Randomized Controlled Trial
Increased Maillard reaction products intake reduces phosphorus digestibility in male adolescents.
To examine the effects of consuming diets rich in Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on phosphorus bioavailability in male adolescents. ⋯ The consumption of a rich-MRP diet in male adolescents had a negative influence on dietary phosphorus absorption, tending to decrease the phosphorus balance. Given the actual dietary habits of adolescents, possible long-term repercussions of this kind of diet should be studied.

Effects of a 6-days-a-week low protein diet regimen on depressive symptoms in young-old type 2 diabetic patients.
Late-life depression is one of the main health problems among elderly diabetic subjects. In addition, depression is a common psychopathological condition among renal failure patients and most of these patients follow a low protein diet regimen (LPD). However, the effects of LPD on depressive symptoms are unclear. ⋯ LPD 6/7 regimen significantly decreased depressive symptoms in young-old type 2 diabetic patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Magnesium and trace element intake after a lifestyle intervention.
Observational studies suggest that some trace elements and magnesium (Mg) improve glucose metabolism, markers of inflammation, and oxidative stress, but supplementation studies have yielded inconsistent results. Our objective was to evaluate whether a lifestyle intervention trial, aimed at reducing total and saturated fat and increasing fiber intake, can affect also the intake of selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and Mg. ⋯ Healthier lifestyle recommendations might improve the pattern of micronutrient and Mg intake, which might play an independent role in ameliorating some metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative markers.
