Background: A low circulating vitamin B-6 concentration, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is commonly seen in human inflammation. Objective: We investigated whethe…
Background: The potential of β-cryptoxanthin (CX)–rich foods to form vitamin A (VA) in humans in not well understood. Objective: We measured the effects of consuming CX- and β-carotene (BC)â…
Background: The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin A are 1.7 and 2.4 μmol/d (500 and 700 μg retinol activity equivalents/d), respectively, for…
Background: There are very limited data regarding the effects of blueberry flavonoid intake on vascular function in healthy humans. Objectives: We investigated the impact of blueberry flavonoid …
Background: Patients with thalassemia major (Thal) frequently have low plasma zinc, which has been associated with low bone mass. Objective: The objective was to determine the effect of zinc sup…
Background: Alterations in immune function can predispose patients to nosocomial infections. Few studies have explored potentially modifiable host factors that may improve immune function and decre…
Background: Berries are associated with health benefits. Little is known about the effect of baseline metabolome on the overall metabolic responses to berry intake. Objective: We studied the eff…
Background: Tryptophan metabolism through the kynurenine pathway includes 2 vitamin B-6 [pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)]–dependent enzymes. We recently showed that plasma 3-hydroxykynurenine (HK)…
Background: (–)-Epicatechin is a dietary flavonoid present in many foods that affects vascular function, but its action is limited by incomplete absorption, conjugation, and metabolism. Factors t…
Background: The seasonal variation in circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations is large relative to mean values. Single measurements may misclassify annual exposure, which may lead …
Background: Decreased 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations have been associated with an increased prevalence and severity of asthma and a lower response to inhaled corticosteroids. Objec…
Background: Animal models show that periconceptional supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B-12, choline, and betaine can induce differences in offspring phenotype mediated by epigenetic changes…
Background: Observational and experimental studies suggest that diets rich in cruciferous vegetables and glucosinolates may reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objective:…
Background: Hypovitaminosis C and D are highly prevalent in acute-care hospitals. Malnutrition with regard to these vitamins has been linked to mood disturbance and cognitive dysfunction. Object…
Background: Vitamin D intakes are lower than dietary recommendations in most populations, and thus, a low vitamin D status is widespread, especially during winter. Objective: We investigated the…
Background: Absorption factors are required to convert physiologic requirements for iron into Dietary Reference Values, but the absorption from single meals cannot be used to estimate dietary iron …
