This book was released on 2002-07-19 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series issued by the National Academy of Sciences on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). This series provides recommended intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for individuals based on age and gender. In addition, a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), has also been established to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient. Based on the Institute of Medicine's review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health. The book also: Reviews selected components of food that may influence the bioavailability of these compounds. Develops estimates of dietary intake of these compounds that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease risk of chronic disease where data indicate they play a role. Determines Tolerable Upper Intake levels for each nutrient reviewed where adequate scientific data are available in specific population subgroups. Identifies research needed to improve knowledge of the role of these micronutrients in human health. This book will be important to professionals in nutrition research and education.

Download or read book Whole Body, Cellular, and Molecular Changes in Healthy Men Consuming Low, Moderate, Or Supplemental Zinc Intakes written by Sarah J. Zyba and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc deficiency is a leading global health concern and is a contributing factor to stunting and impaired immune function. The World Health Organization estimates that 1.4% of deaths worldwide can be attributed to zinc deficiency. However, due to the fact that zinc is required for many metabolic pathways in the human body and symptoms of zinc deficiency are non-specific, scientists have struggled to identify a sensitive and specific biomarker for zinc. To evaluate the effect changes in dietary zinc have on healthy individuals, a zinc depletion/ repletion study was conducted. In this study, eighteen healthy men, age 18-39, were provided a moderately low zinc (6 mg/day) diet with added phytic acid (1.5 g/d) for two weeks to facilitate zinc deficiency followed by a moderate zinc (10 mg/day) diet for four weeks. They then consumed an ad libitum diet while taking a 25mg zinc supplement for three weeks. The study diet was based on a traditional high-carbohydrate, low-animal source protein Bangladeshi diet. To determine what effect changing dietary zinc has on zinc absorption and whole-body zinc metabolism, fractional zinc absorption (FZA) and the size of the exchangeable zinc pool (EZP) were measured using a dual-tracer isotope method. Total absorbed zinc (TAZ) was then calculated from FZA. Blood samples were also collected throughout the study to look at cellular markers of zinc status and changes in the proteome. The results of this study are presented in three chapters. The first chapter evaluated the impact an increase of 4 mg dietary zinc per day had on the absorption and size of the exchangeable zinc pool of the participants. FZA decreased by 6.4% with the moderate zinc diet compared to the low-zinc diet, but TAZ increased by 0.7 mg with the moderate zinc diet. EZP did not change with any changes to the diet. These results indicate that neither an increase in 4 mg dietary zinc per day for four weeks, nor a 25 mg zinc supplement for three weeks was sufficient to affect the EZP of adult men. However, an increase in 4mg zinc per day increased absorbed zinc by 0.7 mg.The second chapter evaluated changes in cellular zinc markers including white blood cell (WBC), and red blood cell (RBC) zinc concentrations, WBC zinc transporters and metallothionein gene expression, in vitro WBC 65Zn uptake, and WBC DNA damage in the participants during the zinc depletion/repletion study. mRNA expression of zinc transporters, including ZIP1, ZIP4, ZIP8, ZNT1, and ZNT7, and a metallothionein gene (MT2a) was examined in isolated WBCs. ZNT1 and ZNT7 gene expression increased while ZIP4 gene expression decreased during the low zinc phase, although total plasma and WBC zinc concentrations did not change nor did in vitro WBC 65Zn uptake. Total DNA strand breaks and DNA strand breaks due to oxidative damage increased with a low zinc diet. Total DNA strand breaks then returned to baseline levels when the dietary zinc was increased to 10 mg/d during the moderate zinc phase, but strand breaks due to oxidative damage did not. These results show that a two-week, low zinc intake alters gene expression of ZNT1, ZNT7 and ZIP4 in WBCs, without any change in plasma zinc concentration. Also, DNA integrity is sensitive to changes in dietary zinc as small as 4 mg/d. Both WBC zinc transporter gene expression and DNA integrity may be useful to evaluate zinc deficiency and the effectiveness of zinc interventions even when plasma zinc concentrations remain unchanged.The fourth chapter evaluated changes in plasma proteins when healthy men consume a low zinc diet followed by moderate dietary zinc and when they consumed a zinc supplement. Of 1129 proteins that were measured, 19 proteins responded to changes in dietary zinc. These proteins either increased or decreased significantly with a 6 mg + phytate diet and then returned to the baseline after the participants consumed a 10 mg zinc diet for four weeks. The proteins that responded to the dietary zinc changes generally belonged to two metabolic categories: inflammation and apoptosis. The 6 mg zinc diet led to a pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic state that recovered when participants were fed a 10 mg zinc diet for four weeks. Forty-one proteins changed between baseline and the 3-week supplementation period with 25 mg zinc. These proteins varied in function and did no show a clear effect of zinc supplementation on a specific aspect of the proteome. Consuming a 6 mg zinc diet with added phytate induced a pro-inflammatory pro-apoptotic state in healthy men. Increasing dietary zinc to 10 mg /d and removing phytate permitted the plasma proteins to return to the baseline levels. Together these results show that even small changes in dietary zinc can have a significant impact on cellular function and zinc metabolism as well as the plasma proteome even when plasma zinc concentration is not affected. Some of the cellular and proteomic markers measured here may provide a sensitive and specific marker for diagnosing zinc deficiency or evaluating effectiveness of zinc dietary interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intake of a sufficient diet will provide an individual to live a healthy and functional life. However, poor intake of different nutritional components, such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, may lead to health problems that can cause morbidity and finally mortality. Assessment of nutritional status involves physical examination, comprehensive evaluation of biochemical tests, body composition, and organ functions. Both high and low intake of nutritional elements may lead to significant health impairment. The main aim of the book Nutritional Deficiency is to determine the relationships between nutritional status and general health. The authors, who are contributing to the book, particularly focused on iron, vitamin D, and zinc deficiencies, which are global health problems. Besides, some chapters mention the impact of different nutritional deficiencies in susceptible periods of life, such as pregnancy and elderly. Besides, as a result of these deficiencies, different health conditions, such as depression, anemia, loss of neuronal plasticity, and cancer, are widely scrutinized in the book. One chapter mainly focuses on the effects of disasters on nutrition and disaster-caused malnutrition in underdeveloped countries. This book will widen the knowledge store of the readers on the effects of nutrition on general health, how nutritional deficiencies arise when there is a health problem, and how the nutritional status affects susceptible populations.

This book was released on 1999-05-13 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every aspect of immune function and host defense is dependent upon a proper supply and balance of nutrients. Severe malnutrition can cause significant alteration in immune response, but even subclinical deficits may be associated with an impaired immune response, and an increased risk of infection. Infectious diseases have accounted for more off-duty days during major wars than combat wounds or nonbattle injuries. Combined stressors may reduce the normal ability of soldiers to resist pathogens, increase their susceptibility to biological warfare agents, and reduce the effectiveness of vaccines intended to protect them. There is also a concern with the inappropriate use of dietary supplements. This book, one of a series, examines the impact of various types of stressors and the role of specific dietary nutrients in maintaining immune function of military personnel in the field. It reviews the impact of compromised nutrition status on immune function; the interaction of health, exercise, and stress (both physical and psychological) in immune function; and the role of nutritional supplements and newer biotechnology methods reported to enhance immune function. The first part of the book contains the committee's workshop summary and evaluation of ongoing research by Army scientists on immune status in special forces troops, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The rest of the book contains papers contributed by workshop speakers, grouped under such broad topics as an introduction to what is known about immune function, the assessment of immune function, the effect of nutrition, and the relation between the many and varied stresses encountered by military personnel and their effect on health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts explore the influence of trace metals on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Many parts of the world in which common infectious diseases are endemic also have the highest prevalence of trace metal deficiencies or rising rates of trace metal pollution. Infectious diseases can increase human susceptibility to adverse effects of metal exposure (at suboptimal or toxic levels), and metal excess or deficiency can increase the incidence or severity of infectious diseases. The co-clustering of major infectious diseases with trace metal deficiency or toxicity has created a complex web of interactions with serious but poorly understood health repercussions, yet has been largely overlooked in animal and human studies. This book focuses on the distribution, trafficking, fate, and effects of trace metals in biological systems. Its goal is to enhance our understanding of the relationships between homeostatic mechanisms of trace metals and the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Drawing on expertise from a range of fields, the book offers a comprehensive review of current knowledge on vertebrate metal-withholding mechanisms and the strategies employed by different microbes to avoid starvation (or poisoning). Chapters summarize current, state-of-the-art techniques for investigating pathogen-metal interactions and highlight open question to guide future research. The book makes clear that improving knowledge in this area will be instrumental to the development of novel therapeutic measures against infectious diseases. Contributors M.
