The effects of concurrent alpha-linolenic acid, L-carnitine supplementation on clinical symptoms, mental health, and quality of life in women with migraine: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Migraine, as a widespread neurological condition, substantially impacts quality of life, particularly among women. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential effects of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and L-carnitine co-supplementation on migraine symptoms, mental health, and life quality in women with migraine.

Methods: In this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 80 women with migraine were randomly assigned to receive either ALA (1000 mg) plus L-carnitine (500 mg) or matching placebos daily for 12 weeks.

Dietary intake of tomato and lycopene, blood levels of lycopene, and risk of total and specific cancers in adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

Background: The association between tomato/lycopene intake and blood levels of lycopene with the risk of specific cancers were assessed in previous meta-analyses; however, no study evaluated the risk of overall cancer incidence/mortality. Therefore, the present systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis aimed to summarize available findings from prospective studies to examine the association between tomato/lycopene intake and lycopene levels with the risk of total and specific cancers and cancer-related mortality.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done using Scopus, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar until July 2023.

The association between blood selenium and metabolic syndrome in adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies.

Background And Aim: Although the relationship between selenium and metabolic syndrome (MetS) was previously investigated, the findings were inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to summarize the association between blood selenium and MetS in adults.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and motor engineering of Google Scholar up to October 1st, 2024.

Plant-based eating pattern and psychological symptoms: a cross-sectional survey among patients with migraine.

Objectives: The present study evaluated the association between plant-based diet index (PDI) and psychological symptoms, including depressive symptoms, stress, and anxiety among Iranian women diagnosed with migraine headaches.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 262 patients with migraine (aged 20-50 years; body mass index, 18.5-30 kg/m²).

Effect of Prebiotic Supplementation on Health Status in Adults with Prediabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Prediabetes with a considerable progression rate is a primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes if left untreated. Dietary interventions examining the health effects of prebiotic consumption on health status have been studied in subjects with prediabetes, but the results are controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether prebiotic consumption can favorably alter metabolic status as well as anthropometric features in subjects with prediabetes.
