TL;DR: Evidence is accumulating to suggest other mechanisms such as intercellular gap junction communication, hormonal and immune system modulation and metabolic pathways may also be involved in the effects of dietary lycopene on human health.

TL;DR: There is strong evidence primarily from developed countries that zinc, calcium and magnesium supplementation could improve birth weight, prematurity and hypertension particularly in high risk groups and there is a need for well designed RCT's that will examine the role of selected nutrient interactions and multi vitamin-mineral supplements in improving pregnancy outcomes.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to discuss the relatively recent revival of interest in bacterial interference, particularly the use of Bifidobucferium spp.

TL;DR: CLA in milk of all ruminants was season-dependent and there exists a close positive correlation to trans vaccenic acid, which is inversely correlated to the content of PUFA and partly to MUFA.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acute stress and chronic stress can induce gastrointestinal oxidative stress and mucosal injury through enhanced production of ROS, and that GSPE provides significant protection against gastrointestinal oxidative stressed tissue injury by scavenging these ROS.

TL;DR: The findings not only demonstrate the antioxidant property of 26 dietary phenolic agents in an ex vivo model, but also indicate a possible involvement of phenol-protein interaction in the biological inhibition of LDL-oxidation, suggesting that both chemical reducing ability and availability at the site of LDL components may be necessary for these major dietary antioxidants to prevent LDL oxidation in vivo.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the serum response during oral beta-carotene supplementation is improved through the non-specific, thermogenic property(s) of piperine, described in this paper as thermonutrient in action.

TL;DR: Ordered logistic regression analysis shows the significance of some of the factors not shown by association statistics, regression analysis, and ordinary logistic linear regression analysis in the search for determinants of child malnutrition.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dietary lycopene is absorbed by rats and distributed to various tissues and acts as an antioxidant in reducing oxidation and thereby may protect against AOM induced ACF incidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of current research involving humans, animals, plants, soils, phytases and genetic engineering to reduce phytate levels in foods and feeds is presented.

TL;DR: It seemed that H. charoides had a comparatively greater hypocholesterolemic potential than the others, as all four seaweeds had no adverse effect on the growth of animals with respect to their body weight and the weights of internal organs.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CHO taken with CM during training may be superior to training alone for enhancing exercise performance and FFW.

TL;DR: Results indicate that hesperetin decreased the plasma cholesterol level in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet and there was a marked decrease in daily excretion of fecal neutral sterols.

TL;DR: In this article, the cholesterol lowering effect of a dietary fiber and polyphenols rich product (DFPP) was evaluated in normo- and hyper-cholesterolemic rats.

TL;DR: The effects of the insoluble dietary fibers prepared from Phaseolus angularis,phaseolus calcaratus, and Dolichos lablab seeds relative to cellulose as control on cholesterol absorption in hamsters were studied.

TL;DR: It is tested the concept that a daily regimen of supplementation with fruit and vegetable extracts (JuicePlus™) would reduce the amount of DNA damage in the peripheral lymphocytes of the elderly.

TL;DR: Reduced activity of GSSG-Red and unchanged GSH levels may relate to an antioxidant sparing effect of ED and EL in tissues of flax and SDG-fed rats.

TL;DR: The investigated effects from RS ingestion were in general qualitatively similar in both species, and increases in faecal water content and bulking were found in rats and pigs.

TL;DR: Both plasma hemoglobin and arginase activity values were significantly much higher in the patients than in the controls, with wide differences in individual patients, and L-arginine appears to be a key conditionally essential amino acid in sickle cell anemia.

TL;DR: Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and the membrane bound ATPase activities were decreased in CCI 4 treated animals and were completely restored on TAP treatment, thus, suggesting that T AP treatment prevents tissue injury by neutralizing the oxidative stress induced changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the absorption of this novel iron fortification compound called SFE-171TM by means of the classical double-isotopic method was studied in fifteen healthy adult men, none of them were anemic and all had normal iron stores.

TL;DR: A role for ionic rapidly absorbed and distributed iron in oxidation susceptibility of lipoproteins in humans is suggested and it is suggested that if iron supplementation is necessary, non-ionic iron polymaltose products are preferable to ferrous sulfate.

TL;DR: Overall, several wine components show promise for their possible cardiovascular protective effects, however, caution is required when formulating recommendations for daily alcohol consumption.

TL;DR: The results obtained seem to demonstrate that the evaluation of DNA damage by means of the Comet assay is a useful method to analyse the oxidative stress and the antioxidant capacity of the cells when challenged with H 2 O 2.

TL;DR: This combined approach methodology allows 24-hour intakes to be collected on young children in the school setting as well as the home environment to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiovascular risk reduction program in minority and low-income children and their parents.

TL;DR: The data presented indicate that the adaptations to a diet rich in protein did not affect the rate of protein synthesis, and also that the limited availability of protein reduced the rateof protein synthesis in some visceral organs but not in the skeletal muscle nor the skin.

TL;DR: It is shown nevertheless, that four year old low income children have significantly higher estimated intakes of energy than recommended and lead very sedentary lives.

TL;DR: Although vegetarian subjects had sufficient iron intake, the bioavailability of iron seemed limited to maintaining iron balance, especially in women.

TL;DR: Except for teen-age motherhood and conditions such as familial hypophosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism during lactation, no single environmental or constitutional variable was found to consistently affect calcium or phosphorus concentration in breast milk.

TL;DR: There was an advantage in intercropping over monocropping as the LER was above 1.0 in all three densities with the medium density having the highest LER and similar results were found using Total Nutrient Content.
