Dietary protein quality and malnutrition in Africa.
The WHO (2007) Technical Report on protein and amino acid requirements in human nutrition states that the best estimate for a population average requirement is 105 mg nitrogen/kg body weight per day, or 0·66 g protein/kg body weight per day. In many developing countries protein intake falls significantly short of these values. Apart from protein quantity, protein quality including bioavailabili...
متن کاملDietary Cancer Chemoprevention: An Overview

متن کاملOverview: Dietary fat and atherosclerosis.
Research on the effects of dietary fat on cholesterolemia and coronary risk began with comparisons of the amount and type of fat (saturated vs unsaturated). It then became clear that not all fatty acids had similar cholesterolemic effects and equations were derived which gave different weights to saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. We now find that the triglyceride structure also plays a rol...
متن کاملRabies Infection: An Overview of Lyssavirus-Host Protein Interactions
Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that use cell proteins to take the control of the cell functions in order to accomplish their life cycle. Studying the viral-host interactions would increase our knowledge of the viral biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis. Studies on pathogenesis mechanisms of lyssaviruses, which are the causative agents of rabies, have revealed some important ho...
متن کاملEffect of dietary protein quality on the brain protein synthesis rate in aged rats.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the quality of dietary protein affects the rate of brain protein synthesis in aged rats. Experiments were conducted on three groups of aged rats (30 wk) given diets containing 20 g casein, 20 g gluten or 20 g gelatin/100 g for 10 d. The fractional rates of protein synthesis in the brain, liver and kidney declined with the decrease in quality of...
