Background: Major depressive disorder is among main worldwide causes of disability. The low medication compliance rates in depressed patients as well as the high recurrence rate of the disease can bring up the nutrition-related factors as a potential preventive or treatment agent for depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dietary patterns and depression via the intermediary role of the serum folate and vitamin B12, total homocysteine, tryptophan, and tryptophan/competing amino acids ratio.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the comparison of G1359A variant of cannabinoid receptor gene (rs1049353) with obesity-related traits including body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), food-related traits, and leptin among healthy and non-healthy adults.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE until December 2016 for observational studies assessing each of the anthropometric measurements, food-related traits, and leptin of 1359 G/A polymorphism of CNR1 gene. A total of 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis comparing mean and SD differences of the anthropometric measurements, leptin, and dietary intake between GA/AA and GG genotypes.

Article Synopsis
- Herbal medicines, like sour tea pills, are commonly used to manage blood pressure and were evaluated in a study against captopril.
- The study involved 20 patients who were divided into two groups taking either sour tea pills or captopril, with blood pressure monitored over 12 weeks.
- Results showed that while both treatments reduced blood pressure, sour tea pills had a notable effect without side effects, suggesting they can be an additional treatment option with captopril.
