Adipokines: inflammation and the pleiotropic role of white adipose tissue Tập 92 Số 3 - Trang 347-355 - 2004
Paul Trayhurn, I. Stuart Wood
White adipose tissue is now recognised to be a multifunctional organ; in addition to the central role of lipid storage, it has a major endocrine function secreting several hormones, notably leptin and adiponectin, and a diverse range of other protein factors. These various protein signals have been given the collective name ‘adipocytokines’ or ‘adipokines’. However, since most are neither ...... hiện toàn bộ Amino acids and immune function Tập 98 Số 2 - Trang 237-252 - 2007

A deficiency of dietary protein or amino acids has long been known to impair immune function and increase the susceptibility of animals and humans to infectious disease. However, only in the past 15 years have the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms begun to unfold. Protein malnutrition reduces concentrations of most amino acids in plasma. Findings from recent studies indicate an ...... hiện toàn bộ Body mass index as a measure of body fatness: age- and sex-specific prediction formulas Tập 65 Số 2 - Trang 105-114 - 1991
Paul Deurenberg, Jan A. Weststrate, Jacob C. Seidell
In 1229 subjects, 521 males and 708 females, with a wide range in body mass index (BMI; 13.9–40.9 kg/m2), and an age range of 7–83 years, body composition was determined by densitometry and anthropometry. The relationship between densitometrically-determined body fat percentage (BF%) and BMI, taking age and sex (males =1, females = 0) into account, was analysed. For ch...... hiện toàn bộ Selenium in global food systems Tập 85 Số 5 - Trang 517-547 - 2001

Food systems need to produce enough of the essential trace element Se to provide regular adult intakes of at least 40 μg/d to support the maximal expression of the Se enzymes, and perhaps as much as 300 μg/d to reduce risks of cancer. Deprivation of Se is associated with impairments in antioxidant protection, redox regulation and energy production as consequences of suboptimal expression o...... hiện toàn bộ Dietary factors and low-grade inflammation in relation to overweight and obesity Tập 106 Số S3 - Trang S5-S78 - 2011

Consistent dietary patterns identified from childhood to adulthood: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study Tập 93 Số 6 - Trang 923-931 - 2005

Dietary patterns are useful in nutritional epidemiology, providing a comprehensive alternative to the traditional approach based on single nutrients. The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study is a prospective cohort study with a 21-year follow-up. At baseline, detailed quantitative information on subjects' food consumption was obtained using a 48 h dietary recall method (n<...... hiện toàn bộ Functional food science and defence against reactive oxidative species Tập 80 Số S1 - Trang S77-S112 - 1998

AbstractThis paper assesses critically the science base that underpins the argument that oxidative damage is a significant causative factor in the development of human diseases and that antioxidants are capable of preventing or ameliorating these disease processes. The assessment has been carried out under a number of headings, and some recommendations for future r...... hiện toàn bộ Gut microbiota composition is associated with body weight, weight gain and biochemical parameters in pregnant women Tập 104 Số 1 - Trang 83-92 - 2010

Obesity is associated with complications during pregnancy and increased health risks in the newborn. The objective of the present study was to establish possible relationships between gut microbiota, body weight, weight gain and biochemical parameters in pregnant women. Fifty pregnant women were classified according to their BMI in normal-weight (n34) and overwei...... hiện toàn bộ Food-chain selenium and human health: emphasis on intake Tập 100 Số 2 - Trang 254-268 - 2008
Margaret P. Rayman
Following the publication of the landmark trial of Clarket al.in 1996 that appeared to show that Se could reduce the risk of cancer, awareness of the importance of Se to human health has markedly increased. As a result, there is now much more aggressive marketing of Se supplements and functional foods, even in situations where additional consumption of Se is inap...... hiện toàn bộ Comparison of dietary assessment methods in nutritional epidemiology: weighed records v. 24 h recalls, food-frequency questionnaires and estimated-diet records Tập 72 Số 4 - Trang 619-643 - 1994

Women (n 160) aged 50 to 65 years were asked to weigh their food for 4 d on four occasions over the period of 1 year, using the PETRA (Portable Electronic Tape Recorded Automatic) scales. Throughout the year, they were asked to complete seven other dietary assessment methods: a simple 24 h recall, a structured 24 h recall with portion size assessments using photo...... hiện toàn bộ
