Regulation of short-term energy intake involves the balance of positive drives to eat arising from the sight, smell and palatability of food with negative feedback signals from learned associations, gastrointestinal and metabolic signals. The stomach and small intestine are major sites in the feedback inhibition of food intake and subsequent period of appetite suppression. The present paper rev...

Malabsorption-maldigestion syndromes are commonly found in several gastrointestinal diseases. Quantitative measures of fecal nutrients are important tools for the detection and diagnosis of these syndromes. Adequate food intake is important in the nutrition of children, especially during the first year of life. We have analyzed 180 stools of healthy children, divided into four age groups, to ob...

1. The glycaemic response of healthy males to potato, bread, rice and green gram (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) was compared with that to meals equivalent to these foods in terms of carbohydrate, protein, fat and fibre content, but made up of maize flour, casein, maize oil and ispaghula husk. 2. Natural foods led to a higher postprandial glycaemia than their respective equivalents, but the difference...

Abstract: Retention of particulate and dissolved nutrients in streams is a major determinant of food availability to stream bio...

Increasing the inputs of nutrients has played a major role in increasing the supply of food to a continually growing world population. However, focusing attention on the most important nutrients, such as nitrogen (N), has in some cases led to nutrient imbalances, some excess applications especially of N, inefficient use and large losses to the environment with impacts on air and water quality, ...

Abstract Excess nutrientsfrom fertiliser application, pollution discharge and water regulations outflow through rivers from lands to oceans, seriously impact coastal ecosystems. Terrestrial runoff of waters polluted with nutrients (primarily nitrogen [N] phosphorus [P] compounds) point source/s, such as sewage treatment plant (STP) discharges, diffuse sourcesvia river losses, are having devasta...

Background: Cattle manure (CM) is the most common organic fertilizer used by farmers. However, its usually slow decomposition leads to the use of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, experiments on nano- and micro-sized particles of CM were conducted to evaluate the possibility of accelerating its decomposition in soil. Methods: The effects of a sole application of CM in different sizes (nano-, mi...

With the advent of present-day tools and techniques of analysis, it is possible and practical to measure accurately the essential trace element content of human foods. Although this is a major step forward in assessing nutrient needs and status, an important unknown remains. To meet nutritional requirements it is important to know not only the quantity consumed but the proportion of that consum...

background: healthy nutrition especially the energy intake and the essential nutrient in female student is so important. this study aimed to assess micro and macro nutrient intakes in female students of isfahan university of medical sciences.  methods: this cross-sectioned study was carried out on 100 female students aged between 18 to 25 years old in 1387-1388. anthropometrics measures were pe...
