▼ In the United States, the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency is 3-26%, depending on the diagnostic criteria used. Although the value placed on vitamin B12 concentrations in the blood has focused on the vitamin's role in preventing anemia, the prevention of low and marginal vitamin B12 status also is important because these conditions can lead to serious neurologic and neuropsychiatric abnormalities in adults and the elderly, even without associated anemia. Besides malabsorption, adherence to a vegetarian diet may contribute to inadequate vitamin B12 intake. The objectives of this study were to examine: 1) the association between dietary factors (B12 from supplements, fortified foods, and foods from animal sources) and biomarkers of vitamin B12 status (holotranscobalamin or holoTC and serum vitamin B12 concentrations) among vegetarian and non-vegetarian participants of the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) Calibration Study after adjusting for confounding variables; and 2) to identify which nutrients and demographic characteristics are associated with homocysteine concentration after adjusting for confounding factors. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using secondary data from the calibration study (n=1,011) of the Adventist Health Study 2. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple linear regressions were used for analyses. Study participants had a median age of 58 years (age range 29 to 94 years), approximately 50% were white, and 66% were females. Study results showed that supplements containing vitamin B12 were positively associated (p<0.001) with plasma vitamin B12 concentrations, particularly in the upper tertile. Vitamin B12 from fortified foods and milk substitutes was positively associated with plasma B12 concentrations in all subjects, and B12 from milk substitutes was positively associated with holoTC in non-vegetarians but not in lacto-ovo vegetarians. Among those who did not use B12 supplements, B12 from fortified foods was positively associated (p=0.004) with holoTC and serum B12 (p=0.033), while B12 from milk substitutes was positively associated (p=0.001) with holoTC and serum B12 (p=0.007). Age (p <0.001 for all subjects) and gender (p<0.001) were significant demographic characteristics associated with homocysteine concentrations within this population. Total folate intake from diet and supplements (p<0.001) were strongly inversely associated with homocysteine independent of confounding factors, followed by total vitamin B12 (p=0.001), and B6 intake (p<0.001) among all subjects. Intake of vitamin B12 was significantly inversely associated with homocysteine in non-vegetarians, but serum vitamin B12 and holoTC were significantly inversely associated with homocysteine in all subjects. In conclusion, B12 from supplements, fortified foods, and milk substitutes may improve the vitamin B12 status of the population. Besides age and gender, intake of total folate, and vitamins B12 and B6 were inversely associated with…

▼ Effects of acute bouts of continuous versus accumulated exercise of isocaloric energy expenditure on blood lipids, lipoproteins and related enzyme activities. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if exercise, whether continuous (CE: completed all in one session) or intermittent (completed in either two (IE 2) or three (IE 3) exercise sessions) expending the same number of calories produced similar changes in the lipid/lipoprotein profile as well as transport enzymes. Methods: Sixteen healthy (22±2.1 year old) men (VO2 max = 37.0±3.3 mL∙kg∙min-1) randomly completed three exercise trials, CE, IE 2 and IE 3, expending 450 calories. Baseline data were collected in the evening and included anthropometric measurements, diet records and venous blood samples. The CE trial was done during one continuous time period and the intermittent trials were separated by 4-5 hrs all over the course of one day between the hours of 7 am and 9 pm. In addition to baseline blood samples were drawn immediately post exercise (IPE) and 24 and 48 hours following exercise. Each exercise trial sample was analyzed for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and subfractions (HDL-C2, HDL-C3). Samples were also analyzed to determine LDL-C particle size, lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase activity (LCATa) and cholesterol ester transfer protein activity (CETPa). Results: While no significant alterations in HDL-C and LDL-C were observed HDL-C2 was shown to increase compared to baseline by 44% for CE 48 hours post exercise, 44% for IE 2 48 hours post exercise, 39% for IE 3 IPE and continued to rise for IE 3 48 hours post exercise by 66%. Furthermore, LCATa was significantly increased compared to baseline by 12% for CE 48 hours post exercise and 12% IE 3 48 hours post exercise. Furthermore, there was a 10% increase when comparing CE IPE to CE 48 hours post exercise, a 3% increase between IE 2 24 hours post exercise and IE 2 48 hours post exercise, a 2% increase between IE 3 IPE and IE 3 24 hours post exercise and an 11% increase when comparing IE 3 24 hours post exercise and IE 3 48 hours post exercise. No other significant differences were found. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that whether the exercise is continuous or intermittent, keeping calorie expenditure the same, causes significant changes in the HDL-C2 subfraction, which was augmented by an increase in LCATa.

▼ Background: Being overweight or obese is associated with increased sympathetic activity and decreased vascular function which increases the cardiovascular risk. Current research has shown that conventional aerobic, resistance, and isometric exercise training has the capacity to elicit improvements in autonomic and cardiovascular function. Recently, exercise with whole-body vibration (WBV) has become of high interest to researchers in the field of exercise physiology due to its beneficial effects on bone mineral density, muscle mass, and muscle strength. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of WBV on arterial and cardiac autonomic function in overweight and obese (OV/OB; Body mass index 28.3 ± 0.9 kg/m2) women. Methods: In a cross over design, eight young (21 ± 2 yr) OV/OB women were randomly assigned to either WBV training (WBVT) 3 days per week or 6 weeks of no-exercise (CON). After their assigned treatment period, the subjects underwent a 4 week washout period before beginning their next 6 week treatment period (either WBVT or CON). At the beginning and end of each period, brachial blood pressure (BP), heart rate variability (HRV), augmentation index (AIx), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were obtained at rest and 3 min after (PE3) a 4 min bout of static squat with WBV at 30 Hz frequency and 1.0 mm amplitude. Maximal strength (1-RM) was assessed for the leg extension exercise. Measurements were repeated 6 week after WBVT and CON. Results: There were significant decreases (p < 0.05) in resting systolic BP (SBP, 8 ± 5 mmHg) and diastolic BP (4 ± 2 mmHg) after WBVT compared with CON (p < 0.05). There were significant decreases (p < 0.05) in heart rate (7 ± 4 bpm), SBP (5 ± 4 mmHg), and mean arterial pressure (7 ± 3 mmHg) at PE3 after WBVT compared with CON (p < 0.05). There was a significant increase (p < 0.01) in 1-RM (12 kg) after WBVT, but not after CON. There were no changes in HRV, AIx, and PWV after both WBVT and CON. Conclusion: These preliminary data indicate that 6 weeks of WBVT elicits reductions in resting and post-exercise BP in overweight-obese women. In addition, lower post-exercise HR suggests that cardiovagal regulation may improve after WBVT. Future research is needed to further evaluate this exercise mode as a potential adjunct treatment for cardiovascular diseases.

▼ This study evaluated an after-school and a school-based program aimed at improving the dietary and physical activity patterns of youth in Georgia. Both programs utilized community-academic partnerships and community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods. Participants self-reported dietary and physical activity patterns pre- and post-intervention. Researchers measured height and weight of the after-school program participants pre- and post-intervention. No significant changes in dietary or physical activity patterns were reported for participants of the after-school program. Additionally, there were no significant changes in BMI. Site was significantly associated with behaviors, with site 3 consuming significantly more fruits, vegetables, healthy and unhealthy foods. Site 3 also reported participating in significantly more physical and sedentary activities. BMI was significantly negatively associated with consumption of fruits, vegetables and healthy foods as well as participation in physical activities. Age was significantly positively associated with being sedentary. The school-based program targeted both students and their parents. Students reported a significant increase in physical activity at school and a significant decrease in screen time. Students also reported a significant decrease in consumption of fruits. Female participants reported consuming significantly more fruit and participating in significantly fewer hours of screen time. Participants from school 2 consumed significantly more fruits and vegetables, but scored significantly lower for physical activity knowledge. Participants from school 3 scored significantly higher for nutrition knowledge, but reported participating in significantly less physical activity at school. Finally, participants from school 5 scored significantly higher for physical activity knowledge. Parents reported participating in significantly more physical activity overall and with their child/children. Parents also reported that their children participated in significantly more physical activity both at school and outside of school. There were significant increases in the reported frequency of reading nutrition labels and the number of nutrients parents considered when purchasing a food item. Findings from this study suggest that after-school programs can improve the dietary and physical activity patterns of youth. School-based programs can influence behaviors and knowledge of both students and parents. Community-academic partnerships and CBPR are viable means of creating and implementing effective nutrition and physical activity interventions targeting youth and their parents.

▼ Prospective studies and animal research suggest that apple or its bioactive components modulate lipid metabolism, and reduce fat mass and the production of proinflammatory molecules. However, there is a paucity of such research in humans. Hence, we conducted a one-year clinical trial evaluating the cardioprotective effects of apple consumption in postmenopausal women. We hypothesized that regular intake of apple favorably improves lipid profiles, reduces atherogenic risk ratios, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and the levels of oxidative stress markers in postmenopausal women. This study was conducted in postmenopausal women because a decline in estrogen levels places them at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Qualified women (160) were randomly assigned to one of the two dietary intervention groups: dried apple (75 g/day) or dried plum (comparative control). Overnight fasting blood samples were collected at baseline, 3-, 6-, and 12-month to measure various parameters. Confounding factors that may influence lipid metabolism such as physical activity and dietary intake were also assessed. The findings indicated that daily incorporation of dried fruits into diet did not affect total energy intake throughout the study period. More importantly, the additional daily caloric intake of approximately 240 from dried apple not only did not increase body weight but lowered it by 1.5 kg compared to baseline body weight. In terms of lipid profiles, apple consumption significantly reduced serum levels of TC and LDL-C by 14% and 23%, respectively. In addition, atherogenic risk ratios such as TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C decreased in postmenopausal women that consumed dried apple compared to control. The present study also suggests that regular apple consumption improves other important parameters involved in CVD such as reducing lipid hydroperoxide (33%) and CRP (32%) levels. In conclusion, regular apple consumption is encouraged because of its favorable effects on lipid profiles, oxidative status, and proinflammatory molecules.

▼ The relationship between body composition and bone mineral density in women Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between body composition (fat and lean mass), body weight, body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in women across the age span. Methods: 1046 healthy Caucasian women (49.9 ± 15.9 years old) were recruited and categorized to four age groups, ranging from 18 to 35 years old, 35 years to before the age of menopause, menopause to 65 years and over 65 years old. Each different age group was further categorized according to subjects' body mass index (BMI < 25, BMI =25-30, and BMI > 30). Measurements included anthropometrics, body composition and BMC/BMD by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results: Subjects in the younger groups were taller, weight less and had greater total body BMC/BMD and BMD at spine, femoral neck, and total femur (p<0.05) compared with older subjects. Obese women had higher total lean and fat mass, and the highest BMD/BMC in all skeletal sites (p<0.05) among different age groups. Weight, BMI, total lean, and total fat mass were positively correlated with total body BMC/BMD, BMD of all skeletal sites among different age groups. The results from multiple linear regression models revealed that weight was a significant predictor of total body BMC/BMD, BMD of all skeletal sites in women of different age groups, gonadal status, and different BMI, except overweight women. Both lean and fat mass were important determinants of total body BMC/BMD, BMD at femur and forearm in premenopausal women though total lean mass had greater effect than total fat mass. Total fat mass was the only significant predictor of total body BMC/BMD, BMD at other sites in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, total fat mass became more important with the increased body weight. Further analysis of covariance in subjects stratified by body weight and percent body fat revealed that high percent body fat seemed to have negative effect on bone mass in total body BMC/BMD and BMD at spine, femoral neck and forearm when mechanical loading effect of body weight was controlled. Conclusions: These results show that overweight/obese women had higher BMD in all skeletal sites than normal-weight women. Lean mass was an important predictor of BMD in premenopausal women and fat mass became more important in postmenopausal women. Higher fat mass however, may not have beneficial effect on bone mass when mechanical loading of weight is accounted for. Advisors/Committee Members: Ilich-Ernst, Jasminka Z.

▼ Effective waste management has always posed a challenge to those in food service operations. This study investigated the amount of food waste from Bon Secours St. Francis Health System foodservice operations using the Trim Trax¨ program. Trim Trax¨ is a food waste management program in which employees measure the volume of waste produced in pre-production and post-production areas. The objectives of this study were to collect the amount of waste produced during meal preparations and compare it with three weeks of retrospective data kept by employees in the salad/baking pre-production area, the cooking/grilling pre-production area and post-production area. Results showed a significant difference between the collected (26.38, 49.10 and 32.71 quarts for the salad/baking pre-production cooking/grilling pre-production area and post-production areas respectively) and employee reported data (19.14, 30.38 and 9.88 quarts, for the salad/baking pre-production cooking/grilling pre-production area and post-production areas respectively) over the three week period. It was also found that lettuce (6.33 quarts), onion (10.24 quarts) and tomatoes, zucchini and onion (~3.80 quarts each) accounted for the most waste in the salad/baking area, cooking/grilling pre-production area and post-production area. Overall, the results indicated that even though the data obtained in both cases (reported and collected) were similar by produce type, there was a marked difference in the total waste obtained over three weeks in all three areas (salad/baking pre-production, cooking/grilling pre-production and post-production). This could be due to a lack of proper training or the lack of understanding of proper waste disposal practices. Thus, developing an educational intervention that effectively utilizes the Trim Trax ¨ program could help in managing inventory and reducing food waste within the food service operation.

▼ Neurogenesis is the process of stem cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Recent research has confirmed the presence of ongoing neurogenesis throughout life in humans. This fact has led to vast interest in the mechanisms that underlie this process. Manipulation of adult neurogenesis has the potential to enhance the treatment of a multitude of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and depression as well as injury and stroke. Previous work has shown that the essential trace metal zinc regulates neuronal precursor proliferation and survival. Thus, this work is based on the central hypothesis that zinc is also needed for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore we proposed that transforming growth factor signaling may be involved in the zinc regulated mechanisms of differentiation. Zinc deficiency (ZD; 0.4µM) impaired the ability of neuronal precursor cells (NT2) to differentiate into mature neurons (NT2-N) when exposed to 2 wks of 10µM retinoic acid (RA), as measured by the early neuronal marker TuJ1. Additionally, we demonstrated a differential regulation of Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) receptor isoforms type I (RI) and II (RII) under zinc deficient (0.4µM) conditions in NT2 cells undergoing RA-induced differentiation. Measurements of TGF-β RI and RII in zinc adequate (ZA; 2.5µM) differentiated NT2-N neurons showed that neither receptor isoform was expressed in these cells. TGF-β RI was up-regulated in NT2-N cells in response to ZD (0.4µM) however, while TGF-β RII remained down-regulated under ZD (0.4µM) conditions, as demonstrated via TGF-β RI and RII immunocytochemistry. These data confirmed that ZD (0.4µM) does impair RA-induced differentiation of human NT2 neuronal cells. There is also evidence that a differential regulation of the TGF-β receptor I and II isoforms may be involved in this mechanism, as the loss of RII expression in ZD (0.4µM) NT2-N cells could be responsible for a decline in TGF-β signaling in these cells and thus an attenuated cellular response to TGF-β responsive genes. This research suggests an important role for TGF-β and the trace metal zinc in regulating neuronal differentiation, and helps to improve understanding of adult neurogenesis in the human brain.

▼ Background and Significance: The postmenopausal period is characterized by ovarian hormone deficiency which increases the production of pro-inflammatory molecules with a concomitant rise in oxidative stress levels. This cascade of events negatively affect bone metabolism with a subsequent development of osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures. Ovarian hormone deficiency is also linked to greater incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), in part, due to compromised endothelial function which may result in elevated blood pressure (BP), a major modifiable risk for CVD. Although osteoporosis and hypertension are commonly regarded as two separate chronic diseases, their pathophysiology appear to be linked as prospective studies have demonstrated a correlation between decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and hypertension. Even though a number of medications are available to treat these conditions, they are not free of side effects. Thus, a considerable number of people prefer alternative and/or complementary therapies such as functional foods and dietary supplements over conventional treatment options. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased incidence of chronic diseases which is mainly attributed to the polyphenol content of these foods. Strawberries are widely consumed in the United States and are reported to have a high phenolic content which confers to them strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilator properties. Objective: The main objective of this eight-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was to investigate the extent to which daily consumption of strawberries would favorably alter blood biomarkers of bone metabolism and reduce BP by improving endothelial function in pre- and stage 1-hypertensive postmenopausal women. Furthermore, we aimed to determine whether increases in antioxidant capacity and decreases in inflammatory markers were, in part, responsible for strawberries' protective effects on bone and endothelium. Methods: Sixty women (age: 59.63 ± 5.31 years; body mass index [BMI]: 31.9 ± 4.8 kg/m2; BMD: 1.15 ± 0.13 g/cm2, systolic BP: 139 ± 13 mmHg, diastolic BP: 79 ± 7 mmHg [means ± SDs]) were randomly assigned to one of three groups (n=20 per group): (1) placebo-control, (2) 25g of freeze-dried strawberry powder (FDSP; equivalent to 1½ cups of sliced fresh strawberries), and (3) 50g of FDSP (equivalent to 3 cups of sliced fresh strawberries). Body composition and BMD of whole body, lumbar spine, hip, and forearm as well as body composition were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. BP was assessed using an automatic device. Blood biomarkers of bone metabolism, endothelial function, oxidative stress, and inflammation were assessed using immunoassay and colorimetric kits. Dietary and physical activity patterns were also monitored over the course of the study using validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures analysis of variance. Results: As anticipated, there… Advisors/Committee Members: Arjmandi, Bahram H. (professor directing dissertation), Figueroa, Arturo (committee member), Tenenbaum, Gershon (committee member).

▼ Fish allergy is a worldwide problem, especially in industrialized countries where fish consumption is high. Fish contains a wide variety of proteins but, only few of them are responsible for triggering an allergic reaction. The major fish allergen, parvalbumin, is a low molecular weight (10-13 kD) heat-stable protein. High homology in amino acid sequences and antibody cross-reactivities have been demonstrated for parvalbumin in different fish species. Although several detection methods based on specific antibodies or DNA amplification are currently employed for detection of allergic components in food products, there is limited number of studies reporting methods for the detection of fish allergens. This study aimed to investigate the antigen binding characteristics of a monoclonal antibody (MAb) 3E1 by comparing its immunoreactivity against various fish and other animal species with a commercially available anti-frog parvalbumin monoclonal antibody (PARV-19) to evaluate the usefulness of MAb 3E1 as a anti-fish parvalbumin reagent. MAb 3E1 was previously developed in our laboratory against heat-treated catfish crude sarcoplasmic protein extract. The antigen binding characteristics of this antibody was investigated by comparing its immunoreactivity against soluble proteins extracts from various cooked fish and other animal meats with MAb PARV-19. Non-competitive indirect ELISA was performed to examine the immunoreactivity of both MAb 3E1 and MAb PARV-19 with sample extracts. Western blot was performed to compare the antigenic protein banding patterns in cooked fish extracts using these two MAbs. Results showed that MAb 3E1 cross reacted with majority of tested fish species and recognized a thermal-stable protein with a molecular weight range of parvalbumin in the extracts. Moreover, ELISA and western blot results revealed that both MAbs 3E1 and PARV-19 had almost identical reaction patterns to the fish species tested. The antigenic protein banding pattern in various fish species blotted by MAb 3E1 corresponds to the molecular weights of parvalbumins recognized by PARV-19. Additionally, both antibodies recognized exactly the same antigenic protein, parvalbumin, but their epitopes (binding sites) overlaped to the extend causing inhibitive binding on the protein. However, screening with non-finfish extracts revealed MAb 3E1 to be strictly finfish specific, while PARV-19 cross-reacted with frog, rat and rabbit extracts. The results obtained in this study clearly indicate that MAb 3E1 is specific to fish parvalbumin. It would, therefore, be a useful probe for investigating the major fish allergen in both raw and processed food.

▼ Caffeine is the most commonly used drug in the world, often consumed in the form of coffee, sodas, teas, energy drinks, and chocolate. It is also generally regarded as very safe to consume. As one of the most thoroughly investigated sport supplements, it has been well established as an ergogenic aid for endurance performance, and has been shown to increase time to exhaustion, increase mean power output during time trials, and decrease perceived exertion. The effects of caffeine on measures of muscular endurance and repeated anaerobic performance are currently much more equivocal, and elicit further investigation. The first purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Red Bull Energy Drink (2.0mg CAF/kg BW) on anaerobic power using repeated Wingate cycle performance compared to a placebo. Additionally, this study sought to determine the effects of Red Bull Energy Drink on elbow flexor muscle endurance compared to a placebo. The study used a double-blind, repeated-measures, crossover, counter-balanced design. The eighteen male subjects that participated in this study were between 18 and 35 years old, with a mean age of 23.4 years. They had a mean weight of 81.3 ± 10.2 kg, mean height of 1.81 ± 0.08 m, and mean BMI of 24.76 ± 2.89 kg/m2. Three to seven days after the familiarization trial, subjects will be randomly assigned to supplement with Red Bull (2.0 mg/kg caffeine) or an isovolumetric amount of placebo (non-caffeinated Mountain Dew) 60 minutes before performing the exercise tests. The Subjects performed three sets of maximal isokinetic elbow flexion for 60 seconds at 0.52 rad/s (separated by two minute rest intervals) on the Biodex System 3 Isokinetic Dynamometer. Following the isokinetic testing, subjects performed three 30-s Wingate anaerobic cycle tests (separated by two minute rest intervals) at a load corresponding to 0.075 kpal/kg body mass (Bar-Or, 1987). There was no significant difference found for Peak Torque or Decline in Peak Torque for elbow flexor muscle endurance compared to placebo. No significant difference was found in Peak Power and Mean Power for the Wingate Anaerobic Test. There was a significantly (p<0.05) greater decline in Mean Power and Relative Mean Power for Red Bull compared to placebo, inferring that there may be a detrimental effect on repeated anaerobic performance following ingestion. Decline in mean power from the first to the third set of Wingate testing was 182.15 +/- 59.97 W for Red Bull trials, and 153.87 +/- 67.08 W for placebo trials. The relative decline in mean power relative to each subject's body weight for Wingate testing was 2.25 +/- 0.751 W/kg for Red Bull trials, and 1.88 +/- 0.777 W/kg for placebo trials. While there is unlikely one single mechanism explaining the findings from this study, results may be partially explained by increased concentrations of lactate in either the blood or muscle, or lowered concentrations of plasma potassium following caffeine ingestion compared to placebo.

▼ HMB intake during Resistance Training (RT) is known to be an effective strategy to improve muscle mass & function and decrease FM. PURPOSE: To determine whether HMB administration during 10-wk RT would facilitate RT-induced improvement in neuromuscular functions, body composition, myofiber dimension and regenerative capacity in aged female rats. METHODS: After four animals were sacrificed for baseline muscle samples, twelve 19-month old female Sprague-Dawley rats (N=16) were randomly divided into two groups, HMB (0.46 g/kg/d, similar to 6 g/d in humans) and non-HMB. Both groups were trained every 3 day for 10 wks on ladder climbing exercise with weights attached to the tail. The MW, GS, inclined plane test were used to measure neuromuscular functions. Body composition was assessed by DXA before and after RT. DTI determined water diffusion in myofibers by calculating FA and eigenvalues. Muscle mRNA expressions of the regulators of myogenesis, mitogenesis, and cell cycle inhibition were analyzed using RT-PCR. The number of satellite cells and myonuclei associated with muscle regeneration capacity were analyzed using Pax7-stained stem-cell immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: There were significant (p 0.05). Although a main group effect for soleus myogenin mRNA approached significance (p=0.07), post hoc analysis showed significant increases in both HMB (+32%) and non-HMB (+40%) (p < 0.05). Soleus SC significantly increased in both HMB (+108%) and non-HMB (+100%) (p < 0.05) with no significant between group differences. Soleus MN also increased in both HMB (+32.2%) and non-HMB (+31.8%) (p < 0.05) with no significant between group differences. RSC for soleus muscle significantly increased in both HMB (+51.5%) and non-HMB (+46.4%) (p < 0.05) with no significant between group differences. CONCLUSION: HMB did not to exert any additive improvements in all parameters during 10 wks of intensive RT in aged female rats. The excessive effects resulting from this intense RT protocol maybe far exceeded our expectations. Intriguingly, however, our findings indicated that HMB administration during RT can facilitate a reduction in fat mass. Thus, intense RT alone might serve as an effective strategy to promote body composition, functionality, and myofiber hypertrophy in aged skeletal muscle.

▼ Almonds (Prunus dulcis L.) are the most widely consumed tree nuts in the USA besides USA also being the number one global producer of almonds. Although almonds can be consumed without any adverse effects by the majority of the population, a few susceptible individuals develop allergic symptoms following the ingestion of almonds. Almond allergies are the third most common of all tree nut allergies, affecting ~15% of the tree nut allergic population in the USA. Several proteins of almonds have been identified as being allergenic, including almond major protein (AMP) or amandin which is a major allergen of almonds. However, although several glycoproteins of almonds have been biochemically characterized, the potential allergenicity of most almond glycoproteins are yet to be elucidated. In the present study select almond glycoproteins were partially purified and characterized. Glycoproteins which comprise less than 2% of the total soluble proteins of almonds were purified and separated from the non-glycoprotein fraction using affinity chromatography and were further resolved in to 3 peaks when passed through a gel filtration column. The 3 glycoprotein peaks (glycoproteins A, B and C) were partially characterized biochemically and immunologically in this study. SDS- PAGE analysis under reducing conditions showed that both glycoproteins A and B had 3 major peptide bands in addition to several minor peptides. The 3 major bands of glycoprotein A had molecular masses of ~13 kDa, ~22 kDa and ~44 kDa. The major peptides of glycoprotein B were found to have molecular weights of ~12 kDa, ~34 kDa and ~62 kDa. Glycoprotein C was composed of a single major peptide of ~62 kDa and also of several minor peptides ranging from ~11 kda to ~55 kDa. The major peptides at ~62 kDa of glycoproteins B and C were identified as prunasin hydrolase and hydroxynitrile lyase, respectively by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. All three glycoproteins A, B and C were immunoreactive with polyclonal antibodies raised against whole almonds in rabbit. However, none of the 3 glycoproteins were recognized by the monoclonal antibodies 4C10 and 4F10 raised against AMP of almonds. Dot blot analysis of glycoproteins with human IgE from almond allergic patients resulted in the recognition of glycoprotein B by 6 of the 11 (53%) patient sera tested. 3 of the 11 samples (27%) reacted with glycoprotein A while most patient sera did not show any reactivity with glycoprotein C. Deglycosylation resulted in a significant loss of immunoreactivity of all 3 glycoproteins indicating the possibility of carbohydrate moieties playing a role in their immunoreactivity.

University of Minnesota M.S. thesis. June 2010. Major: Nutrition. Advisor: Kim Robien. 1 computer file (PDF); v, 23 pages.

Background: Folate has widespread importance to health due to its role in one-carbon metabolism. Folate status and genetic variants in the folate uptake and metabolism pathways have been assessed in relation to numerous disease processes, especially colon cancer and cardiovascular disease. The enzymes folylpolyglutamate synthase (FPGS) and gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH) are essential for maintaining intracellular folate homeostasis. FPGS adds glutamyl groups to the folate molecule, which is essential for cellular retention of folate. The polyglutamted form of folate metabolites is the preferred substrate for many one-carbon metabolism enzymes. GGH removes glutamyl groups, which allows folate to leave the cell. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FPGS and GGH genes influence plasma folate and homocysteine levels. Methods: Study participants were a sub-cohort (n = 484) from the Singapore Chinese Health Study. SNPs were selected using a literature review, HapMap, and SNPPer. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the association between the SNPs and plasma folate and homocysteine levels. Results: Two FPGS (rs10106, rs1098774) and 9 GGH (rs1031552, rs11545076, rs1800909, rs3758149, rs3780126, rs3824333, rs4617146, rs11545078, rs719235) SNPs were included in the final analysis. None of the FPGS or GGH SNPs were associated with plasma folate levels. Similarly, none of the FPGS SNPs were associated with plasma homocysteine, but three GGH SNPs were associated with plasma homocysteine levels: rs11545076 (p = 0.02), rs1800909 (p = 0.03), and rs3758149 (p = 0.04). In all three, the homozygous variant alleles were associated with lower plasma homocysteine values. Conclusions: It appears that genetic variation in GGH may be influential in determining circulating homocysteine levels, and thus, may influence intracellular folate homeostasis rather than circulating folate levels. Since this is one of the first studies to assess these genetic variants in relation to plasma folate and homocysteine, further research is needed to explore these variants and to better characterize the role of genetic variation in intracellular folate homeostasis.

University of Minnesota M.S. thesis. May 2010. Major: Nutrition. Advisor: Joanne L. Slavin, PHD, RD. 1 computer file (PDF); vii, 75 pages, appendices A-D.

Epidemiological studies strongly support the role of fiber in the control of obesity. Fiber is suggested to influence mechanisms of satiety and reduce energy intake. The postabsorptive fermentation of fiber in the large intestine may be linked to the satiating effects observed. The following work focuses on an intervention study using a rapidly fermentable fiber to examine this relationship. In this study we hypothesized that a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) would increase satiety and decrease energy intake at a subsequent meal with a dosedependent response. Additional aims were to determine its influence on 24-hour energy intake, gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance, and breath hydrogen response. Healthy men and women participated in this randomized double-blind, crossover study. On three separate occasions subjects consumed 0 g, 5 g, or 8 g of scFOS in a beverage and proceeded to use visual analogue scales (VAS) to rate satiety over four hours. Ad libitum energy intake was then assessed. Subjects later consumed a consistent dose in solid form. Energy intake over 24 hours, GI tolerance, and breath hydrogen measures were obtained. Contrary to our hypothesis no significant differences were observed in satiety or energy intakes. As expected, breath hydrogen response indicated significant fermentation within four hours of scFOS ingestion; however, this did not influence tolerance, as GI symptoms did not differ significantly between treatments. This study provides evidence that not all types of fiber significantly influence satiety. The physiological actions of one fiber type may not extend to others. It is important to increase the specificity with which health benefits are assigned to specific fiber types, and to conceptualize fiber as a complex group of substances with diverse actions rather than as a single nutritional entity.
