The links between fatty acids (FAs) and cardiometabolic outcomes are topics of debate.

Our aim was to investigate the associations between serum standardized FA percentages and cardiometabolic outcomes.

We used cross-sectional (n=2187-2200 subjects, age 24-39 y, women 54%) and 10-year prospective data (n=975-1414 subjects) from the Young Finns Study. Outcomes included prevalent and incident obesity, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index in the upper quintile), elevated blood pressure (BP; taking medication, or diastolic or systolic BP in the upper quintile), and incident nonalcoholic fatty liver. Logistic regression models were used to calculate ORs per SD increase in fatty acids (FAs). The models were adjusted for age and sex, and additionally for other potential confounders.

Several cross-sectional findings were also statistically significant in prospective models (Bonferroni corrected P<0.003). In fully-adjusted models for obesity, these consisted of SFAs (OR 1.28) and MUFAs (OR 1.38), including palveral specific FAs, predict future unfavorable cardiometabolic outcomes in Finnish adults.

Vitamin A (VA) deficiency is prevalent in preschool-aged children in sub-Saharan Africa.

We assessed the effect of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) given to women during pregnancy and lactation and their children from 6 to 18mo of age on women's plasma and milk retinol concentrations in Malawi, and children's plasma retinol concentration in Malawi and Ghana.

Pregnant women (≤20wk of gestation) were randomized to receive daily 1) iron and folic acid (IFA) during pregnancy only; 2) multiple micronutrients (MMN; 800μg retinol equivalent (RE)/capsule), or 3) SQ-LNS (800μg RE/20g) during pregnancy and the first 6mo postpartum. Children of mothers in the SQ-LNS group received SQ-LNS (400μg RE/20g) from 6 to 18mo of age; children of mothers in the IFA and MMN groups received no supplement. Plasma retinol was measured in mothers at ≤20 and 36wk of gestation and 6mo postpartum, and in children at 6 and 18mo of age. Milk retinol was measured at 6mo postpartum. ENOblock VA status indicators were compared by group.

Among Malawian mothers, geometric mean (95% CI) plasma retinol concentrations at 36wk of gestation and 6mo postpartum were 0.97μmol/L (0.94, 1.01μmol/L) and 1.35μmol/L (1.31, 1.39μmol/L), respectively; geometric mean (95% CI) milk retinol concentration at 6mo postpartum was 1.04μmol/L (0.97, 1.13μmol/L); results did not differ by intervention group. Geometric mean (95% CI) plasma retinol concentrations for Malawian children at 6 and 18mo of age were 0.78μmol/L (0.75, 0.81μmol/L) and 0.81μmol/L (0.78, 0.85μmol/L), respectively, and for Ghanaian children they were 0.85μmol/L (0.82, 0.88μmol/L) and 0.88μmol/L (0.85, 0.91μmol/L), respectively; results did not differ by intervention group in either setting.

SQ-LNS had no effect on VA status of mothers or children, possibly because of low responsiveness of the VA status indicators.

The clinical success of immunotherapy greatly changed the field of oncology by highlighting the importance of the immune system in cancer control and elimination. It has now become clear that research into, and the clinical application of, the immune response are important for effective cancer treatment. Moreover, it has become apparent that conventional cancer treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can modulate the cross-talk between the tumor and the immune system, and their efficacy depends, in part, on the ability to elicit antitumor immune response. The ability of radiotherapy to induce an immune response has become relevant in the immunotherapy age. Radiotherapy has been redefined as a partner for cancer immunotherapy, based on evidence indicating the potential synergistic effect of the combination of these therapeutic modalities. This review outlines the major findings reported to date on the immune response induced by radiotherapy and discusses the role of radiotherapy in combination with immunotherapy. Furthermore, we introduce research aimed at the clinical application of combination therapy and discuss its potential in clinical practice and future issues.
Sustained fuel excess triggers low-grade inflammation that can drive mitochondrial dysfunction, a pivotal defect in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

This study aimed to investigate whether inflammation in skeletal muscle can be prevented by EPA, and if this is associated with an improvement in mitochondrial fusion, membrane potential, and insulin signaling.

Human primary myotubes were treated for 24h with palmitic acid (PA, 500 μM) under hyperglycemic conditions (13mM glucose), which represents nutrient overload, and in the presence or absence of EPA (100 μM). After the treatments, the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PPARGC1A) and IL6 was assessed by q-PCR. Western blot was used to measure the abundance of the inhibitor of NF-κB (IKBA), mitofusin-2 (MFN2), mitochondrial electron transport chain complex proteins, and insulin-dependent AKT (Ser473) and AKT substrate 160 (AS 160; Thr642) phosphorylation. Mitochondrial dynamics and membracess but this requires confirmation in human clinical trials.
EPA inhibited NFκB signaling, which was associated with an attenuation of the deleterious effects of PA and hyperglycemia on both mitochondrial health and insulin signaling in human primary myotubes. Thus, EPA might preserve skeletal muscle metabolic health during sustained fuel excess but this requires confirmation in human clinical trials.
