Osteoporosis is a major public health problem with low bone mass affecting nearly half the women aged 50 years or older. Evidence from various studies has shown that higher body mass index (BMI) is a protective factor for bone mineral density (BMD). Most of the evidence, however, is from studies with Caucasian women and it is unclear to what extent ethnicity plays a role in modifying the effect of...... hiện toàn bộ
Pharmacological potential of tocotrienols: a reviewNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 11 - Trang 1-22 - 2014
Haseeb Ahsan, Amjid Ahad, Jahangir Iqbal, Waseem A Siddiqui
Tocotrienols, members of the vitamin E family, are natural compounds found in a number of vegetable oils, wheat germ, barley, and certain types of nuts and grains. Like tocopherols, tocotrienols are also of four types viz. alpha, beta, gamma and delta. Unlike tocopherols, tocotrienols are unsaturated and possess an isoprenoid side chain. Tocopherols are lipophilic in nature and are found in associ...... hiện toàn bộ
Targeting energy metabolism in brain cancer: review and hypothesisNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2005
Thomas N Seyfried, Purna Mukherjee
Malignant brain tumors are a significant health problem in children and adults and are often unmanageable. As a metabolic disorder involving the dysregulation of glycolysis and respiration, malignant brain cancer is potentially manageable through changes in metabolic environment. A radically different approach to brain cancer management is proposed that combines metabolic control analysis with the...... hiện toàn bộ
Hepatic S1P deficiency lowers plasma cholesterol levels in apoB-containing lipoproteins when LDLR function is compromisedNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 12 - Trang 1-14 - 2015
Debapriya Basu, Afroza Huq, Jahangir Iqbal, M. Mahmood Hussain, Xian-Cheng Jiang, Weijun Jin
Site-1 protease (S1P) is the key enzyme required for activation of the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) that govern lipid synthesis. While S1P has been speculated to influence plasma apoB-containing lipoprotein (Blp) metabolism, there has been little investigative work. LDL receptor (LDLR) is the major receptor for clearing plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-c). Proprotein convertase s...... hiện toàn bộ
Consumption of sugar sweetened beverage is associated with incidence of metabolic syndrome in Tehranian children and adolescentsNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 12 - Trang 1-9 - 2015

Intakes of high sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in adults can escalate risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS); however, data of longitudinal studies in children and adolescents are lacking. In this study we assessed consumption of SSBs in relation to incidence of MetS among children and adolescents during a 3.6 year follow-up. This study was a population-based longitudinal study, in which 424 subjects...... hiện toàn bộ
Hawthorn fruit extract reduced trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-exacerbated atherogenesis in mice via anti-inflammation and anti-oxidationNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 18 - Trang 1-15 - 2021

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Consumption of hawthorn fruit is believed to be cardio-protective, yet whether it is able to suppress the TMAO-induced atherosclerosis remains unexplored. The present study was to investigate the effects of hawthorn fruit extract (HFE) on TMAO-exacerbated atherogenesis.

The metabolism and significance of homocysteine in nutrition and healthNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 14 - Trang 1-12 - 2017

An association between arteriosclerosis and homocysteine (Hcy) was first demonstrated in 1969. Hcy is a sulfur containing amino acid derived from the essential amino acid methionine (Met). Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) was subsequently shown in several age-related pathologies such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Also, Hcy is associ...... hiện toàn bộ
Epigenetic effects of casein-derived opioid peptides in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cellsNutrition & Metabolism - Tập 12 - Trang 1-10 - 2015
Malav S. Trivedi, Nathaniel W. Hodgson, Stephen J. Walker, Geert Trooskens, Vineeth Nair, Richard C. Deth
Casein-free, gluten-free diets have been reported to mitigate some of the inflammatory gastrointestinal and behavioral traits associated with autism, but the mechanism for this palliative effect has not been elucidated. We recently showed that the opioid peptide beta-casomorphin-7, derived from bovine (bBCM7) milk, decreases cysteine uptake, lowers levels of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and d...... hiện toàn bộ
