Biochemical, vitamin, trace element and immunological changes were searched for the combined nutritional deficiency of vitamins B1, B2, B6 on in vivo models in rats and mice. Female rats of Wistar (W) strain and hybrids of the 1st generation of Dark Aguti and Wistar (DA x W) strains, female mice of
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a dimeric protein complex consisting of protein disulfide isomerase and a unique 97 kDa subunit. In vitro, MTP accelerates the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phospholipid between vesicles. It was recently demonstrated that
Biotin deficiency (Bt-D) is usually studied at the point at which the animal model exhibits the signs of full-blown deficiency symptoms; in rats, this typically occurs at 6-8 weeks of feeding a deficient diet. To differentiate specific deficiency effects from those of undernutrition, biotin
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with biochemical markers for B-vitamin deficiency, insulin resistance and colonic inflammation, suggesting that these three conditions are each involved in colon carcinogenesis. We expected that dietary supplements of folic acid, n-3 fatty acids and calcium would
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of diabetes in the French West Indies is three times higher than in mainland France. We aimed to assess the associations between vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular risk factors in Caribbean patients with type 2 diabetes
Balanced diet during 60-day hypokinesia leads to inhibition of lipoprotein lypase (LPLA) and liver triglyceride lypase (L-TGLA) activity of the rat blood serum. The level of very low density lipoproteins (VLDLP) grows, and suppression of lecithin-cholesteryl-acyltransferase (LCAT) activity is
Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were grown from 5 to 45 g average size by feeding diets containing a low level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (0.48% linolenic acid) and supplemented with 0 (basal), 25, 75, 250 or 2500 mg/kg of alpha-tocopherol or 125 mg/kg of ethoxyquin. Growth rate was
Distinct alterations in the reactions responsible for development of lipoprotein hydrophobic nuclei was observed in rat of the August strain maintained for 60 days under conditions of hypokinesia on a ration, containing wheat gluten as a protein source and deficient in retinol, tocopherol and
BACKGROUND
This study examined the status of oxidative stress and B vitamins in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in different tumor-node-metastasis stages. Patients were divided into two groups as I + II (n = 21) and III + IV (n = 19).
METHODS
Plasma levels of lipid oxidation,
BACKGROUND
Obesity is frequently associated with metabolic and cardiovascular co-morbidities and high mortality rates. Besides, because of the increasingly recognized fact that conservative therapy for morbid obesity is associated with an almost 90-95% failure rate in the long term, and probably
We reviewed the initial lipid and fat-soluble vitamin levels in 56 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating ursodeoxycholic acid. We also evaluated lipid and vitamin levels in a group of 87 patients with advanced PSC being
The effect of dietary thiamin deficiency has been studied on intestinal functions and chemical composition of brush border membranes in rats. Intestinal uptake of glucose, glycine, alanine, and leucine was significantly stimulated in thiamin deficiency compared to pair-fed control group. Studies
Plant fibers have important influences on gastrointestinal physiology and the absorption of many nutrients. Certain fibers delay the absorption of carbohydrates and result in less postprandial hyperglycemia. Because the intake of plant fibers lowers plasma glucose concentrations and decreases
Objective: To investigate whether polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) had further deteriorating influence on endothelial function or cardiometabolic parameters in women with vitamin D deficiency during reproductive age.
Disturbance in one-carbon (1-C) cycle occurs due to nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B12/folate) or specific genetic polymorphisms. This leads to altered levels of key 1-C metabolites such as SAM (s-adenosyl methionine), SAH (s-adenosyl homocysteine), methionine, homocysteine and MMA (methyl
