Blood pressure in relationship to dietary and whole blood ionic magnesium in normotensive subjects
(2000)The primary purpose o f this investigation was to examine the relationship between dietary and whole blood ionic magnesium (iMg) and measures of blood pressure (BP) (SBP-systolic BP; DBP-diastolic BP; MAP-mean arterial ... -
Effect of chromium supplementation on blood glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2003)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chromium supplementation on the blood glucose control of individuals with type 2 diabetes. A positive finding would result in substantial health and financial ... -
Effect of oral glutamine supplementation on resting blood and saliva immune parameters in endurance trained athletes
(2001)There is considerable evidence suggesting that frequent, intense, long duration exercise is associated with adverse effects on the immune system as shown by a decrease in immune cell numbers and function. This may ... -
Effects of antioxidant vitamin supplementation on resistance exercise induced lipid peroxidation in trained and untrained participants
(2003)High intensity aerobic-type exercise produces oxygen free radicals that can cause damage to lipid membranes (lipid peroxidation) that may lead to many problems such as the inactivation of cell membrane enzymes, the ... -
Health, fitness, and life satisfaction in retired teachers
(2000)The purpose of this study was to describe the health, fitness, and life satisfaction of retired teachers in Thunder Bay. Forty retired teachers (24 women, 16 men) aged 55 to 70 years participated in the study. Fitness ... -
Implication of introducing body checking in ice hockey at different ages
(1997)The main purpose of this research was to compare the rate of body checking injuries between two Provinces that introduce body checking at different ages (age 12 versus 14). Three teams from Ontario (body checking introduced ... -
Incidence of hematuria with middle distance track running interval training
(1996)The purpose of this study was to answer the question, “Do middle distance track athletes experience hematuria with their normal competitive season interval workouts?” Secondary purposes were (1) to identify the type of ... -

Relationships between iron status and academic performance / by Tony Valente
(2007)Adolescent females are susceptible to iron deficiency. Iron may be linked to cognition based on its contribution to central nervous system function. Effects of iron deficiency may be reflected in academic performance as ... -
Relationships between iron status and measures of attention & memory / by Louie Valente.
(2007)Iron plays a role in cognition. Iron deficiency can lead to abnormal dopaminergic neurotransmission and deficits in attention and memory. The objective of the present study was to assess the relationship between iron status, ... -
The effect of discontinuing iron supplementation on the iron status of women
(1992)Twenty four women were studied in order to examine the effect that discontinued iron supplementation has on the hematological values of serum ferritin, serum iron and hemoglobin. Initially, 111 female volunteers were ... -
Variability of ionic magnesium
(2001)With the invention o f the ion-selective electrode, ionic magnesium (iMg), the biologically active form of Mg, is a common blood assay. There is some evidence that iMg has considerable within subject variability. To ...
