The Use of Sweet Almond Meal as a Protein Source in Japanese Quails Diets

In the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (AME), AME corrected for nitrogen (AMEn), true metabolizable energy (TME), TME corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult Leghorn cockerels. The second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...

Variation in fasting and postprandial amino acids of men fed adequate or protein-free diets.

R APID, RELIABLE, and sensitive criteria of protein-nutrition status are essential to diagnosis of subclinical deficiency. Several investigators have suggested that the amount or pattern, or both, of free amino acids in plasma is one such index. Generally, essential amino acids (EAA) are found to be reduced and the nonessential ones (NEAA) to be elevated in plasma of children suffering from pro...

Protein and vegetarian diets.

A vegetarian diet can easily meet human dietary protein requirements as long as energy needs are met and a variety of foods are eaten. Vegetarians should obtain protein from a variety of plant sources, including legumes, soy products, grains, nuts and seeds. Eggs and dairy products also provide protein for those following a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet. There is no need to consciously combine diff...

Varying protein source and quantity do not significantly improve weight loss, fat loss, or satiety in reduced energy diets among midlife adults.

We hypothesized that a whey protein diet would result in greater weight loss and improved body composition compared with standard weight loss diets. Weight change, body composition, and renin-angiotensin aldosterone system activity in midlife adults were compared between diet groups. Eighteen subjects enrolled in a 5-month study of 8-week controlled food intake followed by 12-weeks ad libitum i...
