as it does not factor in state- and county-level heterogeneity with regard to asthma prevalence, s...
