Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) relates to overall and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in older adults in the U.S.
- Following a median follow-up of 6.7 years, they found that higher DII scores were linked to increased risks of all-cause and CVD deaths among older adults.
- The results showed statistically significant relationships, indicating that older adults with poorer diet-related inflammation have higher mortality rates.

Objective: To study the effect of Sanhuang Jiangtang recipe (SJR) on renin-angiotensin system in local myocardium in diabetic rats.
Methods: Rats were made into diabetes model by intraperitoneally administering of streptozocin, and medicated through gastrogavage with SJR (50 g/kg), gliclazide (20 mg/kg), captopril (15 mg/kg) and nitrendipine (30 mg/kg) respectively, for successive 8 weeks, started from 2 weeks after modeling. Levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum insulin (Ins), heart/body weight ratio (H/BW), myocardial angiotensin II (Ang II), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and aldosterone (ALD) were determined.
