Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the connection between consuming ultra-processed foods and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among 1,766 adults, focusing on how lifestyle and socioeconomic factors impact this relationship.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy and a cytokine network is involved in its pathogenesis. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has a key role in the adaptive immune pathogenesis of CD and has been reported to be one of the earliest cytokines to be elicited after gluten exposure by CD patients. This study aimed at investigating the expression level of IL-2 and functionally related genes SOCS1 and TBX21 in active and treated CD patients compared to controls.
