The role of this journal, “Asploro Journal of Biomedical and Clinical Case Reports (AJBCCR)” would be providing meaningful information on medical practice and research widely in the world. The word ASPLORO means Research which is coined from the language Esperanto. In the special issue concerning diet therapy, various research and case reports will be expected such as Low Carbohydrate Diet (LCD), Calorie Restriction (CR) Diet, the Mediterranean Diet, and other kinds of methods.

The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, adequate-protein, and low-carbohydrate diet that leads to nutritional ketosis and weight loss. It is known to induce ketosis but is not an established cause of clinically significant ketoacidosis. Lactation ketoacidosis is well established in bovine literature but remains a rare phenomenon in humans. Here we present a life-threatening case of severe ketoacidosis in a nondiabetic lactating mother on a strict ketogenic diet. We review the available case reports of lactation ketoacidosis in humans and the mechanisms thereof. Although ketogenic diet has been shown to be safe in nonpregnant individuals, the safety of this diet in lactating mothers is not known. Health professionals and mothers should be made aware of the potential risk associated with a strict ketogenic diet when combined with lactation. Prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment cannot be overemphasized. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of life-threatening lactation ketoacidosis associated with ketogenic diet while consuming an adequate number of calories per day.

Background Previous studies showed the possible association between obesity, dietary pattern, and depressive symptoms. Due to the lack of enough data to confirm the association of obesity and depression in the Middle East, here, we aimed to explore the possible mediatory role of adipokines Galectin-3, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the association between low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and depressive symptoms. Methods A total of 256 women aged 17–56 years old were grouped based on their LCD score. Depression anxiety stress scales-21 (DASS-21) self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate the three negative emotional states of stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. Body composition and dietary intake were assessed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the serum levels of Galectin-3, TGF-β, and PAI-1. Results No significant difference was observed regarding Galectin-3, TGF-β, and PAI-1 levels between the groups with dissimilar adherence to LCD or the groups with different levels of depressive symptoms (P>0.05). However, there was a negative association between LCD score as a covariant and depressive symptoms as an independent variable (P = 0.02) and remarkably, a regression model linear analysis using Galectin-3, TGF-β, and PAI-1 as confounding variables indicated the mediatory role of these adipokines in this association (P>0.05). In other words, adipokines eliminated the significance of the relationship between adherence to LCD and depressive symptoms. Conclusion It seems that higher adherence to LCD is probably associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms in obese adults through the mediatory role of adipokines.

Abstract Background Due to lack of enough date to confirm the association of obesity and depression in middle east, We aimed to explore the possible mediatory role of adipokines such as galactin1, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), and endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the association between obesity and depression.Methods A total of 256 women ranged between 18-48 years old were grouped based on their low carbohydrate diet (LCD) score. Body composition and dietary intake were assessed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum adipokines levels.Results There was a negative association between LCD score as a covariant and depression as an independent variable (P= 0.02) (beta ±SE= -0.143±0.031) (CI= -0.129 to -0.08). A regression model linear analysis using galactin1, TGF-β, and PAI 1 as a covariant indicated the mediatory effects of these adipokines (P > 0.05). The higher adherence to LCD was associated with a decrease of anthropometric components (p < 0.05).Conclusion We indicated that a higher adherence to LCD would probably ameliorate depression through the mediatory role of the study adipokines. The higher adherence of LCD in depressive obese individuals due to possible improvement effects on mental health.
