Featured article: Interactions between vitamin D binding protein variants and major dietary patterns on the odds of metabolic syndrome and its components in apparently healthy adults

Recent studies have shown that the risks of chronic diseases resulting from high-risk alleles, such as cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome, can be affected by various dietary patterns. Among the genes affected by environmental factors are those associated with vitamin D binding protein. The present evidence indicates that interactions between healthy dietary patterns with vitamin D binding protein haplotypes and traditional dietary patterns with vitamin D binding protein haplotypes may be effective in reducing the odds of Metabolic Syndrome and some of its components through consuming healthy food groups and inherited low risk alleles.

Aims and scope

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome publishes articles on all aspects of the pathophysiology of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

By publishing original material exploring any area of laboratory, animal or clinical research into diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the journal offers a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions into the issues of importance to the relevant community.

The journal aims to help health care providers improve the management of people afflicted by these syndromes by increasing knowledge and stimulating research in the field.

It’s no secret that our diet affects our health, and now new research suggests that it is actually the bacteria-rich biome in our gut that holds clues to just how harmful or helpful some of our food choices may be.
