Vitamin B12 plays a role during pregnancy in maintaining folate metabolism
With the increasing popularity of Indian curries worldwide, we investigated the acute effects of two distinct doses of mixed spices and base vegetables, in quantities that are typically used in Indian curries when consumed with white rice, on 24 h glucose control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), on postprandial insulinemia and triglyceridemia (TG), and on urinary total polyphenol excretion (TPE) using Folin-Ciocalteu assay
We aimed to investigate the dietary pattern during 1991–2011 and its association with cardio metabolic risks in a longitudinal study among Chinese adults; (2) Methods: Adults participating in The China Health and Nutrition Survey were included. 3-day food consumption was collected by 24 h recall method
Summary
Vitamin B12 plays a role during pregnancy in maintaining folate metabolism. Together with folate and vitamin B6, B12 is involved as a coenzyme in DNA synthesis and various methylation reactions in developing embryos. We aimed to investigate the dietary pattern during 1991–2011 and its association with cardio metabolic risks in a longitudinal study among Chinese adults; (2) Methods: Adults participating in The China Health and Nutrition Survey were included. (3) Results: In the beginning of the study, most of patients had intakes of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins A, C, and E below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) (68.9%; 55.6%; 82.2%; 57.8%; 100%, respectively), with a body mass index indicative of obesity (>25 kg/m2) (44.4%). The association between SSBs and body weight gain in children was positive but not statistically significant The purpose of this pilot study was to develop an easy, convenient and noninvasive sample collection kit for Chinese mothers to allow personalized detection for secretor status and precise prediction for human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) composition in their milk. The majority of the clinical instructors agreed that they need specific training to improve their skills and knowledge in guiding students; (4) Conclusion: Several areas should be improved during dietetic placement so that the Dietetic Internship Program can be improved
