Calorie restriction (CR), or caloric restriction, or energy restriction, is a dietary regimen that reduces calorie intake without incurring malnutrition or a reduction in essential nutrients. "Low" can be defined relative to the subject's previous intake before intentionally restricting calories, or relative to an average person of similar body type. Calorie restriction without malnutrition has...

Munro (1951) showed that nitrogen retention in rats is reduced when calorie intake is restricted. Although an adaptive process to continued moderate calorie restriction was demonstrated with dogs (Rosenthal & Allison, 1 9 5 1 ) and man (Drury, Vaughan & Hannon, 1959), a linear relationship between N balance and the amount of carbohydrate given along with the protein of the diet was observed in ...

Background and aims: It is well known that dyslipidemia is related to cardiovascular disease, dietary aspect and obesity play an important role in CVD risk factor. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between calorie intake, anthropometrical parameters and serum lipids in apparently healthy women. Methods: The subject were 90 healthy wom...

Increasingly organizations compete based on time. As a result, cycle-time reduction is a key agenda for organizations interested in achieving increased customer service and reduced cost. With improved cycle time, organizations can often eliminate or reduce inventory while expanding customer service offerings. The purpose of this tutorial is to present the fundamental concepts of cycle time redu...

Research shows that continuing competitive pressure applied during development and production leads to better industry performance, often at reduced cost. However, the entrenched practice of one-time competition for an entire program life-cycle often endows the winner with a very strong monopolistic power that lasts for decades. This paper describes continuous competition as leverage to acquire...

The liver is one of the most susceptible organs to aging, and hepatic inflammation and fibrosis increase with age. Chronic inflammation has been proposed as the major molecular mechanism underlying aging and age-related diseases, whereas calorie restriction has been shown to be the most effective in extending mammalian lifespan and to have anti-aging effects through its anti-inflammatory action...

I . Studies were made of iron absorption in eighty-five infants who were suffering from protein-calorie deficiency (kwashiorkor and marasmus) and in eight infants who were suffering from Fe-deficiency anaemia : twenty-one healthy infants were used as control subjects. Factors affecting absorption concentration of serum total protein and its fractions; serum Fe; transferrin (as indicated by tota...

I. Adult rats were trained to consume the entire day’s ration in z h. They showed marked difference in food intake when a diet lacking in protein was given. T w o broad stages were observed, the first phase did not show any drop in calorie intake whereas the second showed distinct severe calorie deficiency. 2. Definite changes were noted in the metabolic profiles of the protein-deficient group ...

This paper proposes a finite mixture model (FMM) to model the behavioral transition of calorie consumption with an assumption that nutrition consumption is a mixture of two different behavioral stages: a poor stage and an affluent stage. Based on 387 calorie-income elasticities collected from 90 primary studies, our results identify that the threshold income for calorie demand transition is 459...

Introduction University College London Hospital (UCLH) was one of the largest contributors to the CALORIES trial; a pragmatic, multi-centre, randomised control trial examining the effectiveness of early nutritional support in critically ill patients through a comparison of parenteral and enteral nutrition. The trial found no significant difference in 30-day mortality associated with the route o...
