Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common chronic mental disorder among children. Children with ADHD may be at risk for a variety of nutrients' deficiencies. We aimed to assess the nutrients' intakes among ADHD children and compare them with the healthy ones. Methods: This was a hospital-based case-control survey over 120 ADHD as the cases and 240 non-ADHD c...

The effects of post-rumen supply of nutrients on the rumen digesta load and voluntary consumption of roughage by Border Leicester X Merino ram lambs was investigated. A chopped wheaten hay was offered to the ram lambs (n 24), whose nutrient intake was altered by infusing into the abomasum a liquid supplement, containing reconstituted cow's milk, sodium caseinate, minerals and vitamins, for a pe...

Anaerobic digestion is a process in which microorganisms degrade organic material, such as dairy manure, in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas and digestate. Biogas is composed mostly of methane, which is the main constituent of natural gas (Table 1). Digestate is the degraded organic material that exits the digester after the digestion process. Digestate contains nutrients that can be use...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com one of the oldest forms of food preservation known to man [2]. Microorganisms require certain basic nutrients for growth and maintenance of metabolic functions. The amount and type of nutrients required depends on the microorganism. These nutrients include water, a source of energy, nitrogen, vitamins, and minerals [3,4]. Shelf life is defined as th...

Hypothalamic 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) senses intracellular metabolic stress, i.e., an increase in the cellular AMP:ATP ratio, and integrates diverse hormonal and nutritional signals to restore energy balance. Recent evidence suggests that different nutrients can modulate AMPK activity in the hypothalamus, thereby controlling weight gain through a leptin-indepen...
