Drugs can increase nutrient requirements through various mechanisms and if these requirements are not met by dietary modification or provision of nutrient supplements, deficiency disease will result. Commoner nutritional effects of drugs consist in the insidious development of hypovitaminoses; other serious nutritional consequences of drug intake include growth impairment and, in the case of vitamin antagonists, poisoning through interference with metabolic processes dependent on the activity of vitamins or coenzymes. Interactions may exist between pharmacologic agents and nutrients with respect to their absorption, transport, metabolism and excretion. Single drugs can cause nutrient depletion by more than one mechanism and multiple drug regimens can deplete nutrient stores by a synergistic effect. Risks of drug-induced malnutrition with drugs increase with dose and duration of intake, marginal diets and co-existence of disease which increases requirements for the same nutrients that are affected by the drug. 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary vitamin E concentration on growth performance, iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation in liver and muscle tissue, and erythrocyte fragility of transgenic growth hormone coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Fish were fed one of four isoenergetic and isonitrogenous experimental diets that contained either 11, 29, 50, or 105 IU of vitamin E/kg. Following the 10-week feeding trial, no significant (P>0.05) diet-related differences were detected in growth, whole body proximate composition or erythrocyte fragility. The vitamin E contents of liver and muscle, however, were affected by the dietary treatment. Fish fed diets containing > or =50 IU of vitamin E/kg had significantly increased vitamin E concentrations in their tissues. Iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation of liver and muscle tissue of fish fed elevated dietary vitamin E (> or =50 IU vitamin E/kg diet) was significantly lower (P<0.05) than that noted for fish fed the diet containing no supplemental vitamin E. The results indicated that changes in tissue lipid peroxidation measurements precede clinical signs of sub-optimal vitamin E intake. 相似文献

Mycotoxins interact with lipid, protein, carbohydrate, and vitamin nutrition. Diets high in lipid have a mortality-sparing effect against aflatoxicosis and, if high in unsaturated fatty acids, a growth-sparing effect. Aflatoxicosis causes a lipid malabsorption syndrome coupled with decreased digestive enzymes and bile salt excretion, a decreased synthesis of fatty acids, and impaired transport. Deficiencies of vitamins A, D, or riboflavin make animals more sensitive to aflatoxin while a thiamin deficiency has the opposite effect. Interaction with vitamins E and K has not been clearly demonstrated as yet. Mycotoxins increase the protein requirements of animals and apparently alter the enzymes that regulate glycogen catabolism and neogenesis. 相似文献

The role of dietary Cu and Mn in maintaining tissue integrity, through the effects of these metals on activity of the superoxide
dismutase (SOD) enzyme, and their interactions in peroxidative pathways involving Se and vitamin E was investigated. Weanling
rats were fed diets deficient in Mn, Cu, Se, and/or vitamin E for 35 days, in a factorial experimental design. Dietary effects
on peroxidation, measured in mitochondrial fractions prepared from liver and heart tissue, were compared with changes in the
activities of glutathione peroxidase and the Cu and MnSOD enzymes.
Decreased heart MnSOD and CuSOD activities, resulting from dietary Mn and Cu deficiencies, were both associated with increased
peroxidation. Adequate Se (and glutathione peroxidase activity) prevented the peroxidation associated with either of these
deficiencies, but was ineffective with a combined Cu−Mn deficiency. These effects of Se were only observed in tissue lacking
glutathione transferase activity. Effects of Cu, Mn, and Se on peroxidation appeared to be present at both levels of vitamin
E, although in both tissues, vitamin E deficiency greatly increased the overall peroxidation. Comparison of these in vitro
peroxidation results with the deficiency associated lesions observed in vivo indicates that changes in SOD activities and
peroxidation pathways may be the dominant cause of these lesions in only some cases. In others, the roles of Cu and Mn in
different metabolic pathways appear to be of greater importance. 相似文献

Vitamin production in transgenic plants 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Plants are a major source of vitamins in the human diet. Due to their significance for human health and development, research has been initiated to understand the biosynthesis of vitamins in plants. The pathways that are furthest advanced in elucidation are those of provitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. There is little knowledge about the regulation, storage, sink and degradation of any vitamin made in plants, or the interaction of vitamin biosynthetic pathways with other metabolic pathways. Researchers as well as life science companies have endeavoured to manipulate levels of vitamins in order to create functional food with enhanced health benefits, and even with the goal of achieving levels worth extracting from plant tissues. Thus far, metabolic engineering has resulted in transgenic plants that contain elevated levels of provitamin A, vitamin C and E, respectively. Additional research is necessary to identify all relevant target genes in order to further improve and tailor plants with elevated vitamin contents at will. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of nutritional deficiency and dietary addition of vitamins (B2, B6, and folate) on hepatic concentration of zinc and copper in rats. The experiment was performed on 260 growing male Wistar
rats divided into 13 groups. Animals of 11 groups were fed isocaloric diets (14.7 MJ/kg) in which the 20% of energy was derived
from protein. Another two groups of rats were offered diets with 9% or 4.5% of energy originating from protein. Animals of
both mentioned groups and of the control group (20% of energy from protein) were offered diets ad libitum. The other 10 groups were offered 50% and 30% of the amount consumed in the control group. Eight groups, from those 10 restricted
ones, were differentiated by dietary addition of vitamins B2 and B6 and folate (300% addition). Restricted feed intake did not affect the liver zinc concentration but significantly increased
the copper concentration. The addition of vitamin B6 decreased the liver Zn concentration. The highest liver Cu concentration was noted in rats offered restricted diets to only
30% of intake in the control group and high in vitamin B2 and in rats supplemented with all of studied vitamins together. It suggests that vitamin B2 had the strongest impact on liver Cu concentration in rats fed restricted diets. 相似文献

I-compounds are DNA modifications detected by 32P-postlabeling that increase with age in rodents without known carcinogen exposure. Diet type (natural ingredient versus purified) greatly influences patterns and levels of I-compounds. To test the hypothesis that I-compound formation is affected, also, by dietary macro- and micronutrients, effects of carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin, and mineral content on rat liver and kidney I-compounds were determined. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed basic or modified AIN-76A purified diets for 3-6 months. High protein (HP) diet (50%, w/w) increased I-compound levels in liver but not kidney. High carbohydrate (HC) diet (78%) produced a significant increase in the polar as well as total I-compound levels in both tissues. High fat diets (20%) elicited significantly lower levels of liver I-compounds than HC, HP, and basic diets. There were few significant differences between high polyunsaturated (safflower oil) and saturated fat (lard) diet groups. No qualitative differences in I-compound profiles were observed in either tissue. In rats fed basic diet supplemented with vitamins and/or minerals, increased vitamin content reduced the levels of polar I-compounds in liver. No extra diet-induced adducts were observed; all effects were of a quantitative nature. These data provide direct evidence that nutrients significantly influence I-compound levels and support the hypothesis that normal metabolism of nutrients leads to the production of small amounts of DNA-reactive electrophiles. These observations suggest a novel mechanism where nutrient composition of the diet may play a role in development of neoplasia and other adverse health effects. 相似文献

Vitamin E deficiency and vitamin C supplements: exercise and mitochondrial oxidation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of dietary antioxidant vitamins E and C on exercise endurance capacity and mitochondrial oxidation were investigated in rats. The endurance capacity of both vitamin E-deficient and vitamin C-supplemented, E-deficient rats was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower (38.1 and 33.6%, respectively) than control animals. Compared with the normal and vitamin E-deficient rats, there was a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in the concentration of vitamin C in blood and liver of the vitamin E-deficient, C-supplemented animals. Hence dietary vitamin C supplementation does not prevent the inhibition of exercise endurance capacity or increased hemolysis seen in vitamin E deficiency. The mitochondrial activities for the oxidation of palmitoyl carnitine and alpha-ketoglutarate were significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased by a single bout of exercise in brown adipose tissue but not in muscle, heart, or liver from vitamin C-supplemented, E-deficient groups of rats when compared with the activities in the tissue from the same group of rats killed at rest. Similar results were also seen in brown adipose tissue from vitamin E-deficient rats. The results suggest a tissue-specific role for vitamins E and C in substrate oxidation and show that the poor endurance capacity of vitamin E-deficient rats cannot be attributed to any changes in the mitochondrial activity in skeletal or cardiac muscles. It is also concluded that vitamin C supplementation, at least at the dose employed in the present study, cannot counteract the detrimental effects associated with vitamin E deficiency. 相似文献

Summary Chemically defined amino acid diets have been developed for most laboratory and meat-producing animal species as well as for humans. In many cases, growth performance of animals fed these diets equals that obtained with standard intact-protein diets. The pattern of both essential and nonessential amino acids is critical to obtaining excellent voluntary food intake. Other factors such as carbohydrate and fat type and level, acid-base balance (i.e., cation-anion ratio), and texture are important to the success of purified diets. Chemically defined diets provide amino acids, mineral elements and vitamins in forms that are maximally bioavailable. Also, virtually any nutrient can be manipulated at will for studies of a) requirements, b) bioavailability, c) factors affecting requirements and bioavailability, d) nutrient-nutrient interrelationships, e) nutrientdrug or nutrient-toxin interrelationships, f) absorption phenomena and g) efficiency and priority aspects of nutrient utilization. Requirements for essential nutrients are generally lower with purified diets than for practical diets because the nutrients in the former are more bioavailable, but also because purified diets generally lack antagonizing factors such as phytate and soluble fiber. That chemically defined diets for pigs, rats and dogs yield such excellent rates of growth suggests that a specific peptide requirement many not exist for these species. Also, this suggests that all known nutrients necessary for maximal growth must be present in the diet. Whether additional nutrients, or different levels, may be necessary for optimal health and immunocompetency, or for maximal life span, needs further study.Text of an invited paper presented at the 2nd International Congress on Amino Acids and Analogues, Vienna, Austria.

The early observations of Osborne, Mendel, and Ferry, and later of Higgins, showed that the incidence of urolithiasis was high in rats fed on diets deficient in fat soluble vitamins. Subsequently, the results of dark adaptation studies were interpreted as showing a relationship between vitamin A deficiency and calculous disease. However, a review of the literature including more recent data discloses that there is no evidence either clinical or experimental to support the claim that vitamin A deficiency is an etiologic factor in calculous disease in man in the United States. 相似文献

Nonpathological fattening of a bird occurs when the amount of energy consumed exceeds its requirements for maintenance and growth. Dietary energy and protein levels, particularly the ratio of these two, are the main dietary factors affecting fatness. Consumption of diets low in protein results in excess energy intake and an increased hepatic lipogenesis. Excess protein has the opposite effect. It also increases the energy expenditure required to dispose of excess amino acids in the body. Severe deficiency of a specific amino acid does not increase fattening. The degree of fattening, particularly of the liver, induced by corticosterone injection is greater in birds fed diets containing a wide energy-to-protein ratio in comparison to a narrow ratio. The content of dietary fat per se does not affect carcass fat concentration although it alters the rate of liver fatty acid synthesis. The dietary fatty acid composition affects the composition of tissue fatty acids. Consumption of diets containing vegetable oils or high in protein increases the degree of unsaturation of tissue fat and thereby its susceptibility to oxidation. Dietary dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate increases the stability of the lipids of adipose and muscle tissue of chicks with relatively saturated body fat, but the dietary effectiveness of this vitamin in improving the stability of tissues of birds having relatively unsaturated fat is limited. 相似文献

The effects of vitamins A, C, and E and of selenium on carcinogenesis are briefly summarized and updated. These vitamins and minerals were selected because they have been studied extensively in recent years with a variety of carcinogenesis models. The consumption of vitamin A and its precursors (carotenoids) has been negatively correlated with cancer at a number of sites, particularly the lung. Animal investigations on vitamin A involvement in carcinogenesis have generally been of three types: those assessing the effect of vitamin A deficiency, the effect of excess vitamin A, or the effect of supplementation with synthetic analogs of vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency had no effect on salivary gland carcinogenesis, enhanced urinary bladder, lung, and liver carcinogenesis, and inhibited colon carcinogenesis. Excess of various forms of vitamin A enhanced or inhibited skin tumorigenesis, inhibited mammary carcinogenesis in rats (but not in mice), and carcinogenesis of the forestomach, liver, and urinary bladder (with one model, but not with another), or enhanced or did not influence lung carcinogenesis. Vitamin A analogs have enhanced or inhibited skin tumorigenesis, inhibited salivary gland, mammary, and urinary bladder carcinogenesis, enhanced tracheal and liver carcinogenesis, and either enhanced or inhibited pancreas carcinogenesis, depending upon the model employed. Although retinoids have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis at many sites, numerous negative studies have been reported and some reports have indicated enhanced carcinogenesis. The most convincing evidence for the involvement of vitamin C in cancer prevention is the ability of ascorbic acid to prevent formation of nitrosamine and of other N-nitroso compounds. In addition vitamin C supplementation was shown to inhibit skin, nose, tracheal, lung, and kidney carcinogenesis, to either not influence or enhance skin, mammary gland, and colon carcinogenesis, and to enhance urinary bladder carcinogenesis, when given as sodium ascorbate, but not when given as ascorbic acid. Like vitamin C, vitamin E can inhibit nitrosation. Vitamin E was shown to inhibit skin, cheek pouch, and forestomach carcinogenesis, to enhance or inhibit colon carcinogenesis, and to have no effect on or to inhibit mammary gland carcinogenesis, depending upon the method of vitamin E administration or the level of dietary selenium or dietary fat. Selenium effects on carcinogenesis have been recently reviewed and the present discussion only updates this area by indicating that enhancement of carcinogenesis by dietary selenium supplements has been observed in the liver, pancreas, and skin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamin E contents on the growth, ascorbate induced iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation in post-mortem muscle and liver tissue, and Raman spectral changes in lens of juvenile hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus x O. aureus). Experimental fish were fed practical diets supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 200, 450 and 700 mg alpha-tocopheryl acetate/kg diet for 14 weeks. There was no significant difference in weight gain, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio among fish fed test diets (P>0.05). Protein content of fish fed diet containing the lowest vitamin E level was the lowest (P<0.05) among all groups. No difference was found in other body constituents among test fish (P>0.05). The thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances produced by iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation in muscle and liver tissue of fish fed the diet without alpha-tocopheryl acetate supplementation were significantly (P<0.05) greater than those from fish fed diets containing higher levels of alpha-tocopheryl acetate. Dietary vitamin E supplementation increased the antioxidant capability of tilapia tissues against lipid peroxidation. Further, dietary vitamin E supplementation also influenced the lens cortical membrane structure of tilapia. 相似文献

Vitamin Deficiencies in Humans: Can Plant Science Help? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The term vitamin describes a small group of organic compounds that are absolutely required in the human diet. Although for the most part, dependency criteria are met in developed countries through balanced diets, this is not the case for the five billion people in developing countries who depend predominantly on a single staple crop for survival. Thus, providing a more balanced vitamin intake from high-quality food remains one of the grandest challenges for global human nutrition in the coming decade(s). Here, we describe the known importance of vitamins in human health and current knowledge on their metabolism in plants. Deficits in developing countries are a combined consequence of a paucity of specific vitamins in major food staple crops, losses during crop processing, and/or overreliance on a single species as a primary food source. We discuss the role that plant science can play in addressing this problem and review successful engineering of vitamin pathways. We conclude that while considerable advances have been made in understanding vitamin metabolic pathways in plants, more cross-disciplinary approaches must be adopted to provide adequate levels of all vitamins in the major staple crops to eradicate vitamin deficiencies from the global population. 相似文献

Some non-pathogenic trypanosomatids maintain a mutualistic relationship with a betaproteobacterium of the Alcaligenaceae family. Intensive nutritional exchanges have been reported between the two partners, indicating that these protozoa are excellent biological models to study metabolic co-evolution. We previously sequenced and herein investigate the entire genomes of five trypanosomatids which harbor a symbiotic bacterium (SHTs for Symbiont-Haboring Trypanosomatids) and the respective bacteria (TPEs for Trypanosomatid Proteobacterial Endosymbiont), as well as two trypanosomatids without symbionts (RTs
for Regular Trypanosomatids), for the presence of genes of the classical pathways for vitamin biosynthesis. Our data show that genes for the biosynthetic pathways of thiamine, biotin, and nicotinic acid are absent from all trypanosomatid genomes. This is in agreement with the absolute growth requirement for these vitamins in all protozoa of the family. Also absent from the genomes of RTs are the genes for the synthesis of pantothenic acid, folic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin B6. This is also in agreement with the available data showing that RTs are auxotrophic for these essential vitamins. On the other hand, SHTs are autotrophic for such vitamins. Indeed, all the genes of the corresponding biosynthetic pathways were identified, most of them in the symbiont genomes, while a few genes, mostly of eukaryotic origin, were found in the host genomes. The only exceptions to the latter are: the gene coding for the enzyme ketopantoate reductase (EC:1.1.1.169) which is related instead to the Firmicutes bacteria; and two other genes, one involved in the salvage pathway of pantothenic acid and the other in the synthesis of ubiquinone, that are related to Gammaproteobacteria. Their presence in trypanosomatids may result from lateral gene transfer. Taken together, our results reinforce the idea that the low nutritional requirement of SHTs is associated with the presence of the symbiotic bacterium, which contains most genes for vitamin production. 相似文献
