background: the incidence of ulcerative colitis (uc) is rising in populations with western-style diet, rich in fat and protein, and low in fruits and vegetables. in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the association between dietary protein intakes and the risk of developing incident uc.   methods : sixty two cases of uc and 124 controls were studied using country-specific food frequency qu...

Background: Proteins are known mainly based on their metabolic and nutritional functions including protein synthesis and a source of energy. In spite of various physiological properties attributed to proteins, their functions have neither been addressed by assessing quality of proteins nor by nutrition and dietetic practices. Methods: Studies were included if they were randomized animal studies...

This paper aims to describe different approaches for studying the overall diet with advantages and limitations. Studies of the overall diet have emerged because the relationship between dietary intake and health is very complex with all kinds of interactions. These cannot be captured well by studying single dietary components. Three main approaches to study the overall diet can be distinguished...

K.Prakash, R.Sivakumar Abstract— A healthy diet and lifestyle are the most effective approaches to prevent disease. When a person eats too much or too little on a continual basis, the risk of disease will increase. Therefore, developing healthy and balanced eating habits is essential to disease prevention. This study proposes an intelligent diet food recommendation multi-agent (IDFRMA), includi...

Background: Numerous models show that if morphology and diet are correlated, frequencydependent competition will lead to fitness differences among phenotypically dissimilar individuals within a species. Hypothesis: Selection acts primarily on diet, and only indirectly on morphology via its correlation with diet. Field sites and organism: British Columbia, Canada; 340 individual threespine stick...

The dietary niche and morphological adaptations of a species should be highly correlated. However, conflicting selective pressures may make predictions about diet difficult without additional knowledge of a species’ life history. We tested the reliability of predicting a bat’s diet from its wing morphology using data for Spix’s diskwinged bat (Thyroptera tricolor). The species had been predicte...

Background and Objectives: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy with a reduced content of sodium, saturated fat, and total fat is introduced as an appropriate diet for hypertension. This eating pattern was basically designed to normalize blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and a large body of d...

Aside from the pervasive effects of body mass, much controversy exists as to what factors account for interspecific variation in basal metabolic rates (BMR) of mammals; however, both diet and phylogeny have been strongly implicated. We examined variation in BMR within the New World bat family Phyllostomidae, which shows the largest diversity of food habits among mammalian families, including fr...

More data are needed providing strong evidence that nutrition services are cost-effective. Economic evaluations, such as cost-effectiveness analyses, are excellent practice-based research projects. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis in a clinical setting to compare the cost-effectiveness of lipid-lowering medications plus diet therapy (medication + diet) with diet therapy alone (diet al...

AIM Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a globally recognized liver disease. A methionine- and choline-deficient diet is used to induce NASH in mice; however, this diet also causes severe body weight loss. To resolve this issue, we examined the effects of methionine content in a high-fat and choline-deficient (HFCD) diet on body weight and the development of NASH in mice. METHODS C57BL/6J...
