Because of the advantageous dietary effects of flavonoids they have been vigorously investigated in food and food products. The objectives of these measurements were the separation and quantitation of well-known flavonoids in foods and the identification of new flavonoids. An HPLC-ESI MS method has been developed for the isolation and identification of new quercetin derivatives in the leaves of Eruca sativa (Mill). Fresh leaves (500g) were homogenized with 1 200 ml of methanol-water (7 3, v/v), the suspension was macerated for 24h at ambient temperature, then it was filtered, concentrated to 50 ml and diluted with water to 500 ml. The extract was applied to an Amberlite XAD-2 column (75 X 8cm i.d.) and was washed subsequently with 11 of water and 11 of diethyl ether. The glucoside fraction was eluted with 1.51 of methanol and the eluate was concentrated in vacuum and liophilized. 

The observed mutagenic responses to AFB reflect the overall effects of activation and detoxification systems on the in vitro metabolism of AFB. It appeared that the effect of high casein levels fed to trout was that a greater amount of activated AFB was produced and/or that less could be detoxified by these fish than by those fed lower casein diets. If lowered cytochrome P-450 content and AE activities in fish fed the high casein diets represented a decrease in the activation of AFB, then these effects were overcome by the observed decreases in GTr activity and/or increases in AFB conversion to AFL relative to those of trout fed lower casein diets. Alternately, the results could be explained by dietary effects upon some unknown OAFB metabolizing enzyme system in trout, upon free GSH levels in hepatic tissue, or that the levels of the cytochrome P-450 involved in AFB activation were not reflected by the observed total cytochrome P-450 levels. 

I have been doing research on the dietary effects of certain drugs on cattle. Unfortunately, my laboratory is on a minute budget and is not set-up properly for the manufacturing of 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine, A3-tetrahydrocannabinol, and tropinone. I feel these are important substances to gain knowledge for my project, so please send me the following ... 

Camosine (400 mg/day) together with omega-3-fatty acids (eicosa-pentaenonic acid) was employed in a study of dietary effects on dyslexic children. In this study there were no significant effects of the dietary supplements on a range of language skills and behavior problems (Kairaluoma et al., 2008).

Further reduction in cost of the chitinous supplement was achieved in two experiments with young ruminating neifers where we supplemented whey-rich rations with raw and demineralized crab meals (91.). Statistical analysis showed no significant dietary effect on net weight gain or feed efficiency for either experiment. Diarrhea increased by including whey alone in the ration. In contrast, the inclusion of either raw or demineralized crab meal alone in trie ration induced constipation. The addition of crab meal and whey to the ration restored feces to normal.

At the University of Toronto, studies examining specific dietary effects related to lowering blood cholesterol show that people adhere to a prescribed diet more faithfully and have reduced cholesterol levels when strawberries are included in daily meals. Such diets incorporate fruits, vegetables, soy products, prebiotic fiber (such as from oatmeal), plant sterols, and nuts. Look for references to this work in Appendix D and more information in Part III on the Portfolio diet...
