Influence of dietary niacin on finishing pig performance and meat quality

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2000
One hundred forty-four finishing pigs were used to determine the influence of added dietary niacin on their growth performance and meat quality. Gilts grew slower, ate less, and were more efficient than barrows for the entire growth performance period.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Effects of Ascorbic Acid Deficiencies on Larvae of \u3ci\u3eLymantria Dispar\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) [PDF]

, 2017
We assessed the effects of ascorbic acid and total vitamin deficiencies on growth, food processing efficiencies and survival of larval gypsy moths. Artificial diet lacking ascorbic acid did not alter performance of fourth instars, whereas diet lacking a ...

Investigation of Micro‐Nutrient Elemental Distribution in a Black Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Grain Using Synchrotron Assisted Microprobe X‐Ray Fluorescence Analysis at Indus‐2

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial localization of various essential dietary elements present in a black wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain has been investigated using synchrotron assisted micro X‐ray fluorescence measurements at BL‐16 beamline of Indus‐2 synchrotron facility. The results showed that most of the important dietary minerals like calcium (Ca), potassium (K)

Biocultural Approaches in the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition: A Reflection on 50 Years

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On the occasion of SAFN's 50th anniversary I reflect on the development of biocultural and human evolutionary approaches to human diet and nutrition. I maintain that SAFN and its predecessors the Committee (1974–1987) and then Council on Nutritional Anthropology (1987–2004) have modeled, fostered, and advanced biocultural work in anthropology ...

Effect of Two Therapeutic Renal Diets on Hormonal and Regulatory Pathways Affecting Calcium Homeostasis in Cats With Early‐Stage Chronic Kidney Disease

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for hypercalcemia in cats. Phosphate‐restricted diets have also been implicated in causing hypercalcemia, in part because phosphate restriction increases the Ca:P ratio. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different therapeutic renal foods on ionized (iCa ...

NAD replenishment restores mitochondrial function and thermogenesis in the brown adipose tissue of mice with obesity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A high‐fat diet (HFD) induces brown adipose tissue (BAT) whitening, mitochondrial dysfunction (damaged cristae, fragmentation), reduced NAD+ levels and impaired thermogenesis, leading to lower energy expenditure and metabolic inflexibility.
