The dietary modifications were more effective in reducing both SBP and DBP vs. control diet .
The Low-sodium , High-fiber , DASH , Low-fat , Low-protein and Vegan dietary approach were significantly more effective in reducing SBP compared to a control diet .
The High-fiber , Low-fat , Low-protein and Vegan diet were significantly more effective in reducing DBP .
The Low-sodium and High fiber diets had the greatest lowering effect on SBP and DBP in T2D patients .
CONCLUSIONS Adopting healthful dietary modifications were more effective in reducing both SBP and DBP vs. control .
The High-fiber and Low-sodium diets had the greatest lowering effect on SBP and DBP in T2D

Vitamin D3 Induced Decrease in IL-17 and Malondialdehyde, and Increase in IL-10 and Total Antioxidant Capacity Levels in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
BACKGROUND Given the variations in clinical presentation and physiopathological mechanisms in irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ) subtypes , it is an acknowledged fact that the response to treatments can be disparate . OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of vitamin D on inflammatory cytokines ( IL-17 , IL-10 , TNF-α ) , and biomarkers of oxidative stress ( total antioxidant capacity ( TAC ) , and malondialdehyde ( MDA ) ) among IBS patients . METHODS A double-blind , r and omized , placebo-controlled 6-month intervention study was carried out on 90 IBS patients ( 85 were analyzed ) , as defined by the Rome III criteria . Study participants were r and omly assigned to receive either 50,000 IU vitamin D3 or a placebo fortnightly . RESULTS Vitamin D supplementation significantly reduced the IL-17 and MDA serum levels ( P<0.05 ) and observably increased the TAC and IL-10 serum levels ( P<0.05 ) , compared with the placebo group . Comparing different bowel habit subtypes , we observed that it was only in diarrhea predominant IBS ( IBS-D ) that vitamin D supplementation was able to significantly reduce the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-17 ( P<0.05 ) . However , in all subtypes , IL-10 and TAC increased , while MDA decreased ( P<0.05 ) in vitamin D group , compared to the placebo group . CONCLUSION Vitamin D3 supplementation reduces the serum IL-17 and MDA levels , and augments the serum IL-10 and TAC levels in IBS patients , particularly in IBS-D subtype . Thus , the present study demonstrates the beneficial effects of vitamin D on patients with
