The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of a lifestyle intervention programme, combined with a daily low-glycaemic index meal replacement, on body-weight and glycaemic control in subjects with impaired glucose regulation (IGR). Subjects with IGR were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n 46) and a control group (n 42). Both groups received health counselling at basel...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a meal-replacement regimen vs. comprehensive lifestyle changes in overweight or obese subjects on intra-abdominal fat stores (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements) and cardiometabolic risk factors. Forty-two obese men (n = 18) and women (n = 24) (age 49 ± 8 years; weight 96.3 ± 12.1 kg; BMI 32.7 ± 2.3 kg/m2) were selected fo...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the nutritive value of copra meal for grower and finisher pigs (40–95 kg). 21 The apparent nutrient digestibility of copra meal, when included at 200 and 400 g kg in the diet of both the grower and finisher pig, was determined in experiment 1. In experiment 2, productive performance was determined in group fed pigs 21 (n 5 360) offered diets ad libitu...

BACKGROUND There is concern that recommending protein-enriched meal replacements as part of a weight management program could lead to changes in biomarkers of liver or renal function and reductions in bone density. This study was designed as a placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing two isocaloric meal plans utilizing either a high protein-enriched (HP) or a standard protein (SP) meal repla...

Abstract The present study investigated the potential use of defatted black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) meal as a protein source in formulated feed for juvenile lobsters, Panulirus ornatus . A total 160 heads lobsters with initial weight 0.24 ± 0.01 g and length 21.77 0.32 mm were distributed evenly into 16 rectangular fiberglass aquaria kept individually 8 weeks feeding experiment. Four ...

Two experiments were conducted to determine if fermented corn protein can serve as a replacement enzymatically treated soybean meal and what the effects may be with high or low branch chain amino acids (BCAA):Leu ratios on nursery pig performance. In Exp. 1, total of 350 barrows (200 × 400, DNA; initially 13.2 lb) randomly allotted 1 5 treatments pigs per pen 14 replications treatment. Dietary ...
