Vegetables are essential for well-balanced diets. About 3 billion people in the world are malnourished due to imbalanced diets. Vegetables can contribute to the prevention of malnutrition disorders. Genetic engineering enables vegetable breeders to incorporate desired transgenes into elite cultivars, thereby improving their value considerably. It further offers unique opportunities for improvin...

Abstract Calcium is responsible for the effectiveness of various processes, and its supply in diet necessary normal function human body. Apart from being an important component skeleton, calcium also helps maintain structure cell organelles regulates intracellular extracellular fluid homeostasis. This review presents nutritional health factors that affect bioavailability calcium. Physiological ...

due to increased bone resorption and reduced bone formation. The decrease in bone mass induces osteoporosis, which is widely recognized as a major public health problem. The most dramatic expression of this disease is represented by fractures of the proximal femur. Pharmacologic and nutritional factors may prevent bone loss with increasing age. Chemical compounds in food that act on bone metabo...
