Role of Nutrition Education in Pharmacy Curriculum-Students' Perspectives and Attitudes.

Unlabelled: Many pharmacists report they lack nutritional knowledge and believe the best time to educate pharmacists about nutrition is during pharmacy school.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine if today's pharmacy students receive education in nutrition and if they realize the importance of a nutrition course.

Methods: Ninety-five pharmacy students attending pharmacy school were surveyed in two pharmacy schools in the United States.

Dietary sugars stimulate fatty acid synthesis in adults.

The goal of this study was to determine the magnitude by which acute consumption of fructose in a morning bolus would stimulate lipogenesis (measured by infusion of 13C1-acetate and analysis by GC-MS) immediately and after a subsequent meal. Six healthy subjects [4 men and 2 women; aged (mean +/- SD) 28 +/- 8 y; BMI, 24.3 +/- 2.

Breakfast eating and weight change in a 5-year prospective analysis of adolescents: Project EAT (Eating Among Teens).

Objective: Breakfast-eating frequency declines through adolescence and has been inversely associated with body weight in cross-sectional studies, with few prospective studies on this topic. This study was conducted to examine the association between breakfast frequency and 5-year body weight change in 2216 adolescents.

Patients And Methods: Project EAT (Eating Among Teens) was a 5-year longitudinal study of eating patterns and weight concerns among adolescents.

Breakfast frequency and quality in the etiology of adult obesity and chronic diseases.

The frequency of eating breakfast has declined over the past several decades, during which time the obesity epidemic has also unfolded. Therefore, there is growing scientific interest in the possible causal role of breakfast in weight control and related disease risks. We conducted a MedLine search for studies that addressed meal frequency, breakfast consumption, and chronic disease risk.

Increased dietary substrate delivery alters hepatic fatty acid recycling in healthy men.

Sources of fatty acids flowing to the liver may be used for triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. Our objective was to quantify contributions of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), de novo lipogenesis, and dietary fatty acids to VLDL-TAG in the fed state after meal feeding in healthy subjects (n = 6). The effect of substrate delivery rate was also determined by comparison with data obtained under a continuous-feeding regimen.

Spillover of dietary fatty acids and use of serum nonesterified fatty acids for the synthesis of VLDL-triacylglycerol under two different feeding regimens.

The present study quantified dietary fatty acid flux in healthy men (n = 6) who were fed a liquid formula through a duodenal feeding tube (continuous feeding group) or who consumed the same formula in meals (meal feeding group). A triacylglycerol (TAG) stable isotope was added to the formula to determine the entry of dietary fatty acids into the serum and its clearance to the liver and resecretion into serum via VLDL. The contribution of dietary fatty acids to serum nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) was higher with meal feeding (24.

Temporal pattern of de novo lipogenesis in the postprandial state in healthy men.

Background: Recent data suggest that hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) is elevated in the fed state compared with the fasting state, but the rate at which lipogenesis can increase with meal consumption is currently unknown.

Objective: The objective was to quantify the diurnal pattern of lipogenesis after 2 consecutive mixed meals were fed to healthy men (n = 8).

Design: A liquid diet was administered after a 12-h fast.

Behavior change outcomes in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education within an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.

Design: Subjects were assigned, according to participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs in two community hospitals within an integrated healthcare system, to either a treatment (n=54), or a control group (n=50).

Subjects/setting: One hundred four men and women, age range 35 to 85 years, participating in a 6-week cardiac rehabilitation program.
