Effect of a Low-Carbohydrate, High-Protein Diet on Bone Mineral Density, Biomarkers of Bone Turnover, and Calcium Metabolism in Healthy Pre-Menopausal Females
Low-carbohydrate, high-protein (LCHP) diets have been shown to induce weight loss and beneficial changes in blood lipids that suggest cardiovascular disease risk reduction; however, LCHP diets have not been adequately investigated for health effects on the skeleton. A randomized trial to determine …

Effects of a high protein diet on weight loss, markers of health, and functional capacity in senior-aged females participating in the Curves® fitness program.
… were randomly assigned to one of three groups: High Protein diet + Exercise (HP); High Carbohydrate diet + Exercise (NCHO); or Exercise only (E). Participants were instructed to follow their respective nutrition plans and complete a supervised 30 minute Curves circuit resistance-training program …

The effect of non-weight-bearing exercise and protein intake during pregnancy on maternal and fetal zinc content in the Sprague-Dawley rat
To study the effect of exercise and protein intake during pregnancy on maternal and fetal zinc status in the rat, one hundred and seventy-nine pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups; sedentary-standard protein diet, sedentary-high protein diet, exercising-standard protein diet …

An Assessment of Suitable Feed Quantity and Quality for Riffleshell Mussels (Epioblasma spp.) Held in Captivity
… the greatest amount of food when fed the highest ration. Suggested feed rations for captive adult Epioblasma species are 1.73 mg/l when held at moderate temperatures (i.e., 15-19C), and 1.28 mg/l when held at cool temperatures (i.e., near 11C). Seasonal utilization of protein by oyster …

Dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y affect feed intake in brioler chicks
… the effects of macronutrient composition of diets on NPY function have not been elucidated in non-mammalian species. This research investigates how food intake is affected by dietary macronutrient composition in broiler type chickens that are fed three varying macronutrient diets: high …

Possible Role of the Hypothalamic Melanocortin System to Induce Satiety by High Protein/low Carbohydrate Diets
… are overweight or obese continues to increase. High protein diets have been successful as weight reduction strategies, in part, because subjects report feeling more satiated and subsequently eat less. These diets are also reported to improve other clinical markers associated with obesity and …

The utilization of essential minerals by preadolescent girls consuming three levels of protein
The effect of three levels of protein on the utilization of magnesium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, sodium and potassium was studied in preadolescent girls. Minerals were determined in excreta and food following a wet ash by absorption spectrophotometric procedures. The minerals …

Effects of amylase supplementation upon the growth, endogenous amylase activity, and intestinal morphology of male turkey poults
… an additional protease supplement were added to diets of low (24%) and high (28%) protein content. Enzyme supplements Significantly improved performance of birds on the low, but not on the high protein diet. Even with the improvement from enzyme addition, the performance of poults fed the low …

Protein feeding and exercise recovery
The importance of protein feeding for maximising the anabolic effect of resistance exercise is well established. Ingestion of amino acids or intact protein sources with and without carbohydrate during exercise recovery further stimulates muscle protein synthesis. Less clear is the impact of an …

The Effect of Insulin on the Nitrogen Metabolism of Teleost Fishes
… Leucine- 14C- incorporation used as an index of protein metabolism was significantly increased in muscle after insulin and tolbutamide treatment. The effect of insulin, tolbutamide and alloxan on the total RNA and the total DNA content of goldfish muscle has also been studied. Insulin and …

The effect of protein intake on the excretion of vitamin B₆, 4-pyridoxic acid, and xanthurenic acid in preadolescent boys
The effect of protein intake on vitamin B<sub>6</sub> status was investigated in preadolescent boys. Twelve subjects rotated through a diet sequence containing daily intakes of 1.15 mg vitamin B<sub>6</sub> and 29, 54, or 84 rim protein. Total vitamin B<sub>6</sub> and 4-pyridoxic acid were …

Pre-Clinical Development Of Aav Mediated Gene Therapy For Familial Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase Deficiency
… disease in LCAT KO/SREBP1a transgenic mice using high-protein diet. When we treated these mice with 1e10 GC of AAV8-TBG-hLCAT, we found that it neither prevented nor reversed the progression of renal disease. Next, we will combine our gain-of-function LCAT, V114M, with the leading codon optimized …

Different dietary approaches for the treatment of obesity and the phenotypic responses to these diets.
… is developed and for this to be successful other diet and lifestyle approaches need to be considered. A systematic review comparing low carbohydrate vs. low fat diets for the treatment of obesity was carried out. It found that low carbohydrate/high protein diets are as effective as, if not better, …

Nutrient regulation by an omnivore and the effects on performance and distribution
… of Conocephalus to perform on a wide range of diets and to regulate their nutritional intake, I used artificial diets that differed in relative amounts of protein and carbohydrate (Chapter 1). I found that Conocephalus survival decreased on a high protein diet due in part to a decrease in lipid …

Shotgun metagenomic approach to the influence of industrialization and social behavior on fecal microbiomes
… derived from their hosts, ranging from diet, to industrialization, to social behavior. When considering these factors, it is to our advantage that these systems that alter microbiomes are uniform across species, which allows us to take advantage of suitable animal models, like dogs and …

Investigating the regulation of processing bodies in Drosophila melanogaster oocytes
Cells are highly organised and rely on both membrane-bound and non-membrane-bound organelles to coordinate biological processes. Biomolecular condensates represent a broad class of non-membrane-bound organelles that assemble through phase separation. They exhibit diverse morphologies, compositions, …
