While replacement of dietary saturated fat with unsaturated fat has been advocated
to reduce cardiovascular disease risk, diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFA) could increase low density lipoprotein (LDL) susceptibility to oxidation,
potentially contributing to the pathology of atherosclerosis. To assess in vivo lipid
peroxidation and susceptibility, of LDL...
Numerous dietary factors have been shown to influence the fatty acid profiles (FAP)
in breast milk from lactating women. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of trace
minerals on milk FAP. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect
of selenium status on the FAP in...
The objective of this study was to compare the effects on eating behavior,
lipids, lipoproteins, lipid peroxidation, and glycemic control in women with type 2
diabetes of a high-monounsaturated fat diet (HM) compared to a high-carbohydrate
diet (HC).
In an outpatient feeding study, ten hypertriglyceridemic postmenopausal type
2 diabetic women...
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...
Trained male cyclists (6 in study 1, 5 in study 2) cycled to exhaustion (EXH) at
75% of VO₂ max twice; once in the non-supplemented (NS) state and once in the vitamin
B-6 (B-6)(20 mg PN) supplemented (S) state. The diet contained 2.3 mg B-6 in study 1
and 1.9...
This investigation was conducted to determine the
effect of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on vitamin B-6
status of postmenopausal women. Nineteen postmenopausal
women served as subjects. Nine (54.7 + 4.7 years) were
taking ERT (experimental group); ten (56.8 + 2.3 years)
were not (control group). For three consecutive days,
subjects...
Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of varying vitamin B-6 (B- 6) status on lymphocyte mitogenic response and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in young women. In the first study, women were fed 1 mg/d for the first week and 1.5, 2.1 and...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of extreme exercise on vitamin B-6
metabolism and urea nitrogen. Nine men and five women completed two 5-day trials; Trial 1
(T1) included a 50-km ultramarathon on day 4 and during Trial 2 (T2) subjects were "inactive"
on day 4....
Twenty-one women, lifelong residents of Xichang County, Sichuan Province, China, an area of very low soil selenium (Se), received tablets containing either 100 μg Se daily as Se-enriched yeast (+Se) or no additional Se (-Se), throughout the last trimester of pregnancy and the first three months of lactation. Diet was...
