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-...
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...
This investigation was designed to add to present understanding
of vitamin B-6 (B6) metabolism during exercise. Ten women, 5
aerobically trained and 5 untrained, were fed 4 controlled diets: a
moderate carbohydrate (49%) (MCHO) for 2 weeks, a high carbohydrate
(63%) (HCHO) for one week, MCH0+B6 for 2 weeks, and...
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the level of nutrition
knowledge and degree of competitiveness in high school wrestlers and their coaches
and to look at the differences between groups. Twelve schools participated in the study
and a total of 180 wrestlers and 29 coaches (12 head...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness
of a one-hour in-service nutrition education
workshop for high school coaches in Corvallis, Eugene and
Salem, Oregon. The objectives were to determine: 1. if
the workshop can make positive changes in nutrition knowledge;
2. which type of participant benefits most...
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...
The effect of vitamin B-6 (B-6) status on plasma fatty acids (FA) levels and lipid
metabolism was investigated in this metabolic study. Eight female subjects were fed for 28
days. For the first 7 days, they were fed a constant diet containing 2.10 mg of B-6. For the
rest of...
The study was designed to indirectly understand muscle
glycogen utilization during prolonged exercise when either
glucose, fructose, or water is ingested. Eight trained
adult males exercised on a cycle ergometer at 58±7% of V02
max for 2 h on 2-4 occasions. At 0 minutes of exercise and
at 30-minute intervals...
