Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an original research or review article to a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Dietary Nutrition Intervention on Metabolic Diseases”.

Metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, gout, etc., have caused a great burden of disease around the world. Poor nutritional status is highly correlated with the occurrence and progression of metabolic diseases. A lot of recent studies have shown that the prevention and control of metabolic diseases can be achieved through dietary nutritional interventions or using food-related plant active components. Compared with conventional medical therapies, dietary interventions have attracted more and more attention from the medical community because of their affordability, low health risk, relevance to daily life, and so on. Therefore, this Special Issue entitled “Advances in Dietary Nutrition Intervention on Metabolic Diseases”, focuses on the latest research progress of dietary nutrition interventions on metabolic diseases, including (but not limited to) the identification of novel dietary factors treating the metabolic diseases and their potential mechanisms, the evaluation, analysis and challenges of the dietary nutrition intervention patterns in the population, and so on. Both original articles and reviews related to the topic are welcome.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), characterized primarily by hepatic steatosis, has become the most prevalent liver disease worldwide, affecting approximately two-fifths of the global population. The pathogenesis of MAFLD is extremely complex, and to date, there are no approved therapeutic drugs for clinical use. Considerable evidence indicates that various metabolic disorders play a pivotal role in the progression of MAFLD, including lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and micronutrients. In recent years, the medicinal properties of natural products have attracted widespread attention, and numerous studies have reported their efficacy in ameliorating metabolic disorders and subsequently alleviating MAFLD. This review aims to summarize the metabolic-associated pathological mechanisms of MAFLD, as well as the natural products that regulate metabolic pathways to alleviate MAFLD. Full article

Introduction: the objective of our study was to systematically review the current literature and perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of the level of adherence to the DASH diet on blood pressure. Methods: The identification of relevant studies, data extraction and critical appraisal of the included studies were performed independently by two reviewers. A random-effects model was employed to synthesize the available evidence using the standardized mean difference (SMD) as the appropriate effect size. Results: A total of 37 and 29 articles were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis, respectively. The pooled effect for systolic blood pressure was SMD = −0.18 (95%CI: −0.32 to −0.04; I2 = 94%; PI: −0.93 to 0.57) and for diastolic blood pressure it was SMD = −0.13 (95%CI: −0.19 to −0.06; I2 = 94%; PI: −0.42 to 0.17). Conclusions: Our findings showed that greater adherence to the DASH diet has a beneficial effect on blood pressure compared to the lowest adherence. Increased compliance with DASH diet recommendations might also have a positive effect on cardiometabolic factors and overall health status. Future studies should aim to standardize the tools of adherence to the DASH diet and utilize rigorous study designs to establish a clearer understanding of the potential benefits of the level of adherence to the DASH diet in blood pressure management.
