Investigation of the vitamins B, B, and B vitamers bioaccessibilities of canned, dried legumes after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system.

Legumes are rich in minerals, B group vitamins, fiber, and protein. Intake of essential nutrients is vital in adequate and balanced nutrition. As it is crucial to evaluate final nutrient amounts, cooking losses and bioaccessibility values are determinant factors.

TAS1R2 rs35874116 and TRPM5 rs886277 polymorphisms are not related with risk of obesity.

Objectives: Obesity is one of the most serious public health problems due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. The taste perception is a powerful factor affecting food acceptance and may be one of the causes of tendency to obesity. Genetic variations in TAS1R2 and TRPM5 genes that affect taste preferences may cause inter-individual differences in food selection and thus increase the risk of obesity.

Comparison of constipation and nutritional status with disease-related parameters in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the effects of constipation symptoms and nutritional status on disease-related parameters, such as disease duration, spirometry test and quality of life, of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

Methods: The research was performed with 48 COPD patients attending the centre from January 2019 to August 2019. Assessment of constipation symptoms was done by Constipation Severity Instrument (CSI), whereas for quality of life assessment, St.

Association of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) serum level and gene rs10247158 polymorphism with anthropometric, biochemical parameters and food consumption in overweight/obese patients.

Aim: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays a role in xenobiotic metabolism, which can be also activated by dietary patterns and components. AhR ligands in circulation are reported to induce weight gain, glucose intolerance and suggested to contribute to the development of obesity. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship of the AhR gene and its polymorphisms with obesity and food consumption.
