Abstract:

[Truncated abstract. Please see the pdf format for the complete text.] Interest in the role of peroxynitrite in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has increased due to many in vitro studies which have demonstrated its potent oxidising and nitrating capability and immunohistochemical staining studies which demonstrate nitration of tyrosine in vivo. It is frequently suggested that the production of nitric oxide and superoxide at sites of inflammation implicates peroxynitrite as the major damaging reactive nitrogen species in vivo. Evidence for a role for peroxynitrite is often demonstrated by

Abstract:

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a reactive carbonyl species found in Manuka honey reported to cause advanced glycation end products (AGE) formation. AGE’s increase the risk for hyperglycaemia resulting in neuropathy, arteriosclerosis, retinopathy and Alzheimer’s disease. Phenolic acids such as pyrogallol (PY) are known to trap MGO, lessening the harmful effects of MGO as an AGE precursor. However, MGO is also a very effective antibacterial agent therefore; its trapping could have negative side effects. Manuka honey contains both phenolic acids such as gallic acid (GA), caffeic acid (CA) as well as MGO

Computer-mediated communication [CMC] is beginning to be used more frequently in traditional classrooms. A group of physical chemistry professors have developed Physical Chemistry On-Line [PCOL] modules designed to augment in-class instruction and engage students at geographically dispersed institutions in activities to help them learn physical chemistry concepts. These modules use context-rich scenarios with a guided-inquiry approach, and the WWW and e-mail for information distribution and communication. This allows for intra- and inter-institutional collaboration between module participants.

Abstract:

Dietary fatty acids are considered promoters of murine and human mammary tumors. The mechanism responsible is not known. Mammary adenocarcinomas in mice originate from preneoplastic cells (hyperplastic alveolar nodules (HAN)) which are derived from normal mammary epithelial cells. Diets rich in linoleic acid (18:2) have been associated with increased incidence of HAN and promotion of tumor growth. Diets rich in stearic acid (18:0) have been associated with decreased incidence of HAN and increased latency period for mammary tumor formation in mice.The effects of dietary 18:0 and 18:2 stages of

Dietary fats have been proposed to alter the amount of glucose transporters in various tissues.

At 8 weeks of age, 28 healthy female mice were separated into 3 dietary groups, one control group (5% corn oil fat) and two high fat (15% fat) groups. One of the high fat diets was a linoleic acid rich diet (76% linoleic polyunsaturated fat), while the other was a palmitic acid rich diet (95% palmitic saturate

Current feed formulations within the aquaculture industry have tended to rely on high dietary lipid thus offsetting relatively expensive protein as a source of energy. In this way, protein can be ‘spared’ for synthesis of new tissue and the high lipid content can also fulfil both fish and consumer essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements. However, the main disadvantage of feeding high lipid levels to farmed fish is a surplus of fat deposition in the flesh and other important tissues, which can detrimentally impact on quality characteristics central to the human consumer.

Abstract:

Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biologically active eicosanoids and the oxidation of DHA gives rise to the biologically active docosanoids. The oxidation of ARA and DHA occurs through enzymatic processes, via lipoxygenase (LOX), or non-enzymatic processes, via radical-mediated lipid peroxidation. We hypothesize that oxidation of ARA

Abstract:

Epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption of fish may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Compared to the number of studies using fish oils, few studies have used fish itself. Those which have used fish have generally used fattier fish such as mackerel and salmon as part of an uncontrolled diet. In this study, 23 healthy men consumed 200g each of Chinook salmon, Dover sole, and sablefish in a three-way crossover design for 18-day periods with three-week washout periods in between. The diets had the approximate composition of the 'Western' diet: 45% carbohydrates, 36% f

Abstract:

We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of ��-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma ��-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high (n-3) fatty acid diets. There are several reasons that could explain the decreased DTH response. Some of these include decreased cytokine production, specifically, interleukin (IL) IL-1��, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-6 by mono

Abstract:

Numerous dietary factors have been shown to influence the fatty acid profiles (FAP) in breast milk from lactating women. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of trace minerals on milk FAP. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selenium status on the FAP in breast milk. Subjects were lactating women from three different regions in China; Xichang (n=21), an area where selenium intakes are among the lowest in the world, Beijing (n=20), where there are adequate selenium intakes, and Enshi (n=19), where selenium intakes are among the highest in the world.
