Wheat is a vital crop having imperative nutrients for human diet e.g., protein and certain B-vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and pyridoxine), well-intentioned for body metabolic processes. These vitamins are concentrated in grain outer layer thus milling process affects these vitamins to a larger extent and may reduce their level. The aim of the present study is to determine the level of ...

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of vitamins A, D2, D3, E and K1, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, tocopherol acetate, ergosterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol in milk and butter. Narrow-bore columns are recommended because this alternative provides a good separation and efficiency, plus greater economy and sensitivity...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine the optimal timing of vitamins E and C to prevent oxidative stress induced by a high-fat evening meal in type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Eleven subjects were admitted on 4 occasions. Euglycemia was maintained for 24 hours by insulin infusion. Participants were fed a high-fat test supper equivalent to a McDonald's Big Mac Meal. Blood was dra...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of using Artemia franciscana enriched with cod liver oil and vitamins C and E on the growth, survival and stress resistance of juvenile Sepia pharaonis (Pharaoh cuttlefish). Twenty-five days after hatching, the larvae of S. pharaonis were transferred into culture tanks with an average length of 15.97±0.15 mm and average body weight of 3.53±0.03 g, in ele...

background: it has been shown that reactive oxygen species (ros) can lead to deleterious effects on a range of sperm parameters. vitamins e and c are capable of reducing ros levels and lipid peroxidation. objective: the aim of study was to determine the level of lipid peroxidation as indicated by malondialdehyde (mda) and vitamins e and c in sperm and seminal plasma of asthenoteratozoospermic a...

In the presentations on the B Vitamins and Choline Report (IOM, 1998a), Steven H. Zeisel of the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill (former member of the Panel on B Vitamins and Choline) addressed research on thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and choline. Dr. Patrick Stover of Cornell University covered folate, vitamins B12 and B6, and biotin. Both presenters addressed lack of...

Vitamins comprise one of the six general groups of nutrients--the other groups are water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and minerals. Vitamins are organic (carboncontaining) compounds needed in relatively small amounts by the body to support normal metabolism, which involves the breakdown and formation of molecules within the body. Vitamins cannot be synthesized within the body in sufficient a...
