The study included 85 children. The celiac group (n = 53) included children with CD with a long (>18 months, n = 17) or recent (<18 months, n = 36) adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). The control group (n = 32) included healthy children with a significantly lower consumption of UPF compared to the CD group, both expressed as kcal/day (p = 0.043) and as percentage of daily energy intake (p = 0.023). Among children with CD, the group with the lowest consumption of UPF (below the 50% of daily energy intake) had a greater Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence and higher moderate physical activity levels. In addition, CD children with the lowest consumption of UPF had healthier redox (lower soluble superoxide dismutase-1 and 15-F2t-isoprostanes) and inflammatory profiles (lower macrophage inflammatory protein-1 ) compared to the group with the highest consumption of UPF (all, p < 0.05) regardless of the time on a GFD. These findings highlight the importance of a correct monitoring of the GFD. An unbalanced GFD with high consumption of UPF and an unhealthy pattern with less physical activity and worse adherence to MD results in a worse inflammatory profile, which could act as a parallel pathway that could have important consequences on the pathophysiology of the disease.}, organization = {Regional Government of Andalusia, Excellence Research Project P12-AGR-2581}, organization = {University of Granada PP2017-PIP14}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports FPU17/03715}, publisher = {Mdpi}, keywords = {Celiac disease}, keywords = {Ultra-processed foods}, keywords = {Gluten-free diet}, keywords = {Inflammatory signaling}, keywords = {Oxidative stress}, keywords = {Children}, title = {Influence of Ultra-Processed Foods Consumption on Redox Status and Inflammatory Signaling in Young Celiac Patients}, doi = {10.3390/nu13010156}, author = {Nestares Pleguezuelo, María Teresa and De la Flor Alemany, Marta and Bonavita, Antonela and Aparicio García-Molina, Virginia}, }
