This supplement features the abstracts of research papers presented during the conference. General topics explored in these included papers are: (1) food supplements for athletes; (2) nutrition physiology and body composition; (3) overweight and obesity; (4) animal models of human nutrition; and...

The structure and function of cecal microbiota following the consumption of a zinc (Zn) biofortified wheat diet was evaluated in a well-studied animal model of human nutrition (Gallus gallus) during a six-week efficacy trial. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, a significant increase in β- but not...

Chronobiology plays a crucial role in modulating many physiologic systems in which there is nutritional synergism with meal timing. Given that intermittent fasting (IF) has grown as a flexible dietary method consisting of delayed or early eating windows, this scoping review addresses the effects of ...

Tackling the mechanisms underlying ageing is desirable to help to extend the duration and improve the quality of life. Life extension has been achieved in animal models by suppressing the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis and also via dietary restriction. Metformin has become ...

Small extracellular vesicles (sMEVs) from bovine milk are studied for delivering therapeutics. Here, we estimated sMEV bioavailability of an oral dose of sMEVs. Bovine sMEVs were labeled covalently with HiLyte™ 750 (MEV-750) and administered by oral gavage to C57BL/6J mice. Plasma, urine, feces,...

USE of L-carnitine (L-c.) bears potentials of decreasing hyperlipidemia following fat diet feeding. 25 Animal (rabbits) were divided randomly into five groups. Normal group were kept on a plain chow diet for 75 days. HC classes were on a diet (hypercholesterolemic diet) for seventy-five days....

Female athletes follow a strict diet and perform rigorous exercise to boost their performance, which induces health issues called the female athlete triad (FAT), defined as the combination of disordered eating, amenorrhoea and low bone mineral density. It is known to have a significant effect on...

New challenges in food production and processing are appearing due to increasing global population and the purpose of achieving a sustainable food system. Bioactive peptides obtained from food proteins can be employed to prevent or pre-treat several diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular...

Background: Muscle food provides a variety of nutrients to maintain the normal activities and metabolism of the human body. However, a series of studies have revealed a close association between the oxidized muscle food and human health. To thoroughly understand the impact of the oxidation of...

Branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA) are a group of lipids that are widely present in various organisms; they take part in numerous biochemical processes and affect multiple signaling pathways. However, BCFA are not well explored in terms of their effects on human health. Recently, they have been...
