BACKGROUND
There is controversy regarding whether increasing isolated soy protein (ISP) with or without flaxseed oil (FO), as functional foods, would lead to reduce muscle catabolism and cachexia in burn patients.
METHODS
One hundred and eighty-eight patients were assessed for eligibility in this
In many tropical regions, slash-and-burn agriculture is considered as a driver of deforestation; the forest is converted into agricultural land by cutting and burning the trees. However, the fields are abandoned after few years because of yield decrease and weed invasion. Consequently, new surfaces
The objective was to determine the effect of isolated soy protein (ISP) and flaxseed oil (FO) on inflammatory and oxidative stress indices, acute phase proteins, and wound healing of burn patients.
One hundred eighty-eight patients were assessed for eligibility in this randomized controlled trial.
Profound immunosuppression occurs after major burn injuries. The ability of vitamin E to prevent post-burn immunosuppression was tested in mice using ear swelling in response to a challenge with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) as an in vivo measure of cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Vitamin E was
In general, Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille) are considered nonpests of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], but changes in soil conservation practices have shifted the pest status of this organism from an opportunistic to a perennial, early-season pest in parts of central Kansas. As a result,
In this review, the mechanism of our "toxic environment's" effects on insulin and weight gain in the genesis of obesity is elaborated. The composition of our diet is highly insulinogenic. The insulin drives energy into fat, and interferes with leptin signaling in the VMH. This results in weight gain
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been reported to improve clinical outcome in a number of inflammatory diseases including burns and sepsis. One mechanism contributing to the anti-inflammatory effect is the incorporation of n-3 PUFAs into membrane phospholipids which decreases
Turnout gear provides protection against dermal exposure to contaminants during firefighting; however, the level of protection is unknown. We explored the dermal contribution to the systemic dose of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other aromatic hydrocarbons in firefighters during
