OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the intake of zinc in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes in U.S. women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Dietary intakes of zinc and other nutrients were assessed and updated ...
Biological variability dominates and influences analytical variance in HPLC-ECD studies of the human plasma metabolome
(BioMed Central, 2007)
Background: Biomarker-based assessments of biological samples are widespread in clinical, pre-clinical, and epidemiological investigations. We previously developed serum metabolomic profiles assessed by HPLC-separations ...
Phobic Anxiety is Associated with Higher Serum Concentrations of Adipokines and Cytokines in Women with Diabetes
(American Diabetes Association, 2009)
OBJECTIVE: Phobic anxiety has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We aimed to determine whether associations of phobic anxiety with ...
Milk Consumption and the Prepubertal Somatotropic Axis
(BioMed Central, 2007)
Background: Nutrients, hormones and growth factors in dairy foods may stimulate growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and raise the ratio of IGF-I to its binding protein, IGFBP-3. We conducted pilot ...
Does Diet Affect Breast Cancer Risk?
(BioMed Central, 2004)
The role of specific dietary factors in breast cancer causation is not completely resolved. Results from prospective studies do not support the concept that fat intake in middle life has a major relation to breast cancer ...
Towards an integrated model for breast cancer etiology: The lifelong interplay of genes, lifestyle, and hormones
(BioMed Central, 2004)
While the association of a number of risk factors, such as family history and reproductive patterns, with breast cancer has been well established for many years, work in the past 10–15 years also has added substantially ...
Polymorphic repeat in AIB1 does not alter breast cancer risk
(BioMed Central, 2000)
We assessed the association between a glutamine repeat polymorphism in AIB1 and breast cancer risk in a case-control study (464 cases, 624 controls) nested within the Nurses' Health Study cohort. We observed no association ...
Gender-Related Differences in the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and their Correlates in Urban Tanzania
(BioMed Central, 2009)
Background: Urban areas in Africa suffer a serious problem with dual burden of infectious diseases and emerging chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes which pose a serious threat to population ...
Adolescent diet and risk of breast cancer

(American Diabetes Association, 2009)
OBJECTIVE: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) was related to an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance in several recent studies among middle- or older-aged populations. Studies on SSB consumption ...
