Smoking accelerates biotin catabolism in women.
BACKGROUND Smoking accelerates the degradation of many nutrients, including lipids, antioxidants, and certain B vitamins. Accelerated biotin catabolism is of concern in women because marginal biotin deficiency is teratogenic in mammals. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the effect of smoking on the biotin status of women. DESIGN A preliminary study of 7 women and 3 men examined the urin...
متن کاملBacterial degradation of biotin. Catabolism of 14C-biotin and its sulfoxides.
A biotin-degrading particulate system has been obtained by sonic rupture of a soil pseudomonad which grows on d-biotin as sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. Investigation of the catabolism of l*C-biotin and its sulfoxides in this system has revealed the following. Degradation of biotin to CO2 is enhanced in the bufferwashed particulate preparations by addition of adenosine triphosphat...
متن کاملDexamethasone accelerates catabolism of leukotriene C4 in bronchial epithelial cells.
Leukotriene (LT)C4, a potent chemical mediator in bronchial asthma, is metabolised to the less active LTE4 via LTD4 in two consecutive reactions catalysed by enzymes of the glutamyl transpeptidase and dipeptidase families. The activities of these catabolic enzymes may be influenced by glucocorticosteroids. This study was conducted to examine whether this inactivation of LTC4 is affected by dexa...
متن کاملCalorie restriction accelerates the catabolism of lean body mass
Background: Muscle inactivity and low energy intake commonly occur in persons with acute or chronic disease, in astronauts during space flight, and during aging. Objective: We used a crossover design to investigate the effects of the interactions of inactivity and calorie restriction on whole-body composition and protein kinetic regulation in 9 healthy volunteers. Design: Lean body mass (LBM) w...
متن کاملSmoking and smoking cessation in relation to mortality in women.
CONTEXT Smoking is associated with an increased risk of total and cause-specific death, but the rate of mortality risk reduction after quitting compared with continuing to smoke is uncertain. There is inadequate or insufficient evidence to infer the presence or absence of a causal relationship between smoking and ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship betwe...
