Fatty acids comprise a major part of the lipids and have remarkable effect on cell biology. Trans fatty acids (tFAs) are generally a by-product of manufacturing of fats. However, naturally-produced tFAs that are found in milk and dairy products, are sugge...

Objectives: It is suggested that interaction of dyslipidemia related polymorphisms with obesity is one of the possible mechanisms of expression of cardiometabolic risk factors in obese children. In this study, in order to classify high risk obese children and consequently prioritize health care resources for better management of childhood obesity,we investigated the outcome of GCKR(rs780094), GCKR(rs1260333), MLXIPL(rs3812316) and FADS(<a href="http://www.ncbi...

Background: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) is the most common chronic diseases in children. Studies show that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is higher in this group of patients.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was evaluation HbA1C and IGF-1 levels in children with T1DM that receiving vitamin D supplement.Method: A total of 30 diabetic children 5–15 years with 25(OH) D levels lower than 74 nmol/l (29 ng/...

Aim: The onset of the infancy-childhood growth spurt (IC spurt) is identical with the onset of the childhood component of the infancy-childhood-puberty growth model. The aim of this study was to determine the timing of IC spurt and to investigate the factors affecting it in healthy children.Materials and Methods: The files of 231 healthy children who were followed up regularly (at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months) at the Ista...

Iodine is an essential dietary micronutrient required for thyroid hormone synthesis and neurodevelopment in utero.
