Abstract
Oxidative stress has been considered the main contributor to liver injury. Dietary antioxidants would be expected to improve liver function. The hepatoprotective effects of antioxidants are controversial. In the present study, the associations of some dietary antioxidants and the levels of serum liver enzymes were examined. This cross-sectional study was conducted using the Rafsanjan Cohort Study (RCS) data as a population-based prospective cohort which is a part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in IrAN (PERSIAN). A total of 9942 participants aged 35-70 years old were included in this study. Among this population, 4631 (46.59%) were male, and 5311 (53.42%) were female. Dietary intakes were collected by a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with 128 items. Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured by a biotecnica analyzer. Dichotomous logistics regression models were used to investigate the association between the elevated liver enzymes and intake of dietary antioxidants using crude and adjusted models. In the adjusted model, in subjects with higher consumption of Se, Vit A, Vit E, β-carotene, α-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin, the odds ratios of elevated ALP were decreased compared to the reference group (ORs 0.79 (0.64-0.96), 0.80 (0.66-0.98), 0.73 (0.60-0.89), 0.79 (0.64-0.96), 0.78 (0.64-0.95), 0.80 (0.66-0.98), and 0.79 (0.64-0.98), respectively). Subjects with higher consumption of Se, Vit A, Vit E, and provitamin A carotenoids (β-carotene, α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin) showed decreased odds of elevated ALP. These findings support the hypothesis that Se, Vit A, Vit E, and provitamin A carotenoids may be associated with improvements in ALP and act as suppressors against the development of liver injury.

Abstract
Owning the largest human-made jungle of pistachio, the second largest copper mine, and being located on the trade route of opium transit, distinguish Rafsanjan from many other cities in Iran. The environmental exposures and lifestyle factors associated with these characteristics of Rafsanjan, have raised concern about possible health outcomes for individuals living in and around this city. Thus, local health authorities initiated the Rafsanjan Cohort Study (RCS), as part of the prospective epidemiological research studies in IrAN (PERSIAN). RCS is a population-based prospective cohort of men and women aged 35-70 years, launched in August 2015. Individuals from diverse socioeconomic levels and lifestyles were recruited from four urban and suburban areas of Rafsanjan (participation rate 67.42%). Questionnaire-based interviews regarding demographics, dietary and environmental exposures, medical and occupational history, as well as anthropometric measurements were completed for all participants. Additionally, bio-specimens (blood, urine, hair, and nail) were collected, and dental and eye examinations were performed. The enrollment phase ended in December 2017, and a 15-year follow-up is planned. A total of 9990 individuals were enrolled in RCS (53.41% females). About 26% of men are pistachio farmers. The baseline prevalence of major non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and opium use were 25.45%, 10.02%, and 23.81%, respectively. The mean ± SD of other common risk factors are as follows: body mass index (27.83 ± 4.89 mm Hg), systolic blood pressure (107.18 ± 17.56 mm Hg) diastolic blood pressure (71.13 ± 10.83), fasting blood sugar (113.27 ± 39.11 mg/dL) and plasma cholesterol (198.78 ± 41.89 mg/dL). These results indicate a concerning prevalence of NCD risk factors in Rafsanjan city, warranting further detailed investigations, particularly regarding the association of NDC with agricultural/industrial pollutants and drug abuse.

Abstract
In this study, caffeic acid (CA) and its three derivatives including 3-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA, neochlorogenic acid), 4-caffeoylquinic acid (4-CQA, cryptochlorogenic acid), and 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA, chlorogenic acid) were identified in Bupleurum chinense aerial parts using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with photodiode array (PDA) detector, reference compounds and chemical reactions. Separation was performed on a C18 column using gradient elution with 4% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase at ambient temperature. In addition, the flavonoid aglycones were characterized and quantified after acid hydrolysis of the plant material. The flavonols profile showed quercetin (0.36 g per 100 g), kaempferol (1.11 g per 100 g) and isorhamnetin (0.16 g per 100 g). Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents ranged from 7.3 to 18.7% and 0.58 to 2.72% in dry plant material, respectively.

Abstract
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a widely used medicinal plant possessing several pharmacological effects due to presence of active compounds. This study describes a method of using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with photodiode array (PDA) detector for the separation of phenolic compounds in M. chamomilla and its crude extracts. Separation was conducted on C18 column (150 mm × 2 mm, 1.8 μm) using a gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 4% aqueous acetic acid at 25°C. The method proposed was validated for determination of free and total apigenin and apigenin 7-glucoside contents as bioactive compounds in the extracts by testing sensitivity, linearity, precision and recovery. In general, UPLC produced significant improvements in method sensitivity, speed and resolution. Extraction was performed with methanol, 70% aqueous ethanol and water solvents. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents ranged from 1.77 to 50.75 gram (g) of gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g and 0.82 to 36.75 g quercetin equivalent (QE)/100 g in dry material, respectively. There was a considerable difference from 40 to 740 mg/100 g for apigenin and 210 to 1110 mg/100 g for apigenin 7-glucoside in dry material.

Abstract
The prevalence of dyslipidaemia has been increasing in developing countries that are undergoing nutrition transition. However, the association of diet quality and lipid profile has not been well-understood in these countries. The aim of the current study was to compare the ability of three diet quality indices--the Mediterranean diet scale (MDS), healthy eating index-2005 (HEI-2005), and diet quality index-international (DQI-I) in relation to changes in lipid profile between baseline and 6.7 years of follow-up. Baseline data from two 24-hour dietary recalls provided by 469 adults with mean age of 38.7 +/- 12.3 years, who were participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, were analyzed to describe dietary intakes. Data on anthropometry, sociodemography, physical activity, and other lifestyle variables were recorded, and a comparison of baseline and follow-up data revealed changes in the concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-G), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). A general linear model was used in assessing changes in lipid profile depending on adherence to diet quality indices at baseline, after adjustment for age, smoking status, waist-circumference, body mass index, physical activity, and energy intake. A significant interaction was observed between scores and sex, and upon stratification, males in the highest quartile score of the HEI-2005 had significantly lower TG changes than those in the lowest quartile, after adjusting for confounders (-8.8 vs 2.9, p = 0.038). No association was apparent in females (-0.2 vs 11.2, p = 0.297). In addition, a positive association was found between DQI-I and HDL-C (Q1-0.6 vs Q4 = -2.0, p = 0.044) in males. In both sexes, all these indices were weakly associated with TC while none was associated with LDL-C. It is concluded: adherence to the HEI-2005 recommendations was weakly associated with reduced TG concentration in an urban Iranian adult population. The MDS and DQI-I were not related to change in lipid profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of diet quality indices in predicting obesity and abdominal obesity in a population in nutrition transition. METHODS This study explored the association of the Mediterranean Diet Scale (MDS), Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005), and Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in a cross-sectional study after 6.7 years of follow-up in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) population. RESULTS Out of 192 subjects who had BMI < 25kg/m(2) and of 283 subjects who were free of abdominal obesity at baseline, 39.6% developed overweight and obesity and 43.1% developed abdominal obesity, respectively during 6.7 years of follow-up in the study population. In cross-sectional analysis, after adjusting for age, sex, energy intake, physical activity and smoking status, multivariate analysis of covariance did not show any significant results regarding the relation of the diet quality indices, BMI and WC. According to follow-up analysis, none of the indices had significant associations with BMI and WC after adjustments for confounders and baseline values of BMI and WC. CONCLUSION Adherence to MDS, HEI-2005, and DQI-I could not predict BMI and WC in Iranian participants after 6.7 years of follow-up.

Abstract
Use of antioxidant components is a new approach for improvement of insulin resistance (IR) as a main feature of type 2 diabetes and its complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of broccoli sprouts powder (BSP) containing high concentration of sulphoraphane on IR in type 2 diabetic patients. Eighty-one patients were randomly assigned to receive 10 g/d BSP (A, n = 27), 5 g/d BSP (B, n = 29) and placebo (C, n = 25) for 4 weeks. Fasting serum glucose and insulin concentration, glucose to insulin ratio and homoeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) index were measured at baseline and again 4 weeks after treatment. Seventy-two patients completed the study and 63 were included in the analysis. After 4 weeks, consumption of 10 g/d BSP resulted in a significant decrease in serum insulin concentration and HOMA-IR (p = 0.05 for treatment effect). Therefore, broccoli sprouts may improve IR in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
e14516 Background: MGCD265 is an orally-available small molecule designed to inhibit c-Met, VEGFR-1, -2, -3, Tie-2 and Ron kinases. These targets are potentially relevant for the treatment of a variety of cancers. The objective of this Phase I study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MGCD265 using an intermittent schedule of administration in patients with solid tumors. Methods: This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation study of oral MGCD265 administered on days 1–7 and 15–21 (1 week on, 1 week off schedule) of each 28-day cycle. Cohorts of 3–4 patients were enrolled per dose level, initially with dose doubling between cohorts, followed by smaller increments once grade 2 drug-related toxicity is observed. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as: grade 4 neutropenia; grade 4 thrombocytopenia; any > grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity; severe/sustained hypertension; or any toxic effect leading to a patient missing > 4 doses of MGCD265. Treatment would continue until disease progression or toxicity. Results: Eleven patients with advanced solid tumors have been treated. Characteristics: age range 40–72; gender: 3 M/8F; ECOG: 1 (7 patients); 2 (4 patients). At dose levels of 24, 48 and 96 mg/m2, no DLTs nor grade 2 or greater drug-related AEs have been reported during cycle 1. Six patients received treatment for 2 or more cycles. Preliminary PK profile after the first dose of administration shows a dose dependent increase in AUC and Cmax (Table below) with an approximate mean half-life of 30 hours and an approximate mean Tmax of 7 hours. At the 96 mg/m2 dose, exposure was in the range of the lower end of the efficacious exposure in certain xenograft models. PD markers including plasma HGF and VEGF and shed/soluble receptors s-Met and s-VEGFR2 have been evaluated. Conclusions: Intermittent administration of MGCD265 was found to be well tolerated at doses of 24, 48, and 96 mg/m2. Treatment of patients at 192 mg/m2 is underway.

Abstract
Although Caco-2 cells are frequently employed for the study of enterocyte lipid metabolism, variable results have been reported regarding their ability to synthesize and secrete lipids and apolipoproteins. The major goal of this investigation is to examine the capacity of Caco-2 cells to elaborate and secrete lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins at different degrees of morphological and functional differentiation. Cells were cultured in medium with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), on permeable polycarbonate filters from 2 to 30 d in the presence of 14C-oleate or 35S-methionine. Cellular differentiation, as assessed by morphology (light and electron microscopy), transepithelial resistance, free fatty acid flux, and sucrase activity, progressed steadily up to 20 d of culture. Caco-2 cells esterified oleic acid mainly into phospholipids, triglycerides (TG), and smaller amounts of cholesterol esters. Lipid synthesis began as early as 2 d, and TG secretion was enhanced with increased duration of culture. However, very low efficiency of lipid export was observed at all levels of differentiation, reaching a maximum of only 6% of intracellular lipids. VLDL and LDL were the dominant lipoproteins secreted, with HDL comprising < 20% of the total. VLDL secretion increased, while LDL decreased, whereas the lipid composition of lipoproteins varied little with increasing duration of culture. Apoprotein B and A-I synthesis and secretion increased markedly from 11 to 20 d of culture. The ratio of apo B-100/B-48 decreased between 11 and 30 d, consistent with enhanced apo B editing of more mature enterocytes. Taken together, our data suggest that from 20 d of culture, Caco-2 cells are morphologically and functionally mature, capable of lipid esterification, and lipoprotein and apolipoprotein synthesis. However, despite their functional and morphological similarities to mature enterocytes, Caco-2 cells have a very limited lipid export capacity.

Abstract
Cytokines, important mediators of inflammation, have been shown to cause disturbances in circulating and hepatic lipid metabolism. Although the intestine plays a major role in dietary fat transport and largely contributes to plasma lipoproteins, the effects of cytokines on intestinal lipid handling remain unknown. In the present study, the modulation of lipid, apoprotein, and lipoprotein synthesis and secretion by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was investigated in Caco-2 cells. Highly differentiated and polarized cells (20 days in culture) were incubated for 20 h with recombinant human TNF-alpha (100-500 ng/ml). No cytotoxic effect of TNF-alpha cells was observed, as indicated by the determinations of Caco-2 cell viability and monolayer transepithelial resistance. Moreover, no differences in cell maturation (sucrase activity) or cell proliferation ([3H]thymidine incorporation and cell cycle analysis) were detected between treated and control cultures. Significant inhibition of lipid secretion by TNF-alpha was observed, with the greatest reduction at 500 ng/ml. TNF-alpha significantly decreased Caco-2 cell secretion of phospholipids (22%), triglycerides (30%), and cholesteryl ester (37%). It also significantly diminished the export of newly synthesized low-density lipoproteins (LDL; 20%) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL; 13%), with a lesser effect on very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL; 3%). The lipid composition of these lipoproteins was minimally affected. De novo synthesis of apo A-I, apo B-100, and apo B-48 was also markedly reduced by TNF-alpha. Sphingomyelinase activity was not increased and cell content of sphingomyelin was not altered, suggesting that inhibitory effects on lipid and apoprotein of TNF-alpha were not mediated by the ceramide pathway. Our results indicate that TNF-alpha may play a role in modulating intestinal lipid metabolism, thus affecting circulating lipoproteins.

Abstract
Caco-2 cells, an intestinal cell line derived from a human colorectal carcinoma that spontaneously differentiates under standard culture conditions, lends itself to the in vitro study of human gut in view of its efficient intestinal transport processes. Among its multiple biological functions are those related to the absorption, transport, and metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins. Despite their intestinal origin, confluent Caco-2 cell monolayers primarily express L-FABP for the uptake of apical dietary long chain fatty acids, incorporating them into triglycerides by the glycerol 3-phosphate pathway, and assembling very-low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein. The monoacyl-glycerol pathway is inactive in Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, the secretion of newly synthesized triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is very restricted, despite abundant production of apolipoprotein (apo) B. The regulation of apoB synthesis and its mRNA editing at the enterocyte level has been intensively examined in Caco-2 cells. Luminal fatty acids, calcium ion, as well as vitamins and hormones are known to modulate the apoB-48/apoB-100 at the transcriptional and/or translational level. The regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and acyl-CoA: (cholesterol acyltransferase), the key enzymes governing intracellular cholesterol handling, have also been extensively examined in Caco-2 cells. In many respects this cell line provides an excellent in vitro model for the investigation of intestinal lipoprotein metabolism; however, their limited secretion capacity remains a potential drawback to comparisons with the in vivo physiological state.

Abstract
The capacity of immature intestinal epithelial crypt cells to synthesize lipids and the factors that promote their differentiation remain largely unknown. We examined the profile of lipids synthesized by a normal rat intestinal epithelial crypt cell line (IEC-6) and determined the effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta), a putative crypt cell differentiating factor, on their lipid handling. Incubation of IEC-6 cells with [14C]oleic acid (20 h) resulted in lipid esterification and synthesis, mainly as triglycerides (TGs, 57 +/- 0.6%) and phospholipids (PLs, 30 +/- 0.6%), with a PL/TG ratio of 0.53. When cells were pulsed (2.5 h) with [14C]oleic acid and then maintained 20 h in medium alone, a significant elevation of the PL/TG ratio (10.2 +/- 1.3, p < 0.01) was observed, primarily accounted for by a significant decrease of the TG fraction (p < 0.01). IEC-6 cells secreted only trace amounts of lipids under the latter experimental condition. Incubation with TGF beta (20 h) significantly inhibited IEC-6 cell proliferation but did not promote the expression of cell sucrase activity. TGF beta induced a significant increase in the cellular composition of PL (p < 0.05) and a decrease in the TG fraction (p < 0.02), after a 2.5-h pulse of [14C]oleic acid. Lipid production was unaffected by TGF beta during the 20-h incubation with [14C]oleic acid. Lipid secretion into the medium remained negligible in the presence of TGF beta, after 2.5 h of incubation with substrate as above. Our findings suggest that immature crypt IEC-6 cells are capable of lipid esterification and synthesis but secrete minute amounts of lipoproteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The developmental aspects of characteristic intestinal lipoprotein synthesis, chlomicrons (CM), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL), are unknown. Our objective was to determine the ontogeny of intestinal lipid and lipoprotein synthesis in both the jejunum and the ileum. Explants of the jejunum and the ileum from fetal (F) (18-19 days of gestation), suckling (S) (5 days old) and weaning (W) (23 days old) rats were cultured in the presence of [14C]-oleic acid to examine lipid synthesis. The results indicate the following. (1) The incorporation of oleic acid is higher for the fetal explants. However, the efficiency of esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) into triglycerides (TG) in the jejunum increases with age (33% F, 37% S, 48% W) (P less than 0.05, by ANOVA). (2) The same profile is found at the ideal site for the incorporation of oleic acid. However, the capacity for the synthesis of TG is more intense at the suckling period (34% F, 54% S, 42% W) (P less than 0.05, by ANOVA). (3) The relative content of TG in CM changes with age: F, 90-93%; S, 80-84%; W, 33-40%. (4) A low percentage of TG content is found in CM at the weaning period while high levels are detectable in VLDL (40-42%). (5) A most significant difference is noted between the jejunum and the ileum in TG synthesis at the suckling period. The ileum synthesizes 53% more TG than the jejunum (P less than 0.025). (6) HDL particles contain substantial amounts of FFA. Nevertheless, they were also found to be able to transport TG mainly in the suckling rat. Thus, this study demonstrates that with growth the rat is able to synthesize CM, VLDL and HDL. Our findings indicate changes in the synthesis of intestinal lipids and lipoproteins, depending on both the development and the site, which suggests an ontogeny. These modifications can be attributed to dietary and hormonal influences present during the period of development.
