Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / November 2005Plant-based diet / oxidative stress
Int J Biol Markers. 2005 Jul-Sep;20(3):169-76. Related Articles, Links Plant-based diet, serum fatty acid profile, and free radicals in postmenopausal women: the diet and androgens (DIANA) randomized trial. Colombo C, Muti P, Pala V, Cavalleri A, Venturelli E, Locardi M, Berrino F, Secreto G. Hormone Research Laboratory, Istituto Nazionale per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori, Milan, Italy. High calorie and fat consumption and the production of free radicals are two major mechanistic pathways between diet and disease. In this study we evaluated the effect of a plant-based diet poor in animal fat and rich in (n-3) fatty acids on fatty acids of serum phospholipids and on the production of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs). One hundred and four healthy female postmenopausal volunteers were recruited and randomized to a dietary intervention or a control group. Dietary intervention included a program of food education and biweekly common meals for 18 weeks. When the intervention and control groups were compared, it was seen that dietary intervention resulted in a significant reduction of saturated fatty acids (-1.5%) and a significant increase in (n-3) fatty acids (+20.6%), in particular docosahexaenoic acid (+24.8%). We observed that arachidonic acid decreased (-7.7%), while (n-6) fatty acids did not, and the (n-3)/(n-6) polyunsaturated ratio increased significantly (+24.1%). As expected, ROMs decreased significantly in the intervention group (-6%). The results indicated that a plant-based diet can improve the serum fatty acid profile and decrease ROMs production. These results suggest that a plant-based diet may reduce the body's exposure to oxidative stress.

Too funny till this day. Sheesh, now why didn't I think of this when our troll showed her face again? I'm going to take a page out of this group's book and write a FAQ about our troll if she appears (hope not!) again. Strange how the much the ASMS troll and this one have in common. Sounds to me like both have the same illness, and it's not the one the NGs are about. Lawsuit threats, delusions of conspiracies against them. . .and I'd bet my bottom dollar that this Diana creature has written ugly backchannel rants as well. Actually, it's not funny; it's very sad that someone is compelled to engage in such behavior on a support group. And it's also sad that they drive people who need support away. . . I should write more about trolls; hey, this could be a bestseller! Sylvia Go ahead and adapt the FAQ as needed, Sylv. It's not copyright protected. Hope it helps your NG! Regards from Rosie S.

I do enjoy reading the pub med articles you post. A few over the years I passed on to my sister. I wanted to say thanks for posting those that were of help to her and to let you know she died a few days after surgery. But she was happy to read anything medical that related to her conditions. So thanks again, Tom -- one never knows what will help who.

And I'll make this even briefer: get the hell out of here. We KNOW who you are now, so get lost. The game;s up. And you can report and record until the cows come home; nothing is going to change what you are and what you're doing. Sylvia Let us correct the misleading subject line. It was a plant based diet of a specific kind which included low saturated fats and specific kinds of fat. To show how this might work in the real world, the world's number one place for the metabolic syndrome which is related to high oxidative stress also consumes an almost entirely plant based diet, but one different then the specific one in the study. Attempts to over generalize can lead to incorrect conclusions and specific lab results fail in the lab of the real world. Let us correct the misleading subject line. It was a plant based diet of a specific kind which included low saturated fats and specific kinds of fat. << You're .. right .. It should have been titled ..

So that means vegetarians don't get MS, right? WRONG. Explain how I got it, then. Or get the hell out of here. Sylvia ""vegetarian .. diet .. leads to decreased oxidative stress " Sorry, this is not an improvement. It was a specific plant based diet, low saturated fat and other things. It still does not account for the metabolic syndrome and related oxidative stress being highest in an area where an almost complete plant based diet is standard. The study was about a high calorie diet and a high saturated fat intake. A plant based diet was an obvious choice to control the high saturated fat intake part. |
