The Protein Efficiency Ratios of Certain Individual and Supplemented Plant Foods
<p>Various individual and supplemented plant proteins were studied by the protein efficiency ratio (PER) method to determine their relative abilities to promote growth in young albino rats. Animals received a 10 percent level of protein in an otherwise adequate ration.</p> <p>A soy fiber product …

Plant foods, plasma enterolactone and breast cancer - with a focus on estrogen receptor status and genetic variation
… against breast cancer, for example lignans. Plant lignans are converted to enterolactone by the gut microflora and are similar in structure to estrogens. Enterolactone may interact with the estrogen receptors (ERs) and, therefore, inhibit the effect of estrogens. The aim of this doctoral …

Fathead Minnows, Aquatic Invertebrates, and Mallard Duckling Interactions in Man-Made Ponds
… because by this age the ducklings used plant foods. Chaoboridae, Amphipoda, Cladocera, Copepoda, and total macroinvertebrate catch were negetatively affected by minnow presence . Fewer Chironomidae, Baetidae, Ceratopogonidae, and Coenagrionidae were caught in stocked cells, but numbers …

The analysis of experimental diets for long chain fatty acids
… experimental diets were designed to include only foods from plant sources. This part of the metabolic study was planned to determine the amount and distribution of the fatty acids in those diets. Methods and procedures were developed for extracting the fatty acids from the lyophilized food …

Folate - Associations with breast cancer depending on intake, metabolism, genetic variation and estrogen receptor status.
… methyl donor for DNA synthesis and methylation. Plant foods contain many bioactive compounds including folate and fiber. Results from the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort indicate lower breast cancer risk at high fiber intake. Folate intake may partly explain this association. Aims of this …

The associations of stroke risk and risk factors with dietary intakes and biomarkers of magnesium and protein
… in men, total and animal protein in women and plant protein (diastolic BP only) for both sexes. Inconsistent relationships were identified between lipid levels and dietary magnesium and protein intakes with discrepancies between sexes. Men with the lowest 10% of magnesium intake were at highest …

Development of a high-throughput phenotyping method for measuring sorghum carotenoids
… vitamin A or as provitamin carotenoid (PVACs) in plant foods. Access to PVACs is limited in sub-Saharan Africa where many diets are less diverse and primarily consist of cereals, such as sorghum, with intrinsically low concentrations of PVACs. Therefore, biofortification breeding efforts aim to …
