Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

Role of ammoniagenesis in the hypocalciuric effect of phosphorus in young men

Creator:: Ding, Wei, 1967-
Abstract:: The present study sought to define a possible role of phosphorus-stimulated ammoniagenesis, previously observed in vitro and in experimental animals, in the hypocalciuric effect of phosphorus in young men. It was hypothesized that titrating some of the hydrogen ions destined for excretion with ammonia would be beneficial to kidney calcium...

The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

Creator:: Yan, Michelle
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

Creator:: Lee, Sangeun
Abstract:: In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...

The role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the retina from light damage

Creator:: Derenick, Rhianna A.
Abstract:: Purpose: The xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula lutea of the retina. It is thought that the two plant pigments may play a role in preventing the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exposure to damaging light plays a role in retinal deterioration and AMD. The...

Supplemental vitamin B-6 and endurance exercise effects on plasma catecholamines of trained male cyclists

Creator:: Young, Jennifer Charity
Abstract:: This study examined the effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation and exhaustive submaximal exercise on plasma catecholamine concentrations, and the relationship between plasma catecholamines and fuel use, heart rate and oxygen consumption. Five trained men (age= 18-35 years; V0₂max=53 ml 0₂/kg/min.) participated in two controlled dietary periods that were identical except...

Fluoride content of foods made with mechanically separated chicken as a potential risk factor for dental fluorosis in infants and children

Creator:: Fein, Noelle J.
Abstract:: Although fluoride is an important trace element in the prevention of dental caries, it has a narrow range between beneficial and toxic effects. Excessive fluoride intake for example can cause dental fluorosis in infants and children whose teeth are still developing. The primary source of this unwanted fluoride has been...

Effect of controlled vitamin B-6 intake and pyridoxine supplementation on B-6 status of smokers

Creator:: Sindihebura-Ruhumba, Pascaline
Abstract:: Previous studies have found that smoking may have a negative effect on vitamin B-6 indices and have demonstrated a possible association between smoking and depressed plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration. Individuals with plasma PLP values below the adequate level of 30 nmoles/L might benefit from consumption of vitamin B-6 supplements, but...

Effects of dietary selenium and fish oil (MaxEPA) on arachidonic acid metabolism and hemostatic function in the rat

Creator:: Song, Jihyun
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the beneficial effects which the consumption of fish oil imparts on hemostatic function can be modified by the level of dietary selenium. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for eight weeks semipurified diets containing 7% corn oil (by weight) or 5.5%...

Effect of dietary fluoride on selenite toxicity in the rat

Creator:: Yu, Qing, 1966-
Abstract:: Two factorial experiments were conducted to determine if high dietary fluoride would inhibit selenite toxicity in rats. In each study, two levels of selenite (0.05 and 5 mg/kg diet) were matched against two levels of fluoride (1 and 150 mg/kg diet) for either 6 or 8 weeks. Fluoride failed to...
