There were two main purposes to this study. The first was to determine the vitamin B-6 and pyridoxine β-glucoside content of selected foods commonly consumed in Malawi. The second was to examine the effect of preparation procedures of foods in Malawi on the content of vitamin B-6 and pyridoxine β-...
The purposes of the research presented in this thesis were
to: (l) assess the nutritional status of vegetarian and nonvegetarian
Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), non-SDA non-vegetarians,
and non-vegetarian hormone dependent cancer subjects; (2) determine
the relationship of various blood and urinary biochemical
parameters to dietary intake; (3) determine hormonal status in...
The effect of a 9—month nutrition education and walking program on
energy need, body composition, nutrient intake, nutritional status,
aerobic fitness, and health risk factors was determined in 7 women with
childhood—onset obesity (CO) and 8 women with adult—onset obesity (AO).
Data were collected before and after the 9—month program...
The status of vitamin B-6 (B6) nutriture of nine
persons (4F;5M) with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(IDDM), nine persons (5F;4M) with non-insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and 18 control individuals
(9F;9M) was evaluated, using biochemical and dietary
indicators of B6 status. The biochemical indices employed
were plasma concentration of pyridoxal...
This investigation consisted of two parts: A. stability, B.
bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in wheat. Three variables; whole wheat
flour (WHW), white flour (W) and W enriched with vitamin B₆ (WB₆)
were tested.
Stability of vitamin B₆ during bread making and storage of
bread and flour was determined. Bread was...
The present study was designed to investigate the
effects of exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism. Four groups
of subjects (intermittent, college, untrained, and high school)
consisting of nineteen male and two female individuals, participated
in the study. The subjects exercised either on a
bicycle ergometer, by running three 1500 meter...
Four studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of varying levels of vitamin
B-6 (B6), protein and pyridoxine glucoside (PNG) on B6 status and requirements of
women. In the first two studies, women were fed a constant protein diet and vitamin
B-6 intakes of 0.84 to 2.39 mg/d during 10-...
Recent studies in men have shown plasma levels of vitamin B-6
and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B-6, to
increase with exercise. It was hypothesized that muscle glycogen
phosphorylase might be the source of these increases as this enzyme
has been shown to increase with increasing vitamin...
To investigate the responses of healthy adult women to two
levels of vitamin B-6, a seven week two-part experiment was conducted
with five young adults and eight middle-aged subjects. During the
four unsupplemented weeks, dietary vitamin B-6 was 2.3-2.4 mg/day.
In the final three weeks, the same diet was supplemented...
