background : the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has increased to a considerable level internationally. one of the most important causes of childhood obesity is the lack of meal frequency. self-efficacy has been considered as one of the most important psychological factors which can affect nutritional behaviors of adolescents in previous studies. thus, the ai...

The nutritional value of raw Jack bean meal (Canavalia ensiformis) as a partial substitute for soybeans meal was investigated in this study. Preliminary investigation on nutrient composition revealed that lysine, histidine, and phenylalanine were significantly higher in C. ensiformis seed meal compared to soybean meal. However, crude protein and other essential amino acids were significantly lo...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of different levels of canola meal of different fat sources on the egg quality, performance as well egg yolk cholesterol during the first 12 weeks of age in laying hens (hy-line w-36). throughout the experiment a total of 432 hens were employed in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 3×4, with three levels of canola me...

In this study, iron absorption from a tempe fermented whole-grain barley meal was measured, and results were compared to in vitro estimation of available iron from an equivalent meal. The tempe meal (TM) was prepared from barley fermented with Rhizopus oligosporus to reduce the phytate content <0.5 mol/g. Boiled barley with preserved phytate content was used as reference meal (BBM). Iron was ad...

The biological values of the proteins of pea meal, rye bread (baked from 70 % rye flour by the Municipal Bakeries in Warsaw), of two mixtures of wheat rolls and pea meal and of two mixtures of rye bread and pea meal have been determined by the method of Osborne et al. [1919]. The bread was dried at 350 and the dry product ground in a mill. The peas were boiled, dried and ground. The following m...

Astaxanthin is a caroteonid that possesses strong antioxidant activity. Recently, many studies on biological activity have been reported. In general, the absorption of carotenoids is affected greatly by diet and by smoking. In this report, we investigated astaxanthin pharmacokinetics after administration of Haematococcus algal extract, a source of astaxanthin, to smokers and nonsmokers before a...

24 A study was conducted with Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) to determine the 25 apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of protein, phosphorus and energy in 26 practical feed ingredients. The digestible energy (DE) content was also evaluated. 27 Test ingredients were anchovy fishmeal, solvent-extracted soybean meal, corn 28 gluten and wheat meal. Due to their low cohesion, sole faeces...

BACKGROUND Meal skipping rates may be highest during young adulthood, a period of transition and development. Although these dietary behaviours may increase future risk of chronic disease, limited research has investigated correlates of meal skipping in young adults. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies that investigated correlates of meal skipping behaviou...

Thirty-six four-way cross (Chester White X Landrace X Large White X Yorkshire) growing barrows and gilts were used to investigate the effects of replacing graded levels of protein from soybean meal with equivalent levels of protein from rubber seed meal in 16% CP semipurified diets on the performance characteristics, hematocrit, plasma metabolites and N utilization of pigs. The first diet (cont...

Strong epidemiological evidence suggests that slow prenatal or postnatal growth is associated with an increased risk of CVD and other metabolic diseases. However, little is known whether early growth affects postprandial metabolism and, especially, the appetite regulatory hormone system. Therefore, we investigated the impact of early growth on postprandial appetite regulatory hormone responses ...
