The biological role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in various diseases, including inflammation and cancer, has been highlighted recently. Although PPARg ligands have been found to inhibit mammary carcinogenesis in rodents, the effects on colon tumorigenesis are controversial. In the present study, three different experiments were conducted to investigate the modifyin...

conclusions due to seasonal variations in fruit and vegetable dietary intakes, the interventional and case-control studies should consider seasonality. educational and price controlling programs may control such observed seasonality in the intake of fruit and vegetables. results the highest consumption of vegetables was seen in summer (289 ± 3.4 g/day) while the lowest was in winter (224 ± 3.2 ...

conclusions this work gained satisfactory results in developing a nutritionally fortified and palatably accepted papads using purslane leaves. background papads are cereal or legume based preserved products rich in proteins. they are consumed after deep fat frying as a side dish in india. in the present work, the traditional savoury was chosen for value addition with green leafy vegetables i.e....

BACKGROUND Food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) have been widely used in epidemiological studies of dietary factors, despite persistent questions about the quality of the data they generate. To address concerns about the influence of disease status on dietary recall, we examined the temporal consistency of dietary recall data obtained in a case-control study of environmental factors and childhoo...

Our aim was to characterize the postprandial total and dietary N fluxes in the portal drained viscera (PDV) and whole body after administration of a single meal in young pigs. Seven 4-wk-old piglets, implanted with a portal flow probe and portal, arterial and venous catheters, received a primed constant [(18)O]urea intravenous infusion and were studied for 8 h after a bolus mixed meal ingestion...

Careful blood glucose monitoring and consistent insulin administration are necessary for managing diabetes. People with demanding schedules or little access to medical personnel may find this difficult. Fortunately, without having visit a doctor every day, daily dosage now be customized person’s unique needs using technology customised algorithms based on their food intake, exercise routines, l...

Ethanolamine plasmalogen (PlsEtn), a subclass of ethanolamine glycerophospholipid (EtnGpl), has been reported to have many biological and dietary functions. In terms PlsEtn absorption, some studies that is re-esterized at the sn-2 position using lymph cannulation everted jejunal sac model. this study, we aimed better understand uptake kinetics increase its absorption. We thus compared with lyso...

Herbal and dietary supplement (HDS) use has grown exponentially in the United States. Unfortunately, incidence of HDS-related liver injury proportionally increased. Despite potential for certain HDSs to cause clinically significant injury, they are not regulated by Food Drug Administration. Recent efforts have been made regulate but far removed from scrutiny prescription medications. Scant lite...

Exercise combined with dietary factors may have significant effects on the suppression of body fat accumulation. Several trials suggest that amino acid mixtures containing alanine, arginine, and phenylalanine (ARF) exercise can significantly reduce accumulation in overweight adults high-fat diet-induced obesity mice. We therefore hypothesized combining ARF would induce beige adipocyte formation...

Hepatocytes derived either from rats fed a diet enriched in n-3 fatty acids or from rats fed a low-fat diet and cultured with an n-3 fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA) in vitro were used to distinguish between the dietary effects and the direct effects of n-3 fatty acids on hepatocellular apolipoprotein (apo) B metabolism and secretion. ApoB-48 and apoB-100 synthesis, degradation, and secr...
