Background: Malnutrition is a common clinical problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and is a predictor of mortality. This work analyzes the effect of nutritional supplementation for PD patients on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related deaths by meta-analysis.
Methods: A study about nutritional interventions for PD patients on all-cause or CVD-related mortality is included.
Results: Eight studies were included. The results showed that nutritional intervention can reduce all-cause mortality in PD patients (HR, 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64-0.79; p < 0.01). In CVD-related mortality, the results also showed that nutritional interventions significantly reduce CVD-related mortality (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.64-0.87; p < 0.01). In exploratory analysis, vitamin D, folic acid, and high-plant-protein ratio intake have relative advantages.
Conclusion: Appropriate nutritional supplementation to PD patients can effectively reduce all-cause and CVD- related mortality in clinical practice, especially for vitamin D, folic acid, sodium supplements, and a high proportion of plant protein.

Background: Subjects with metabolic syndrome and obesity have higher levels of inflammation with depression of the vitamin D (VD) hydroxylase/metabolising genes () required to convert VD consumed in the diet into 25(OH)VD. Compared with total 25(OH)VD levels, measurement of bioavailable 25(OH)VD is a better method to determine the beneficial effect of VD.
Objective: This study investigates whether cosupplementation with VD and L-cysteine (LC), which downregulates inflammation and upregulates VD-regulating genes, provides a better therapeutic benefit than supplementation with VD-alone in African Americans (AA).

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids in tomato () required for protein synthesis, which also modulate growth and abiotic stress responses. To date, little is known about their uptake and transport in tomato especially under abiotic stress. Here, the tomato () gene was identified as an amino acid transporter that restored mutant yeast cell growth on media with a variety of amino acids, including BCAAs.

Introduction: Extracts from the rhizome of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant (CY) mediate a number of biologic effects that are associated with its content of isoquinoline alkaloids. CY alkaloids have shown analgesic, cardioprotective, and anti-addictive effects in animal models of disease. Since CY alkaloids are available to consumers as dietary supplements we analyzed the content of alkaloids in 14 products including open powders, capsules, and liquid formulations, capturing a majority of the products available online in the US.
