While this study and previous work linking zinc deficiency to inflammation might suggest that supplementation could help very sick ICU patients it's still too early to make that leap.
Usually if there is zinc deficiency we would expect to see other nutrient deficiencies too. Zinc deficiency affects about 2 billion people worldwide including an estimated 40 percent of the elderly in the United states--who are also among the most likely Americans to end up in an ICU.
The research is published in the journal Cell Reports. Knoell's lab previously showed that zinc-deficient mice developed overwhelming inflammation in response to sepsis compared to mice on a normal diet.
When researchers allowed this protein to function unchecked in mice with zinc deficiency the animals developed excessive inflammation in response to sepsis--confirmation that IKKB was zinc's target to turn off the inflammatory pathway.
His lab is continuing to study the NF-Î B pathway inflammation and zinc deficiency in other disease processes.

and metabolic syndrome said Ishwarlal Jialal lead author of the study and a professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and of internal medicine at UC Davis. But our research helps to dispel the myth that gluteal fat is'innocent.'
'It also suggests that abnormal protein levels may be an early indicator to identify those at risk for developing metabolic syndrome.
The UC Davis team found that in individuals with early metabolic syndrome gluteal fat secreted elevated levels of chemerin
High chemerin levels correlated with four of the five characteristics of metabolic syndrome and may be a promising biomarker for metabolic syndrome said Jialal.
As it's also an indicator of inflammation and insulin resistance it could also emerge as part of a biomarker panel to define high-risk obesity states.
The good news is that with weight loss you can reduce chemerin levels along with the risk for metabolic syndrome.
and colleagues recruited 45 patients with early metabolic syndrome--defined as having at least three risk factors for metabolic syndrome including central obesity hypertension mild increases in glucose levels not yet in the diabetic range(<126 mg/dl
) hyperlipidemia without cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A control group of 30 subjects had less than two risk factors for metabolic syndrome with normal glucose and triglyceride levels.
Both groups were matched for gender and age. Complete blood counts lipid profiles and blood glucose blood pressure and C reactive-protein protein levels were measured in all participants.
and gluteal fat of subjects with metabolic syndrome compared to those in the control group. The abnormal levels of these two proteins were also independent of age body mass index and waist circumference.
and cardiovascular disease in metabolic syndrome Jialal said. Other authors of the study entitled Increased Chemerin and Decreased Omentin-1 in Both Adipose tissue and Plasma in Nascent Metabolic syndrome include Sridevi Devaraj of Baylor College of Medicine Harmeet

#Drop in global malnutrition depends on agricultural productivity, climate changeglobal malnutrition could fall 84 percent by the year 2050 as incomes in developing countries grow
--but only if agricultural productivity continues to improve and climate change does not severely damage agriculture Purdue University researchers say.
The prevalence and severity of global malnutrition could drop significantly by 2050 particularly in the poorest regions of the world said Thomas Hertel Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics.
But if productivity does not grow global malnutrition will worsen even if incomes increase. Climate change also adds a good deal of uncertainty to these projections.
The shift toward a diet higher in calories and richer in protein could lift many in hunger-stricken regions such as Sub-saharan africa South Asia China and Mongolia above the malnutrition line.
Income growth alone will not be enough to solve the malnutrition problem. Historically agricultural productivity has been driven by investments in agricultural research and development.

not only to combat hunger malnutrition and over-nutrition but also to protect global food supplies against the impacts of global climate change.
