Background: Precision nutrition is based on the integration of individual´s phenotypical and biological characteristics including genetic variants, epigenetic marks, gut microbiota profiles and metabolites fingerprints as well as medical history, lifestyle practices, and environmental and cultural factors. Thus, nutriomics areas including Nutrigenomics, Nutrigenetics, Nutriepigenetics, Nutrimetabolomics, and Nutrimetagenomics have emerged to comprehensively understand the complex interactions between nutrients, diet, and the human body's molecular processes through precision nutrition.

Summary: This document from the Ibero-American Network of Nutriomics and Precision Nutrition (RINN22; https://rinn22.

Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDLs) are involved in atherosclerotic plaque formation and progression and have been linked to insulin resistance (IR). Myeloperoxidase is a potent oxidant of lipoproteins related to atherogenic risk. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are considered antioxidants due to their association with paraoxonase 1 (PON1).

Article Synopsis
  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny particles that transmit specific molecules between cells, playing a role in cell activation and inflammation, which are linked to various diseases.
  • The global epidemic of chronic liver disease (CLD) affects about 1.5 billion people, with cirrhosis, liver cancer, hepatitis infections, and obesity as major risk factors.
  • This text reviews the characteristics and types of EVs, emphasizing their role in liver disease related to fat accumulation (steatosis) and discussing their potential in diagnosis and treatment.

Food insecurity (FI) expresses irregular access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. We analyze the association between clusters of sociodemographic characteristics and FI in university students from Mexico. The Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale was applied, and household type, socioeconomic status (SES), and the characteristics of the head of the household, among others, were asked in a cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study involved 394 Mexican-mestizo women, with 199 diagnosed with SLE and 196 as control subjects, focusing on folic acid and homocysteine levels and their correlation to disease risk.
  • * Findings suggest that the CC c.+677 genotype may lower cardiovascular disease risk in SLE patients, while the TC and TA haplotypes increase SLE risk, indicating certain genetic factors can influence both cardiometabolic health and the severity of
