The relation of antioxidant nutrients to the incidence of nuclear cataracts was investigated in a cohort of adults aged 43-84 years in the Beaver Dam Eye Study (Beaver Dam, Wisconsin). Nuclear opacity was assessed on a five-point ordinal scale using lens photographs taken at baseline (1988-1990) and at follow-up (1993-1995). Of the 1,354 persons eligible, 246 developed a nuclear cataract (level...

Biotin is one of the water-soluble vitamins which plays an important role as a covalently bound coenzyme for carboxylases in fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) metabolism in mammals. This vitamin is widely distributed in various foods and produced in intestinal microflora. Biotin deficiency is rare in general dietary habits. However, biotin deficiency In...

To determine the effects of excess biotin administration on growth and water-soluble vitamin metabolism, weaning rats were fed on a 20% casein diet containing 0.00002% biotin, or same diet with 0.04, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 0.80 or 1.0% added biotin for 28 days. More than 0.08% biotin administration decreased the food intake and body weight gain compared with the levels in control rats. An accu...

Abstract The richest chemical composition of honey determines its extremely high biological activity. and concentration bioactive compounds largely depend on botanical origin, i.e. they are determined by nectar the pollen nectariferous plant, soil which grow, as well climate weather conditions. Along with enzymes minerals, vitamins found in small but measurable amounts. Vitamins mainly represen...

Vitamins D and K are both fat-soluble vitamins and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D promotes the production of vitamin K-dependent proteins, which require vitamin K for carboxylation in order to function properly. The purpose of this review is to summarize available evidence of the synergistic interplay between vitamins D and K on bone and cardiovascular health. Animal and h...

We examined the concentrations of water-soluble vitamins in blood and urinary excretion of 22 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2DM) and 20 healthy control participants. Macronutrient and vitamin intakes of type 2DM subjects were measured using a weighed food record method. Control participants consumed a semipurified diet for eight days. Multiple linear regression models were used t...

Cereals are the major source of energy to good health over world. The and minor cereals consumed either processed semi with addition other food ingredients. contains nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, fat some having amount dietary fibre (soluble insoluble). Some especially colored rice, wheat, maize millets functional bioactive components such as polyphenols, tocophero...

there are no adequate data that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lowering triglyceride levels in infants. the authors report a neonate affected by familial hyperchylomicronemia, while being investigated for sepsis the serum sample obtained for blood counts was discovered to be lipaemic and the case was subsequently investigated for dyslipidemia. based on this very abnormal lipid profile...
