This investigation was undertaken to obtain information on the
dietary intake of Oregon preschool children and to determine the
effect of certain socio-environmental variables on the nutrient intake
of these children. Three hundred boys and girls who were attending
Well Child or Multiphasic Screening Clinics in 11 counties participated
in...
The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on lymphocyte
responsiveness was investigated in 15 elderly volunteers (aged
65-81 years) by measuring lymphocyte proliferation to T and B cell
mitogens, lymphocyte subpopulations with monoclonal antibodies
(T3, T4, T8) and plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration
at pre-supplementation and after 1 and 2 months...
The nutrient intake of forty-five participants in
the Title IIIc Elderly Nutrition Program in rural
Oregon was assessed through 7-day dietary records. The
1980 Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) were used to
assess adequacy of intake. There were no
statistically significant differences between the 7-
day nutrient intakes of those who...
The bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from four selected
foods was investigated in five men, aged 22 to 25 years,
who were receiving a pyridoxine supplement. The subjects
received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin B-6
throughout this five-week study, except on Saturdays and
Sundays when they ate their...
Riboflavin status was determined in 16 Oriental
males and females who were residing off the Oregon State
University campus. Before and after these subjects had
received 10 mg of riboflavin daily for 7 days, we measured
erythrocyte glutathione reductase (EGR) activity with and
without FAD added in vitro and erythrocyte...
Two studies which were similar in protocol were conducted.
Following a preliminary baseline period of 7 days, in which the
subjects consumed their self-chosen diets, they received 3 eggs daily
for 4 weeks. Depending upon the changes in plasma cholesterol in
response to 3 eggs daily, the subjects in studies...
The effect of dietary glycosylated vitamin B-6 on the bioavailability
of vitamin B-6 was determined in 4 women. A 44-d metabolic-balance diet
study was divided into a preliminary 8-d adjustment period followed by
two 18-d experimental periods. The subjects were divided into two groups
in a crossover design to compare...
