Advances in nutritional research, volume 1

Abstract: Topics under current investigation in the field of nutritional science are the regulation of energy metabolism and digestion, glucose and lipid synthesis in the tissues, and selenium metabolism. The relationship between nutrition, intestional microorganisms, and cancer is examined. Nutritional effects on infection and immunity, osteoporosis, neural lipids, atherosclerosis, and colon cancer are discussed. The role of nutrients, especially the trace elements, in carcinogen biochemistry is explored.

  • "Abstract: Current nutrition research is reviewed for scientists, graduate students, and practitioners in the biological and health sciences. Recent developments in requirements for and bioavailability of minerals are discussed, including: the establishment of requirements for additional trace elements; the epidemiology of trace element deficiencies; and the stable isotope method of assessing mineral bioavailability. Topics relating to lipid research include investigations of ischemic heart disease in Greenland Eskimos and its correlation to marine oils (and polyunsaturated fatty acids) in the diet; the cardiopathic effects of long-chain monoenoic fatty acids in heart muscle; and dietary influences on prostaglandin synthesis. Modern techniques used in formulating and administering total parenteral nutrition are described. The role of taurine in nutrition and in the development of human infants, and the mycology, chemistry, and toxicology of trichothecenes are analyzed. (cj)."@en
  • "The third volume of Advances in Nutritional Research continues the precedent set in previous volumes of providing authoritative reviews on the current state of knowledge with respect to major topics of ongoing nutritional research. This series is designed to be of value to investigators engaged in fundamental research as well as to those involved in its application to problems in human and animal nutrition. This volume contains three chapters on recent developments in research on inorganic elements, including a review, by F. H. Nielsen, of the evidence for a requirement for additional trace elements; a conspectus, by C. E. Casey and K. M. Hambidge, on the occurrence of trace element deficiencies in man; and a description, by M. Janghorbani and V. R. Young, of new methods of assessing the bioavailability of minerals in the diet. There are also three chapters on current topics of lipid research. One (by F. D. Sauer) is devoted to the cardiopathic effects of certain dietary monoenoic fatty acids, another (by C. Galli) to the influence of diet on prostaglandin synthesis, and the third (by H. 0. Bang and J. Dyerberg) to an analysis of the role of the unusual polyunsaturated fatty acids found in marine oils in the prevention of ischemic heart disease."@en
  • "Volume 7 of Advances in Nutritional Research continues the theme of this series in providing authoritative accounts of the current state of knowledge regarding major topics of research in the nutritional sciences. The topics have been selected for their interest to researchers, students, and teachers in medicine, agriculture, and the various branches of the biological sciences which relate to nutritional health. The authenticity of the accounts is assured by the widely recognized contributions of the authors to research on their respective topics. vii Contents 1 Chapter 1. Food Allergy ........... . David J.

  • "Abstract: This fourth volume in a continuing series for clinical nutritionists and nutrition researchers focuses on the nutrition of cells grown in culture, and on the nutrition of various species that may offer insights into human nutritional disorders. Specific research topics included in 10 authoritative overviews are: comparative insect nutrition; nutrient requirements of cultured mammalian cells; fatty acid metabolism in the newborn ruminant; vitamin D analogs in human and cow's milk; and carnitive nutriture in rats and humans. More general topics include: vitamin-responsive genetic anomalies; vitamin D-binding proteins; dietary protein, acidosis, and calcium balance; the neurobiology of vitamin B6; and the nutritional importance, metabolism, and function of inositols in health and disease.

  • "Advances in Nutritional Research was conceived by the Public and Professional Information Committee of the American Institute of Nutrition as a service to the membership of the Institute and to others engaged in research and teaching in the nutritional sciences. This publication, which will consist of a series of annual volumes, is in tended to serve primarily as a source of authoritative information on the status of research on topics of active current investigation. In addition, it will contain reviews on subjects of research that have been characterized by progressive, if unspectacular, developments over a period of years. The coverage will extend to basic research in human, animal, and microbial nutrition, nutritional biochemis try, clinical nutrition, nutritional toxicology and pathology, and related specialties. The editors hope that this series will assist investigators to keep abreast of new developments in the broad field of nutritional research. It should be 'of particular value to graduate students and to investigators who wish to acquire a grasp of the current state of knowledge in fields other than their own. If the response of authors of the chapters in this first volume and the quality of their contributions are indicative, this hope will be realized. H. H. Draper Chairman, Board of Editors vii Contents Chapter 1 Role of Vitamin K in the Synthesis of Clotting Factors. . . 1 1. W. Suttie 1. Historical Background ..................................... ."
  • "Abstract: Volume 1 of a series for graduate students and researchers in nutrition science presents authoritative information on the research status of current areas of importance, ranging from basic research, microbial, animal, and human nutrition to nutritional biochemistry, clinical nutrition, and toxicology and pathology. Aspects of various nutrients are specifically addressed in 11 papers covering: vitamin K and clotting; dietary chromium metabolism; metabolic copper disorders; protein intake regulation by amino acids; nutrition and aging; copper and zinc in cholesterol metabolism; amino acid nutriture in the chicken; free-radical reactions in vivo; nutritional consequences of infection; and human folate metabolism and deficiency. Each chapter contains an introduction to or history of the topic. A summary or conclusions are presented after a review of the literature. (wz)."@en
