AI Article Synopsis

  • This study evaluated lipid profile abnormalities in 169 children aged 6 to 42 months in a Brazilian city, finding that 85% had dyslipidemia.
  • Key findings showed high prevalence of low HDL-c (72%), increased triglycerides (49%), and high LDL-c (17%), with body mass index (BMI) and age linked to these lipid issues.
  • The study concluded that higher caloric and cholesterol intake, along with greater age and BMI, are associated with worse lipid profiles in early childhood.

Article Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with lipid profile abnormalities of children aged 6 to 42 months in a Central-West Brazilian capital city. This cross-sectional study used data from the baseline of a cluster-randomized clinical trial conducted in parallel. It evaluated the lipid profile, usual nutrients intake (direct food-weighing method and 24-hour dietary recall), anthropometric parameters, and socioeconomic aspects of 169 children from early childhood education centers. Poisson regression with robust variance analysis was conducted. Of the total sample, 85% had dyslipidemia, 72% had high-density lipoproteins (HDL-c) levels below the desired range, 49% had increased triglycerides (TG), 17% exhibited elevated low-density lipoproteins (LDL-c), and 15% showed high total cholesterol (TC). An increase in the body mass index (BMI) for age z-score was associated with a higher prevalence of increased TG (PR = 1.22; 95%CI: 1.05-1.41; p = 0.009). Higher age in children was associated with an increased prevalence of high LDL-c (PR = 1.037; 95%CI: 1.01-1.07; p = 0.022) and TC (PR = 1.036; 95%CI: 1.00-1.07; p = 0.037), however it was a protective factor against low HDL-c (PR = 0.991; 95%CI: 0.98-1.00; p = 0.042). High energy intake was associated with low HDL-c (PR = 1.001; 95%CI: 1.00-1.00; p = 0.023). A higher prevalence of increased LDL-c (PR = 1.005; 95%CI: 1.00-1.01; p = 0.006) and decreased HDL-c (PR = 1.002; 95%CI: 1.00-1.00; p < 0.001) were associated with dietary cholesterol intake. Most of the children presented at least one alteration in serum lipids. Lipid profile abnormalities were associated with higher BMI, older age, and increased caloric and cholesterol intake.

During the study of microbial diversity of forest soil in the Republic of Korea, a yellow pigment-producing, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium was isolated and designated as strain 1W2. This strain grew at temperature of 10-37 °C, at pH of 5.0-9.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Turmeric, strawberries and broccoli are popular in the community for their beneficial effects in improving lipid profile, but poor bioavailability and absorption of their phytochemical compounds might reduce their effects while given separately. Therefore, their combination might provide a synergistic enhancement of their property as hypolipidemic agents. This study aims to examine the effects of turmeric, strawberry and broccoli in improving lipid profile in adult patients with hypercholesterolemia.

Background: The inclusion of sustainable protein sources in poultry feed has become essential for improving animal welfare in livestock production. Black soldier fly larvae are a promising solution due to their high protein content and sustainable production. However, most research has focused on fast-growing poultry breeds, while the effects on native breeds, such as the Bianca di Saluzzo, are less explored.

Understanding the triacylglycerol-based carbon anabolic differentiation in Cyperus esculentus and Cyperus rotundus developing tubers via transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches.

College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, Key Laboratory for Crop Production and Smart Agriculture of Yunnan Province, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming, 650201, China.

Background: Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus, known as 'YouShaDou' in China, YSD) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus, known as 'XiangFuZi' in China, XFZ), closely related Cyperaceae species, exhibit significant differences in triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation within their tubers, a key factor in carbon flux repartitioning that highly impact the total lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolisms. Previous studies have attempted to elucidate the carbon anabolic discrepancies between these two species, however, a lack of comprehensive genome-wide annotation has hindered a detailed understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Results: This study utilizes transcriptomic analyses, supported by a comprehensive YSD reference genome, and metabolomic profiling to uncover the mechanisms underlying the major carbon perturbations between the developing tubers of YSD and XFZ germplasms harvested in Yunnan province, China, where the plant biodiveristy is renowned worldwide and may contain more genetic variations relative to their counterparts in other places.
