“…It is also a fact that fish consumption is more common in some parts of Iran which are closer to the sea (Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf); but in other regions, fish is not a common food in daily diet of people and it is rarely consumed. Although the mean daily consumption of fish was higher in our study than previous studies (20), a study in Iran revealed that the gap between the current fish consumption and the amounts necessary for maintaining healthy diet is still far from satisfactory (21).…”

Dietary Determinants of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Lean and Non-Lean Adult Patients: A Population-Based Study in Shiraz, Southern Iran

et al. 2017

Background: Dietary components predisposing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been conflicting to date. This study aimed to compare macro and micronutrients and food intake among non-lean and lean patients with NAFLD. Methods: Adult people older than 18 years from seven postal districts of Shiraz, Iran, were selected using multistage cluster randomized sampling. Nutrition status was queried by a standard food frequency questionnaire and NAFLD was detected by sonography.

“…This might suggest a dose-response relationship between lean fish consumption and WC. However, results are conflicting, and not all studies have observed significant associations between fish consumption and a decrease in WC [17,22]. However, in these studies, fatty and lean fish were not assessed separately.…”

“…In previous studies, higher fish consumption has been associated with an increased HDL-C in both men [17] and women [22]. However, when fatty fish consumption and lean fish consumption were examined separately in intervention studies, a significant increase in HDL-C was reported for fatty fish [51,52], but not for lean fish [52].…”

“…However, when fatty fish consumption and lean fish consumption were examined separately in intervention studies, a significant increase in HDL-C was reported for fatty fish [51,52], but not for lean fish [52]. Fish consumption has also been associated with a decreased TG both in women [22,53], and in men [17]. Still, the results are conflicting, and not all studies have found such associations [36,54].…”

“…Lifestyle interventions are the primary strategy in MetS therapy today, and fish consumption could be useful in dietary strategies to improve MetS components. To our knowledge, few studies have investigated associations between fish consumption and MetS [16] and the published results are not conclusive [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. …”

Lean Fish Consumption Is Associated with Beneficial Changes in the Metabolic Syndrome Components: A 13-Year Follow-Up Study from the Norwegian Tromsø Study

2017

Background: Fish consumption may have beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome (MetS); however, limited information of such associations exists. This study investigated possible associations between fish consumption and changes in MetS components during a 13-year follow-up period. Methods: The sample included participants (26–69 years) from the Tromsø Study 4 (1994–1995, n = 23,907) and Tromsø Study 6 (2007–2008, n = 12,981). Data were collected using questionnaires including food frequency questions, non-fasting blood samples, and physical examinations. MetS was defined using the Joint Interim Societies (JIS) definition, in which one point was given for each MetS criteria fulfilled (metabolic score). Longitudinal analyses were performed using Linear mixed models. Results: For both genders, lean fish consumption once a week or more was significantly associated with decreased future metabolic score, decreased triglycerides, and increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, whereas decreased waist circumference and blood pressure was identified only for men (age adjusted models). Fatty fish consumption was significantly associated with increased waist circumference for both genders and increased HDL-cholesterol levels in men. Conclusion: The results suggest that fatty and lean fish consumption may influence MetS differently and that lean fish consumption in particular seems to be associated with beneficial changes in the MetS components.

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common clustering of cardiovascular risk factors associated with increased inflammation. Long non‐coding RNA (LncRNA) are involved in many of the body's metabolic activities, including inflammation. Vitamin D may play a vital role in preventing metabolic syndrome risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the status of inflammation and expression of LncRNA and their relationship with serum vitamin D levels in patients with metabolic syndrome. Method This cross‐sectional study included staff and Mashhad University of Medical Sciences students between 30 and 50 years old who met the International Diabetes Federation criteria for Mets. Total RNA was extracted from both frozen clinical samples using the Trizol reagent. Results A total of eighty people were recruited into the two groups, with and without MetS. Inflammatory markers were higher in the individuals in the MetS group, and linear regression showed an inverse association between serum vitamin D and LncRNAs. There was a positive association between inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profiles and Adiponectin Antisense (APQ AS) expression. Conclusion APQ AS and MALAT1 levels are positively associated with inflammatory biomarkers and inverse relation between MALAT1 and serum 25 (OH) D concentration.

Fish consumption is inversely associated with the metabolic syndrome

Abstract: We found that increased fish intake was independently related to the lower odds of metabolic syndrome and its features. Further prospective investigations are warranted to confirm this association.
