Objective: School Nutrition Programs (SNPs) may have positive effects on children’s food choices through high nutritional quality meals. This cross-sectional & descriptive study was conducted to determine nutritional quality of school lunch and to compare lunch consumption of students who participated in SNP and who did not, at the first governmental school serving school lunch in Kayseri, Turkey. Methods: One hundred and sixteen students aged 9-14 years were divided into two groups after being matched according to gender, age, grade; 58 participants (school lunch group; SL-G) and 58 nonparticipants (school canteen group; SC-G) were . . . recruited. Energy-nutrient content of 5-day school lunch was determined by recipes. Socio-demographic data and lunch consumption on 5 consecutive weekdays with weighed left overs were obtained. Lunch energy-nutrient intakes and anthropometric measurements were compared. Results: School lunch was adequate for vitamins (E & C), fibre, iron, inadequate for energy, carbohydrate, folate, calcium. Contribution of fat (36.6±6.8%) and saturated fat (12.2±3.5%) to energy and sodium content was high (1001 mg) in school lunch. SL-G consumed significantly higher protein, vitamin C, thiamine, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc (p < 0.001 for each) than SC-G. Energy (p < 0.001), carbohydrate (p < 0.001), fat (p < 0.05), vitamin E (p < 0.001) intakes of SC-G were significantly higher than SL-G. Body weights, height, body mass index of groups were similar. Conclusions: Foodservice at school should be revised with collaboration of school management, catering firm, dietetic professionals. Policy should focus on reducing fat, saturated fat, sodium content and meeting energy-nutrient requirements of school aged children Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective: The burdens imposed on a child and his/her parents by a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) adversely affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL is important for prognosis and is related to metabolic control. To evaluate the HRQoL of Turkish children and adolescents with T1DM and to assess the correlation of HRQoL subscales (including physical and psychosocial health) with metabolic control, and particularly with hypo- and hyperglycaemic episodes. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 70 participants with T1DM aged between 8 and 18 years (study group) and 72 healthy controls who were matche . . .d to the study group in terms of age, gender, and sociodemographic characteristics (control group), and their parents. HRQoL was determined by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. As an indicator of metabolic control, the most recent hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were obtained and the number of hypo- and hyperglycaemic episodes over the past one month were checked. Results: The study group had similar HRQoL scores for children’s self-reports and parents’ proxy-reports to the control group apart from a decreasing psychosocial health score for parents’ proxy-reports in the study group. Although HbA1c level was not related to HRQoL scores, lower number of hypo- and hyperglycaemic episodes were associated with an increase in psychosocial health scores and physical health scores as well as an increase in the total score for parents’ proxy-reports. Conclusion: Although there was no correlation between metabolic control and HRQoL in children’s self-reports, the improving HRQoL levels in parents’ proxy-reports were associated with good metabolic control Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective The study aimed to evaluate the fear of hypoglycemia (FoH), nutritional factors, and behavioral strategies before exercise in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Materials and methods A total of 116 patients with T1D aged 6–18 years were included in the study. FoH was evaluated with the Virginia University Child/Teen Low Blood Sugar Scale. The nutritional and physical activity habits of the patients were evaluated. Results FoH scores of patients who generally missed meals were higher than those who did not miss (p < 0.05). No significant relationship was found between the FoH and the energy, carbohydrate, . . .lipid, and sucrose intakes of the patients. FoH scores were higher (p = 0.041) and HbA1c% was lower in patients who exercised regularly (p < 0.05). The behavioral subscale score of the patients who kept their blood glucose in the safe range before exercise (p < 0.001) and the anxiety subscale score of the patients who measured their blood glucose during exercise were higher (p < 0.05). Patients who reduced their insulin dose independently of blood glucose level before exercise had higher behavioral subscale scores (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the FoH score and the number of hypoglycemia episodes in the last 1 month (r = 0.251, p < 0.001), and a negative significant correlation between the diet compliance score and HbA1c% (r = − 0.266, p < 0.001). Conclusions Evaluating the FoH and applying healthy behavioral and nutritional practices to prevent hypoglycemia will help patients reduce their stress perception and fear of hypoglycemia and contribute to the goal of glycemic contro Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the effect of powdered ginger supplemented to the diet on blood lipid indices in individuals with moderate physical activity that are recommended only lifestyle intervention by Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation. Methods: In this exploratory experiment, individuals were divided into 2 groups as ginger supplementation (n = 20) and control (n = 20). The ginger supplementation group received 1 ginger capsule (400 mg ginger extract, 80 mg gelatin) twice a day for a month. Blood lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipopro . . .tein cholesterol) and systolic blood pressure were measured, and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values were calculated. Results: The systolic blood pressure and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values in the ginger supplementation group were decreased (P < .05). The systolic blood pressure values of the ginger supplementation group before and after the study were higher than the control group (P < .05). Systolic blood pressure values in both groups were decreased compared to previous levels. Before and after the study, the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values of the ginger supplementation group were found to be lower than that of the control group (P < .05). The study showed that 85% of the ginger supplementation group remained in the category requiring a lifestyle change and possibly drug treatment, whereas 15% of the individuals moved to the category in which no intervention was required for lipid levels. However, 90% of the participants of the control group remained in the lifestyle change category. Conclusion: The results of the current study implicate that consumption of ginger might be beneficial to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and further studies are needed to explore this effect in more detail Daha fazlası Daha az

Background/aim: Clinical trials have shown that low glycemic index (GI) nutrition reduces mean blood glucose concentrations and insulin secretions. The aim of the present study was to determine the GI values of various monofloral (citrus, milk-vetch, chestnut, thyme, lime, pine) honeys of Turkey, and the effect of their consumption on glucose metabolism. Materials and methods: Processing data from 20 healthy volunteers, GI values were determined from the glycemia values by using the incremental area method. Serum insulin and C-peptide levels were also measured before and 120 min after the test. Results: The GI values of citrus, thym . . .e, lime, chestnut, pine, and milk-vetch honeys were found to be 44.9, 52.6, 55.3, 55.5, 58.8, and 69, respectively. Serum insulin and C-peptide values after honey consumption were relatively lower than those after reference food (glucose) consumption. By the end of the 120 min, serum insulin levels were significantly higher, while a significant decrease was observed after the consumption of chestnut honey (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Citrus and thyme honeys were determined to have low GI, while serum insulin levels were significantly lower after the consumption of chestnut honey. Long-term research is needed to compare the effects of honey consumption on healthy and diabetic individuals Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, it was aimed to determine the in vitro effect of the extract obtained from mature broccoli on the breast cancer cell line. MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell line was used in the study. MDA-MB-231 cells were exposed to broccoli extract at 37°C and 5% CO2 for varying durations (24 and 48 hours) and doses (125 and 250 µl/ml).At the end of the incubation period, viability, apoptosis, cell cycle and AgNOR protein status of MDA-MB-231 cells were examined in the Muse Cell Analyzer. In the groups containing broccoli extract, a decrease in the percentage of viable cells and a significant increase in the percentage of early and tota . . .l apoptosis were observed for both doses compared to the control. In the cell cycle test, the number of cells in the S phase increased in all groups.It was observed that the groups containing broccoli extract slowed down the cell cycle in the transition to the S checkpoint. AgNOR staining results also supported cell cycle and apopitosis, and AgNOR number and TAA/NA ratio decreased in the 125 µl/ml broccoli extract group after 24-48 hours and were found to be statistically significant compared to the control group. It was determined that broccoli increased apoptosis on breast cancer cells by various mechanisms and inhibited cell viability/cell growth. The results were similar to the results of AgNOR protein synthesis. The study showed that the regular and correct consumption of broccoli could be effective in preventing cancer formation and slowing its progression Daha fazlası Daha az

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the time and dose dependent effects of Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) on MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Material and Methods: MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line was used in the study. MDA-MB-231 cells were exposed to ginseng at 37°C and 5% CO2 for varying durations (24 and 48 hours) and doses (1 and 2 μg/ml ginseng). At the end of the incubation period, viability, apoptosis, cell cycle and Argyrophilic nucleolar organizing region (AgNOR) protein status of MDA-MB-231 cells were examined in the Muse Cell Analyzer. Results: It was observed that the dose inducing apoptosis was 1 μg/ml ginseng for 24 an . . .d 48 hours, and 2 μg/ml ginseng for 48 hours in the group that stopped the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. When comparing the two groups; while no difference was determined between the control and 1 µg/ml ginseng groups, the significant differences were detected between the control and 2 µg/ml ginseng groups for mean AgNOR number in 48 hours incubation. However, there was no significant difference for the TAA/NA ratio, in the groups for 48 hours. Conclusion: The current study showed that ginseng had a crucial function against cancer development. Also, both AgNOR values might be used as biomarkers for detection of the most reliable therapeutic dose selection for cancer and it has been shown that correct consumption of Ginseng can be effective in preventing cancer formation and slowing its progression Daha fazlası Daha az
