Nutrient composition

Abstract

Background

 Animal and plant protein intakes have indicated opposite associations with cardiovascular mortality risk. Whether dietary proteins are associated with risk of heart failure (HF) is unclear. Thus, we examined the associations of proteins from different food sources with risk of HF.

Abstract

Background

Choline is an essential nutrient that is pivotal to proper brain development. Research in animal models suggests that perinatal choline deficiency influences neuron development in the hippocampus and cortex, yet these observations require invasive techniques.

Objective

This study aimed to characterize the effects of perinatal choline deficiency on grey and white matter development using non-invasive neuroimaging techniques in the young pig.

Abstract

Abstract

Objective 

We performed a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression to determine if dietary protein supplementation augments resistance exercise training (RET)-induced gains in muscle mass and strength.

Data sources 

A systematic search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL and SportDiscus.

Eligibility criteria 

Only randomised controlled trials with RET ≥6 weeks in duration and dietary protein supplementation.

Abstract

Study Question

Is iodine deficiency associated with decreased fecundability?

Summary Answer

Moderate to severe iodine deficiency is associated with a 46% decrease in fecundability.

What is Kanown Already

Iodine deficiency is common in women of childbearing age but its effect on fecundability has not been investigated.
