The metabolic availability of vitamin A (retinol) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
(University of Alberta (Canada), 1996)
Using non-diabetic control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic male Wistar rats of 4-6 week duration, the metabolic availability of vitamin A (retinol) was examined. Animals were fed ad libitum a nutritionally complete ...
Protein utilization in humans as affected by level of dietary fat
(Elsivier, 1996-01)
The objective of the project was to determine the effects of level of fat with or without manganese supplementation of diets on protein status of humans. Fourteen healthy adult humans participated in a 61 day study in which ...
Strain variation in vitamin A (retinol) status of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
(International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, 1996)
Decreased plasma concentrations of vitamin A (retinol) and retinol-binding protein have been previously identified in human subjects with type I diabetes mellitus. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects ...
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats is associated with impaired metabolic availability of vitamin A (retinol).
(The British Journal of Nutrition, 1996-04)
Using streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats, studies were carried out to examine the metabolic availability of vitamin A in the plasma, liver and the retina of the eye. Control and diabetic rats were fed ad lib. on ...
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes lowers retinol-binding protein and transthyretin concentrations in rats.
(The British Journal of Nutrition, 1996-12)
Retinol-binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR) in the plasma, liver and kidney, retinol in plasma, and total vitamin A in the liver were measured in rats 6 weeks after diabetes mellitus had been induced by streptozotocin ...
