Green tea as inhibitor of the intestinal absorption of lipids: potential mechanism for its lipid-lowering effectSung I Koo
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 4017, USA
J Nutr Biochem 18:179-83. 2007..The available information strongly suggests that green tea or its catechins may be used as safe and effective lipid-lowering therapeutic agents...- Estimation of antioxidant intakes from diet and supplements in U.S. adultsOck K Chun
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr 140:317-24. 2010..05). Consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may be a good strategy to increase antioxidant intake. The possible association between antioxidant intake and the prevalence of chronic diseases should be investigated further... - Green tea extract protects leptin-deficient, spontaneously obese mice from hepatic steatosis and injuryRichard S Bruno
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 4017, USA
J Nutr 138:323-31. 2008..Further study is underway to define the events by which GTE protects against obesity-triggered NAFLD... - Weight loss favorably modifies anthropometrics and reverses the metabolic syndrome in premenopausal womenIngrid E Lofgren
University of Connecticut, Department of Nutritional Sciences 3624 Horsebarn Road Extension, U 4017, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Am Coll Nutr 24:486-93. 2005..Realistic dietary and physical activity goals must be the focus of intervention strategies for overweight and obese individuals... - L-carnitine increases liver alpha-tocopherol and lowers liver and plasma triglycerides in aging ovariectomized ratsRichard M Clark
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 4017, USA
J Nutr Biochem 18:623-8. 2007..Whether supplemental L-carnitine may be of benefit to postmenopausal women in lowering plasma TG and improving the antioxidant status remains to be studied... - Dietary green tea extract lowers plasma and hepatic triglycerides and decreases the expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c mRNA and its responsive genes in fructose-fed, ovariectomized ratsSudeep Shrestha
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr 139:640-5. 2009..The results suggest that the lipid-lowering effect of GT is mediated partly by its inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis involving SREBP-1c and its responsive genes without affecting lipoprotein assembly... - Carbohydrate intake is correlated with biomarkers for coronary heart disease in a population of overweight premenopausal womenIngrid E Lofgren
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr Biochem 16:245-50. 2005..01) and a larger LDL diameter (P < .05) than the > or =53% group. These results suggest that the lower LDL-C in the LC group may be related to both the amount of carbohydrate and the type of fatty acids consumed by these subjects... - Development and validation of an algorithm to establish a total antioxidant capacity database of the US dietAnna Floegel
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269 4017, USA
Int J Food Sci Nutr 61:600-23. 2010..484, P = 0.001, n = 44). The TAC database of the US diet has been established and validated. In future studies, TAC of the US diet can be linked to biomarkers of chronic disease... - Weight loss associated with reduced intake of carbohydrate reduces the atherogenicity of LDL in premenopausal womenIngrid Lofgren
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
Metabolism 54:1133-41. 2005..This study suggests that moderate weight loss (<5% of body weight) associated with reduced caloric intake, lower dietary carbohydrate, and increased physical activity impacts the atherogenicity of LDL... - Waist circumference is a better predictor than body mass index of coronary heart disease risk in overweight premenopausal womenIngrid Lofgren
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr 134:1071-6. 2004..01). These results suggest that WC is a stronger predictor of CHD risk than BMI and is more closely associated with the level of exercise in premenopausal women... - The lowering of plasma lipids following a weight reduction program is related to increased expression of the LDL receptor and lipoprotein lipaseMadhu Patalay
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr 135:735-9. 2005..The results suggest that the increased expression of the LDL-R and LPL after the intervention might have contributed to the lower plasma LDL-C and TG observed in these women... - Milk sphingomyelin is more effective than egg sphingomyelin in inhibiting intestinal absorption of cholesterol and fat in ratsSang K Noh
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Nutr 134:2611-6. 2004....

- R21: Hypocholesterolemic action of green tea extractsSung Koo; Fiscal Year: 2005..This study also will yield valuable information on whether green tea and catechins can be recommended as a means of lowering cholesterol absorption, and will form the basis for further mechanistic or clinical investigations. ..
