SEVERAL studies have compared the effects of sucrose and other carbohydrates on caries activity in rats receiving modifications of cariogenic diet 2000 of KEY= and JORDAN (1964) and it has been concluded that complete or intermittent replacement of dietary sucrose with other carbohydrates results in greater inhibition of caries on the molar smooth surfaces of rats than in the deep molar fissure...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The stoma of intermediate position enterostomy (IPE) often leads to high output, which is related to electrolyte abnormalities, and prolongs patient recovery post-operatively. The continuous nasogastric tube feeding method has the advantage of reducing the risk of feeding intolerance, and improves nutrient absorption. In the current study, we review our experience with...

ANNA W. I. VAN DAM-BAKKER AND OTHERS '958 3. The growth rate of young rats, given the high-protein and the low-protein moieties of the diet on alternate days was less than that of pair-fed, litter-mate control animals consuming both moieties together. 4. Intermittent protein feeding likewise impaired lactational capacity of the mothers and retarded recovery of the haemoglobin content of the blo...

Atrophy of skeletal muscle mass is an almost universal problem in survivors of critical illness and is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity. Contrary to common practice, the provision of protein/amino acids as a continuous infusion significantly limits protein synthesis whereas intermittent feeding maximally stimulates skeletal muscle synthesis. Furthermore, whey-based pro...

One hundred successive infants weighing less than 1500 g at birth were allocated alternately to intermittent nasogastric or continuous nasoduodenal feeding regimens. Eighty were appropriate for gestational age, and of these 25 fed successfully by nasogastric tube and 16 tolerated nasoduodenal feeding until 1600 g. No significant differences in either calorie intake or growth rates were identifi...

Reduced cell proliferation may mediate anti-carcinogenic effects of caloric restriction (CR). Using heavy water (H2O) labeling, the cell proliferation response to CR was investigated in detail, including the time course, effect of refeeding, and role of intermittent feeding with 5% CR. In the time course study, 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were placed on a 33% CR regimen (food given 3 times/...

Reduced cell proliferation may mediate anticarcinogenic effects of caloric restriction (CR). Using heavy water (2H2O) labeling, we investigated the cell proliferation response to CR in detail, including time course, effect of refeeding, and role of intermittent feeding with 5% CR. In the time-course study, 8-wk-old female C57BL/6J mice were placed on a 33% CR regimen (fed 3 times/wk) for varyin...
