High exposure to pollution requires nutritional improvements in children
Sickness rates of children living in regions with extreme environmental pollution resulted in our study evaluating effects of 30-day supplementation with two different food supplements containing nucleotides, amino acids and polypeptides or β-glucan. This study was based on published studies evaluating these effects on children with chronic respiratory problems transported to the region without environmental pollution and into the medical program complemented with climatotherapy, speleotherapy, higher motion activity, rehabilitation, and a special nutritional program.
Further comments on the single-cell protein ingredient manufactured from a non-GMO Corynebacterium glutamicum as an alternative protein nutrition
In the previous study, Park et al. reported the efficacy of a single-cell protein manufactured from a growth-accelerated high-vital Corynebacterium glutamicum strain and potential strain selection strategy for development of non-GMO industrial strains harboring enriched target nutritional component, named as growth?acceleration?targeted evolution (G.A.T.E.) strategy [1].
COVID-19 and the Liver: Uncovering the Hidden Culprit behind Liver Injury

Vedolizumab has no effect on the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A retrospective cohort analysis
Background and Aim: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the commonest cause of chronic liver disease and is a leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States, with no approved medication to halt or reverse its progression. Recent animal-model prospective trial-suggested that drug Vedolizumab leads to improvement and reversal in the NAFLD-related metabolic derangements. Vedolizumab is an α4β7 integrin-inhibitor that is approved for use in IBD patients. Our study aims to understand Vedolizumab's impact on the course of NAFLD in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.
