Background: Nutritional support of the burn patient is essential to optimize, host immune defenses and to promote prompt wound healing. Furthermore, the increased needs in calorie requirement of burned patients, the composition of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in their diet is important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intake and comparing wi...

OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of dietary intake from various protein and fat sources on the occurrence of microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this nested case control study, 1,150 patients with diabetes duration >5 years reported dietary habits for the previous 12 months and submitted urinary samples for the analysis of albumin excretion rate (AER...

The study was carried out on 120 crossbred Holstein × Shahiwal dairy cows for a period of 150 days to quantify the influence of dietary energy and protein intake on yield and composition of milk. Total 12 dairy farms having similar housing systems and holding at least 20 dairy cows in between mid to late lactation were selected for study purposes. The farms were located in the peri-urban and ur...

The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the evidence behind the dietary requirement of protein and to assess the health effects of varying protein intake in healthy adults. The literature search covered the years 2000-2011. Prospective cohort, case-control, and intervention studies were included. Out of a total of 5,718 abstracts, 412 full papers were identified as potentially releva...

twenty male raini goats with an average live weight of 30 ± 2.5 kg and 18 month of age. ,were used in a completely randomized design with 4 experimental diets and 5 replications to study effect of different levels by-pass(udp) protein(2.75, 4.86, 5.91 and 6.97 percent in dry matter) on growth and carcass characteristics. metabolismable energy (me) level of the all diets were similar (10.04 mj m...

results mean (sd) age of the patients was 57.6 (11.6) years. the average (sd) calorie and protein intake per day were 25.5 (4.6) kcal and 0.81 (0.2) mg, respectively. the mean and standard deviation of anthropometry variables of body mass index (bmi), mid-arm circumference (mac), tricipital skin-fold thickness (tst), mid-arm muscle circumference (mamc), and corrected mid-arm muscle area (cmama)...

The present systematic literature review is a part of the 5th revision of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. The aim was to assess the health effects of different levels of protein intake in infancy and childhood in a Nordic setting. The initial literature search resulted in 435 abstracts, and 219 papers were identified as potentially relevant. Full paper selection resulted in 37 quality-ass...

Dietary cholesterol intake increased dramatically over the past two decades in the elderly Chinese population. However, the nationwide dietary cholesterol intake and its related factors seldom been investigated. Based on data from 16,594 participants aged 60 years or older (49.0% male, 54.8% urban residents) from the China National Nutrition and Health Survey (CNHS) 2010-2012, we aimed to descr...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional parameters of young bulls supplemented with different ratios of protein: carbohydrate on tropical pastures from 4 until 18 months old. Fifty-five non-castrated beef calves (138.3±3.4 kg, 90 to 150 d of age) were used. The calves (young bulls) were subjected to a 430-d experimental period encompassing 4 seasons. The treatments were as fo...
