Nitrogen-Balance Studies on Rice Diets

Nitrogen-balance studies on rice diets.

During a series of experiments designed to study mineral metabolism on rice diets (Cullumbine, Basnayake, LeMottee & Wickramanayake, 1950), it was also found possible to estimate the nitrogen content of the food and excreta for the group of twelve subjects and so to determine whether there were any differences in the nitrogen metabolism of subjects when eating diets first high in unpolished ric...

Nitrogen Balance Studies on the Kempner Rice Diet.

Current interest in the dietary therapy of hypertensive states in man has been stimulated by Kempner's reports (1, 2, 3) of marked benefits achieved by his "rice diet." Dick and Schwartz (4) have reported that experimentally produced hypertension in dogs is favorably influenced by this regime, and Grollman and Harrison (5) have observed a significant reduction in the blood pressure of hypertens...

Mineral metabolism on rice diets.

Over half the population of the world eats a diet in which rice predominates and such a diet usually has a low mineral content. This is certainly true for the diets consumed by most of the people of Ceylon (Nicholls, 1936; Nicholls & Nimalasuriya, 1939; Bibile, Cullumbine, Watson & Wickramanayake, 1949; Cullumbine, ~gqga), and it is difficult to understand how these people can grow and maintain...

Influence of energy and nitrogen contents of enteral diets on nitrogen balance: a double blind prospective controlled clinical trial.

Results of recent controlled studies show that because of difficulties in administering adequate quantities of enteral diet, positive nitrogen balance is not consistently achieved during enteral feeding. In order to determine whether nitrogen balance can be improved in routine clinical practice by prescribing enteral diets containing higher concentrations of nutrients, 118 patients with normal ...
