Trial of low phosphorus diet using special protein

Phosphorus Supplementation Mitigated Food Intake and Growth of Rats Fed a Low-Protein Diet

Background: Low protein intake is associated with various negative health outcomes at any life stage. When diets do not contain sufficient protein, phosphorus availability is compromised because proteins are the major sources of phosphorus. However, whether mineral phosphorus supplementation mitigates this problem is unknown, to our knowledge. Objective: Our goal was to determine the impact of ...

Randomised controlled trial of one week strict low-iodine diet versus one week non-specified low iodine diet in differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Introduction: A low iodine diet (LID) is recommended prior to the Radioactive Iodine-131 (RAI) treatment or scanning in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) post total thyroidectomy. However, recommended strictness of LID is varying among major guidelines. This study was aim to investigate the patient’s compliance to LID by measuring the urinary iodine level post LID. <...

[qualitative Consideration of Dietary Protein in Low Protein Diet].

A randomized trial of a low-carbohydrate diet for obesity.

BACKGROUND Despite the popularity of the low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat (Atkins) diet, no randomized, controlled trials have evaluated its efficacy. METHODS We conducted a one-year, multicenter, controlled trial involving 63 obese men and women who were randomly assigned to either a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet or a low-calorie, high-carbohydrate, low-fat (conventio...

Autophagy activation in COL6 myopathic patients by a low-protein-diet pilot trial

A pilot clinical trial based on nutritional modulation was designed to assess the efficacy of a one-year low-protein diet in activating autophagy in skeletal muscle of patients affected by COL6/collagen VI-related myopathies. Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy and Bethlem myopathy are rare inherited muscle disorders caused by mutations of COL6 genes and for which no cure is yet available. St...
