Objectives: This study aims at analyzing the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and the clinical condition of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.
Methods: It is a quantitative, cross-sectional analytical study that included 137 MS patients assisted at a reference center for MS treatment in the Brazilian northeast. Data was collated through a structured questionnaire and medical records consultation, also involving demographic, clinical, and nutritional variables. Clinical variables included the MS type, diagnosis and follow-up start dates, investigation of recent urinary tract symptoms, use of immunomodulatory, vitamin D supplementation, number of recent pulse therapies, relapse rate in the last 2 years, muscular strength assessment (MRC), disability degree (EDSS), and a gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in the central white matter (CWM). The DII was calculated according to the Shivappa et al. methodology.
Results: There was no difference in any of the variables according to the DII (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: The Dietary Inflammatory Index did not affect the clinical condition of individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs) are regarded as healthy premium oils; however, the health benefits of novel MLCTs enriched with lauric and α-linolenic acids are still not fully understood. This study examined the health benefits of lauric-α-linolenic structural lipids (ALSL) and physical mixture (PM) with a similar fatty acid composition in mice with obesity induced by the high-fat diet (HFD). The data indicated that ALSL is more effective than PM in counteracting obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidaemia, liver injury, and systemic inflammation in HFD-induced mice.

The potential for mitigating intestinal inflammation through the gut-bone axis in the treatment of osteoporosis is significant. While various gut-derived postbiotics or bacterial metabolites have been created as dietary supplements to prevent or reverse bone loss, their efficacy and safety still need improvement. Herein, a colon-targeted drug delivery system is developed using surface engineering of polyvinyl butyrate nanoparticles by shellac resin to achieve sustained release of postbiotics butyric acid at the colorectal site.

Background: Few studies have explored the effects of arsenic exposure on depressive symptoms and the underlying mechanisms of its influence on this relationship. This study aimed to assess the impact of urinary arsenic on depressive symptoms and the mediating and moderating roles of folate and dietary inflammation index (DII).
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 9775 participants (≥20 years) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2020 were used for analysis.

Acute ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Yet, a growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of dietary interventions in preventing acute ulcerative colitis. Fermented beverages have been the focus of research in humans and animals for several years due to their potential to influence overall health functions with an emphasis on gut health.
