Nutrient intakes, vascular and cognitive function were assessed at baseline and at the end of each 12-week phase. Differences between the ends of each phase were compared by general linear repeated measures ANOVA controlling for baseline. Pearson's correlation analyses determined relationships between differences in cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and cognitive function. Results: Intakes of bioactive nutrients increased during the peanut phase. CVR was 5% greater in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and 7% greater in the right MCA. Small artery elasticity was 10% greater after peanut consumption; large artery elasticity and blood pressure did not differ between phases. Measures of short-term memory, verbal fluency, and processing speed were also higher following the peanut phase; other cognitive measures did not change. Differences in CVR in the left MCA correlated with differences in delayed memory and recognition. Discussion: Regular peanut consumption improved cerebrovascular and cognitive function; increased intakes of bioactive nutrients may have mediated these improvements.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:31:08 AEDT ]]> Altered amino acid excretion in children with autism https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5352 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:59 AEDT ]]> Acute effects of a dietary non-starch polysaccharide supplement on cognitive performance in healthy middle-aged adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23864 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:38 AEDT ]]> Dose–response effect of L-theanine on psychomotor speed, sustained attention, and inhibitory control: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53416 Mon 27 Nov 2023 11:19:57 AEDT ]]>
