Dietary Iron Deficiency Modulates Adipocyte Iron Homeostasis, Adaptive Thermogenesis, and Obesity in C57BL/6 Mice
ConclusionsDietary iron deficiency deregulates iron balance in the iWAT and impairs adaptive thermogenesis, thereby escalating the diet-induced weight gain in C57BL/6 mice. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Contribution of Vitamin D –Binding Protein Polymorphism to Susceptibility and Outcome of COVID-19 Patients
We read with interest the paper of Bychinin et al. (1) in which they reported their investigation of the predictive value of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). More in detail, serum 25(OH)D concentrations ≤9.9 ng/mL on admission could predict in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients. Here, we highlight the importance of the vitamin D–binding protein (DBP) polymorphism in the interpretation of the reported results. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Inflammation-Related Marker Profiling of Dietary Patterns and All-cause Mortality in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study
ConclusionsMarkers involved in inflammation-related processes are associated with dietary quality, including a substantial overlap between markers associated with the MDS, the E-DII, and the AHEI, especially kynurenines. Unfavorable marker scores, reflecting poorer-quality diets, were associated with increased mortality. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Type of Dietary Fiber Is Associated with Changes in Ileal and Hindgut Microbial Communities in Growing Pigs and Influences In Vitro Ileal and Hindgut Fermentation
ConclusionsIleal fermentation is quantitatively significant. Partial substitution of CEL with more fermentable fibers influences both ileal and hindgut microbial communities and the fermentation in growing pigs. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Dietary Patterns and Years Living in the United States by Hispanic/Latino Heritage in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL)
ConclusionsOur findings show substantial variation in DPs across Hispanics/Latinos and adherence to DPs by time in the United States, which could inform dietary interventions targeting this diverse US population. This trial was registered atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT02060344. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Basal Vitamin D Status and Supplement Dose Are Primary Contributors to Maternal 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Response to Prenatal and Postpartum Cholecalciferol Supplementation
ConclusionsPresupplementation 25(OH)D and vitamin D supplemental dose are the major determinants of the response to maternal prenatal vitamin D intake. Vitamin D dosing regimens to prevent maternal and infant vitamin D deficiency should take into consideration the mean 25(OH)D concentration of the target population. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Prevalence of and Factors Associated with Dietary Supplement Use in a Stratified, Random Sample of US Military Personnel: The US Military Dietary Supplement Use Study
ConclusionsCompared with civilian data from the NHANES, service members were much more likely to use DSs and used different types of DSs, especially combination products and proteins/amino acids often used to purportedly enhance physical performance. Comparisons with previous military data suggest DS use has increased over time. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)
