Radioactive lead studies in the human
… major intake of lead in the human is from food and beverages, any variation between individuals of the quantity of lead absorbed from the gut, and of the distribution and excretion of this lead, may account for the differences in individual susceptibility. The food and beverages themselves may …

The effect of mTOR inhibitor rapamycin on a dietary Drosophila melanogaster model of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis
… associated with aging in both metabolic syndrome and nephrolithiasis. The mechanistic (mammalian) target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity is characteristic of metabolic syndrome. When nutrients are abundant, mTOR is active. Conversely, fasting inhibits mTOR. Metabolic syndrome is correlated with an …

The effect of stage of maturity on the biological availability of magnesium from wheat and orchardgrass fed to sheep
Wheat, a tetany prone forage, and orchardgrass, a non-tetany prone forage, were cut at three stages of maturity to determine the magnesium availability in these forages for lambs. The forages were dried in forced air ovens and ground through a 2.5 cm screen. The nitrogen contents of the forages …

Modification of mineralized collagen scaffolds to overcome challenges of craniomaxillofacial bone repair
… cleft palate birth defects, cancer resection, and high energy impact trauma such as those from battlefield injuries. Common strategies to repair these defects involve autografts, or bone from the patient’s own body, but this bone is in limited supply and can cause donor site morbidity. …

Optimisation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) for orthopaedic application via the chemical precipitation technique
… found in the inorganic component of human bone and enamel. The constituent elements of HAp are primarily calcium and phosphorous, with a stoichiometric calcium to phosphorous ratio of 1.667 capable of promoting intimate bone growth onto femoral implants. HAp is rendered a bioactive material …

Nutritional Strategies to Improve Pig Growth and Performance
… of muscle growth including genetics, nutrition, and environment. The neonatal period is characterized as a time of rapid growth. Growth rate is reduced during neonatal nutrient restriction possibly due to altered satellite cell activity which can permanently alter growth potential. Therefore, …
