Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of earthquakes on the nutritional status and infection rates of children in the early stages of post-earthquake recovery. Material and Methods: Following the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, 80 out of 504 patients who presented to the pediatric examination tent in Hatay province were included in the study. Reasons for patient visits and weight loss compared to pre-earthquake measurements were examined. Results: A total of 80 patients were examined across three different age groups [1 month-5 years (29 patients), 5-10 years (34 patients), and 10-18 years (17 patients)]. In all three age groups, a statistically significant decline was observed in body weights, weight percentiles, and age-specific standard deviations when compared to their pre-earthquake measurements (p<0.001). Besides, frequently occurring illnesses were respiratory tract infections (51.25%) and acute gastroenteritis (38.75%). Conclusion: Ensuring appropriate and adequate nutrition for children in the aftermath of a disaster is of critical importance for sustaining normal growth and preventing of diseases. Therefore, emergency plans should include expert pediatricians and prioritize children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Şivlilik, her yıl Konya il merkezinde Regaib Kandilinin gündüzünde kutlanan ve nerdeyse tüm Konya’nın iştirak ettiği önemli bir gelenektir. İslam dinine göre kutsal kabul edilen ve Ramazan ayının da içerisinde olduğu üç ayların başlamasının kutlanmasına dayanan bu geleneğin merkezinde kuşkusuz çocuklar bulunmaktadır. Çocuklar sabahın erken saatlerinde evleri dolaşmaya başlayarak kapılarını çaldığı insanların hem Regaib Kandillerini kutlarlar hem de ev sahiplerinin verdiği ikramlıkları alırlar. Çocuklara verilen şivlilik ikramlıkları, geçmişten günümüze birtakım değişimler yaşamıştır. Geçmiş dönemlerde endüstriyel ikramlık ürünlerin çok sınırlı olmasına bağlı olarak şivlilik ikramlıkları, genellikle leblebi, ceviz, kuru üzüm, iğde, incir gibi ürünlerden oluşmaktaydı. Ancak günümüzde şivlilik ürünlerinin neredeyse tamamı çikolata, kek, bisküvi ve şekerleme gibi hazır ve ambalajlı gıdalardan oluşmaktadır. Kuşkusuz bu değişim, çocuklarda birçok sağlık riskini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışma şivlilik tüketimi ve çocuk sağlığı ilişkisini çeşitli boyutlardan ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda Konya merkez ilçelerinde 26 katılımcının yer aldığı nitel bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Fenomenolojik bir yaklaşımla gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada, yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine mülakat tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda katılımcılara, şivlilik günü çocukların topladığı gıdaların sağlıklılığı, çocukların bu gıdaları tüketmesinde ebeveyn müdahalesi, bu gıdaların çocuklarda oluşturabileceği sağlık riskleri konusunda ebeveynlerin bilinçlilik ve farkındalık düzeyleri hakkında sorular yöneltilmiştir. Görüşmeler MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2022 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bulguların analizinde dört temaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu temalar; çocuk bayramı olarak şivlilik, geçmişten bugüne şivlilik çantası (torbası) ve sağlık, şivlilik ürünlerinin sağlığa ve hastalığa etkisi ve şivlilik tüketiminin düzenlenmesinde ebeveyn farkındalığı şeklindedir.

Objective: Work performed outside of standard working hours is considered shift work. Shift work is beneficial to organizations, but individuals working in these organizations are at risk of various health problems, especially sleep disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between sleep, quality of life, and nutritional status of shift and non-shift workers. Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty-four male personnel between the age 18-65 years were included in the study. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index and short form-36 quality of life assessment scale were used to assess the participants. In addition, demographic characteristics, 3-day food consumption records, and anthropometric measurements were also recorded and an evaluation was made with these data. Results: Smoking rate was higher in the shift working group (64.6%, p=0.002) while the education level was higher (p=0.001) in non-shift workers. There was no difference between the groups regarding sleep quality (p>0.05). Energy, carbohydrate, and protein consumption was higher in the shift working group (p<0.001). Non-shift workers consumed more saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids and fat (p<0.001). There was no difference between the cholesterol consumption between the groups but fiber consumption was higher for shift workers (p<0.05). Conclusion: No difference was found between the groups in terms of sleep and quality of life and anthropometric measurements. It was determined that the shift workers consumed more energy, carbohydrates, and some micronutrients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

People switch to vegetarian or vegan diets for ethical, ecological, religious or healthbased motivations. There are many variations of the vegetarian diet. However, although these diet types have different limits, it is seen that animal food consumption is limited as a common point, and it is completely abolished in some nutrition types. Vegetarian and vegan individuals, whose numbers are increasing day by day, can be exposed to various negative situations, especially by individuals who do not follow this diet. There are behavioral, biological, environmental, genetic or psychological risk factors. Experiencing situations such as mobbing, threats, pressure, insults, violence or future anxiety can cause the psychology of the individual to be negatively affected, and as a result, various risk factors such as stress and depression may occur. There are many studies on vegetarian and vegan individuals in the literature. However, it has been observed that the psychosocial risks experienced by individuals who adopt a vegan lifestyle are limited in number. The aim of the study is to reveal the psychosocial risk factors experienced by individuals who adopt a vegan lifestyle. The research is a qualitative study, and the research data were accessed in the light of the information obtained from vegan and vegetarian individual through semi-structured interview method. Within the scope of the study, it was determined that the participants most frequently faced the risk factors of marginalization in the individual category, family pressure in the family category and attrition/burnout in the environmental category.

Wasting and overeating, which means excessive extravagance and overconsumption of the blessings one has, are two important issues that have almost reached the level of disease today. It is seen that the Prophet made some recommendations that would lead to blessing in eating and drinking behaviors. The aim of this study is to offer suggestions for perceiving the Prophet's recommendations in this regard as measures that can prevent these two diseases. Today, while some people suffer from overeating and the diseases caused by it, others struggle with hunger and the diseases caused by hunger. Moreover, there are thousands of people who are not even aware of such an imbalance. Understanding that the Prophet's recommendations, which he said would lead to abundance in eating and drinking behaviors and turn eating and drinking into an act of worship, are related to the spiritual nourishment and saturation of the person will help prevent overeating and waste, which are important behavioral disorders. This is because a person needs to feed not only his body but also his soul and mind. Providing this spiritual saturation will contribute to overcoming the psychosocial problems that today's people complain about and to reduce the amount and limit of eating. In the narration that states that the believer eats with one stomach and the disbeliever with seven stomachs, it is reported that the believers eat less, but they are satiated more easily and quickly. Although the majority of hadith scholars interpret this as a metaphor, in our opinion, this news is an indication that a person's spiritual state is related to his eating habits.

Nutrition is an essential behavior that all living things, especially humans, need to grow, develop, be healthy and productive. While other living creatures show this behavior in order to survive and continue their generation, humans, as an intelligent being, have developed a selective eating habit in order to live a healthy life. Because scientific studies have shown that the nutrients consumed directly shape the chemical structure of the brain. It is stated by scientists that the intestines have a functional potential in the body like the second brain. Foods affect behavior and cognitive functions by providing information flow in nerve cells. Studies in the field of medicine have determined that the food consumed affects not only the physical health of people, but also their mental health and personality structure. For example, it is known to everyone that sadness causes ulcer disease. The Religion of Islam, which makes provisions for all areas of life, from worship to morality, from commercial life to social order, has also given guidance on how nutrition should be. There are explanations and provisions in the verses and hadiths about nutrition culture, the effects of foods on personality, foods that are recommended and prohibited to be eaten, consumption patterns, table manners, and the positive and negative effects of foods on health. Both scientists and Islamic scholars give warnings and recommendations regarding the physiological, psychological and spiritual effects of nutrition styles. In order to receive a productive education, a person must be in good mental, physical and spiritual health. When health is impaired, working, worshiping and even having fun are not enjoyable. This situation is important in terms of both general education and religious education. One of the important conditions for having a fit mind and body is proper and halal nutrition. Eating haram and questionable foods not only causes physical harm, but also has moral harm. Diseases occur not only in the body but also in the personality and soul of a person who makes a habit of eating ways that are not suitable for his nature. According to the Quran and Sunnah, eating habits directly affect many factors in human life. It has been determined that there are strong connections between people's frequency of eating and drinking and the changes in their emotions and thoughts. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of nutrition on human character from a gastronomic perspective in the light of scientific and religious data. As a method, first of all, the general framework of the Islamic religion's perspective on the subject is given. Then, the scientific literature of psychology and medicine on this subject was examined. Finally, the relationship between food and morality, both in various narrations and in the views of some Islamic scholars, has been tried to be evaluated with scientific data. This study focuses on how nutrition styles negatively affect people's characters and educational activities. In the article, the consequences of unhealthy and non-halal nutrition in terms of religious education are discussed. The subject was limited to nutrition, and the negative effects of other haram actions were not mentioned. Document review and content analysis methods were used in the research.

The aim of this descriptive study is to evaluate how the Covİd-19 pandemic has affected exercise, nutritional behaviors, and level of perceived stress in adults. 1037 people, 354 men and 683 women living in different regions in Turkey were reached. Quota sampling method was used. A questionnaire covering changes in socio-demographic information, dietary behaviors, and exercise status was used. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used. Data were collected by using the online survey method. The proportion of those who didn't exercise regularly during the quarantine period increased at a statistically significant level. The majority of the participants expressed that they made changes in their nutritional behaviors to protect themselves against the coronavirus. 48.7% of them stated that their desire to eat intensified during the quarantine period due to boredom and stress. Perceived Stress Scale mean score was higher in female participants compared to their male counterparts and this difference was statistically significant. If we as a society learn ways to cope with stress, we can prevent malnutrition behaviors that may occur due to changing emotional states. By providing information on special nutrition recommendations and home exercise practices in pandemics such as Covid-19; Energy intake can be balanced and people can be healthier.

This study has been carried out to compare the amounts of phenolic compounds in fresh and sun dried fruit samples of different apricot varieties. For this purpose, fruit samples were taken from trees belonging to 'Çataloğlu', 'Çöloğlu', 'Hacıhaliloğlu' and 'Kabaaşı' cultivars, some of them were kept at -25°C and some were dried directly in the sun. The p-coumaric acid, epicatechin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and rutin (µg/g dry matter) contents in the obtained fruit samples were determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-DAD detector. Among the phenolic compounds examined, the highest amounts were detected for rutin. Apricot varieties showed statistically significant differences in the phenolic compounds examined, and the highest rutin value was found in the 'Kabaaşı' cultivar with 88.7 µg/g dry matter while the lowest value was determined in the 'Çataloğlu' cultivar with 52.1 µg/g dry matter. In general, fresh fruit samples showed higher amounts, and a loss of phenolic compounds was observed in dried fruits of all varieties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Fibromyalgia syndrome is a multifactorial health problem that often develops with widespread pain in the skeletal and muscular systems. It is thought that nutrition, diet therapy, and the treatment methods used for the disease may be adequate. This study aims to evaluate the food consumption and anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, body mass index) of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Material and Method: This study was conducted with 100 female individuals with a mean age of 33.7±6.4 years, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, who applied to the Van Training and Research Hospital, Physical Therapy and Rheumatology Department Polyclinics. A questionnaire form (containing data on socio-demographic information, dietary habits, and anthropometric measurements) was applied to the participants who accepted the study using the researcher's face-to-face interview technique. Results: While the majority of the participants were housewives (72%), it was determined that 93% of the participants had fatigue and muscle pain, and 91% had sleep disorders. Body mass index (BMI) was 25.0-29.9 kg/m² in 59% of the participants and 30.0-39.9 kg/m² in 8%. It was determined that there was a significant difference between the BMIs of the individuals with the symptoms of fibromyalgia depression (p<0.001), anxiety (p<0.001), and fatigue (p=0.011). Conclusion: To reduce the disease's symptoms and increase the quality of life during the fibromyalgia treatment phase, individuals should be directed to dietitians, and anthropometric measurements should be considered when evaluating their nutritional status.

Bu araştırmanın amacı farklı marinasyon yöntemlerinin dana etinin organoleptik özellikleri üzerine etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul ilinde yerleşik bir marketten satın alınan 2 yaşı geçmemiş dana eti kullanılmıştır. Antrikot olarak bilinen bölgeden elde edilen etler, soğan suyu, ananas suyu ve süt içinde 4°C’de 6 saat marine edilmiştir. Marine edilmiş parçalar 10 dk ortam sıcaklığında bekletilerek, yüzey sıcaklığı 174°C olan ızgarada merkez sıcaklığı 55°C olana kadar ızgara tekniğiyle pişirilmiştir. Örneklerde, pişirme öncesi (marinasyon öncesi ve sonrası) ve pişirme sonrası; pH, ağırlık kayıpları ile su aktivitesi değerleri ölçümü yapılmıştır. Altı saat süren işlemde, kontrol örneğine göre soğan ve ananas sıvısı ile marine edilen etlerde pH düşüşü yaşanırken, süt sıvısı ile marine edilen etlerde pH artışı gözlemlenmiştir. Üç farklı marinat sıvısı ile marinasyon işlemi yapılmış etin ortalama duyusal analiz puanları süt marinatı için %23,9±1,7; soğan marinatı için %30,7±2,7; ananas marinatı için %15,5±4,5 bulunmuştur (f=92.1077; p=0,0001). Yapılan analizler sonucunda dana antrikot etinin ızgara pişirme işleminde minimum ağırlık kaybı ve maksimum nem aktivitesi açısından ve duyusal analiz sonuçlarının olumlu olması yönünden süt ile marine edilmesinin daha uygun olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Food, which has been handled from many aspects such as production, consumption, transportation, presentation and sanctity since the beginning of humanity, is one of the cultural elements imposed on a person by the society he/she was born into. The vital importance of food as a cultural element has determined the various turning points in human history. Accordingly, all the things that consist of the transformation of humans from consuming seafood as their primary food to hunter-gatherer and the transition from huntergatherer to herding/stockbreeding and agriculture point to the human effort to survive in the provision of food. The planned hunting has compelled people to move as a community. Respectively the use of fire, the domestication of animals and the emergence of agriculture have led to the development of various religious beliefs and practices, lighting, eating meat by cooking, shepherd/feeder revolution, the emergence of the order of society, writing, urbanization and social classes. When we consider these developments as a break, each of these breaks directly affected both the physical evolution of human beings and their social organizations. It is possible to say that the eating habits for survival lose their vitality after a point. It is also possible to collect various information about the place of food in cultural history from historical documents (cookbooks, registries etc.), archeological excavations and the studies prepared by the anthropologists which have examined indigenous communities. In addition to these, the texts that have survived from the past to the present and are regarded in the history of literature today also contain information about food cultures. Since such works are a mirror of the society in which they emerged, they give information about the structure of society, whether they are fed from oral sources or written ones. In this study, the literary works of Dede Korkut (DK) and Kutadgu Bilig (KB) will be evaluated through food culture. The reason for choosing these two literary works is that they represent two different social organization models of Turkish culture. When DK and KB are handled literarily, they differ in terms of their types, contents, styles, the formation of works and most importantly transmission medias. These differences in works are a result of their different models of social organization. DK is a nomadic society and KB is a mirror of a state-based society. What is remarkable here is that these two different forms of social organization continued to exist among the Turks for a long time. In addition to the state structures such as the Karakhanid State in Central Asia, where settled order, urbanization and social stratification were observed due to agricultural production, it is seen that there were nomadic communities such as the Oghuzes at about the same time. It is understood, not only by the texts associated with the discipline of history, but also through the written sources evaluated in terms of both language and literary characteristics within the history of literature today, that Turkish history cannot be positioned on the same developmental and homogeneous evolution model. In this sense, it is possible to say that the foods in the texts, the tables set and the meals that are eaten or excluded can be evaluated together with their repetitive and changing meanings within their historical social organization contexts. Through the texts mentioned in the study, it will be focused on what shapes the food culture, how eating organizes the network of social relations and how it determines the authoritarian structure and social status both in the nomadic lifestyle and in the settled social order.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between school children's sleep problems and their nutrition habits and anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 484 children aged 7-14 years attending three primary schools and three secondary schools in the city center of Muğla province. Data were collected using the child data form and the child sleeping habit questionnaire. The obtained results were analyzed using Student's t-test, chi-square test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: It was determined that 72.9% of the children participating in this study had sleep problems, among which 83% of the underweight and normal weight children and 17% of the overweight and obese children had sleep problems. It was determined that children who ate or drank drinks in the last two hours before going to sleep had more sleep problems (p<0.05). There was a low level of positive and significant correlation between body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration and parasomnia, waist circumference and sleep duration, and neck circumference and sleep duration and parasomnia. Conclusion: In this study, no difference was found between the sleep problems of children who consumed healthy or unhealthy food, whereas those who ate close to sleep or consumed liquid had more sleep problems. While children's BMI, waist circumference and neck circumference increased, their sleep duration also increased. More parasomnia was observed in children with higher BMI and neck circumference.

This article examines the role of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in diagnosing complicated acute appendicitis (AA). The study analyzed the medical records of 187 patients with AA and found that CAR levels were higher in the complicated AA group, but neither CAR nor PNI were independent predictors of complicated AA. The article also discusses other diagnostic tools and factors that have been studied in relation to complicated AA, but no significant relationships were found. The study has limitations and further research is needed to determine the clinical significance of CAR and PNI in diagnosing complicated AA. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the feeding practices of parents of preschool children and the eating behaviors of children. Material and Methods: The parents who had 2 to 6 years of age children without chronic disease and had completed the transition to supplementary foods were included (n=315). Family demographic, socioeconomic information and children's anthropometric measurements were recorded. The parents completed the "Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ)", and "Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ)". Results: The mean age of the children participating were 46±14.63 months and 46.7% (147/315) of the children were girls. As parents' perceived responsibility for feeding increased, the children's food responsiveness tended to decrease. In parents who had concerns about their child's weight, their children's eating behavior was associated with higher food responsiveness and enjoyment of food and lower satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating, and emotional undereating. Conclusion: Parents' healthy eating attitudes can be part of a process that encourages children to model healthy eating behaviors. 'Satiety responsiveness', 'slowness in eating', and 'emotional under-eating behaviors were observed more frequently with the attitude of restriction and pressure for eating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main parameters of the successful conclusion of a war is the establishment of an effective organizational network. Organization is a way of managing the whole in a controlled way by bringing together different parts. This intricate structure covers the process from the army’s departure from Istanbul to its return. There are many situations in this organization network, such as feeding the army, supplying beast of burden and sea vehicles, arranging roads and bridges, preparing materials needed by the army at range points, supplying ammunition, equal sharing of campaign financing in a controlled manner and not burdening the treasury. On the other hand, another factor that covers the organizational network is the health status of the soldier participating in the campaign. For this purpose, it was necessary to provide the physicians, surgeons, doctors, and their assistants to participate in the campaign and make them ready for war by making up for their deficiencies (pharmaceutical materials, tents, kitchen tools, and beasts of burden). Like other factors, preparations in the health field are among the factors that affect the war’s outcome. This research is conducted based on this information and will focus on how the health organization in the Ottoman army was carried out in the 18th century. Moreover, it will discuss who the medical personnel who participated in the war were, how their needs were met, what materials were provided, what the medicines were, and which diseases these medicines were used to treat.

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status, depression and fatigue status of patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). The study was carried out on 30 MS patients (Patient Group: PG) and a control group consisting of 30 healthy volunteers with similar characteristics (Control Group: CG). It was found that the relationship between depression and fatigue among MS patients was positive (p<0.05). The mean score of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was 5.65±1.57 in PG patients and 3.10±0.97 in CG patients. The fatigue level of the patients was significantly higher than that of the controls (p<0.05). A negative correlation was found between vitamin B12 intake and the scores of the FSS and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in patients with PG (p<0.05). The study showed that fatigue and depression in MS patients were closely related their dietary habits. Since low serum B12 levels may increase the risk of fatigue and depression, attention should be paid to vitamin B12 intake. In order to improve the quality of life of MS patients, their nutrition should be closely monitored and a balanced and healthy nutrition plan appropriate to their needs should be implemented.

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nutrition and exercise counseling through e-health mobile applications on the body composition and certain blood parameters of individuals. The study was conducted on 12 sedentary female individuals within the age range of 41.25±6.95 years without any chronic diseases. An 8-week intervention period was planned and implemented. The participants' physical activity level was assessed by using a physical activity detection form. The participants received diet and exercise program support through the e-health mobile application. The participants' anthropometric measurements, body weight, and certain biochemical parameters were analyzed. The presence of any differences before and after exercise and nutrition support was determined using the paired t-test for withingroup analysis. In this study, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Upon examination of the findings of the study, statistically significant changes were observed in the participants' body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio measurements (p<0.05). On average, there was a decrease of 4.64±1.03 kg in body weight, and a 6.88% reduction in body weight was observed. A significant decrease was observed in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin levels (p<0.05), while no significant differences were found in the liver enzymes AST and ALT (p>0.05). When examining the blood lipid profile, significant differences were determined in triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels (p<0.05), but no significant differences were found in LDL-C and HDL-C values (p>0.05). There were no significant differences in serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and chloride) (p>0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this case report, the 6-month telenutrition counseling process of a 13-year-old male patient diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 was discussed. Severe malnutrition was observed in the patient, who used a wheelchair and was fed orally. As a result of examining all the findings, a 6-month telenutrition counseling process was started with a diet containing 50 kcal/kg of energy and 1.85 g/kg of protein per day. At the end of the process, the patient’s body weight increased from 30.5 kg to 35 kg, the body mass index increased from 13.6 kg/m2 to 15.6 kg/m2, and the body mass index Z-score value for age increased from -3.04 to -1.75. The family expressed satisfaction with the counseling process. Patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy require medical nutritional therapy counseling. Telenutrition counseling is considered beneficial in reaching patients and ensuring the treatment process.

Rhythmically-regulated feeding behavior is in harmony with physiologic and metabolic activities in mammals. This rhythmic regulation is orchestrated by Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN). However, it is not entirely clear how the SCN, which generates endogenous (internal) rhythms, influences body weight and serum leptin profile with activity rhythms in relation to feeding timing. In this study, animals in long photoperiod (14L:10D) were divided into two groups as control (sham-SCNx) and SCN lesions (SCNx). Then, these groups were split into four separate subgroups: a) ad libitum feeding; b) feeding only during the dark phase; c) feeding only during the light phase; and d) feeding during a specific period of the day (11:00-14:00 h). Locomotor activity and leptin hormone changes were observed in animals fed in cages attached to activity wheels for one month. Under the conditions of food restriction, the locomotor activities of the groups with SCNx and sham-SCNx demonstrated a phase shift toward the time of feeding. Serum leptin level did not change with feeding conditions but decreased in lesioned groups (SCNx). In conclusion, nutritional restriction caused phase shifts in activity rhythms and it was found that the SCN in gerbils was in charge of these rhythmic changes in the presence and absence of nutrients.

Abstract Nesfatin-1 is a recently discovered adipocytokine that is believed to regulate food intake and is linked to body mass index. While its precise mechanism of action remains unclear, a deeper understanding of how nesfatin-1 interacts with metabolic diseases, inflammation, and insulin resistance could have significant implications for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, including cardiovascular disease. Smoking is a complex issue with roots in social, cultural, and economic factors that can contribute to nicotine addiction. Additionally, nicotine's ability to stimulate the mind and promote feelings of relaxation can create a positive feedback loop that makes it difficult to quit. Unfortunately, there is limited research on the effects of smoking on Nesfatin-1 levels. However, one study found that women who smoke tend to have lower levels of Nesfatin-1. To build on this finding, the present study aims to further investigate nesfatin-1 levels in both smokers and non-smokers. A total of 70 participants, smokers (n=35) and non-smokers (n=35), were included in the study. The participant's gender, age, height and weight, body mass index, and nesfatin-1 levels were measured and compared. The SPSS 23.0 program was used to evaluate the data statistically. Data were evaluated with a t-test. The error level was taken as 0.05. Serum Nesfatin-1 levels were significantly higher in smokers (13.73± 3.11) than in non-smokers (8.63 ± 0.91) (t=- 9.315, p<0.01). No significant difference was found between other parameters in the smoker and non-smoker groups. The study has shown that individuals who smoke display higher levels of Nesfatin-1 compared to non-smokers, indicating a correlation between smoking and Nesfatin-1. However, further investigation is required to understand the mechanism behind this increase. It is hoped that continued research will unveil the potential of Nesfatin-1 in treating human obesity.
