Although hepcidin synthesis is stimulated by inflammation and inhibited by Fe deficiency, the strength of their opposing effects on serum hepcidin (SHep) in humans remains unclear. It was recently shown that an inflammatory stimulus in anaemic women did not increase SHep or decrease Fe absorption. The enhancing effect of ascorbic acid on Fe absorption may not be effective during inflammation because

Muscle mass may play an important role in the metabolic profile of individuals with or without excess weight. Metabolic phenotypes classify individuals as healthy or unhealthy based on certain metabolic conditions. We investigated the association between skeletal mass indices (SMI) and the metabolically unhealthy phenotype in normal-weight and overweight/obese adults. A total of 660 adults aged 20

Weight gain and body composition during pregnancy: a randomised pilot trial with probiotics and/or fish oil Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-11-04 Outi Pellonperä; Tero Vahlberg; Kati Mokkala; Noora Houttu; Ella Koivuniemi; Kristiina Tertti; Tapani Rönnemaa; Kirsi Laitinen
We evaluated the effects of fish oil and/or probiotic supplementation in a randomised placebo-controlled intervention pilot trial on gestational weight gain (GWG) and body composition. Additionally, the influence of gestational diabetes (GDM) on GWG and body composition was assessed. We randomised 439 overweight women into intervention groups: fish oil + placebo, probiotics + placebo, fish oil + probiotics

Parental practices, body dissatisfaction and weight control practices in female adolescents from public schools in southern Brazil Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-11-03 R. S. Dell’Osbel; T. Donatti; R. L. Henn; C. Cremonese; E. Capp; M. L. O. Gregoletto
The objective was to verify the association between body dissatisfaction (BD) – constituted by the desire to lose weight – with family and personal aspects related to the shape of the body and weight control practices in female adolescents. A cross-sectional, observational epidemiological study with adolescents aged 12–19 years, enrolled in classes of the 8th and 9th years of public schools belonging

Pre-weaning adaptation responses in piglets fed milk replacer with gradually increasing amounts of wheat Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-27 Charlotte Amdi; Marie Louise M. Pedersen; Joanna Klaaborg; Laura J. Myhill; Maiken N. Engelsmann; Andrew R. Williams; Thomas Thymann
Hyperprolific sows rear more piglets than they have teats, and to accommodate this, milk replacers are often offered as a supplement. Milk replacers are based on bovine milk, yet components of vegetable origin are often added. This may reduce growth, but could also accelerate maturational changes. Therefore, we investigated the effect of feeding piglets a milk replacer with gradually increasing levels

Effects of dietary curcumin on growth, antioxidant capacity, fatty acid composition and expression of lipid metabolism-related genes of large yellow croaker fed a high-fat diet Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-20 Renlei Ji; Xiaojun Xiang; Xueshan Li; Kangsen Mai; Qinghui Ai
A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary curcumin (CC) on growth antioxidant responses, fatty acid composition, and expression of lipid metabolism-related genes of large yellow croaker fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Four diets (lipid level at 18 %) were formulated with different levels of curcumin (0, 0·02, 0·04 and 0·06 %). The best growth performance was found in the

Relative validity and reliability of a novel diet quality assessment tool for athletes: the Athlete Diet Index Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-20 Louise Capling; Janelle A. Gifford; Kathryn L. Beck; Victoria M. Flood; Fiona Halar; Gary J. Slater; Helen T. O’Connor
Diet quality indices are a practical, cost-effective method to evaluate dietary patterns, yet few have investigated diet quality in athletes. This study describes the relative validity and reliability of the recently developed Athlete Diet Index (ADI). Participants completed the electronic ADI on two occasions, 2 weeks apart, followed by a 4-d estimated food record (4-dFR). Relative validity was evaluated

Effects of guanidinoacetic acid and coated folic acid supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestion and hepatic gene expression in Angus bulls Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-11-04 Y. J. Liu; J. Z. Chen; D. H. Wang; M. J. Wu; C. Zheng; Z. Z. Wu; C. Wang; Q. Liu; J. Zhang; G. Guo; W. J. Huo
To evaluate the impacts of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) and coated folic acid (CFA) on growth performance, nutrient digestion and hepatic gene expression, fifty-two Angus bulls were assigned to four groups in a 2 × 2 factor experimental design. The CFA of 0 or 6 mg/kg dietary DM folic acid was supplemented in diets with GAA of 0 (GAA−) or 0·6 g/kg DM (GAA+), respectively. Average daily gain (ADG), feed

Effect of supplementing palmitic acid and altering the dietary ratio of n-6:n-3 fatty acids in low-fibre diets on production responses of dairy cows Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-21 E. Ghasemi; D. Golabadi; A. Piadeh
Supplementing palmitic acid (C16 : 0) in combination with modifying the dietary n-6:n-3 fatty acid (FA) ratio may benefit energy metabolism and milk responses of dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows (70 (sd 11) days in milk) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square and allocated to four low-fibre diets (18·5 % forage neutral-detergent fibre) supplemented with no FA (CON), or 2·4 % C16 : 0-enriched

Estimated dietary polyphenol intake and major food sources of the Brazilian population Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-27 Renata A. Carnauba; Neuza M. A. Hassimotto; Franco M. Lajolo
Epidemiological studies have suggested an inverse association between polyphenol intake and the risk of chronic diseases. However, the lack of comprehensive data on population-level intakes, especially in Latin American countries, has limited research on this topic. We aimed to estimate total and individual polyphenol intakes and determine the major dietary contributors in a representative sample of

The effect of cranberry consumption on lipid metabolism and inflammation in human apo A-I transgenic mice fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet Briti. J. Nutr. (IF 3.334) Pub Date : 2020-10-16 Christian Caceres; Mi-Bo Kim; Minkyung Bae; Tho X. Pham; Yoojin Lee; Siqi Hu; Edward N. O’Neill; Bohkyung Kim; Young-Ki Park; Ji-Young Lee
Lipid metabolism and inflammation contribute to CVD development. This study investigated whether the consumption of cranberries (CR; Vaccinium macrocarpon) can alter HDL metabolism and prevent inflammation in mice expressing human apo A-I transgene (hApoAITg), which have similar HDL profiles to those of humans. Male hApoAITg mice were fed a modified American Institute of Nutrition-93M high-fat/high-cholesterol

The present study aimed to evaluate the inflammatory response, oxidative status and fatty acid deposition in reproductive tissues of cats supplemented with the dried microalgae Schizochytrium spp. (Thraustochytriaceae) as a DHA source. Thirty-seven cats (males, n 21; females, n 16; 11·5 (sd 0·5) months of age) were divided by sex into five groups. Treatment diets contained algae biomass at 4·0, 8·0
