Phytic acid has anti-oxidant properties, which are useful in addressing inflammation. This study investigated the relationship between dietary phytate intake and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels among individuals that are overweight or obese. The study used cross-sectional data from the 2009/2010
OBJECTIVE
Both stunting and overweight are present in children across China. Seemingly paradoxical, these two conditions can also coexist in the same child. The aim was to examine the associations between dietary food/nutrient intake and plasma lipid profiles related to stunting and overweight
Zinc has a critical role in metabolism and growth. This study aims to determine the effects of low-energy diets differing in macronutrient composition on zinc intake, estimated zinc bioavailability (phytate:zinc molar ratio) and plasma zinc concentration and associations between zinc status and
Inappropriate dietary habits, overweight and lifestyle are suggested to contribute considerably to the increasing incidence and prevalence of urolithiasis. Numerous dietary factors can alter urinary composition and supersaturation, which can affect the process of stone formation. Dietary oxalate,
Well-planned vegetarian diets are considered adequate for all stages of the life cycle, despite limited data on the zinc status of vegetarians during early childhood. The bioavailability of iron and zinc in vegetarian diets is poor because of their higher content of absorption inhibitors such as
Wheat bran (ST) is very rich in insoluble fiber, consisting mainly arabinoxylans and, to a lesser extent, cellulose and β-glucans, as well as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants polyphenolic. The ST is involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal physiology and health: delayed gastric emptying and
Background: Recent increase in demand for starch in food applications has called for research into other new sources. Dioscorea villosa is an underutilized wild yam starch source and its starch was isolated and succinylated at 0, 3, 6, 9
BACKGROUND: The mechanism for weight loss following gastroplasty surgery is unknown. A few studies have checked gastric emptying patterns following gastroplasty, but none have analyzed their pattern over time. METHODS: Gastric emptying half-time of Tc-99 phytate-labeled semi-solid meal was studied
BACKGROUND
Gastric banding is today a common restrictive procedure to treat morbid obesity. After operation, adjustment of the band is required to adequately restrict food intake, allowing better results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of a unique method of adjustment using
We previously reported that metformin improves insulin-mediated glucose liver metabolism in patients with non insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). It is not clear whether this is a direct effect of metformin on liver metabolism or mediated by other mechanisms such as increased liver blood flow. In
Epidemiological studies find that whole-grain intake is protective against cancer, CVD, diabetes, and obesity. Despite recommendations to consume three servings of whole grains daily, usual intake in Western countries is only about one serving/d. Whole grains are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals
In the past decade, substantial progress has been made concerning our knowledge of bioactive components in plant foods and their links to health. Human diets of plant origin contain many hundreds of compounds which cannot be considered as nutrients, but appear to play a role in the maintenance of
The influence of unhealthy dietary habits on urinary stone formation has been widely recognized in literature. Dietary advice is indeed the cornerstone prescription for prevention of nephrolithiasis as well. However, only a small amount of medical literature has addressed the influence of popular or
Probiotics play a vital role in clinical applications for the treatment of diarrhea, obesity and urinary tract infections. Phytate, an anti-nutrient, chelates essential minerals that are vital for human health. In the past few decades, research reports emphasize extensively on phytate degradation in
Epidemiological studies find that whole-grain intake is protective against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Potential mechanisms for this protection are diverse since whole grains are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals. First, whole grains are concentrated sources of dietary
