Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Circulating Levels of Sirtuin 4 in Obese Patients: A Novel Association
Table 9
Multiple regression analysis models (stepwise method) with the circulating levels of Sirt4 as dependent variable to estimate the predictive value of the following: (a) food items of PREDIMED questionnaire and PREDIMED score and (b) total energy intake, SFA, n-3 PUFA, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Among adherence to the MD and food items (model 1) and among dietary macronutrient and micronutrient intake (model 2), circulating levels of Sirt4 were well predicted by PREDIMED score and n-3 PUFA. A value in bold type denotes a significant difference (). Sirt4: sirtuin 4; PREDIMED: PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea; SFA: saturated fatty acids; PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acids. |
