Dietary fiber intake and mortality among survivors of myocardial infarction: prospective cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2014)Objective: To evaluate the associations of dietary fiber after myocardial infarction (MI) and changes in dietary fiber intake from before to after MI with all cause and cardiovascular mortality. Design: Prospective cohort ... -
Dietary flavonoid intake and incidence of erectile dysfunction1
(American Society for Nutrition, 2016)Background: The predominant etiology for erectile dysfunction (ED) is vascular, but limited data are available on the role of diet. A higher intake of several flavonoids reduces diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, ... -
Dietary flavonoid intake and risk of incident depression in midlife and older women123
(American Society for Nutrition, 2016)Background: The impact of dietary flavonoid intakes on risk of depression is unclear. Objective: We prospectively examined associations between estimated habitual intakes of dietary flavonoids and depression risk. Design: ... -
Dietary flavonoid intake and weight maintenance: three prospective cohorts of 124 086 US men and women followed for up to 24 years
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2016)Objective: To examine whether dietary intake of specific flavonoid subclasses (including flavonols, flavones, flavanones, flavan-3-ols, anthocyanins, and flavonoid polymers) is associated with weight change over time. ... -
Dietary Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Stroke Mortality: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: The relationship between dietary glycemic index, glycemic load and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and stroke-related mortality is inconsistent. Methods: We systematically searched the MEDLINE, ... -
Dietary Intake, FTO Genetic Variants, and Adiposity: A Combined Analysis of Over 16,000 Children and Adolescents
(American Diabetes Association, 2015)The FTO gene harbors variation with the strongest effect on adiposity and obesity risk. Previous data support a role for FTO variation in influencing food intake. We conducted a combined analysis of 16,094 boys and girls ... -
Dietary legume consumption reduces risk of colorectal cancer: evidence from a meta-analysis of cohort studies
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Previous epidemiological studies on the relation between dietary legume consumption and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis based on prospective cohort studies to investigate ... -
Dietary Leucine - An Environmental Modifier of Insulin Resistance Acting on Multiple Levels of Metabolism
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Environmental factors, such as the macronutrient composition of the diet, can have a profound impact on risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In the present study we demonstrate how a single, simple dietary factor—leucine—can ... -
Dietary Magnesium and Genetic Interactions in Diabetes and Related Risk Factors: A Brief Overview of Current Knowledge
(MDPI, 2013)Nutritional genomics has exploded in the last decade, yielding insights—both nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic—into the physiology of dietary interactions and our genes. Among these are insights into the regulation of magnesium ... -
Dietary Modifications for Enhanced Cancer Therapy
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-25)Tumors depend on nutrients supplied by the host for their growth and survival. Dietary modifications by the host can change nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment, suggesting a promising strategy for tumor ... -
Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids Do Not Change Resistance of Rat Brain or Liver Mitochondria to Ca2+ and/or Prooxidants
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) block apoptotic neuronal cell death and are strongly neuroprotective in acute and chronic neurodegeneration. Theoretical considerations, indirect data, and consideration of ... -
Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids Suppress Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis in Association with Inhibition of Th1 and Th17 Cell Function
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Omega (ω)–3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators and thereby contribute to the regulation of inflammation. Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is a well-established ... -
Dietary Patterns during Adolescence and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Aged Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2012)Objective: Whether dietary habits early in life can affect risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in adulthood is unknown. We evaluated the relationship between dietary patterns during adolescence and risk of T2DM in midlife. ... -
Dietary Patterns, Abdominal Visceral Adipose Tissue and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in African Americans: the Jackson Heart Study
(2012)Dietary behavior is an important lifestyle factor to impact an individual’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the influence of specific dietary factors on CVD risk for African Americans remains ... -
Dietary protein sources in early adulthood and breast cancer incidence: prospective cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2014)Objective: To investigate the association between dietary protein sources in early adulthood and risk of breast cancer. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Health professionals in the United States. Participants: ... -
Dietary restriction involves NAD+-dependent mechanisms and a shift toward oxidative metabolism
(BlackWell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Interventions that slow aging and prevent chronic disease may come from an understanding of how dietary restriction (DR) increases lifespan. Mechanisms proposed to mediate DR longevity include reduced mTOR signaling, ... -
