Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examined the impact of a gluten-free diet on nutritional status and inflammation markers in adult celiac patients compared to a control group. Twenty-six celiac patients and 26 healthy individuals participated. Interviews, dietary records, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples were collected. After six weeks, celiac patients showed improved adherence to the gluten-free diet and increased quality of life scores. While initial micronutrient intake was lower in celiac patients, it improved over the study period. However, there were no significant changes in inflammation markers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aimed to examine the effects of a gluten-free diet on the nutritional status, anthropometric measurements, and serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-15 (IL-15) in adult celiac patients, comparing them with a control group. A total of 26 celiac patients aged 18-64 years and 26 healthy individuals as the control group were included. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to determine participants\' general characteristics, dietary habits, and physical activity status. Additionally, a retrospective 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire were administered to assess dietary intake. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were collected during the interviews. Celiac patients received education about the gluten-free diet, and follow-up assessments were conducted six weeks later. At the beginning, 53.8% of celiac patients reported always/mostly adhering to the gluten-free diet, which increased to 100.0% after six weeks. The total quality of life scores significantly increased in celiac patients after six weeks. Initial serum IL-15 levels were similar between celiac and control groups, whereas serum IFN-γ levels were significantly higher in celiac patients compared to the control group.
