Studies on rats maintained on low-protein-calorie diets during the lactation period show that food intake decreases. This process results in weight loss and a delay in litter development. The purpose of the present study was to determine the alterations in food intake, maternal weight and litter growth during lactation when dams were exposed to diets with different levels of protein and carbohy...

We tried to make the relation between the state of nutritional intake and the life span of human beings clear by comparing them internationally. 1. Observing the correlation of nutrition and life span of both advanced and the other nations, the tendency is almost the same with that of the middle and low developed nations. It can be concluded that in any case the more the nutritional intake is, ...

THE AGING PROCESS RESULTS in an accelerated decline of functional capacity, but the mechanisms behind this decline are unclear (21, 22). The free radical theory of aging proposes that mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes an increase in cellular damage with age (9, 10). This theory has gained strong support because it is consistent with many of the processes and degen...

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Obesity results in reduced serum testosterone levels, which causes many disorders in men. Lifestyle modifications (increased physical activity and calorie restriction) can increase serum testosterone levels.

Both secondary data and experimental studies offer mixed results regarding the effect of calorie information on consumed calories. Our theoretical model provides foundations to explain heterogeneous responses found in empirical literature by identifying two opposing forces affecting intake. Informing consumers about content food alternatives can lead low-calorie decisions. However, relative dis...

This study aimed to compare the effects of activity-based personalized nutrition education (APNE) with a general instruction for diabetes (control, CTRL) in middle-aged and older Korean outpatients with type 2 diabetes. After an initial screening, 70 subjects were randomly assigned to APNE (n = 37) or CTRL (n = 33) group. APNE considered each patient's anthropometry, blood chemistry data, and d...

Inadequate oral intake is a prevalent and often difficult problem within this population, as increased calorie deficits are common i...
