The meta- analysis provides evidence that vegetarianism is associated with lower serum concentrations of hs-CRP when individuals follow a vegetarian diet for at least 2 years .
A vegetarian diet might be a useful approach to manage inflammaging in the long term
OBJECTIVE Vegetarian diets contain various anti-inflammatory components .
We aim ed to investigate the effects of  vegetarianism  on inflammatory biomarkers when compared with  omnivores .
Fatty Fish Intake Decreases Lipids Related to Inflammation and Insulin Signaling—A Lipidomics Approach
Background The evidence of the multiple beneficial health effects of fish consumption is strong , but physiological mechanisms behind these effects are not completely known . Little information is available on the effects of consumption of different type of fish . The aim of this study was to investigate how fatty fish or lean fish in a diet affect serum lipidomic profiles in subjects with coronary heart disease . Methodology and Principal Findings A pilot study was design ed which included altogether 33 subjects with myocardial infa rct ion or unstable ischemic attack in an 8-week parallel controlled intervention . The subjects were r and omized to either fatty fish ( n = 11 ) , lean fish ( n = 12 ) or control ( n = 10 ) groups . Subjects in the fish groups had 4 fish meals per week and subjects in the control group consumed lean beef , pork and chicken . A fish meal was allowed once a week maximum . Lipidomics analyses were performed using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography . Multiple bioactive lipid species , including ceramides , lysophosphatidylcholines and diacylglycerols , decreased significantly in the fatty fish group , whereas in the lean fish group cholesterol esters and specific long-chain triacylglycerols increased significantly ( False Discovery Rate q-value < 0.05 ) . Conclusions / Significance The 8-week consumption of fatty fish  decreased lipids which are potential mediators of lipid-induced insulin resistance and inflammation , and may be related to the protective effects of fatty fish on the progression of atherosclerotic vascular diseases or insulin resistance .
