Circadian clocks that comprise clock genes exist throughout the body and control daily physiological events. The central clock that dominates activity rhythms is entrained by light/dark cycles, whereas peripheral clocks regulating local metabolic rhythms are determined by feeding/fasting cycles. Nutrients reset peripheral circadian clocks and the local clock genes control downstream metabolic p...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer and the cause of many cancer deaths worldwide. Nutrients might be crucial in the pathogenesis and development of colorectal cancer. Although a number of studies have demonstrated the potential effects of nutrients, many challenges still remain. SUMMARY A tremendous amount of research has emerged concerning the roles of nutrients in c...

A balanced diet with sufficient essential nutritional elements is critical for maintaining a healthy body.[...].

Summa y and Cmlusions The losses of nutrients in the cooking and plate waste of milk, eggs, fish and meat and the losses in the storage and preparation of vegctables have been studied. Records are presented also of waste in school and other canteens. Scrambling is the most wasteful method of cooking eggs. Thermostatically controlled panv would reduce the waste in cooking eggs. The filleting of ...

There is considerable debate over the content of dietary advice to be given to individuals within the United Kingdom, and most other industrialized countries, and the most effective way of presenting this advice. In the present paper I would like to debate the merits of giving advice in terms of recommendations about nutrients or in terms of foods. In doing this I will not be concerned in detai...

Nutrients are generally conceived as dietary substances which the body requires more-or-less continuously, within a particular dosage range, to protect against developing the characteristic syndromes that occur when they are deficient. However some nutrients - when given apart from their usual food sources or at higher doses than those obtained from the diet - can also exercise pharmacologic ef...

Milk quality is usually defined in terms of mastitis. Milk with a low somatic cell count (SCC) and is visibly normal (no clots) is considered high quality. Although these measures are clearly important, the definition of high quality milk must be expanded. To ensure a continued growing demand by consumers for dairy products, milk and dairy products must also taste good. A consumer that has a ba...

A set of maps are presented of nutrient distribution on isopycnal surfaces in the North and tropical Atlantic Ocean main thermocline. The data used in producing these maps are from the Transient Tracers in the Oceans (TTO) North Atlantic Study and Tropical Atlantic Study, an associated German study (Meteor 56/5), two cross-Atlantic sections from cruise 109 of the Atlantis II, and the GEOSECS pr...

Glucoamylases, containing starch-binding domains (SBD), have a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. Random mutagenesis and DNA shuffling of the gene encoding a starch-binding domain have resulted in only minor improvements in the affinities of the corresponding protein to their ligands, whereas circular permutation of the RoCBM21 substantially improved its binding affinity and ...
