ASN Journals See Increases in Impact Factors The 2018 Journal Citation Reports® by Clarivate Analytics have been released, and ASN Journals continue to lead in the Nutrition & Dietetics journal category with over 100,000 citations! All of ASN’s journals indexed in Web of Science saw increases in their Impact Factor. Both Advances in Nutrition and The Journal of Nutrition earned the highest Impact Factor ever, increasing to  7.240 and 4.416 respectively, keeping their place alongside AJCN as top-ranked journals in nutrition and dietetics. We look forward to announcing an Impact Factor for ASN's newest journal,  Current Developments in Nutrition , after it reaches the 3-year minimum needed in order to obtain an Impact Factor. Please contact publications@nutrition.org if you have any questions.

Health & Nutrition Policy Updates ASN sent a letter to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding the proposed closure of the Metabolic Clinical Research Unit (MCRU) of the NIH Clinical Center, and the relocation of MCRU functions to other areas in the Clinical Center. ASN encouraged the NIH to allow the MCRU to continue to operate in its current state to ensure critically important nutrition research that cannot be adequately conducted elsewhere is maintained and supported by the NIH. View the latest ASN Health and Nutrition Policy Newsletter for recent policy-related information.

ASN Journal Highlights

Current Issue The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition  (AJCN) June 2019, 109(6) Featured Articles: Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) is a novel adipokine, the expression of which is a hallmark of healthy AT and is upregulated by calorie restriction. Adipose tissue apoM deserves further investigation as a potential biomarker of risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. V, Berend S, Siklova M, Caspar-Bauguil S, Carayol J. Apolipoprotein M: a novel adipokine decreasing with obesity and upregulated by calorie restriction. Amer J Clin Nutr 2019;109(6):1499-1510. Blueberries should be included in dietary strategies to reduce individual and population CVD risk. Despite insulin resistance remaining unchanged, the researchers show the first sustained improvements in vascular function, lipid status, and underlying NO bioactivity following 1 cup blueberries/d. Curtis PJ, van der Velpen V, Berends L, Jennings A, Feelisch M, Umpleby AM, Evans M, Fernandez BO, Meiss MS, Minnion M, Potter J, Minihane AM, Kay CD, Rimm EB, Cassidy A. Blueberries improve biomarkers of cardiometabolic function in participants with metabolic syndrome—results from a 6-month, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Amer J Clin Nutr 2019;109(6):1535-45.

Current Issue The Journal of Nutrition  (JN) June 2019, 149(6) Editor's Choice Articles: Maternal diet carbohydrate quality does not impact birth outcomes or childhood obesity at 5 years. Researchers report on the results of their study conducted using individuals enrolled in the Lifeways prospective cohort study. Chen L-W, Navarro P, Murrin CM, Mehegan J, Kelleher CC, Phillips CM. Maternal dietary glycemic and insulinemic indixes are not associated with birth outcomes or childhood adiposity at 5 years of age in an Irish cohort study. J Nutr 2019;149(6): 1037-46. Healthy eating patterns could contribute to reductions in premature deaths worldwide. Researchers conducted a study in which they estimated dietary quality using the Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) among people living in 190 countries/territories. Wang DD, Li Y, Afshin A, Springmann M, Mozaffarian D, Stampfer MJ, Hu FB, Murray CJL, Willett WC. Global improvement in dietary quality could lead to substantial reduction in premature death. J Nutr 2019;149(6):1065-74. Relationships among milk, oral and fecal microbiomes of mothers and infants in the first 6 months after birth. Researchers report the results of a study involving 21 dyads in which 9 samples were collected between 2 days and 6 months of age. Williams JE, Carrothers JM, Lackey KA, Beatty NF, Brooker SL, Peterson HK, Steinkamp KM, York MA, Shafii B, Price WJ, McGuire MA, McGuire MK. Strong multivariate relations exist among milk, oral, and fecal microbiomes in mother-infant dyads during the first six months postpartum. J Nutr 2019;149(6)902-914. Greer FR. Origins of the human milk microbiome: A complex issue. J Nutr 2019;149(6)887-89.

Current Issue Advances in Nutrition  (AN) May 2019, 10(3) Featured Articles: Ehsan Ghaedi et al. believe that the Paleo diet may improve risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, including lowering weight and blood pressure. The authors, however, note “we have insufficient evidence to make solid conclusions regarding the efficacy of a Paleo diet on improving cardiovascular risk factors, mostly owing to a lack of qualified randomized controlled trials.” Studies show that following cancer prevention dietary guidelines may reduce the risk of some cancers by 30% or more. The problem is most people do not follow them. Katie M. Di Sebastiano et al. set forth examples of effective and ineffective knowledge translation of diet and nutrition evidence, providing recommendations to better communicate and instill dietary guidelines to prevent cancer.

Current Issue Current Developments in Nutrition  (CDN) June 2019, 3(6) Featured Article: Chronic inflammation is thought to be a major characteristic of aging, which may increase the need for substrates, specifically protein, to support anti-inflammatory processes. Adela Hruby et al. set out to assess the associations between dietary protein and changes in biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress over the long term in a community-dwelling population. Their study population consisted of 2,061 participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. Upon analyzing the results of their study, the authors concluded that "dietary protein, particularly from plant sources, may be associated with beneficial changes in the inflammatory burden in aging populations."
