Parent intervention to promote vegetable consumption by head start children

Creator:: Arroyo, Ines R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of parent education on increasing parental awareness of vegetable servings needed by preschool children, lowering barriers to increase vegetable consumption in their children's diets, increasing confidence in their ability to increase vegetables in their children's meals, and promoting parent-child interaction...

Plasma B-6 vitamer changes following a 50-km ultramarathon

Creator:: Leonard, Scott W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to measure plasma B-6 vitamers, and other factors which may affect the plasma concentrations of these vitamers under extreme physical conditions. Blood samples were drawn from 8 men and 3 women (43.7 ± 8.6 years) 30 minutes prior to the start of a 50-km...

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...

The effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation on fuel utilization and plasma amino acids during exhaustive endurance exercise in men

Creator:: Virk, Ricky S.
Abstract:: Previous studies suggest that vitamin B-6 supplementation can alter fuel metabolism during exercise and plasma amino acid levels at rest. To examine the effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation on plasma fuel substrates and amino acid levels during exercise, five trained males (age: 29±7; V0₂ max: 54.7±6.2 ml/kg/min) performed two separate...

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...

Vitamin B6 status over time and its relation to symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome

Creator:: Bolli, Andrea M.
Abstract:: Research suggests that, in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), low plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentrations are related to an increased incidence and severity of symptoms associated with CTS. This study was designed to determine the relationship between plasma and red blood cell PLP concentrations and the severity and incidence...

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...

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...

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...
