Article Abstract
This work examines the impact of frying (180 °C) French fries on the degradation of fatty acids and tocopherols in rapeseed oil, with a particular focus on the formation and adsorption of gamma-tocopheryl quinone on the surface of French fries. Gamma-tocopheryl quinone has a cytotoxic effect, and long-term exposure may alter DNA. It was found that gamma-tocopheryl quinone formed 1.2 times faster than alpha-tocopheryl quinone during pan-frying French fries. Addition of French fries also accelerated the hydrolysis of fatty acids, leading to a 1.3-fold increase in the rate of tocopherol degradation compared to heating pure oil. A new finding of this study is that gamma-tocopheryl quinone is the dominant oxidation product adsorbed onto the surface of French fries during frying, with its content being 1.5 times higher than that of alpha-tocopheryl quinone. The study highlights the need to reconsider using oils rich in gamma-tocopherol for frying to minimise health risks.

Classification of overweight/obesity among Saudi adolescents relative to lifestyle behaviors using the IOTF or WHO reference standards.
Front Pediatr

Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Purpose: To compare two BMI classifications (the IOTF and WHO references) in assessing overweight/obesity prevalence among Saudi adolescents and to evaluate the ability of the two standards to detect risks of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors.
Methods: Healthy Saudi adolescents (15-19 years) were drawn from two data sets ( = 2,263) collected previously in 2009 and 2019, using a random multistage stratified cluster sampling technique. Measurements included weight, height, waist circumference (WC), wais to height ratio (WHtR), and selected lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity (PA), screen time, sleep duration, and dietary habits, using the Arab Teen Lifestyle Study (ATLS) questionnaire.

UHRF2 mediates resistance to DNA methylation reprogramming in primordial germ cells.
Nat Commun
August 2025
Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.
In mammals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) undergo global erasure of DNA methylation with delayed demethylation of germline genes and selective retention of DNA methylation at evolutionarily young retrotransposons. However, the molecular mechanisms of persistent DNA methylation in PGCs remain unclear. Here we report that resistance to DNA methylation reprogramming in PGCs requires UHRF2, the paralog of the DNMT1 cofactor UHRF1.

Objectives: To investigate the associations between total and individual potato intake and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), estimate the effect on T2D risk of replacing potatoes with whole grains and other major carbohydrate sources, and conduct a dose-response and substitution meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
Design: Prospective cohort study and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
Setting: Individual participant data from Nurses' Health Study (1984-2020), Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2021), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2018).
