The paper describes the use of an extrinsic tag of inorganic radioiron to determine the total absorption of nonheme iron from a complete meal. The method was developed by measuring the iron absorbed from vegetable foods containing biosynthetically incorporated (55)Fe (intrinsic tag) and from (59)Fe added as a small dose of inorganic iron to the same meal (extrinsic tag). In studies with maize, ...

Milk and legumes are good source of protein foods used to sustain muscle mass, but their effects on postprandial glucose homeostasis energy metabolism may be different. This is relevant, for example, in the dietetic response obesity or diabetes, where intake high-quality often increased significantly. The objective this study was characterize acute effect whey soy (15% vs. 30%) homeostasis, met...

The effects of inclusion in the diet of different sources of soya bean meal (SBM) on growth performance, total tract apparent digestibility (TTAD) and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of major dietary components and mucosal ileum morphology were studied in Iberian pigs weaned at 30 days of age. From 30 to 51 days of age (phase I), there was a control diet based on regular soya bean meal (R-SB...

BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between soy consumption, COPD risk and the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, a case-control study was conducted in Japan. METHODS A total of 278 eligible patients (244 men and 34 women), aged 50-75 years with COPD diagnosed within the past four years, were referred by respiratory physicians, while 340 controls (272 men and 68 women) were recruited ...
