Prognosis of food-induced anaphylaxis in children: A single-center real-life study
Background: Food allergies are known to resolve over time, but there is little information on the natural history of food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA). Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the natural history of FIA in children and determine the factors that affect prognosis. Methods: Children with FIA who were followed up for at least 3 years, between 2010 and 2020, were […]
Tree nut consumption is associated with a lower risk of hyperestrogenism in men
Hyperestrogenism may affect 2-8% of men globally. Previous studies indicate that tree nut consumption is associated with sex hormones in women. Whether this is the case in men remains unknown. This study hypothesized that consumption of tree nuts was inversely associated with circulating estradiol and prevalence of hyperestrogenism in men. This cross-sectional study included 3,340 […]
The Effects of Peanuts and Tree Nuts on Lipid Profile in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized, Controlled-Feeding Clinical Studies
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus was found to be associated with metabolic disorders, particularly abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism. Dietary food choices may have profound effects on blood lipids. The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of peanuts and tree nuts intake on lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: According to […]
A calorie-restricted diet enriched with tree nuts and peanuts reduces the expression of CX3CR1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with coronary artery disease. International journal for vitamin and nutrition research.
The modification of the gut microbiome has been proposed to alter immune response which is a key driver in low-grade inflammation as well as metabolic markers. This study was conducted to determine the effects of a low-calorie diet with and without nuts on some gut bacterial abundance, metabolic markers, and gene expression in peripheral blood […]
Multiplex component-based allergen macroarray test is useful to predict clinical reactivity to tree nuts in children.
Tree nut (TN) allergy is one of the most common IgE-mediated food allergies (FAs) during late childhood and cause severe hypersensitivity reactions.1, 2, 3, 4 TNs share common components/epitopes leading to multiple sensitizations and allergies in up to 96.7 and 60.7% of the patients, respectively. It is common practice to exclude all nuts from the […]
Food irradiation: a promising technology to produce hypoallergenic food with high quality.
The increasing incidence of food allergy cases is a public health problem of global concern. Producing hypoallergenic foods with high quality, low cost, and eco-friendly is a new trend for the food industry in the coming decades. Food irradiation, a non-thermal food processing technology, is a powerful tool to reduce the allergenicity with the above […]
Prevalence and early‐life risk factors for tree nut sensitization and allergy in young adults.
Background: Tree nut allergy may cause anaphylaxis. There are limited population-based studies on prevalence and early-life risk factors. Methods: We evaluated the prevalence of reported symptoms and allergic sensitization to tree nuts at age 24 years in the BAMSE population-based cohort study and assessed early-life factors associated with the development of tree nut allergy. We […]
IgE mediated food allergy in Turkey: different spectrum, similar outcome.
Background: Food allergies (FAs) potentially differ across cultures. Methods: All medical records of 534 children and adolescents with IgE-mediated FA over a 5-year period were reviewed to document the regional characteristics with regard to spectrum and outcome. Results: According to their last visit, the most common FAs were tree nuts (TNs) (52.4%), cow`s milk (27.3%), […]
The 3-Year Effect of the Mediterranean Diet Intervention on Inflammatory Biomarkers Related to Cardiovascular Disease.
The intervention with the Mediterranean diet (MD) pattern has evidenced short-term anti-inflammatory effects, but little is known about its long-term anti-inflammatory properties at molecular level. This study aims to investigate the 3-year effect of MD interventions compared to low-fat diet (LFD) on changes on inflammatory biomarkers related to atherosclerosis in a free-living population with a […]
Tree nut consumption is associated with higher sex hormone-binding globulin levels in premenopausal US women.
Low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) are associated with many diseases including hypertension, diabetes, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Walnuts increased circulating SHBG in 31 women complicated with polycystic ovarian syndrome. However, whether tree nuts increase SHBG in women in a general population is unknown. It was hypothesized in this study that consumption of tree […]
