BACKGROUND Frequent consumption of nuts may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by favorably altering serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. OBJECTIVE We compared the effects of 2 amounts of almond intake with those of a National Cholesterol Education Program Step I diet on serum lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, and glucose in healthy and mildly hypercholesterolemic adults. ...

The experimental rations commonly used in studies on the vitamin B(2) complex are, as a rule, low in content of choline. Addition of vitamin B(6) has an aggravating influence on the specific effect of deficiency of choline, especially with regard to the development of cortical necrosis of the kidneys. The acute and subacute lesions associated with this specific type of renal injury are describe...

We have recently demonstrated that chronic infusion of exogenous ANG II, which induces blood pressure elevation, attenuates renal medullary endothelin B (ET(B)) receptor function in rats. Moreover, this was associated with a reduction of ET(B) receptor expression in the renal inner medulla. The aim of this present work was to investigate the effect of a physiological increase in endogenous ANG ...

Twenty-eight Holstein cows (4 with ruminal cannulas) were blocked by days in milk into 7 groups and then randomly assigned to 1 of 7 balanced 4 x 4 Latin square diet sequences. The diets contained [dry matter (DM) basis] 20% alfalfa silage, 35% corn silage, and 45% concentrate mainly from high-moisture corn and soybean meal. Diets differed in crude protein (CP) content and source of protein sup...

Almond consumption is associated with ameliorations in obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. The hypothesis of this 12-week randomized crossover clinical trial was that almond consumption would improve glycemic control and decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease in 20 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (9 male, 11 female; 58 years old; body mass index...

1. By the feeding of a particular diet, apparently lacking a substance closely associated with vitamin B(2) G, a chronic disease may be produced irregularly in dogs. 2. The disease is characterized by atrophic glossitis, diarrhea, loss of weight, and anemia. 3. The disease can be prevented and relieved by materials rich in vitamin B(2) G.

Multiple experiments were conducted with a mammalian herbivore to determine how experience with plant secondary metabolites (terpenes and tannins) influenced acquisition of new aversions to diets containing these same plant metabolites. Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) were employed as behavioral models for this study. Twenty-four subjects were assigned to three treatment groups that received 20 d...

This study aims to determine the effect of learning models and IQ on knowledge a healthy balanced nutritious diet. Used an experimental research method with treatment design by level 2x2. The results (1) there is difference in increase students who are given jigsaw type cooperative model guided inquiry based value F(OA) = 50.109 p-value 0,000 < 0,05. (2) There interaction between (factor A) ...
