Evaluation of the Relationship Between Meal-Based Dietary Anti-Oxidant Quality Score with Obesity in Apparently Healthy Adults Attended to Health Care Centers in Tehran.

Background: Studying the dietary antioxidant quality (DAQ) score as a modifiable factor to lessen the negative effects of obesity on health is vital due to the rising global trend of obesity. Therefore, this study aimed to determine how adult obesity and meal-based DAQ scores correlate.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study including 850 men and women in Tehran was conducted.

The association between meal-based diet quality index-international (DQI-I) with obesity in adults.

Background And Objective: Due to the growing global trend of obesity, it is necessary to study the diet quality as a modifiable factor to reduce the dangerous consequences of obesity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between meal-based diet quality index-international (DQI-I) with obesity in adults.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 850 men and women in Tehran (aged 20-59 y).

MiR-9-5p and miR-106a-5p dysregulated in CD4 T-cells of multiple sclerosis patients and targeted essential factors of T helper17/regulatory T-cells differentiation.

Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered as a chronic type of an inflammatory disease characterized by loss of myelin of CNS. Recent evidence indicates that Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing T helper cells (Th17 cells) population are increased and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are decreased in MS. Despite extensive research in understanding the mechanism of Th17 and Treg differentiation, the role of microRNAs in MS is not completely understood.

Etoposide induces cell death via mitochondrial-dependent actions of p53.

Background: Etoposide has been used clinically in cancer treatment, as well as in numerous research studies, for many years. However, there is incomplete information about its exact mechanism of action in induction of cell death.

Methods: Etoposide was compared at various concentrations to characterize the mechanisms by which it induces cell death.
