Association between frequency of fried food consumption and resilience to depression in Japanese company workers: a cross-sectional study
Background: Long-chain n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3/n-6 PUFA) play important roles in emotional regulation. We previously reported an association between fish consumption, which is major source of LC n-3 PUFA, and resilience to depression, where resilience is the ability to cope with stress in the face of adversity. Although the tr...
Association between depressive symptoms, use of antidepressant medication and the metabolic syndrome: the Maine-Syracuse Study
Abstract
Background: Both depression and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are two major public health issues. The aim of this study was to examine associations between depressive symptoms, the use of antidepressant medications, and the prevalence of MetS.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were undertaken on 970 participants from the Maine-Syracuse Study. Depressi...
A Meta-Analysis of Oxidative Stress Markers in Depression
Object
Studies have suggested that depression was accompanied by oxidative stress dysregulation, including abnormal total antioxidant capacity (TAC), antioxidants, free radicals, oxidative damage and autoimmune response products. This meta-analysis aims to analyse the
clinical data quantitatively by comparing the oxidative stress markers between depressed patients and healthy controls.
A longitudinal analysis of diet quality scores and the risk of incident epression
in the SUN Project
Abstract
Background: Some studies have pointed out that several dietary patterns could be associated with a reduced risk of depression among dults. This association seems to be consistent across countries, cultures and populations. The objective of the study was to compare and to stablish the type of relationship between three diet quality scores and depression in the SUN (Seguimiento ...
Vitamin D Levels Are Inversely Associated with Liver Fat Content and Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in a Chinese Middle-Aged and Elderly Population: The Shanghai Changfeng Study
Abstract
Background/Objectives Vitamin D exerts metabolic activities. We investigated whether the 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25 (OH)D] is associated with liver fat content (LFC) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a middle-aged, elderly Chinese population. Subject/Methods A total of 2,960 ...
Statins, antidiabetic medications and liver histology in patients with diabetes with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
ABSTRACT
Background: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for progressive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Drugs commonly prescribed in patients with T2DM may affect liver histology by interfering with lipid metabolism and insulin resistance/secretion. Aim: We studied if statins or antidiabetic agents were associated with non-alcoholic steatohe...
Replacement of Dietary Saturated Fat by PUFA-Rich Pumpkin Seed Oil Attenuates Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Atherosclerosis Development, with Additional Health Effects of Virgin over Refined Oil
Abstract
Background and Aims As dietary saturated fatty acids are associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease, a potentially interesting strategy to reduce disease risk is modification of the quality of fat consumed. Vegetable oils represent an attractive target for interventi...
Regression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver by Vitamin D Supplement: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Abstract
Objective: Evidence indicates that NAFLD patients are vitamin D. Vitamin D has new roles in lipid and glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of calcitriol supplementation on the NAFLD progression based on liver lipid accumulation, serum lipid and insulin resistance.
Methods: We randomly assigned 73 patients with NAFLD- by ultra-son...
