    Relationship between nutritional status, anthropometric measurements and dietary inflammatory index in professional football players
    (2023-03-01) EREN, FATİH; Kenger E. B., EREN F., GÜNEŞ F. E.
    Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the nutritional status, anthropometric measurements and dietary inflammatory index (DII) of professional football players exposed to long-term intense exercise. Method: Twenty-one professional male football players with a mean age of 26.00 +/- 5.69 years playing in the same club participated in the study. The nutritional status of the football players was evaluated with 3-day food consumption record (2 days of training and 1 match day). DII scores were calculated using data on 34 nutrient/nutritional ingredients obtained from the food consumption records. Body fat percentage in the anthropometric evaluations were determined by caliper and skinfold thicknesses. Results: The median DII scores of the football players were found as - 3.42 (-9.95 - 0.95), and their nutritional intake were found to be anti-inflammatory. When the relationship between the DII scores of the football players and their anthropometric measurements was examined, a positive and significant correlation (R: .476; p: .029) was found between their DII score and their abdominal adiposity. However, there was no significant correlation (p> .05) between the DII scores and the other anthropometric measurements. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation (R: - .468; p: .032) between fiber consumption and abdominal adiposity, and a significant positive correlation between carbohydrate and fat consumption and body weight (respectively R= .730 p= .000; R= .526 p= .014). Conclusion: It has been revealed that the football players participating in our study generally have an anti-inflammatory diet. It was also found that abdominal adiposity was higher in the football players with high DII scores.

    The relationship between polyphenols and miRNAs: A novel therapeutic strategy for metabolic associated fatty liver disease
    (2021-05-01) EREN, FATİH; GÜNEŞ, FATMA ESRA; Bayram H. M., EREN F., Gunes F. E.
    Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a public health problem that is increasingly recognized, currently affecting up to a quarter of the world\"s adult population. Although a biopsy is the current gold standard to diagnose MAFLD, there are potentially serious complications, making it inadequate. Thus far, noninvasive methods have not been able to determine the stage and the subtype of MAFLD. The development and prognosis of MAFLD are modulated by epigenetic factors, including microRNAs (miRNAs), which may be potential biomarkers for MAFLD. Polyphenols, found in many fruits and vegetables, may be useful, as they alter gene expression with epigenetic factors, such as miRNAs. This review presents an overview of the relationship between polyphenols and miRNAs in MAFLD. The literature suggests that miRNAs could be used as a diagnostic method for MAFLD, especially miRNA-122 and miRNA-34a. However, though it has been demonstrated that polyphenols may contribute to improving MAFLD, to our knowledge, no study to date has shown the relationship between polyphenols and miRNAs in MAFLD. The exact mechanisms of polyphenols on miRNAs in MAFLD remain unclear. Future studies may provide hope for diet therapy for MAFLD patients as well as the development of polyphenol-related foods or drugs that target miRNAs to treat MAFLD.

    The role of myocardial performance index and Nt-proBNP levels as a marker of heart dysfunction in nonalcoholic cirrhotic patients
    (2022-01-01) TOKAY TARHAN, SENA; EREN, FATİH; FAK, ALİ SERDAR; TOKAY TARHAN S., Yilmaz Enc F., EREN F., FAK A. S., Ozdogan O.
    Objective: Cardiac dysfunction has been reported in both cirrhotic and alcoholic patients. Our aim was to determine the relation of serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) levels to myocardial performance index (MPI) and disease severity in nonalcoholic cirrhotic patients. Patients and Methods: In this prospective study including 25 cirrhotic patients and 27 healthy controls, MPI was assessed by pulsedwave tissue Doppler imaging (PW-TDI). The disease severity was determined by Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP ) and model for endstage liver disease (MELD) scores. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in MPI levels between patients and controls (p< 0.246). Nt-proBNP levels (p< 0.0003), cardiac output (CO) (p< 0.0002), left ventricular end-systolic (LVES) volume (p< 0.031) and QT interval (p< 0.0001) increased and left ventricular systolic function was normal in all cirrhotic patients when compared to controls. Nt-proBNP levels were positively correlated with MELD scores (p< 0.0001, r= 0.59), QT duration (p< 0.0001, r= 0.59), CO (p= 0,001, r= 0.44), right atrial (RA) area (p= 0.026, r= 0.31) and negatively correlated with diastolic BP (p= 0.015, r= – 0.34). Conclusion: We conclude that in nonalcoholic cirrhotic patients, left ventricular MPI and systolic function were normal. Nt-proBNP levels were correlated with the disease severity and hyperdynamic circulation.

    Does Genetic Variation in PNPLA3, TM6SF2 and HSD17B13 have a Role in the Development or Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Turkish Patients with Hepatitis B?
    (2024-06-01) EREN, FATİH; Demirtas C. O., Eren F., Yilmaz D., Ozdogan O. C., Gunduz F.
    Background & Aims: Progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is restricted by viral suppression in chronic hepatitis B (CHB); however, some patients still progress despite antiviral therapy. Presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) such as PNPLA3 rs738409 and TM6SF2 rs58542926 are associated with the development and progression of steatotic liver disease to HCC, whereas a splice variant in HSD17B13 rs72613567:TA has been shown to be protective. We investigated the role of these SNPs in the development or prognosis of HCC in pure CHB etiology, in the absence of hepatic steatosis, remains unknown.Materials: We analysed PNPLA3 rs738409, TM6SF2 rs58542926, and HSD17B13 rs72613567 SNPs in a prospectively recruited cohort (n=323) consisting of healthy controls, CHB and CHB-HCC patients without hepatic steatosis. SNPs were determined by PCR analysis and associations for the alleles and genotypes were investigated using adjusted-logistic regression analyses. The overall survival (OS) data were collected from CHB-HCC patients for survival analysis.Results: The genotype and allelic distribution of PNPLA3 rs738409, TM6SF2 rs58542926, and HSD17B13 rs72613567 were similar between healthy controls, CHB, and CHB-HCC groups. No genotype, allele or haplotype analysis was found to be associated with increased risk for CHB-HCC. Survival analysis revealed no genotype or allele to be associated with OS in patients with CHB-HCC.Conclusions: We could not demonstrate any association of PNPLA3 rs738409, TM6SF2 rs58542926, and HSD17B13 rs72613567 with the development or prognosis of CHB-HCC, supporting the initial hypothesis that they should be considered specific hotspots for liver diseases characterized with hepatic steatosis.
