The Influence Of Dietary Protein On Serum Lipid Levels Of Premenopausal Women, Ellen Speiden Parham

Doctoral Dissertations

(From the Introduction)

Serum lipid levels of young women are of particular interest because, in a population riddled with atherosclerosis, premenopausal women seem to have a relative immunity both to severe hyperlipidemia and to those diseases thought to be related to it. The diet of this heterogeneous population is characterized by high intakes of animal protein, animal fat, and sugars.

Research has shown that the type and quantity of fat and carbohydrate have varying degrees of influence on serum lipid levels. Various micronutrients are also implicated. Animal experiments using wide ranges of protein intake suggest that under some …

Alterations Of Sulfur Metabolism In Malathion-Treated Rats, Gail W. Disney

Masters Theses

: Abbreviated

The investigation reported in this thesis was designed to study the effects of malathion administration on sulfate fixation in rats and to determine whether or not these effects are related to the level of inorganic sulfate in the diet.

Approximately two-thirds of this time was devoted to the Institutional Nutrition Consultation Program. The student has focused her course and field work on the institutional phase of nutrition consultation. In the future, she hopes to apply this knowledge in establishing an effective institutional nutrition program, within the framework of a generalized nutrition …

Inhibition Of Cysteine Oxidation In Vitamin E Deficiency, Helen Raisty Rutledge

Doctoral Dissertations

Since previous results in this laboratory had indicated that vitamin E was necessary in vivo not only for the optimal sulfation of mucopolysaccharides, but also for the oxidation of neutral sulfur to sulfate, the ability of whole liver homogenates from vitamin Esufficient and -deficient rats to convert cysteine to sulfate was investigated. Then an attempt was made to determine the specific site of the decreased oxidation of cysteine or its intermediate oxidation products. Since several alternative pathways have been proposed in animals for the ultimate oxidation of the sulfur of cysteine to sulfate and the use of the sulfate formed, …
