Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials on the effects of soy and soy products supplementation on serum adiponectin levels.

Background And Aims: Our aim in this meta-analysis was to determine the effect of soy and soy product supplementation on serum adiponectin levels.

Method: A systematic search was conducted using Medline (PubMed and Web of Science), Scopus, and Cochrane Library for eligible trials up to August 2020. A random-effects model was used to pool calculated effect sizes.

The effects of butyrate supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure, nitric oxide level and glutathione peroxidase activity in type 2 diabetic patients: A randomized triple -blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral NaBut on metabolic parameters, blood pressure, and oxidative stress indices including glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and nitric oxide (NO) status in type 2 diabetic patients.

Methods: In the current interventional trial, 42 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were randomly allocated into either NaBut (n = 21) or placebo (n = 21) group for six weeks. Serum concentrations of metabolic parameters, GPx, NO as well as blood pressure were assessed before and after the intervention.

The association between dietary inflammatory index and psychological profile among men with spinal cord injury.

Objective: The present study was designed to examine the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and depression, anxiety and stress in Iranian men with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Mottahary SCI clinic, Isfahan, Iran.

Effects of resveratrol supplementation on liver enzymes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: The available evidence regarding the possible effects of resveratrol on liver function is inconsistent. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was performed to investigate the overall effects of resveratrol supplementation on liver enzymes in adults.

Methods: A systematic and comprehensive search of the online medical databases including PubMed, Scupos, Web of Science and Cochran Library was performed up to February 2020.

The effect of barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) on glycemic indices: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) supplementation on glycemic indices in adults.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ISI Web of Science from inception up to January 2020, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effect of barberry supplementation on glycemic markers including fasting blood sugar (FBS) concentrations, insulin levels, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) percentage.
