Inflammation and Diabetes: Evaluating Antioxidant Levels

The goal of this observational, cross-sectional study is to evaluate the relationships between dietary total antioxidant capacity, systemic inflammatory response markers, and nutritional parameters in adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Participants will be classified into controlled (HbA1c \< %7) and uncontrolled (HbA1c ≥ %7) diabetes groups based on their glycemic control. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does dietary antioxidant capacity affect systemic inflammation levels and metabolic parameters? Is there a relationship between nutritional risk status and inflammatory response in T2DM patients?

Effects of the Dietary Inflammatory Index on Systemic Inflammation Markers and Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Individuals With Bariatric Surgery

The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to evaluate the relationships between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), systemic inflammatory markers, and gastrointestinal symptoms in adults aged 18-65 who have undergone bariatric surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the inflammatory potential of the diet affect systemic inflammation levels (such as SII, CRP, and WBC) in the post-operative period? Is there an association between the DII score and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., bloating, gas, abdominal pain)? Participants who are at least three months post-bariatric surgery will provide dietary intake data to calculate DII scores, undergo blood tests to measure inflammatory markers, and complete assessments regarding their gastrointestinal symptoms.
