Journal ArticleDOI
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 increases the expression of the CaT1 epithelial calcium channel in the Caco-2 human intestinal cell line
TL;DR: Observations are the first to demonstrate regulation of CaT1 expression by vitamin D and are consistent with a new model of intestinal calcium absorption wherein vitamin D-mediated changes in brush border membrane CaT 1 levels could be the primary gatekeeper regulating homeostatic modulation ofestinal calcium absorption efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wilshire,Annika Dahlqvist,Ralf Sundberg,Ann Childers,Katharine Morrison,Anssi H Manninen,Hussain Dashti,Richard J. Wood,Jay Wortman,Nicolai Worm +25 more
TL;DR: 12 points of evidence supporting the use of low-carbohydrate diets as the first approach to treating type 2 diabetes and as the most effective adjunct to pharmacology in type 1 are presented and represent the best-documented, least controversial results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrate Restriction has a More Favorable Impact on the Metabolic Syndrome than a Low Fat Diet
Jeff S. Volek,Stephen D. Phinney,Cassandra E. Forsythe,Erin E. Quann,Richard J. Wood,Michael J. Puglisi,William J. Kraemer,Doug Bibus,Maria Luz Fernandez,Richard D. Feinman +9 more
TL;DR: The findings provide support for unifying the disparate markers of MetS and for the proposed intimate connection with dietary carbohydrate in a 12-week study comparing two hypocaloric diets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grape Polyphenols Exert a Cardioprotective Effect in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women by Lowering Plasma Lipids and Reducing Oxidative Stress
Tosca L. Zern,Richard J. Wood,Christine M Greene,Kristy L. West,Yanzhu Liu,Dimple Aggarwal,Neil S. Shachter,Maria Luz Fernandez +7 more
TL;DR: Through alterations in lipoprotein metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers, LGP intake beneficially affected key risk factors for coronary heart disease in both pre- and postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Low Fat and Low Carbohydrate Diets on Circulating Fatty Acid Composition and Markers of Inflammation
Cassandra E. Forsythe,Stephen D. Phinney,Maria Luz Fernandez,Erin E. Quann,Richard J. Wood,Doug Bibus,William J. Kraemer,Richard D. Feinman,Jeff S. Volek +8 more
TL;DR: A very low carbohydrate diet resulted in profound alterations in fatty acid composition and reduced inflammation compared to a low fat diet, and consistently inversely associated with responses in inflammatory proteins.
