The link between dietary carbohydrate/protein and de novo lipogenesis (DNL) remains debatable in carnivorous fish. We aimed to evaluate and compare the response of hepatic lipogenic gene expression to dietary carbohydrate intake/glucose and dietary protein intake/amino acids (AAs) during acute stimulations using both in vivo and in vitro approaches. For the in vivo trial, three different diets ...

BACKGROUND Protein is an indispensable component within the human diet. It is unclear, however, whether behavioral strategies exist to avoid shortages. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the effect of a low protein status compared with a high protein status on food intake and food preferences. DESIGN We used a randomized crossover design that consisted of a 14-d fully controlled die...

background studying the malnutrition-related factors in adolescents and trying to eliminate this problem is one of the important factors in health and in constant development. the aim of this study was evaluating demographic indices respecting dietary intake of the most essential nutrients in female adolescent students. material and methods one hundred and seventy female adolescent high school ...

Protein intake that exceeds the recommended daily allowance is widely accepted for both endurance and power athletes. However, considering the variety of proteins that are available much less is known concerning the benefits of consuming one protein versus another. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze key factors in order to make responsible recommendations to both the general a...

The Daniel Fast is a biblically inspired dietary program rich in carbohydrate, most closely resembling a vegan diet but with additional restrictions, including the elimination of processed foods, white flour products, preservatives, additives, sweeteners, caffeine, and alcohol. While no specific requirements are placed on the ingestion of specific percentages of macronutrients, the mean daily c...

Adult dogs were given a proteinless diet plus casein, 80 calories/kilo, 0.4 gm. nitrogen/kilo/day. Sterile controlled inflammation was produced by subcutaneous injection of turpentine. The reaction is characterized by local swelling, induration, and abscess formation, terminated by rupture or incision after 3 to 5 days and by general reactions of malaise, fever, leucocytosis, and increased urin...

the bulk of our knowledge on immunosuppression in malnutrition comes from the experiments done on cell-mediated immunity. however, malnutrition-induced modifications of humoral immunity have been less understood. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of acute protein-energy malnutrition on serum levels of immunoglobulins and their subclasses in murine models. male and female ...

High protein intake in early childhood is associated with obesity, suggesting possible adverse effects on other cardiometabolic outcomes. However, studies in adults have suggested beneficial effects of protein intake on blood pressure (BP) and lipid profile. Whether dietary protein intake is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health in children is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to syste...

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of goiter and hypothyroidism in two groups of the population at various stages of social development and to determine its association with malnutrition and dietary intake. Aboriginal inhabitants (Orang Asli), a resettlement rural village (Betau Post), a traditional village in the jungle (Lanai Post) and a modern village settlement near Kua...
