THE B VITAMINS AND FAT METABOLISM III. THE EFFECTS OF VITAMIN Be UPON LIVER AND BODY FAT BY GERTRUDE GAVIN
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous work has shown that rice polish concentrate, used as a dietary supplement in conjunction with thiamine and riboflavin, caused a marked increase in the body fat of rats (1). Bender and Supplee (2) found that, under such conditions, this concentrate had a supplemental effect upon body weight. They correlated the weight changes with the presence or absence of dermatitis, interpreting their results to mean that the factor in rice polish concentrate affecting growth was vitamin Be. When crystalline vitamin Be became available, it was possible to determine whether this factor influenced weight and body fat in rats.

متن کاملNutrition in cryptogenic cirrhosis and chronic aggressive hepatitis.
The nutritional status of 80 patients with non-alcoholic chronic liver disease was assessed by determination of various nutritional parameters in body fluids. With the exception of vitamin C there was a higher incidence (40%) of fat soluble vitamin deficiency (vitamins A, E, and carotene) than of the water soluble vitamins. Less than 10% of patients showed evidence of vitamin B12, nicotinic aci...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin A and E on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in diet-induced obese wistar rats
In the present study, we investigated the biochemical alterations and gene expression of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism after oral administration of vitamin A and E for 2 months in diet-induced obese Wistar rats. Vitamin A and E administration reduced significantly the increase in body weight and food intake and normalized the alterations in lipid profiles in obese rats compared to normal ra...

متن کاملSome cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors-related genes are regulated by vitamin C in a model of diet-induced obesity.
The aim of this research was to investigate differential gene expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) in white adipose tissue (WAT) and liver from high-fat fed male Wistar rats with or without vitamin C (VC) supplementation (750 mg/kg of body weight). After 56 d of experimentation, animals fed on a cafeteria diet increased significantly body weights and total body fat. Reverse t...
