Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how magnesium (Mg) intake affects lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), focusing on cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Participants received nutritional education over three months to increase Mg-rich food consumption, resulting in a significant decrease in total cholesterol levels related to Mg intake.
- The findings suggest that Mg-focused dietary education could be an effective, low-cost strategy for improving the health of T2DM patients, although further research is needed for long-term effects and larger populations.
Background and objectives Dietary nitrate (NO) plays an important role in human physiological processes. In the past, inorganic NO was viewed negatively due to its link with carcinogenic effects, notably nitrosamine formation in the stomach; yet, current perspectives acknowledge NO as a potentially beneficial dietary element. Nutrition professionals (NPs) are crucial in promoting NO awareness in health and academic settings.

Methods: Present study included newly diagnosed 100 NSCLC patients and 100 healthy controls.
Background: Vitamin C may enhance nitric oxide (NO) production through stepwise reduction of dietary nitrate (NO) to nitrite (NO) to NO. The combined effect of vitamin C and NO supplementation is relatively unexplored in untreated hypercholesterolemia.
Aims: We aimed to examine whether co-administration of vitamin C and nitrate for 4-weeks would improve endothelial function (primary outcome), plasma NO metabolites, oxidative stress, and blood lipids (secondary outcomes).
