Article Synopsis
- - This study explored the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation, with and without Vitamin E, on various health indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes over 8 weeks.
- - A total of 56 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: CLA + Vitamin E, CLA + placebo, and placebo + Vitamin E, with their body composition and metabolic markers measured before and after the trial.
- - Results indicated no significant differences in health indicators among the groups after the 8 weeks, suggesting that CLA supplementation does not improve metabolic control in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes.
Background: Lipid abnormalities, especially high serum lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] concentration, and anemia are two major causes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effects of marine omega-3 fatty acids on serum lipids, Lp (a), and hematologic factors in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: Thirty-four hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to either omega-3 fatty acid supplement or placebo group.
Epigenetic silencing of retinoic acid receptor-beta2 (RARbeta2) and estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) expressions have been revealed to be important in the development of approaches for diagnosis and therapy of breast cancer. We aimed to explore the correlation of some potential factors with the hypermethylation status of RARbeta2 and ERalpha genes among Iranian breast cancer patients. The hypermethylation status was investigated in 137 dissected tissues from primary breast cancer patients through methylation-specific PCR.
