In Vivo Interaction Between Health Food Supplements and Chemotherapeutic Agents on DNA Damage and Cell Production
… These results demonstrate that over-the-counter health supplements can alter of DNA and cause cell damage and can interact with chemotherapeutic agents, and that flow cytometric analysis is a rapid and reliable technique for screening the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of these products.

Characterization, Interaction and Chemoprevention of Potent Constituents From Grape Cell Culture
Grape and its cell culture extracts are rich in flavonoids and stilbenes that are biologically active. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate catalytic inhibition of grape (a Vitis hybrid 'Bailey Alicant A') cell culture extract and subfractions on human DNA topoisomerase II for cancer …

The Role of Microbiota in Formation and Bioavailability of Sulforaphane From Glucoraphanin in F344 Rats
In conclusion, the cecum in the rat is the major site of fermentation by microbiota. Since the colon is right next to the cecum, colonic NQO1 induction as well as cecal inflammation indicate that cecal microbiota may play an important role in the hydrolysis to bioactive SF from GRP. However, the …

Role of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitors in Estrogen Regulation of Adipogenesis
Adipose tissue is responsive to steroid hormones like estrogen. Loss of estrogen receptor a (ERalpha) caused a 100% increase in adipose tissue, indicating the importance of ERalpha signaling. ERalpha knockout mice (alphaERKO) mice have intact ERbeta signaling. Removal of ERbeta/estrogen signaling …

Worksite Physical Activity and Nutrition
… diet have been shown to produce numerous health benefits. Despite many benefits, the majority of the American population does not meet the recommended guidelines for physical activity and nutrition behaviors. Worksite settings represent a potentially ideal setting through which health …

The Agricultural Household in Bangladesh: A Disaggregated Empirical Analysis With Particular Emphasis on the Demand for Food Calories
The motivation for the third chapter is to find empirical support to justify increased rate of rural and urban migration. Here we estimate the pattern of consumption behavior of urban and rural households and look for existing differences. Using Todaro's model of expected wages for a migrant …

Impact of Dietary Composition and Beta-Carotene Isomeric Structure on Bioconversion of Beta-Carotene to Vitamin a in Gerbils
In conclusion, betaC bioconversion to VA was independently and adversely affected by consumption of low dietary fat and citrus pectin. 9-Cis betaC was less and 13cbetaC was more than the currently assigned retinol equivalency of 50% of atbetaC. Thus, the actual contribution of betaC to the VA …

The Soy Isoflavone, Genistein, as a Modulator of Intestinal Development
… which may have implications for the intestinal health of infants and requires further investigation.

Factors Affecting Viscosity of Select Dietary Fibers, Complete Food Matrices, and Canine Ileal Digesta
Little data exist on the influence of dietary factors on viscosity of gastrointestinal tract contents. In addition, a standardized method of gastrointestinal tract viscosity measurement has not been established. In Study 1, fibers were subjected to a two-stage in vitro gastric and small intestinal …

Insight Into the Metabolism of Lycopene: Focus on Androgen -Dependent Tissues
This research has shown that lyc metabolites accumulate in the prostate, seminal vesicles and adrenal gland compared to the other analyzed tissues. Moreover, modulated carotenoid cleavage enzyme(s) expression in the adrenal, prostate and kidney suggested that the accumulated lyc metabolites in …

Intestinal Development and Gene Expression of Piglets Suckling Sows Transgenic for Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I
We have shown that piglets suckling IGF exhibit structural and functional changes similar to those observed in piglets receiving formula supplemented with IGF-I. The location and timing of the response to IGF-I differs from previous studies. Insulin like growth factor-I appeared to act via the type …

Modulation of the Expression of Multidrug Resistance Proteins by Sulforaphane and Erucin
Sulforaphane increases gene expression through binding of the Nrf2 transcription factor to the antioxidant response element (ARE) in the promoter region of target genes. Because SF and ER increased MRP1 expression at the mRNA level, we investigated the impact of these compounds on MRP1 …

In Vitro and in Vivo Modulation of Rotavirus Infection by Soy Isoflavones
… of other cost effective strategies including nutritional interventions to reduce the incidence or severity of rotavirus infections is still needed. Currently, about 25% of formula-fed infants in the U.S. are fed soy-based infant formulas containing naturally high concentration of isoflavones, …

Regulation of Estrogen Receptor Alpha Expression in Breast Cancer Cells by Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane (SUL, 1-isothiocyanato-4-(methylsulfinyl) butane) is an isothiocyanate (ITC) derived from glucoraphanin and is abundant in broccoli and broccoli sprouts and it has a variety of potential chemopreventive actions. SUL is capable of inhibiting cancer at both early (initiation) and late …

Prevention of Acute Pancreatitis by Broccoli Components
Acute pancreatitis is a common and refractory inflammatory disease affecting pancreatic acinar cells. Annually 300,000 patients are hospitalized. Attempts to halt the progression of the disease with anti-inflammatory drugs once pancreatitis has developed have been inconsistent. One promising area …

Regulation of Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism
Transcription factors, peroxisome proliferators activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1, are considered as the main regulators of fatty acid oxidation and synthesis, respectively, including metabolism of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs). …

Regulation of Energy Metabolism by Fructose in the Liver
In conclusion, fructose feeding induced a broader range of genes than previously identified with simultaneous increase in glycogen and triglycerides in liver. SREBP-1 and ChREBP, and possibly FoxO1, likely mediate gene induction by dietary fructose. The study also suggests that further ChREBP …
