This study compared the satiating properties of three liquid lunches (450 kcal each), one dominant in protein (71.5% of energy), a second in carbohydrates (99% of energy) and a third containing an equal mixture of the first two formulations, in a within-subjects, repeated measures design. At an ad libitum dinner meal, 12 women consumed 31% more kilocalories in the high-carbohydrate lunch condit...

Optimum temperature and temperature coefficient of protein synthesis in young wheat plants exhibit phenotypical temperature adaptation. In plants grown for 2 days at either chilling (4 C), medium (20 C), or high (36 C) temperature the respective values are: 27 C and 14.2 kilocalories per mole, 31 C and 18.2 kilocalories per mole, 35 C and 23.6 kilocalories per mole, based on in vivo [(14)C]leuc...

BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested that physical activity is positively associated with cognitive function in elderly persons. Evidence about this association has been limited by the cross-sectional design of most studies and by the frequent lack of adjustment for potential confounding variables. We determined whether physical activity is associated with cognitive decline in a prospectiv...

BACKGROUND Habitual physical activity (PA) has both physiologic and metabolic effects that may moderate the risk of kidney function decline. We tested the hypothesis that higher levels of PA are associated with a lower risk of kidney function decline using longitudinal data from a large cohort of older adults. METHODS We studied 4011 ambulatory participants aged 65 or older from the Cardiovas...

the study assessed the quantity and value of food crop outputs of the gender categories in the anambra state. at this research estimated the quantity and energy content of food stuffs consumed as well as required by each gender headed households, estimated the extent and magnitude of food security and insecurity in the area among the gender categories and examined the determinants of food secur...

OBJECTIVE To determine the visual, spatial, and/or statistical relationships between food availability/dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). METHODS CVD mortality rates and diet information (the number of kilocalories and amount of alcohol, fats, fish, fruits, meats, sugars, and vegetables available per person daily) were obtained from int...

The reaction is endergonic,2 requiring approximately 2 kilocalories per mole for carbamyl-P synthesis at the optimal pH of the reaction. The second mode of synthesis of carbamyl-P, found in extracts of mammalian and frog livers, requires 2 moles of ATP per mole of carbamyl-P formed (3) as well as a coenzyme, N-acetyl-nglutamic acid’ (Equation 2) (4). 0 AGA NHaHCOs + 2ATP ,_____ N&C’kPOi+ PADP +...

Extraction of oil from dried distillers grains has become a common practice among US ethanol producers. The valuable oil has been diverted to markets other than poultry feed, leaving new dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) products higher in fiber and purportedly lower in ME. This study compared 3 DDGS products with 10.3, 7.3, or 5.2% ether extract, respectively, with a corn-soy contro...
