60 There is a lack of studies that analyse the association between micronutrient-related 61 biomarker status and physical fitness in adolescents. In the present study, biochemical 62 parameters for iron and vitamin status were studied along with objective measures of 63 physical fitness in healthy male and female European adolescents. 1089 adolescents (580 64 girls, 12.5-17.5 years) from the HE...

PART from the TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide) -specific glutamate deA hydrogenase (T-GDH) first described by FINCHAM ( 1950, 195 l ), Neurospora crassa possesses a DPN (diphosphopyridine nucleotide) -specific glutamate dehydrogenase (D-GDH) which is present ( SANWAL and LATA 1961 a) both in wild-type strains (SANWAL and LATA 1961b) and in mutants lacking T-GDH (am-1 mutants). The presence o...

MATERIALS AND METHODS In a parallel design, 106 men and women with type 2 diabetes were randomized to a prescriptive 16-week cal...

a simple, rapid new technique is described for the electrophoresis of hemo­globin when screening large human populations. the method uses a drop of finger tip's blood dried on a thick filter paper as the specimen. the simplicity of the sampling, tagging, transportation and electrophoresis, provides a reliable procedure for surveys of large population. in our hand 200 specimens were screened dur...

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODSdA random sample of the general population of Copenhagen, Denmark, was taken as part of the Inter99 study. Included were 6,405 men and women aged 30–65 years at baseline (1999–2001), with 4,296 participating in the follow-up examination 5 years later (2004–2006). Vitamin D was determined at baseline as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Diabetes was defined based on an...

320 one-day male broilers (ross 308) were divided in 4 treatments (with 4 replicate and 20 chicks for a replicate). all of broilers reared under a cold environmental temperature to induce ascites .experimental treatments were included 1: was fed a commercial corn-soybean meal- based diet meeting nrc (1994) including 1.2% arg and 40 iu of vitamin e/kg (control), 2: control with 400 iu of vitamin...

Vitamin D deficiency is common among the elderly with and without heart failure (HF). This study was designed to identify the degree of vitamin D deficiency among HF and Non- HF elderly with cardiovascular disease. In this study, fifty hospitalized elderly patients with HF (26 women and 24 men, age range 60-90 years) and fifty elderly without HF were randomly selected. The level of serum 25-hyd...

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a common disorder worldwide and is indicated by low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Recent studies have suggested an association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and type 2 diabetes in South Indian patients. Materials and Methods...

OBJECTIVES 1. Evaluate the effect of washing and cooking iron-fortified rice on iron retention and bioavailability. 2. Evaluate the effect of iron-fortified rice on women with iron deficiency anemia. METHODS 1. Iron-fortified rice (18 mg/100 g as FeSO4) was cooked in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (C), rinsed and cooked (RC), fried and cooked (FC), cooked with extra water (CW), or soaked and cooked w...
