Journal ArticleDOI

The Relative Vitamin A Value of 9-cis β-Carotene Is Less and That of 13-cis β-Carotene May Be Greater than the Accepted 50% That of All-trans β-Carotene in Gerbils

TL;DR: The effectiveness of beta-carotene (betaC) as a vitamin A (VA) precursor may be influenced by the proportions of cis isomers of betaC consumed in the diet, which could negatively affect the vitamin A value of the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

The winged bean as an oil and protein source: A review

TL;DR: This article reviews the utilization and nutrition literature of winged bean published during the last 10 years and classification of Winged bean proteins, nutritional properties and antinutritional components of the protein, protein quality, functional properties, and protein-based food products.
Journal ArticleDOI

All-trans β-Carotene Is Absorbed Preferentially to 9-cis β-carotene, but the Latter Accumulates in the Tissues of Domestic Ferrets (Mustela putorius puro)

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the algae D. bardawil and D. salina provide a bioavailable source of betaC isomers, but, as in humans, absorption of 9-cis BetaC is poor and any 9-Cis betaC absorbed is apparently cleared by the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interactions of dietary tomato powder and soy germ on prostate carcinogenesis in the TRAMP model.

TL;DR: The dramatic reduction in the PI/AI ratio by the dietary interventions suggests that the control mice experience a stronger stimulus for malignant progression in the prostate microenvironment, and Maximally effective and safe strategies for PCa prevention may result from optimizing combinations of nutrients and bioactives through an orchestration of dietary patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Using Quantitative US

TL;DR: A multivariable quantitative US approach yielded excellent correlation with MRI proton density fat fraction for hepatic steatosis assessment in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
