▼ Adequate
nutrition is essential for optimal athletic performance. College athletes have a demonstrated lack of
nutrition knowledge and dietary intake, potentially increasing their risk for injuries and difficulty healing necessitating a
nutrition education program specifically for this population. The objectives of this study were to develop and deliver
nutrition education SMS/text messages that promote self-efficacy and to evaluate the effects of the intervention on participant self-efficacy, dietary intake, and body composition. Baseline data was collected from 27 college athletes (18 male soccer players, 9 female basketball players) at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. Measurements included a self-efficacy questionnaire, 3-day diet records, and percent body fat assessed using bio-impedance analysis (BIA) taken at three time points: pre and post intervention and 25 weeks following the intervention. Four focus groups were used to gather information on topics of interest to inform the development of the SMS/text messages. Intervention data from all three time points was collected from 16 participants for body composition, five participants for self-efficacy, and two participants for dietary intake. Results returned no significant main effects for group or time and no significant group x time interaction. High participant attrition rate and the short nature of the messages and intervention time contributed to a lack of significant results. Future research should focus on more personalized messages with increased message frequency and intervention duration.

▼ The numbers of the vegetarians in the United States (US) are steadily increasing, with 21% of college students are vegetarians. Vegetarian diet has been associated with lower risks of certain chronic diseases; however, vegetarians may have nutrient risks due to certain food limitation in their diets. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in dietary intake of vegetarians and omnivores diet in college students and to determine whether each diet group meets the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) of America. Thirty three18-35 years old college students completed five-day food and activity records, they were then grouped into vegetarian group (n=12) and omnivore group (n=21) based on the self-reported food records. The dietary intakes of both groups were then compared to the DRIs. Vegetarians had lower intakes of protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, selenium, and sodium; and higher intakes in fiber, vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin K, copper, and magnesium when compared to omnivores. Vegetarians did not reach the DRIs recommendation for n-3 PUFA, n-6 PUFA, vitamin D, calcium, chromium, selenium, and choline. Omnivores had lower intakes than RDIs in dietary fiber, vitamin D, folate, vitamin K, calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, molybdenum, and choline. At the macronutrient level, vegetarian diet was in better accordance with DRIs than omnivore diet. At the micronutrient level, both groups fall short in certain nutrients, suggesting a need for greater attention to ensure adequate diet of specific nutrients.

▼ 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.

▼ Diet is a modifiable factor in preventing disease and improving health among older adults. A convenience sample of older adults in senior centers across Georgia (N = 558, mean age = 75, 83% female, 53% African American) completed a pre-test, intervention, and post-test. Eight lessons given over 16 weeks included information on current guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake, and ways to increase fruit and vegetable intake at meals and snacks. Pre- and post-tests examined self-reported intake of fruits and vegetables at breakfast, lunch, evening meal and snacks, knowledge of recommended intakes, and barriers to intake. The following showed significant improvement after the intervention (P < 0.0001): the number of participants reporting they eat 7 or more fruits and vegetables daily increased by 21-percentage points, and knowledge that 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended daily (for 1,600 to 2,200 calories) increased from 7% to 57%. Significant decreases in three reported perceived barriers to consumption were found after the intervention (P < 0.05). Ninety-eight percent of participants reported that their satisfaction with the program was good, very good or excellent. In conclusion, this intervention improved knowledge and behaviors related to
nutrition in older adults.

▼ 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.

▼ ABSTRACT Participants in this study were 95 Clemson University student-athletes who were currently on the varsity men's and women's soccer, tennis, track and field, and swimming and diving who completed a survey on
nutrition knowledge and attitudes. The mean total point score on the survey was 17.48 + 1.71. The mean score on knowledge questions on the survey was 11.59 + 3.14 or 46.3%. Females had a slightly higher mean score (12.3+ 3.03 or 49.2%) than males (10.9 + 3.13 or 43.6%) on the knowledge questions. The mean score on attitude questions was 5.89+ 1.67 or 58.9%. Females had a slightly higher mean score (6.19 + 1.53 or 61.9%) than the males (5.60 + 1.76 or 56%) on the attitude questions. A multiple regression analysis for impact of sport, gender, class rank, previous
nutrition course, and eating situation on total score on the survey gave an overall R2 of 0.174 (F= 3.75, p= 0.004). There was no significant unique effect of class rank (p = 0.084), sport (p= 0.079), and eating situation (p= 0.079) for this model. The unique effect of gender (p= 0.003) and taking a
nutrition course (p= 0.036) were statistically significant. Even though the proposed model was statistically significant, it did not adequately predict performance on the survey. The model predicted that females were to score 2.5 points higher on the survey than males and that those who reported taking a
nutrition course in the past were to score 1.7 points lower than those who had not taken a
nutrition course. This most likely reflects the relatively small number who reported having taken a
nutrition course. Additional studies should include additional attitude questions and further define the role of
nutrition education on knowledge and attitudes of student-athletes.

▼ A review of worksite interventions revealed the scarcity of worksite interventions for the prevention of chronic diseases for which research data has been collected. Pre-diabetes is a condition that has been identified as an emerging chronic disease threat which is deserving of immediate attention as it precedes type 2 diabetes and it is becoming more common in the United States. The number of individuals with pre-diabetes has been estimated to be 54 million. As the worksite setting provides easy access to a large adult population it was chosen for this research study. A thorough review of prior worksite interventions was conducted followed by a focus group study which used qualitative methods to evaluate health behaviors and diabetes knowledge of employees in a South Carolina textile worksite. The results indicated that future worksite interventions need to address all aspects of an individual's lifestyle to be effective. Researchers will be able to use the results from this study to develop a tailored, diabetes prevention program that meets the specific needs of textile worksite employees in rural South Carolina.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine if there was any significant correlation between an athletes' knowledge, attitude, and behavior in regards to hydration and how well they maintained their level during preseason training. 74 athletes completed surveys that measured their knowledge, attitude, and behavior in regards to hydration. 59 athletes allowed monitoring of their hydration status via weight charts. Significant differences in knowledge and behavior scores were found between demographic variables such as class year, training intensity, and team. There were no significant correlations discovered between any of the survey scores and the data from the weight charts. Hydration is an important aspect of
nutrition, and should not be overlooked by anyone especially athletes. By continued education, and better monitoring of hydration status future problems with dehydration may be avoided.

▼ 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…

▼ 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.

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.

(PDF); viii, 80 pages, appendices 1-2.
The purpose of this Master’s thesis was to examine
the variability related to isoflavone metabolism in postmenopausal
women. The study involved 124 postmenopausal women who consumed 80
or 120 mg of isoflavones per day during a three year time period.
The isoflavones genistein, glycitein, daidzein, dihydrodaidzein
(DHD), O-desmethylangolensin (ODMA), and equol were extracted and
characterized from 24 h urinary samples. Overall, there was little
effect of time on the excretion of isoflavones. There was a
significant effect of treatment on the excretion of genistein,
glycitein, and ODMA where daily excretion was higher for the 120
mg/d group compared to the 80 mg/d group. Intra-individual
variability was high, with percent coefficients of variation (%CVs)
ranging from 32-64%. Inter-individual variability was found to be
higher than intra-individual variability, with %CVs ranging from
40-256%. Approximately 36% of the subjects were defined as equol
producers. In addition, approximately 16% of the women experienced
a change in equol-producing status which was found to be
significantly related to reported antibiotic use. Finally, equol
was the only metabolite for which excretion significantly decreased
with reported antibiotic use. In conclusion, isoflavone excretion
was found to be highly variable both within and between women.
Results from this study also indicate that antibiotic use has a
profound effect on the ability to produce equol.

computer file (PDF); viii, 93 pages.
Objective: This prospective observational study
examined changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the perception
of hunger and satiety in a group of patients with eating disorders
receiving treatment in a residential setting. Methods: Seventeen
women admitted at the Anna Westin House residential program, aged
18-41 (mean 27.2) years, were followed upon admission, each month
of treatment and a post-discharge follow-up. RMR measurements were
conducted via indirect calorimetry. Questionnaires were used to
assess eating disorder diagnosis, as well as physical sensations,
mood, and preoccupation with thoughts of food before and after
meals. Results: Upon admission 5 subjects had anorexia nervosa, 3
bulimia nervosa and 9 eating disorder not otherwise specified.
There was an increase in weight for the whole group between
admission and discharge but no change in RMR. A positive
correlation was noted between weight and RMR at admission and at
discharge. The percentage of subjects reporting having no gastric
feelings of hunger decreased between admission and discharge. At
discharge, there was a decrease in the percentage of subjects who
reported irritability, tenseness, depression and preoccupation with
thoughts of food around meals. Conclusions: The results suggest a
relationship between weight and RMR as well as a progression
towards normalization of the perception of hunger and satiety
throughout treatment. Further studies are needed to explore the
trends observed in this study, their etiology and treatment
implications.

This study used segmentation analyses to identify
seven distinct subgroups of U.S. midlife women (n=1684) based on
their attitudes toward food, its preparation and consumption.
Statistical analysis was completed to determine the influence of
attitude segments on body mass index (BMI) and food and nutrient
intake. Women completed a mailed survey including a 24 hour food
record and a questionnaire regarding physical activity, eating
attitudes and weight history. Mean age of the women was ~50 years
and they were mostly White (78%), currently married (71%) and
employed (70%). Obesity was influenced by attitude segments
(clusters of women sharing similar attitudes). Mean BMI was lower
for ‘Health Conscious’, ‘Creative Cooks’ and ‘Hate to Cook’
attitude segments compared to ‘Boredom Bingers’ and ‘Live to Eat’
attitude segments. Overall, ‘Health Conscious’ and ‘Creative Cook’
attitude segments had generally better nutrition profiles while
‘Boredom Bingers’ and ‘Live to Eat’ attitude segments had poor
nutrition profiles. Segmentation of women in this age group
according to eating attitudes may be used to deliver tailored
nutrition education which may prove to be effective in managing
weight and improving diet quality.

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.

occur in these populations pose unique challenges to available body
composition assessment techniques. In particular, there is a lack
of adequate field methods that are appropriate for clinical use
(i.e. rapid, convenient, inexpensive, and accurate). Bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) promises to be just such a method. This
thesis explores the topics of obesity and roux-en-Y gastric bypass
(RYGB) surgery, the body composition changes that occur after RYGB,
and methods used for assessment, with a particular focus on
advancing multi-frequency BIA (MF-BIA) and bioimpedance
spectroscopy (BIS) analysis.

Major: Nutrition. Advisor: Dr. Catherine Kotz. 1 computer file
(PDF); xi, 63 pages.
Within the brain, there are key feeding and
locomotion circuits that feature the signaling of numerous
peptides. Orexin A has been shown to have effects on feeding and
physical activity behaviors when administered centrally or in
several brain regions. This effect is site-specific and requires
the presence of orexin receptors. Our lab has studied the
behavioral effects of injecting orexin A into the dorsal rostral
portion of the lateral hypothalamus. We have previously observed an
acute increase in spontaneous physical activity as well as food
intake following injection of orexin A into this area. The acute
effect is also observed with bicuculline-mediated stimulation of
neurons in the rostrolateral hypothalamus. It is likely that there
are other peptide signaling systems which are downstream of orexin
receptor activation in the rostrolateral hypothalamus that are
responsible for the observed increase in spontaneous physical
activity. In chapter one, we chose to study neurotensin signaling
in the ventral tegmental area as a possible downstream event of
orexin receptor activation in the rostrolateral hypothalamus.
Firstly we performed immunohistochemical studies which confirmed
the colocalization of orexin-receptor and neurotensin-expressing
neurons in the rostrolateral hypothalamus. Secondly, we coinjected
orexin A in the rostrolateral hypothalamus and a neurotensin
receptor antagonist in the ventral tegmental area. In this case we
observed an attenuation of orexin A responsivity in the time spent
ambulating in the first hour post-injection in the presence of the
antagonist. Thirdly we administered a dose range of both
neurotensin and the neurotensin antagonist in the ventral tegmental
area. High doses of the antagonist and an intermediate dose of
neurotensin both increased spontaneous physical activity within two
hours post-injection. The equivalent directionality of the effects
of neurotensin and the antagonist are hypothesized to occur through
several potential mechanisms including partial agonist-like
qualities of the antagonist and a differential activation of
dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens. Finally after
coinjecting orexin A and neurotensin in the rostrolateral
hypothalamus, we found that neurotensin antagonizes the effect of
orexin A on spontaneous physical activity in the rostrolateral
hypothalamus. We confirm here an involvement of neurotensin
signaling in the orexin A-mediated response. Further studies are
needed to elucidate the dynamics of the pathways within the
rostrolateral hypothalamus and the ventral tegmental area as well
as to determine if other peptide signaling systems and brain sites
are involved in orexin signaling. In chapter two we sought to
determine which other brain sites may respond to orexin A. We chose
two sites, the ventral tegmental area and the paraventricular
nucleus of the thalamus, which contain orexin receptors. To
determine if an…

104 pages.
Alcohol abuse is an important health issue in the
world. While the adverse effect of alcohol can spread to various of
tissues, the most common ailment associated with alcohol abuse is
alcoholic liver disease (ALD) which is characterized by progressive
manifestations from fatty liver to hepatic cirrhosis. As the early
stage of ALD is reversible, numerous efforts have been undertaken
to understand the molecular mechanisms of ALD and identification of
reliable biomarkers. It is suggested that nutritional effects and
the toxic effects of alcohol both contribute to the pathogenesis of
ALD and may interact with each other. This offers an alternative
aspect for biomarker seeking as focuses on the influence of alcohol
on nutritional small molecule metabolome which can indicate the in
vivo change caused by alcohol consumption. The newly developed
metabolomics-based technical platform has provided a robust tool to
identify and characterize new small-molecule biomarkers of
biochemical processes and pathogenesis of ALD. In my study, the
influence of ethanol on small-molecule metabolome and the role of
cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) in ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity were
investigated using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
based metabolomics platform and Cyp2e1-null mouse model. The
results suggested CYP2E1 contributes to ethanolinduced toxicity.
Metabolomic analysis revealed that the level of N-acetyltaurine
(NAT) in urine increases dramatically after ethanol consumption.
Further in vivo and in vitro analysis indicated that
ethanol-induced NAT biosynthesis is mainly caused by a novel
reaction between taurine and excessive acetate produced by ethanol
metabolism. Overall, our study confirmed the role of CYP2E1 in
alcohol-induced liver injury and identified NAT as a novel
metabolite of ethanol that can function as the potential biomarker
of hyperacetatemia.

▼ This study examined the difference in dietary behaviors of adolescents by perceived healthfulness of diet. Participants were 391 students between the ages of 12 and 17 years in the Houston area. Participants completed a questionnaire including demographic and anthropometric data, food frequency questions, and a question on perceived dietary healthfulness. Dietary behaviors based on food frequency responses were compared by categories of perceived healthfulness of diet using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results with p < .05 were defined as statistically significant. Participants with high perceived healthfulness had higher mean intakes of fruits and vegetables and a lower mean intake of sugar sweetened beverages than participants with the same or low perceived healthfulness of diet. Participants with high perceived healthfulness had higher mean intakes of milk than participants with the same perceived healthfulness of diet. Further research is needed to expand on the limited data available regarding adolescents' perceived dietary healthfulness.
