Dairy products may affect hypertension (HTN) risk. The aim of this study was to examine the association between fermented and nonfermented dairy foods and HTN in a sample of premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) subjects. This cross-sectional study was performed on 1854 PCAD patients.

Numerous meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials have proven that pro, pre-, and synbiotics supplementation has health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the strength and quality of this evidence in aggregate have not yet been synthesized in great detail.

To summarize and evaluate findings regarding the effect of supplementation with probiotics on sarcopenia, this meta-analysis was conducted. Using databases, including PubMed, SCOPUS, ISI-Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, interventional studies were included if they investigate the effect of probiotic administration on at least one of the components of sarcopenia up to 6 October 2022.

The Alternative Healthy Diet Index (AHEI) is a measure of diet quality and adherence to healthy dietary patterns.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 2,354 Iranian adults (≥ 19 years).
Purpose: To assess the association between the diabetes risk reduction diet score (DRRD) and the odds of breast cancer (BC).
Methods: During this hospital-based case-control study we included 149 newly diagnosed cases of BC and 150 controls matched by age. All cases were patients with pathologically confirmed BC, with no history of any form of other cancers.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the association of meals-specific food-based dietary inflammatory index (FDII), with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors and inflammation among Iranian adults.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 816 participants living in Tehran via two-staged cluster sampling. Three non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls (two working days and one day off) were obtained from individuals to specify the main meals and meal-specific FDIIs.
In this study, we compared the impact of H2S pre (HIPC) and post-conditioning (HPOC) on oxidative stress, the prime reason for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R), in different compartments of the myocardium, such as the mitochondria beside its subpopulations (interfibrillar (IFM) and subsarcolemmal (SSM) mitochondria) and microsomal fractions in I/R injured rat heart. The results demonstrated that compared to I/R rat heart, HIPC and HPOC treated hearts shows reduced myocardial injury, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced the level of TBARS in different cellular compartments. The extent of recovery (measured by TBARS and GSH levels) in subcellular fractions, were in the following descending order: microsome > SSM > IFM in both HIPC and HPOC.
