background: breast milk is important for the overall well-being of infants. although lactation is relatively robust in the face of poor nutrition, the implication of poor nutrition on non-nutritive factors in breast milk is inconclusive. objective: this study was designed to find associations between nutritional and immune factors in maternal blood and breast milk with the aim to improve the ne...

Determination of forage quality of plant species in natural habitats such as rangelands and deserts is one of the most important factors for grazing management of these ecosystems. For this purpose, the nutritional values of Calligonum comosum in three phenological stages (vegetative growth, flowering, and seedling) were determined in desert habitats located in the northeast of Kashan, Iran (in...

This study aimed to nutritionally and technologically characterize the meat produced by rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Flemish Giant breed, 50 farmed individuals) hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, hunted individuals). Muscles were sampled from several carcass regions: dorsal torso—Longissimus dorsi (LD), thigh—Semimembranosus (SM), upper arm—Triceps brachii (TB). To better depict meat’s nutritional...

Abstract The aim of our study was to evaluate the technological (pH, water-holding capacity, cooking loss, oxidation-reduction potential, water activity, color parameters, and microbiological purity) nutritional suitability meat selected lamb breeds by analyzing indicators (fatty acid profile, fat indices, lipid oxidation, basic composition) that determine quality lipids present in meat. A comp...

To study associations between nutritional status and mercury exposure among communities of the Beni River. Cross-sectional survey of mothers and their children from 15 riverside Amerindian communities in the Beni River valley (Amazonian Bolivia). Hair mercury content (H-Hg) served as a bioindicator of mercury exposure. A total of 556 people were measured. Anthropometric indices of nutrition wer...

CONTEXT Although several studies have examined peri-operative nutritional supplementation in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy all provided support at various timepoints with a variety of protocols. OBJECTIVE This study undertakes a detailed nutritional and anthropometric assessment of patients due to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy with particular reference to pre-operative nutriti...
