From personal experience on low fat diets and through experience gained treating patients with low fat diets, the authors suggest that when such a diet is prescribed carefully it may be quite palatable and also reduce serum cholesterol concentration. The principles of a low fat diet and methods for making the diet appetizing are presented. Sample diet instruction sheets which can be individuali...

Total body composition of mice bearing Krebs-@ carcinoma transplanted subcuta neously was studied at several times during the course of tumor growth. Adult male Swiss mice, averaging 38 gin. in weight, sustained a profound fat loss during growth of Krebs-@ tumor. Fat depletion occurred in three stages. The first stage, involving loss of approximately 50 per cent of the lipide of the animal, occ...

A new composition of fat shortening based on hydrogenated cottonseed oil with different iodine numbers has been proposed. Palm and solid animal are used as an additional component. Changes in the content triglycerides depending their melting point were determined. Hydrogenated is obtained by saturating dispersed stationary catalysts. The plasticity range shortenings was studied triglycerides. S...

Fatty acids characteristic of ruminant-animal fat have been found to be present in significantly lower proportions in samples from the depot fat of persons dying of ischaemic heart disease (cases) than in specimens from persons dying of unrelated causes (controls). Although such acids are also present, in lesser amounts, in hydrogenated marine oils, this case-versus-control difference is diffic...

OBJECTIVE Evidence is sparse and contradictory regarding the association between low-carbohydrate diet score and type 2 diabetes risk, and no prospective study examined the association among Asians, who consume greater amount of carbohydrate. We prospectively investigated the association of low-carbohydrate diet score with type 2 diabetes risk. METHODS Participants were 27,799 men and 36,875 ...

A generic daily time-step model of animal growth and metabolism for cattle and sheep is described. It includes total BW as well as protein, water, and fat components, and also energy components associated with the growth of protein and fat, and activity costs. Protein decay is also incorporated, along with the energy costs of resynthesising degraded protein. Protein weight is taken to be the pr...

BACKGROUND Dietary fat has been inconsistently associated with the risk of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between meat and animal and plant fat intake and breast cancer risk in subgroups by total lifetime physical activity, using data from a case-control study conducted in the Region of Western Pomerania, Poland. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study includ...

In the past decade, a substantial number of case-control and cohort studies have addressed the relationship between fat intake and the incidence of colon and breast cancer. Among the more recent case-control studies of colon or rectal cancer, relatively consistent findings have emerged indicating positive relationships with animal fat or red meat intake. In two large recent prospective studies,...
