Of the 168 genes that were changed in asthma, several biological processes were overrepresented, with 25 genes involved in "immune system processes". qPCR confirmed that S100P, S100A16, MAL and MUC1 were significantly increased in the asthma group post-meal. We also observed a strong correlation and a moderate correlation between the change in NLRP12 and S100A16 gene expression at 4 h compared to baseline, and the change in total and saturated non-esterified plasma fatty acid levels at 2 h compared to baseline. In summary, our data identifies differences in inflammatory gene expression that may contribute to increased airway neutrophilia following a high fat meal in subjects with asthma and may provide useful therapeutic targets for immunomodulation. This may be particularly relevant to obese asthmatics, who are habitually consuming diets with a high fat content.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:29:16 AEDT ]]> Pathways linked to unresolved inflammation and airway remodelling characterize the transcriptome in two independent severe asthma cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50107 Wed 12 Jul 2023 13:43:56 AEST ]]> Multidimensional assessment and tailored interventions for COPD: respiratory utopia or common sense? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17148 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:15:05 AEST ]]> Fish oil supplementation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31124 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:45:05 AEST ]]> Increased sleep latency and reduced sleep duration in children with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14520 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:28:20 AEST ]]> Determinants of weight loss success utilizing a meal replacement plan and/or exercise, in overweight and obese adults with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25338 s = 0.398, P = 0.015) and (rs = 0.455, P = 0.005) respectively), with 1.7% greater absolute weight loss at week 10 corresponding to each one unit reduction in the asthma-related quality of life score at baseline. Furthermore, a lower baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity correlated with greater weight loss (rs = 0.398, P = 0.015). Male sex was associated with a 3.6 kg greater weight loss (P = 0.087). Reducing emotional eating during the programme was associated with greater weight loss in women (rs = 0.576, P = 0.010). Conclusions This study demonstrates that individuals with more severe asthma at baseline are more successful in achieving weight loss, which could be a consequence of greater motivation and could be used as a motivational tool within the clinical setting. Gender tailoring of weight loss programmes may be useful to enhance weight loss success. Future studies are urgently needed to establish predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance in those with asthma. See Editorial, page 179 This study is the first to demonstrate that more severe asthma at baseline, male sex, and improvements in eating behaviours during weight loss are associated with greater weight loss success in overweight and obese adults with asthma. Our findings may inform the development of asthma-specific weight management guidelines.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:48 AEST ]]> Feasibility of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as an adjunct therapy for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14698 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:15:41 AEST ]]> Immunometabolism in obese asthmatics: are we there yet? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17057 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:31:23 AEST ]]> Nutrition and respiratory health: feature review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25152 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:49:07 AEST ]]> Anti-inflammatory effects of long-chain n-3 PUFA in rhinovirus-infected cultured airway epithelial cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6954 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:48:02 AEST ]]> Nutritional solutions to reduce risks of negative health impacts of air pollution https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22588 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:37:32 AEST ]]> Antioxidant-rich dietary intervention for improving asthma control in pregnancies complicated by asthma: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16765 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:10:01 AEST ]]> Obesity and childhood asthma - mechanisms and manifestations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22224 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:02:09 AEST ]]> Evidence that asthma is a developmental origin disease influenced by maternal diet and bacterial metabolites https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28242 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:02:15 AEST ]]> Acute effects of feeding fructose, glucose and sucrose on blood lipid levels and systemic inflammation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16779 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:59:41 AEST ]]> Acute exercise is associated with reduced exhaled nitric oxide in physically inactive adults with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24115 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:19:58 AEST ]]> Airway and systemic inflammation in obese children with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13797 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:18:00 AEST ]]> Dietary changes in migrant adolescents with increasing length of stay in Australia and associated risk of wheeze - a retrospective, cross sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20997 n = 144) in a multicultural high school in Western Sydney completed the asthma symptoms ISAAC video questionnaire (AVQ3.0), spirometry and allergy skin prick tests. A dietitian administered a 'Food Frequency' and 'Food Habits' questionnaire and a dietary history interview. Results: Students who spoke a language other than English, consumed a traditional or mixed dietary pattern, with lower consumption of saturated fat, compared to students who spoke English only. Saturated fat intake increased and fibre intake decreased with length of time in Australia. Intake of foods high in saturated or trans fatty acids were positively associated with length of stay in Australia. No associations between nutrient intake or whole food intake and self-reported wheeze were observed. Conclusion: As time progressed, dietary intake of immigrant children changed. While this was not associated with the development of wheeze in the students in this cohort, these changes are likely to have negative health consequences.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:16:19 AEST ]]> Improving asthma during pregnancy with dietary antioxidants: The current evidence https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17382 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:02:05 AEST ]]> Dietary interventions in asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19199 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:44:57 AEST ]]> A high-fat challenge increases airway inflammation and impairs bronchodilator recovery in asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17958 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:41:07 AEST ]]> A 'soft spot' for drug transport: modulation of cell stiffness using fatty acids and its impact on drug transport in lung model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22756 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:39:12 AEST ]]> Impact of dietary tomato juice on changes in pulmonary oxidative stress, inflammation and structure induced by neonatal hyperoxia in mice (Mus musculus) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25066 heme oxygenase-1 expression), inflammation (interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression), collagen (COL) and smooth muscle in the lungs; we also assessed lung structure. We quantified macrophages in lung tissue (at P7d) and leukocytes in BALF (at P56d). At P7d, TJ increased pulmonary TAC and COL1α1 expression and attenuated the hyperoxia-induced increase in nitrotyrosine and macrophage influx; however, changes in lung structure were not affected. At P56d, TJ increased TAC, decreased oxidative stress and reversed the hyperoxia-induced increase in bronchiolar smooth muscle. Additionally, TJ alone decreased IL-1β expression, but following hyperoxia TJ increased TNF-α expression and did not alter the hyperoxia-induced increase in leukocyte number. We conclude that TJ supplementation during and after neonatal exposure to hyperoxia protects the lung from some but not all aspects of hyperoxia-induced injury, but may also have adverse side-effects. The effects of TJ are likely due to elevation of circulating antioxidant concentrations.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:21:28 AEST ]]> Neutrophil extracellular traps are associated with inflammation in chronic airway disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24433 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:59:14 AEDT ]]> Adipose-Derived VEGF–mTOR Signaling Promotes Endometrial Hyperplasia and Cancer: Implications for Obese Women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43015 Wed 09 Aug 2023 12:26:25 AEST ]]> Lifestyle risk factors for weight gain in children with and without asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30679 n = 17; age 10.7 (2.4) years) and without asthma (n = 17; age 10.8 (2.3) years), referred for overnight polysomnography, underwent measurement of lung function, plasma appetite hormones, dietary intake and food cravings, activity, and daytime sleepiness. Sleep latency (56.6 (25.5) vs. 40.9 (16.9) min, p = 0.042) and plasma triglycerides (1.0 (0.8, 1.2) vs. 0.7 (0.7, 0.8) mmol/L, p = 0.013) were significantly greater in asthmatic versus non-asthmatic children. No group difference was observed in appetite hormones, dietary intake, or activity levels (p > 0.05). Sleep duration paralleled overall diet quality (r = 0.36, p = 0.04), whilst daytime sleepiness paralleled plasma lipids (r = 0.61, p =0.001) and sedentary time (r = 0.39, p = 0.02). Disturbances in sleep quality and plasma triglycerides were evident in non-obese asthmatic children referred for polysomnography, versus non-asthmatic children. Observed associations between diet quality, sedentary behavior, and metabolic and sleep-related outcomes warrant further investigation, particularly the long-term health implications.]]> Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:15:41 AEST ]]> An altered sputum macrophage transcriptome contributes to the neutrophilic asthma endotype https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44806 Wed 01 May 2024 12:05:04 AEST ]]> Endoplasmic reticulum-unfolded protein response signalling is altered in severe eosinophilic and neutrophilic asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49760 Tue 30 May 2023 18:39:10 AEST ]]> Medicinal Mushroom Extracts from Hericium coralloides and Trametes versicolor Exert Differential Immunomodulatory Effects on Immune Cells from Older Adults In Vitro https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54436 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:49:20 AEDT ]]> Dietary ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid increases inflammation, but inhibits ECM protein expression in COPD https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36521 Tue 26 May 2020 10:11:49 AEST ]]> Children With Asthma Have Impaired Innate Immunity and Increased Numbers of Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Compared With Healthy Controls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39820 Tue 26 Jul 2022 11:33:21 AEST ]]> Is the consumption of fast foods associated with asthma or other allergic diseases? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44917 P <0.001).

The primary outcome, cerebrovascular responsiveness to hypercapnia, was not affected by the interventions. However, cerebral artery stiffness was significantly reduced in males following fish oil supplementation (P = 0.007). Furthermore, fish oil reduced heart rate (P = 0.038) and serum triglycerides (P = 0.006) and increased HDL cholesterol (P = 0.002). Curcumin did not significantly affect these outcomes either alone or in combination with fish oil. Conclusion: Regular supplementation with fish oil but not curcumin improved biomarkers of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function. The combined supplementation did not result in additional benefits. Further studies are warranted to identify an efficacious curcumin dose and to characterize (in terms of sex, BMI, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors) populations whose cerebrovascular and cognitive functions might benefit from either intervention.

Blood tests were performed to determine Epstein Barr virus (EBV) status and DNA was genotyped for a panel of cytokine gene polymorphisms. Saliva was collected for measurement of IgA and detection of EBV DNA. Athletes were then followed for 9 months for self-reported episodes of respiratory illness, with confirmation of the underlying cause by a sports physician. There were no associations with risk of respiratory illness identified for any parameter assessed in the clinical evaluations. The laboratory parameters associated with an increased risk of respiratory illnesses in highly-trained athletes were cytokine gene polymorphisms for the high expression of IL-6 and IFN-γ expression of EBV-DNA in saliva; and low levels of salivary IgA concentration. A genetic risk score was developed for the cumulative number of minor alleles for the cytokines evaluated. Athletes prone to recurrent respiratory illness were more likely to have immune disturbances that allow viral reactivation, and a genetic predisposition to pro-inflammatory cytokine responses to intense exercise.]]> Thu 14 Mar 2019 16:50:14 AEDT ]]> Nitrate-rich vegetables do not lower blood pressure in individuals with mildly elevated blood pressure: a 4-wk randomized controlled crossover trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32882 0.05) after adjustment for pretreatment values, treatment period, and treatment order.

Conclusions: Skin yellowness (b*) and fasting plasma carotenoid concentrations were significantly higher following HCFV than LCFV over 4 weeks.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:58 AEDT ]]> Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27246 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:11 AEDT ]]> Macrophage activation, age and sex effects of immunometabolism in obese asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26767 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:45 AEDT ]]> Lycopene-rich treatments modify noneosinophilic airway inflammation in asthma: proof of concept https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4852 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:52 AEDT ]]> Oxidized vitamin E and glutathione as markers of clinical status in asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4850 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:52 AEDT ]]> Kinetics of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids when co-administered with saturated or omega-6 fats https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22886 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:19 AEDT ]]> Oral corticosteroid use in exacerbations of asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23310 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:31 AEDT ]]> Energy homeostasis and appetite regulating hormones as predictors of weight loss in men and women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24600 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:49 AEDT ]]> Nutrition in Asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48173 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:23:34 AEDT ]]> LipSpin: A New Bioinformatics Tool for Quantitative<sup>1</sup>H NMR Lipid Profiling https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47536 Mon 23 Jan 2023 12:22:36 AEDT ]]> Asthma and Three Colinear Comorbidities: Obesity, OSA, and GERD https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46219 Mon 14 Nov 2022 12:04:55 AEDT ]]> Dietary omega-6, but not omega-3, polyunsaturated or saturated fatty acids increase inflammation in primary lung mesenchymal cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35650 Mon 13 Nov 2023 11:04:35 AEDT ]]> Carotenoids, fatty acids and disease burden in obese minority adolescents with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48274 Mon 13 Mar 2023 18:53:32 AEDT ]]> Effect of obesity on airway and systemic inflammation in adults with asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53538 Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:44:36 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of technology-based dietary intake assessment validation studies that include carotenoid biomarkers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29922 Fri 24 Aug 2018 09:03:14 AEST ]]> A sputum gene expression signature predicts oral corticosteroid response in asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34249 Fri 22 Feb 2019 16:55:30 AEDT ]]> Asthma control in pregnancy is associated with pre-conception dietary patterns https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23240 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:21:16 AEST ]]> Effects of fruit and vegetable consumption on inflammatory biomarkers and immune cell populations: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37059 Fri 21 Aug 2020 11:53:43 AEST ]]> Lean mass, not fat mass, is associated with lung function in male and female children with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17857 Fri 19 Jun 2015 15:04:57 AEST ]]> Omega-3 Fatty Acids during Pregnancy in Indigenous Australian Women of the Gomeroi Gaaynggal Cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53130 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:58:06 AEDT ]]> Asthma medication use in obese and healthy weight asthma: systematic review/meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46107 −2) versus healthy-weight (BMI <25 kg·m−2) subjects with asthma. Design Databases including CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Cochrane, Embase and MEDLINE were searched up to July 2019 for English-language studies that recorded medication use or dose in obese and healthy-weight adults with asthma. A critical appraisal checklist was utilised for scrutinising methodological quality of eligible studies. Meta-analysis was performed and heterogeneity was examined with the use of the Chi-squared test. This review was conducted based on a published protocol (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO CRD42020148671). Results Meta-analysis showed that obese subjects are more likely to use asthma medications, including short-acting β2-agonists (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.17–2.60; p=0.006, I2=41%) and maintenance oral corticosteroids (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.49–2.31; p<0.001, I2=0%) compared to healthy-weight subjects. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose (µg·day−1) was significantly higher in obese subjects (mean difference 208.14, 95% CI 107.01–309.27; p<0.001, I2=74%). Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) % predicted was significantly lower in obese subjects (mean difference −5.32%, 95% CI −6.75–−3.89; p<0.001, I2=42%); however, no significant differences were observed in FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio between groups. Conclusions We found that obese subjects with asthma have higher use of all included asthma medication classes and higher ICS doses than healthy-weight asthma subjects, despite lower FEV1 and a similar FEV1/FVC %. A better understanding of the factors driving increased medication use is required to improve outcomes in this subgroup of asthmatics.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:35:55 AEDT ]]> Airway β-defensin-1 protein Is elevated in COPD and severe asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22673 Fri 11 Jun 2021 13:31:32 AEST ]]> Effects of an encapsulated fruit and vegetable juice concentrate on obesity-induced systemic inflammation: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30780 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:35 AEDT ]]> Effects of pomegranate extract supplementation on inflammation in overweight and obese individuals: a randomized controlled clinical trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24548 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:24 AEDT ]]> Effects of fruit and vegetable consumption on risk of asthma, wheezing and immune responses: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32830 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:06 AEDT ]]> Dysregulation of sputum columnar epithelial cells and products in distinct asthma phenotypes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37118 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:20 AEDT ]]>
