Creator:: Angelo, Giana, Drake, Victoria J., and Frei, Balz
Abstract:: We reviewed recent scientific evidence regarding the effects of MVM [multivitamin/mineral] supplements on risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and age-related eye diseases. Data from both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational, prospective cohort studies were examined. The majority of scientific studies investigating the use of MVM supplements...

Creator:: Kaiser, Matthew Carl, Rajendran, Praveen, Dashwood, Mohaiza W., Levine, Mark A., Michels, Alexander, Frei, Balz, and Dashwood, Roderick H.
Abstract:: Aim: There is growing interest in pharmacologic ascorbate (Asc) and its therapeutic properties (Levine et al. Adv Nutr 2011;2:78). W e examined cell viability, histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression, and related protein modifications in cancer versus non- cancer colon epithelial cells following exposure to Asc. Methods: MTT assays were conducted in...

Creator:: Zhang, Wei-Jian and Frei, Balz
Abstract:: In this study we investigated the role of astragaloside IV (AS-IV), one of the major active constituents purified from the Chinese medicinal herb Astragalus membranaceus, in LPS-induced acute inflammatory responses in mice in vivo and examined possible underlying mechanisms. Mice were assigned to four groups: vehicle-treated control animals; AS-IV-treated animals...

Abstract:: The effect of three different weed management strategies, non-weeding, hand weeding, and weed mat, were examined on physicochemical, sugar profile, and antioxidant properties of two cultivars of blackberry (Rubus spp), ’Marion’ and ’Black Diamond’ harvested at three time intervals during the 2012 season. Sensory analysis on flavor intensity of six...

Abstract:: Inhibiting pancreatic lipase activity is an effective means of reducing fat absorption, which may have a role in combating obesity by limiting energy intake. The use of pharmaceutical lipase inhibitors has been limited due to the prevalence of undesirable side effects. Polyphenols represent an alternative strategy to inhibit digestive enzymes...

Creator:: Michels, Alexander J. and Frei, Balz
Abstract:: Research progress to understand the role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in human health has been slow in coming. This is predominantly the result of several flawed approaches to study design, often lacking a full appreciation of the redox chemistry and biology of ascorbic acid. In this review, we summarize...

Creator:: Frei, Balz, Birlouez-Aragon, Ines, and Lykkesfeldt, Jens
Abstract:: The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin C has traditionally been based on the prevention of the vitamin C deficiency disease, scurvy. While higher intakes of vitamin C may exert additional health benefits, the limited Phase III randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of vitamin C supplementation have not found consistent benefit...
