Folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia are found in most patients with alcoholic liver disease. Oxidative stress is one of the important mechanisms contributing to homocysteine (Hcy)-induced tissue injury. However it has not been examined whether exogenous administration folic acid attenuates oxidative hepatic toxicity. The aim this study was investigate vivo effect supplementation on toxicity induced by chronic ethanol consumption. Wistar rats (n = 32) were divided into four groups fed...

Of respondents, 44.3% 53.2%...

DNA damages and antioxidant status was assessed after 8 weeks of purple grape juice supplementation in male smokers depending on the glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms. Ninety-five consumed 480 ml for weeks. The blood samples were collected before to measure lymphocyte damages, plasma antioxidants, conjugated diene, erythrocyte enzymes. diastolic pressure, damage, diene significantly decreased but γ-tocopherol increased GSTM1-null genotype, while damage observed GSTM1-present genotype....

High consumption of fruits and vegetables has been suggested to provide some protection smokers who are exposed an increased risk numerous cancers other degenerative diseases. Carrot is the most important source dietary β-carotene. Therefore, objective this study was investigate whether carrot juice supplementation can protect against lymphocyte DNA damage compare effect capsules containing purified β-carotene or a placebo (simple lactose). The conducted in randomized placebo-controlled...

To investigate the effects of factors including dietary habits, lifestyle, anthropometric characteristics, plasma lipid profiles, and antioxidants on DNA damage among Korean population.Blood samples were collected from 109 healthy volunteers, aged 19-28 years, whom 34% smokers. Epidemiological information was by personal interviews, characteristics measured directly. Oxidative quantified using Comet assay; tail length (TL) moment (TM) measured.Statistically significant (p < 0.05) positive...

Smoking increases indices of free radical-mediated damage DNA which are potential underlying processes in the pathogenesis many diseases. In this study, we evaluated whether 8 weeks green vegetable drink (Angelica keiskei based juice) supplementation to smokers can be protective against lymphocytic damage. Twenty were given 240 ml commercially available every day for weeks. The was determined using single cell gel electrophoresis (COMET assay) and quantified by measuring tail length (TL),...

ABSTRACT This study was performed to investigate the relationship between milk and product consumption dietary nutrient intake among Korean adolescents. Questionnaire survey 3-day diet using food record method were completed by a total of 664 subjects. Subjects divided into three groups, Q1 (low group), Q2 (middle Q3 (high according dairy equivalent calcium. Dairy calcium determined amount eaten from products individual As result, ratio school service higher in (P＜0.001). The most frequent...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Glutathione s-transferase (GST) is involved in the formation of a multigene family comprising phase II detoxification enzymes, reactive oxygen species.This study evaluated whether daily supplementation with kale juice could modulate levels plasma antioxidant vitamins and oxidative stress-related parameters.We further examined this modulation was affected by combined GSTM1 T1 polymorphisms.SUBJECTS/METHODS: Totally, 84 subclinical hypertensive patients having systolic...

Purpose: This study was conducted among 235 children aged 3 up to 11 yrs examine the relationship between subjects’ eating behaviors and obesity. Methods: The subjects were divided into three age groups: preschoolers 5 yrs, early elementary school students 6 8 late 9 yrs.
