Thiamin and ascorbic acid content and retention were determined
in raw, blanched, pouched and canned green beans immediately
after processing and after storage for four months at room temperature
or at 37.5°C. Ascorbic acid was also determined in raw, pouched
and canned Royal Ann cherries immediately after processing and after...
The bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in four selected foods
(bananas, filberts, soybeans and beef) was determined in five men,
aged 22 to 25 years, who were saturated with pyridoxine. The study
consisted of a five-day adjustment period followed by a 28-day experimental
period. All subjects consumed a constant diet containing...
Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme in about 50 known enzymatic
reactions. A simple and accurate method for the determination of
pyridoxal phosphate would be desirable because it could provide a
means to assess the nutritional status of vitamin B₆ in the human.
The cyanohydrin methods to determine pyridoxal phosphate appear...
The purpose of this research was to examine some of
the factors which may affect body composition of
postmenopausal women. The effect of estrogen, physical
activity, diet and lifestyle were examined in 9 women
receiving estrogen replacement therapy and 11 women not
using this drug. For 3 consecutive days, the...
The influence of riboflavin doses on the urinary excretion of
riboflavin and 4-pyridoxic acid was investigated in 6 young men.
Doses of crystalline riboflavin and/or pyridoxine were administered
on days 10 to 25 using a 6 X 6 Latin square design. The 6
crystalline vitamin doses given were: 0.3 mg...
Bioavailability of selenium (Se) in processed tuna and
wheat products was studied in humans and rats. The protein
source of the rat diets was torula yeast with Se supplied by
either raw, precooked or canned tuna, or whole wheat flour,
bread or bran. Sodium selenite was used as a control....
I. Lithium alkyl and aryl monosubstituted cyclooctatetraenide
dianions (Li₂ C₈H₇-R; R = methyl, n- butyl, sec- butyl, tert- butyl,
phenyl and benzyl) were synthesized by the reaction of the appropriate
organolithium reagent with cyclooctatetraene in diethyl ether or
tetrahydrofuran. The reaction occurred cleanly and with good yield
of lithium monosubstituted...
