ACG Clinical Guideline: #Alcohol-Associated #Liver Disease
Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is the most common cause of advanced hepatic disease and frequent indication for liver transplantation worldwide. With harmful alcohol use as the primary risk factor, increasing alcohol use over the past decade has resulted in rapid growth of the ALD-related healthcare burden. The spectrum of ALD ranges from early asymptomatic liver… Continue reading ACG Clinical Guideline: #Alcohol-Associated #Liver Disease
Self-Reported Frequency of Adding #Salt to Food and Risk of Incident Chronic #Kidney Disease
Importance The self-reported frequency of adding salt to foods could reflect a person’s long-term salt taste preference, and salt intake has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Whether self-reported adding of salt to foods is associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown.Objective To prospectively examine the association of self-reported frequency… Continue reading Self-Reported Frequency of Adding #Salt to Food and Risk of Incident Chronic #Kidney Disease

OXR1 maintains the retromer to delay brain #aging under #dietary restriction
Dietary restriction (DR) delays aging, but the mechanism remains unclear. We identified polymorphisms in mtd, the fly homolog of OXR1, which influenced lifespan and mtd expression in response to DR. Knockdown in adulthood inhibited DR-mediated lifespan extension in female flies. We found that mtd/OXR1 expression declines with age and it interacts with the retromer, which regulates trafficking of proteins and lipids.… Continue reading OXR1 maintains the retromer to delay brain #aging under #dietary restriction

Association between #tomato consumption and #blood pressure in an older population at high cardiovascular risk: observational analysis of PREDIMED trial
Clinical studies have produced conflicting evidence on the effects of the consumption of tomatoes on blood pressure, and there are limited data from epidemiologic studies. This study assesses whether tomato consumption (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the risk of hypertension in a prospective 3-year longitudinal study in older adults… Continue reading Association between #tomato consumption and #blood pressure in an older population at high cardiovascular risk: observational analysis of PREDIMED trial
