Wheat-related disorders are a spectrum of disorders associated with different autoimmune and non-autoimmune diseases. However, it is unclear whether these wheat-related disorders lead to adverse health effects such as cardiovascular risk, nutritional deficiencies etc. The objective of the study was to explore the lipid profiles and the nutritional status of subjects with wheat-related disorders to understand the potential threat of wheat on cardiovascular risk and nutritional deficiency. A total of 1041 subjects who showed wheat-related symptoms were initially tested for the wheat protein antibody panel (Wheat Zoomer (WZ) panel and Coeliac Disease (CD) panel), then for cardiovascular panel and the micronutrient panel at Vibrant America Clinical Laboratory. Subjects with both Wheat Zoomer positivity (WZ+) and Coeliac Disease positivity (CD+) had significantly low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (279/483(57.8%) and 29/47(61.7%) respectively), but only subjects with WZ + had low levels of Apo A1 (44/424(9.5%)), and high levels of Omega 6 fatty acids (53/334(15.9%)). None of the micronutrients tested showed a significant imbalance in WZ + subjects. Subjects with positive serology for WZ have deranged blood lipid profiles but did not show any significant micronutrient deficiency. Hence, our results showcase a significant association of wheat-related disorders to cardiovascular risk.

Landraces are genetically heterogeneous plant populations that are regionally particularly well adapted to the natural and cultural agricultural environment. Their genetic memory originates from pre-industrial agriculture and food production with consequences for their agronomic and processing performance. Since wheat-related disorders have increased in the population, breeding might have resulted in changes in the protein composition.

Wheat gluten is responsible for the unique baking properties of wheat flour, but it also causes wheat-related disorders in predisposed individuals. Different commercially available gluten materials are commonly used for a variety of assays, but a detailed characterization of their composition is missing in many cases. This is why we aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of three commonly used gliadin and gluten materials from two different batches using gel electrophoretic and chromatographic techniques.

Immunological illnesses related to wheat represent an epidemiologically relevant phenomenon at a pediatric age. The term "Wheat-related disorders" involves a spectrum of diseases: celiac disease, IgE-mediated wheat allergy, non-IgE mediated wheat allergy, wheat-related eosinophilic esophagitis, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Their pathogenesis is different.

Article Synopsis
- There has been an increase in awareness about gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease, leading to widespread misinformation about gluten-free diets (GFD) among the general public.
- While a GFD is necessary for those with celiac disease, its effects on individuals with non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity and other autoimmune disorders remain unclear and often lack strong evidence.
- The review focuses on how societal pressures on nutrition and body weight influence women's adherence to a GFD, highlighting its potential impact on women's health.
No correlation between amylase/trypsin-inhibitor content and amylase inhibitory activity in hexaploid and tetraploid wheat species.

Wheat amylase/trypsin-inhibitors (ATI) are known triggers for wheat-related disorders. The aims of our study were to determine (1) the inhibitory activity against different α-amylases, (2) the content of albumins and globulins (ALGL) and total ATI and (3) to correlate these parameters in wholegrain flour of hexaploid, tetraploid and diploid wheat species. The amount of ATI within the ALGL fraction varied from 0.
