Vitamin D3 capsulation using maillard reaction complex of sodium caseinate and tragacanth gum.

The encapsulation of vitamin D3 (VitD3) using the Maillard reaction complex of sodium caseinate-tragacanth gum (TG) to the production of water-soluble vitamins were studied. Spray drying was used to prepare the complex. Its physicochemical properties, stability, and release characteristics were ealuated.

Is there any association between type of dietary fat and quality of life in hemodialysis patients? A cross-sectional study.

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a low quality of life (QOL), and dietary intakes may impact both somatic and psychosocial aspects of QOL. Nevertheless, the relationship between QOL and different dietary fats has not yet been evaluated.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between QOL and the types/quantities of dietary fats intake in HD patients.

Is there a link between the inflammatory potential of a diet and mental health among patients with migraine? Findings from a cross-sectional survey.

Aims: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and mental health outcomes among patients with migraine headaches.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 262 subjects were included. The dietary intakes were collected using a validated 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

Animal protein intake is directly associated with serum level of pentraxin 3 in hemodialysis patients.

Inflammation plays an important role in Cardiovascular disease (CVD) pathogenesis as the main cause of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite the relevance of nutrition and dietary intakes for inflammation status, the role of dietary protein sources remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the different types of dietary protein and pentraxin 3 (PTX3) levels in HD patients.

The effects of oral sodium bicarbonate supplementation on anthropometric measures in patients with chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Metabolic acidosis (MA) may play a key role in the pathogenesis of protein-energy wasting (PEW) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To present a comprehensive synthesis of the effect of oral sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplementation on anthropometric measures in patients with CKD, a systematic review was undertaken in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar, of relevant articles published prior to September 2022. The summary statistics of effect size, nonstandardized weighted mean difference (WMD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to compare the effects of SB supplementation on anthropometric parameters vs.

A meta-analysis of the effect of probiotic administration on age-related sarcopenia.

Global increase in the prevalence of age-related diseases, such as sarcopenia, highlights the need of recognizing agents that improve muscle health; however, the evidence synthesis on the impact of probiotic administration on sarcopenia is scarce. To summarize and evaluate findings regarding the effect of supplementation with probiotics on sarcopenia, this meta-analysis was conducted. Using databases, including PubMed, SCOPUS, ISI-Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, interventional studies were included if they investigate the effect of probiotic administration on at least one of the components of sarcopenia up to 6 October 2022.

The effect of lutein and Zeaxanthine on dyslipidemia: A meta-analysis study.

Aims: The relationship between circulating Lutein and zeaxanthin (L/Z) concentrations, and plasma lipoproteins has been indicated by observational studies. However, the beneficial impact of L/Z administration on dyslipidemia are unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of oral intake of L/Z on circulating total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), as well as high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.
