Contributions of fat and protein to the incretin effect of a mixed meal.
Published in The American journal of clinical nutrition
Fat ingestion, in an amount typical of a standard meal, increases insulin secretion during physiologic hyperglycemia and thus contributes to the incretin effect. In contrast, ingestion of protein typical of normal meals does not contribute to the augmentation of postprandial insulin secretion. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT0...
Dairy attentuates oxidative and inflammatory stress in metabolic syndrome.
Published in The American journal of clinical nutrition
Oxidative and inflammatory stress are elevated in obesity and are further augmented in metabolic syndrome. We showed previously that dairy components suppress the adipocyte- and macrophage-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines and systemic oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers in obesity. The objective of this st...
Associations of gestational weight gain with maternal body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure measured ...
Published in The American journal of clinical nutrition
Little is known about associations of gestational weight gain (GWG) with long-term maternal health. We aimed to examine associations of prepregnancy weight and GWG with maternal body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 16 y after pregnancy. This is a prospective s...
Enteral administration of alanyl-[2-(15)N]glutamine contributes more to the de novo synthesis of arginine than does intr...
...Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Alanyl-glutamine contributes to the de novo synthesis of arginine, especially when provided enterally. A stable-isotope study using a therapeutic dose of alanyl-glutamine is needed to investigate the clinical implications of this finding.
Plasma phospholipid fatty acid profiles and their association with food intakes: results from a cross-sectional study wi...
...Published in The American journal of clinical nutrition
Plasma phospholipid fatty acids have been correlated with food intakes in populations with homogeneous dietary patterns. However, few data are available on populations with heterogeneous dietary patterns. The objective was to investigate whether plasma phospholipid fatty acids are suitable biomarkers of dietary intakes across populations involved i...
Blood lipid concentrations of docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acids at birth determine their relative postnatal changes ...
Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
The status of 22:6n-3 and 20:4n-6 at birth in term infants is one of the major determinants of postnatal changes in these fatty acids. This finding indicates that research is required to characterize environmental, genetic, or both factors, which, in addition to maternal diet, could influence fatty acid status at birth.
Twenty-four-hour L-[1-(13)C]tyrosine and L-[3,3-(2)H2]phenylalanine oral tracer studies at generous, intermediate, and l...
Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Daily pattern and rates of whole-body tyrosine oxidation and phenylalanine hydroxylation were determined in young adults (15 men, 1 woman) receiving [13C]tyrosine and [(2)H2]phenylalanine via primed, constant oral infusion and [(2)H4]tyrosine by vein (five subjects also received [(2)H3]leucine simultaneously by vein) continuously for 24 h (12 h fas...
