The influence of formulation and processing on the retention of B vitamins in Asian noodles
… flour represent a potential source of B group vitamins in thendiet. Although Asian noodles account for the end-use of at least twelve percent of all wheats produced globally, the contribution of these foods to dietary intakes of B vitamins is unknown. Other issues are the instability of …

The Effect of Infusion of B Vitamins and Amino Acids on the Excretion of Endogenous Amino Acids in Dogs
Amino acids are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney. Their reabsorption is said to be essentially complete in the fasting state when speaking of endogenous amino acids; but when the amounts of amino acids filtered by the renal corpuscle are increased, both the amounts …

Growth and development of the megagametophyte of the vascular plant Selaginella (Lycopsida) on defined media
… trehalose, and sorbitol), with and without B vitamins, in an attempt to induce apogamy. Without B vitamins growth was enhanced on glucose and trehalose, but not on sucrose. With B vitamins growth was enhanced on all types and concentrations of carbon sources. Enhanced growth involved the …

The effects of docosahexaenoic acid combined with supporting nutrients and physical activity on mobility and cognitive function in older women.
… omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and B vitamins. There is now evidence to suggest that there may be an interaction between B vitamins and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, with suggestions that optimising intake of both nutrients being key to eliciting benefits to cognition within …

Exploring B vitamin biosynthesis and exchange in understudied marine stramenopiles and their communities
… various micronutrients, for example, B vitamins. Instead, they rely on an external source to satisfy their requirement. Here I explore the role of B vitamin exchange in microbial communities, with a particular focus on the marine protists of the stramenopile group of eukaryotes. An …

Effect of cultivar, storage, cooking method and tissue type on the ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin B6 content of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.)] Lam
… no cultivar was superior or inferior for all the vitamins throughout 6 months of storage. Exposure of sweetpotatoes to chilling injury temperatures of 1 °C and 6 °C for 2 or 4 weeks did not result in consistent changes in AA, thiamin, and riboflavin. However, transfer of the low temperature-stored …

Analysis and Characterization of Vitamin B Biosynthesis Pathways in the Phytoparasitic Nematode Heterodera Glycines
… in the de novo biosynthesis and salvage of the B vitamins: B1, B5, B6, and B7. Each of these de novo pathways are believed to have been lost in most animals and their similarity to bacterial homologues made them candidates for horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Each gene had eukaryotic-like introns …

A High Fiber Diet Versus a Low-Carbohydrate Diet for Weight Loss in Obese Individuals With or Without Type 2 Diabetes
… fiber dieters consumed significantly fewer B-vitamins, whereas low-carbohydrate dieters consumed significantly more sodium, cholesterol, and total fat than those in the high fiber group. Therefore, the proatherogenic effects of a low-carbohydrate may need to be further examined in future …

The nutritional characteristics and requirements of a butyrivibrio
… Biotin, folic acid, and pyridoxal were essential vitamins, but the other eight B-vitamins examined were found to be neither stimulatory nor essential. Carbon dioxide was found to be required in relatively high concentration in order for growth to start in a medium devoid of rumen fluid. Purines, …
