To compare the roles of apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I, B, and E (or arginine-rich apoprotein, ARP) in the intracellular production of intestinal chylomicrons (and/or VLDL), these apoproteins were localized in rat intestinal mucosa by the light microscope method of indirect immunofluorescence. In addition, tissue levels of ApoA-I and ApoB were measured during fat absorption by radioimmunoassay. Antis...

This study examined the effect of African walnut protein isolate, wheat and yellow maize flours on general acceptability cookie production. In this study, blends were studied in a completely randomized design assessment proximate composition. The variables flour (30-50%), (20-30%) isolate (10-20%) to generate 20 composite blends. composition functional properties determined using standard metho...

Adults eating a Western diet digest and absorb ingested food containing approximately 100 g fat, 350 g carbohydrate, and 75 g protein daily. Normal fat absorption requires adequate gastric, pancreatic, liver-biliary, mucosal, and lymphatic function. Carbohydrate and protein absorption is much less dependent on liver-biliary and lymphatic function. The intestine has a large reserve capacity for ...

Glasgow, J. F. T., Hamilton, J. R., and Sass-Kortsak, A. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 601. Fat absorption in congenital obstructive liver disease. Fat absorption was impaired in 11 of 15 children with congenital obstructive liver disease. Lecithin administered by mouth to 7 patients failed to improve fat absorption. Proximal intestinal contents sampled during digestion of a sta...

The nutrient composition and flour functionality of horse gram seeds were evaluated of their flour characteristics. The objective of the present study was to evaluate horse gram seed with the aim of quantifying physiochemical and functional properties information that might serve as a guide to exploit its potential and benefits for human and animal nutrition. The proximate compositions (%) were...

For the high-value utilization of tuna liver, effects acid-aided (Acid-pH) and alkali-aided pH-shifting (Alkali-pH) on physicochemical functional properties protein powder prepared by freeze-drying were studied. As expected, with high purity could be obtained through Acid-pH or Alkali-pH followed freeze drying, while led to a higher yield, ratio, lower lipid ratio heavy metal content than Acid-...

We previously demonstrated increased villus height following genetic deletion, or knockout, of retinoblastoma protein (Rb) in the intestinal epithelium (Rb-IKO). Here we determined the functional consequences of augmented mucosal growth on intestinal fat absorption and following a 50% small bowel resection (SBR). Mice with constitutively disrupted Rb expression in the intestinal epithelium (Rb-...

The absorption of fat and the absorption and retention of nitrogen were studied in 20 children with kwashiorkor. 13 of the 20 had lactose malabsorption and severe diarrhoea on milk feeds. Fat absorption was not affected by lactose-induced diarrhoea, but nitrogen absorption was impaired. Despite this, nitrogen retention was unaffected and it is concluded that milk and milk products would continu...

Randomized clinical trials have found a significant relationship between calcium/dairy product intake and reduced body weight and/or fat in overweight and obese adults. The studies report that dairy foods exert a significantly greater effect on body weight, fat and inches around the waist compared to calcium supplements or a low-dairy diet. The body of research also includes mechanistic studies...
