Experiments were done with three size groups of Tilapia mossambica (Peters) to study the rate of energy intake, absorption and conversion and absorption efficiency and conversion efficiency. Experimental animals were fed with beef ad libitum for a period of 40 days. It was found that the rates of intake, absorption and conversion of energy were inversely related to size, whereas efficiencies of absorption and conversion were directly related to size. The reason for the marked difference in the efficiency of energy conversion between small and large size groups is discussed. 相似文献

Marine larval nutrition studies have classically focused on essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements and very little is known regarding the effect of total lipid level or lipid source on food ingestion and absorption, which are important factors determining growth. In the present work two experiments analysed food intake and nutrient absorption in seabream larvae in response to two dietary lipid levels (17-18% and 25-28%). The first experiment tested Artemia enriched on two levels of a fish oil emulsion (higher and lower—HF and LF, respectively), while in the second experiment larvae were co-fed Artemia enriched on one of two levels of a soybean oil emulsion and a microdiet (MD) containing one of two levels of soybean oil as the main lipid source (higher and lower—HS and LS, respectively). Food intake and nutrient absorption were determined by performing radioactive trials using Artemia radiolabelled with [1-14C] oleic acid in the first experiment (at 26 and 33 days after hatching—DAH) and MD labelled with [1-14C] oleic acid or glycerol tri[1-14C] oleate (31 and 32 DAH) in the second experiment. The dietary treatments did not induce significant differences in larval dry weight in the first experiment, while food intake was significantly higher and nutrient absorption significantly lower in larvae fed the HF diet, compared to the LF treatment. In the second experiment, a significantly higher dry weight was achieved by larvae fed on the LS diet, which was also significantly more ingested and absorbed. The fish oil experiment supports the hypothesis that a higher food intake may cause a decrease in nutrient absorption efficiency, possibly through a faster gut transit, but in the soybean oil experiment total absorption appears to have simply reflected food intake. The results show that dietary lipid level significantly affects larval food intake and absorption efficiency but the effect was dependent on lipid source, suggesting that dietary fatty acid (FA) composition might be a more determinant factor than total lipid level. Food intake was apparently not regulated to meet a requirement for EFA. Lipid source or FA composition may regulate food intake through pre- or post-absorptive mechanisms, such as through effects on palatability, digestibility and stimulation of neuroendocrine pathways. 相似文献

High arsenic intake raises kidney copper and lowers plasma copper concentrations in rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effect of high arsenic intake on copper metabolism was investigated. Male rats aged 6 wk had free access to purified diets
containing either 0 or 100 mg As/kg diet and demineralized water for a period of 2 wk. Arsenic was added to the diet in the
form of NaAsO2. The high-arsenic diet decreased feed and water intake and body weight gain, but significantly increased liver weight. Kidney
weight was not affected. Arsenic feeding drastically elevated kidney copper concentration, but significantly reduced copper
concentration in plasma. Both true absorption and biliary excretion of copper were decreased significantly in rats fed the
high-arsenic diet. True copper absorption was lowered essentially through the lower copper intake in the rats fed arsenic.
It is speculated that arsenic feeding primarily leads to copper accumulation in the kidney, followed by a decrease in feed
intake and thus in true, absolute copper absorption, a decrease in plasma copper concentration, and a decrease in biliary
copper excretion. 相似文献

Cholesterol metabolism homeostasis is the result of a balance between synthesis, degradation and intestinal absorption. It
is well established that intestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency can be modified by the intake of phytosterol-enriched
food and, therefore, have a serum cholesterol-lowering effect. Recent epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that
presence of phytosterols at normal diet levels could also be effective on lowering total and LDL serum cholesterol since they
affect whole-body cholesterol metabolism even at those moderate doses. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of
the levels of the naturally-occurring phytosterols in the diet on cholesterol metabolism parameters. In order to do that a
group of 99 healthy volunteers was studied for their dietary habits and surrogate markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption.
The mean daily dietary intake of phytosterols, measured by a food semiquantitative frequency questionnaire, was found to be
494 mg being β-sitosterol the major contributor to it. Subjects were classified into tertiles according to their total phytosterol
intake and comparisons were done between subgroups. No statistical differences were observed for surrogate markers of intestinal
cholesterol absorption, but a significant increase in the cholesterol synthesis surrogate marker lathosterol-to-cholesterol
ratio associated to highest dietary phytosterol intake was observed. Regardless of this, only a non significant trend toward
a less atherogenic lipid profile was observed in the upper tertile. In conclusion, the intake of moderate amounts of phytosterols
naturally present in habitual diet may affect cholesterol metabolism and specially the rate of cholesterol synthesis as estimated
by the surrogate marker lathosterol-to-cholesterol ratio in serum. 相似文献

Although chronic physical activity by humans can raise energy requirements and energy intake severalfold above sedentary levels, whether these increases alter digestive strategy remains unknown. To investigate this possibility, food passage rate (mouth-to-large intestinal lactulose transit) and absorption (xylose) were compared in a cross section of young men chosen to represent a wide range of daily physical activity and food intake. In 20 men (energy intake 1,272-5,342 kcal/day), resting mouth-to-cecum transit was faster in high caloric consumers (r = -0.69, P less than 0.01). In contrast, xylose absorption (n = 26; measured either as urinary xylose excretion or integrated breath H2 production from the sugar) was unrelated to food intake. Dietary fiber intake was uncorrelated with energy intake. This apparent human digestive strategy of rapid transit across the gut absorptive surface, without a sacrifice in absorption, parallels the adaptations made by several animal species similarly faced with increased energy demand at constant fiber intake. We therefore conclude that the hyperphagia of chronic exercise in humans may be linked with significant gastrointestinal adaptations. 相似文献

The lipid-lowering effect of ezetimibe in pure vegetarians 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Results of previous studies have shown that ezetimibe (10 mg/day) reduces LDL cholesterol in patients with mild hypercholesterolemia on a normal-cholesterol diet (dietary intake of 200-500 mg/day) by 16-22%. However, the LDL cholesterol-lowering effect of ezetimibe in subjects with an extremely low dietary cholesterol intake (vegetarians) has not been studied. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-phase crossover study in 18 healthy pure vegetarians to assess the effect of ezetimibe (10 mg/day) on plasma lipids, cholesterol absorption, and its synthesis. Treatment periods lasted 2 weeks each, with an intervening 2 week washout period. Fractional cholesterol absorption was determined using the continuous dual stable isotope feeding method. Mean dietary cholesterol intake in the pure vegetarians was extremely low and averaged 29.4 +/- 16.8 and 31.4 +/- 14.4 mg/day during the placebo and ezetimibe administration phases, respectively. Fractional cholesterol absorption during the placebo phase was 48.2 +/- 8.2% and was decreased by 58% during ezetimibe treatment to 20.2 +/- 6.2% (P < 0.001). This change in intestinal cholesterol absorption was followed by a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol of 17.3%. In individuals with extremely low dietary cholesterol intake, treatment with ezetimibe (10 mg/day) leads to a significant reduction of cholesterol absorption and a clinically relevant decrease of plasma LDL cholesterol, comparable to that of subjects with a normal dietary cholesterol intake. Thus, the lipid-lowering effect of ezetimibe is mediated mainly through a reduction of the absorption of endogenous (biliary) cholesterol. 相似文献

The contribution of dietary cholesterol to hypercholesterolemia in diabetic rats fed chow ad libitum was evaluated. Diabetes was induced with streptozotocin, and the intake, absorption, and subsequent tissue distribution of dietary cholesterol were measured. Absorption was measured as the difference between [3H]cholesterol intake and fecal 3H-labeled neutral sterol excretion, using both [14C]sitosterol (added to diet) and [14C]cholesterol (added to feces) as recovery markers. [3H]Cholesterol absorption was underestimated by 1-3% using [14C]sitosterol as a recovery standard, due to the 7-8% absorption of sitosterol. After 3 weeks of diabetes, rats were hyperphagic, thereby increasing dietary cholesterol intake 2-fold. [3H]Cholesterol absorption was significantly increased from 69% in controls to 78% in diabetics, whereas [14C]sitosterol absorption was unaffected. With increased dietary cholesterol intake and decreased whole body cholesterol synthesis (Diabetes. 1983. 32: 811-819), influx from diet equaled for exceeded influx from synthesis. The amounts of 3H-labeled neutral sterol recovered from the small intestine, periphery, and plasma were increased 3- to 4-fold in the diabetic rats. Furthermore, the degree of hypercholesterolemia in diabetic rats was directly related to the fraction of plasma cholesterol derived from the diet. We conclude that the 2.3-fold increase in absorbed dietary cholesterol resulting from hyperphagia and, to a lesser extent, from increased fractional absorption, contributes to the hypercholesterolemia of diabetic rats fed chow ad libitum. 相似文献

CCK acts peripherally as a satiating peptide released during meals in response to lipid feeding and centrally functions in the modulation of feeding, exploratory, and memory activities. The present study determined metabolic parameters, food intake, anxiety-like behaviors, and cognitive function in mice lacking the CCK gene. We studied intestinal fat absorption, body composition, and food intake of CCK knockout (CCK-KO) mice by using the noninvasive measurement of intestinal fat absorption along with quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) imaging and the DietMax system, respectively. Additionally, exploratory and memory capacities were assessed by monitoring running wheel activity and conducting elevated plus-maze and Morris water-maze tests with these mice. Compared with wild-type (WT) littermate controls, CCK-KO mice had normal food intake, fat absorption, body weight, and body mass. CCK-KO mice ate more food than control animals during the light period and less food during the dark period. Energy expenditure was unchanged between the genotypes; however, CCK-KO mice displayed greater fatty acid oxidation. CCK-KO mice were as active as WT animals in the running wheel test. CCK-KO mice spent more time in the closed arms of an elevated plus-maze, indicative of increased anxiety. Additionally, CCK-KO mice exhibited attenuated performance in a passive avoidance task and impaired spatial memory in the Morris water maze test. We conclude that CCK is involved in metabolic rate and is important for memory and exploration. CCK is intimately involved in multiple processes related to cognitive function and food intake regulation. 相似文献

The present work analyzes the role of food and water intake, nitrogen balance, and in vivo D-glucose intestinal absorption in body weight gain during the second half of pregnancy in malnourished mother rats. Our results indicate that nitrogen balance and intestinal absorption of D-glucose were not changed as a result of food restriction, but important negative correlations between water intake and micturition and weight gain and micturition were found in experimental mothers. The retention of water seems to be one of the most important factor influencing body weight gain in malnourished mother rats in the second half of pregnancy. 相似文献

Adolescence constitutes a period of nutritional vulnerability due to increased dietary requirements for growth and development and special dietary habits. A pilot trial was performed to evaluate the dietary calcium utilization among a sample of Spanish boys on their usual diets, in which the calcium intake and consumption of dairy products were as well examined. Nutrient and food intake was recorded using a 24-h dietary recall and a 2-d food consumption record for 21 subjects aged 11-14 years. Dietary calcium utilization was assessed by means of calcium intake in food and calcium output in faeces and urine as measured by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Overall intake of dairy products was 399.3 +/- 22.1 g/d, and the single most consumed item was milk (72% of the total). An inverse relationship was found between dairy product consumption at breakfast (55% of the total) and BMI (p = 0.016, r = -0.5168). Dairy products contributed the majority of dietary calcium (66.9%). Mean calcium intake was 881.7 +/- 39.9 mg/d, 88% of the recommended value for Spanish adolescents. Net calcium absorption (271.7 +/- 51.7 mg/d) and retention (170.6 +/- 50.9 mg/d) seemed not to be sufficient to meet growth demands during puberty. The results shown that adolescents of the study absorbed 31% of dietary calcium and retained nearly 20% of the total intake, but dietary calcium intake and consumption of dairy products failed to meet recommended values. Optimizing calcium intake is of crucial importance among adolescents, to maximize calcium retention and to help prevent osteoporosis in later life. 相似文献

A database built from 95 experiments with 303 treatments was used to quantify the ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) of fatty acids (FA), efficiency of microbial protein synthesis (EMPS), duodenal flow and intestinal absorption of total FA and of FA with 12 to 18 C units, in response to variations in dietary FA content, source or technological treatment of fat supplement. Flows of FA were expressed relative to dry matter intake (DMI) to compile data from bovine and ovine species. BH tended to increase curvilinearly with FA intake, whereas dietary FA did not affect EMPS. A linear relationship between FA intake and duodenal flow of total FA was obtained, with a coefficient of 0.75 ± 0.06 g duodenal FA/kg DMI for each g FA intake/kg DMI. Between experiments, positive balances of total FA (intake - duodenum) were related to low EMPS. Relationships between duodenal flows of FA with 12 to 18 C units and their respective intakes were linear, with a coefficient that increased with the number of C units. Duodenal flow of bacterial FA was linearly related to FA intake (coefficient 0.33 ± 0.13), whereas contribution of bacterial lipid to duodenal flow decreased as FA intake increased. For each FA with 12 to 16 C units, prediction of FA absorption from its respective duodenal flow was linear. For total FA and FA with 18 C units, apparent absorption levelled off at high duodenal flows. All these relationships were discussed according to current knowledge on microbial metabolism in the rumen and on the intestinal digestibility of FA in the intestine. 相似文献

A study has been made of the mechanism of the mutual antagonism between copper and zinc in rats. Dietary zinc concentrations of up to 450 mg/kg had no effect on intestinal 64Cu absorption but 900 mg/kg caused a 40% reduction. This was associated with an increase in the mucosal uptake of 64Cu in the small intestine. This occurred mainly in the form of metallothionein and it appeared that copper displaced zinc from the protein after its synthesis had been induced by zinc. Ths intestinal absorption of 65Zn was decreased by 20% when the dietary copper intake was increased from 3 to 24 mg/kg. Further increases in copper intake to 300 mg/kg did not cause any additional decrease in 65Zn absorption or any change in the association of intestinal 65Zn with metallothionein. Concentrations of this protein in the intestinal mucosa were not influenced by dietary copper intake. 相似文献

BackgroundDietary phytosterols, plant sterols structurally similar to cholesterol, reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption and have many other potentially beneficial biological effects in humans. Due to limited information on phytosterol levels in foods, however, it is difficult to quantify habitual dietary phytosterol intake (DPI). Therefore, we sought to identify a plasma biomarker of DPI.ConclusionThe ratio of plasma campesterol to the coordinately regulated endogenous cholesterol metabolite 5-α-cholestanol is a biomarker of dietary phytosterol intake. Conversely, plasma phytosterol levels alone are not ideal biomarkers of DPI because they are confounded by large inter-individual variation in absorption and turnover of non-cholesterol sterols. Further work is needed to assess the relation between non-cholesterol sterol metabolism and associated cholesterol transport in the genesis of coronary heart disease. 相似文献

A high sodium intake increases the capacity of the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) to absorb HCO(3)(-). Here, we examined the role of the apical NHE3 and basolateral NHE1 Na(+)/H(+) exchangers in this adaptation. MTALs from rats drinking H(2)O or 0.28 M NaCl for 5-7 days were perfused in vitro. High sodium intake increased HCO(3)(-) absorption rate by 60%. The increased HCO(3)(-) absorptive capacity was mediated by an increase in apical NHE3 activity. Inhibiting basolateral NHE1 with bath amiloride eliminated 60% of the adaptive increase in HCO(3)(-) absorption. Thus the majority of the increase in NHE3 activity was dependent on NHE1. A high sodium intake increased basolateral Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity by 89% in association with an increase in NHE1 expression. High sodium intake increased apical Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity by 30% under conditions in which basolateral Na(+)/H(+) exchange was inhibited but did not change NHE3 abundance. These results suggest that high sodium intake increases HCO(3)(-) absorptive capacity in the MTAL through 1) an adaptive increase in basolateral NHE1 activity that results secondarily in an increase in apical NHE3 activity; and 2) an adaptive increase in NHE3 activity, independent of NHE1 activity. These studies support a role for NHE1 in the long-term regulation of renal tubule function and suggest that the regulatory interaction whereby NHE1 enhances the activity of NHE3 in the MTAL plays a role in the chronic regulation of HCO(3)(-) absorption. The adaptive increases in Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity and HCO(3)(-) absorption in the MTAL may play a role in enabling the kidneys to regulate acid-base balance during changes in sodium and volume balance. 相似文献

Currently there are no satisfactory methods for estimating dietary iron absorption (bioavailability) at a population level, but this is essential for deriving dietary reference values using the factorial approach. The aim of this work was to develop a novel approach for estimating dietary iron absorption using a population sample from a sub-section of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS). Data were analyzed in 873 subjects from the 2000–2001 adult cohort of the NDNS, for whom both dietary intake data and hematological measures (hemoglobin and serum ferritin (SF) concentrations) were available. There were 495 men aged 19–64 y (mean age 42.7±12.1 y) and 378 pre-menopausal women (mean age 35.7±8.2 y). Individual dietary iron requirements were estimated using the Institute of Medicine calculations. A full probability approach was then applied to estimate the prevalence of dietary intakes that were insufficient to meet the needs of the men and women separately, based on their estimated daily iron intake and a series of absorption values ranging from 1–40%. The prevalence of SF concentrations below selected cut-off values (indicating that absorption was not high enough to maintain iron stores) was derived from individual SF concentrations. An estimate of dietary iron absorption required to maintain specified SF values was then calculated by matching the observed prevalence of insufficiency with the prevalence predicted for the series of absorption estimates. Mean daily dietary iron intakes were 13.5 mg for men and 9.8 mg for women. Mean calculated dietary absorption was 8% in men (50th percentile for SF 85 µg/L) and 17% in women (50th percentile for SF 38 µg/L). At a ferritin level of 45 µg/L estimated absorption was similar in men (14%) and women (13%). This new method can be used to calculate dietary iron absorption at a population level using data describing total iron intake and SF concentration. 相似文献

The essential trace element molybdenum (Mo) is bound to and required for the function of molybdoenzymes, e.g. sulfite and xanthine oxidase. Dietary recommendations for early infancy are based on limited knowledge about its metabolism. 100Mo was used as an extrinsic tag to study the absorption and kinetics of excretion in infancy. 10 infants with a gestational age of 35 (30-39) weeks, a birth weight of 2.0 (0.9-2.3) kg and a post-natal age of 20 (10-54) days were studied. They received 25 microg 100Mo/kg with a feed of human milk or formula. Fractional urinary and fecal collections were conducted preceding the 100Mo intake and for 48-72 hours afterwards. The materials were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The median absorption of 100Mo intake was 97.5 (96.3 to 99.1) %. The retention of nutritive Mo intake and 100Mo in the study period was 11.2 (3.8-15.7) microg Mo/kg, equivalent to 35.7 (12.7-55.6) %. The Mo concentration increased to a peak value in urine within 8 (6-13) hours and in feces within 24 (7-48.5) hours. In addition, increases of copper in feces and urine were observed in 8 of 9 infants studied. Mo given orally is well resorbed in premature infants, and predominantly excreted in the urine. Dietary recommendations should prevent excessive intakes in infancy. 相似文献

The energy intake and weight gain of low birthweight infants (under 1500 g) fed expressed breast milk were measured. Between the second and fourth weeks of life the mean energy intake was 577 kJ (138 kcals)/kg/day and the mean weekly increase in weight 119 g/week. Feeding energy-rich hind milk to two babies increased their energy intake but had little effect on their rate of weight gain. There appeared to be no correlation between energy intake and weight gain, probably owing to variation in the absorption of nutrients from expressed breast milk. This study forms a basis for a comparison of weight gain in babies fed alternative regimens of artificial milks. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the bioavailability of selenium in shrimps, a possible good source of selenium, by measurements of the absorption and retention of selenium and the effects on plasma selenium concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity. Twelve healthy young subjects (9F and 3M) received 100 g of shrimps each day for six weeks in addition to their habitual diet. In the third week of the study a balance period was inserted in which the subjects received all food from the department and collected faeces and urine over 5 days. Blood samples were collected at commencement of the study, after 2, 4, and 6 weeks. The selenium intake increased from 39.4 ± 15.3 μg/d to 127 ± 5.5 μg/d with the addition of shrimps. The apparent absorption of selenium from shrimps was 83 ± 4%. Faecal and urinary selenium excretion was 32.5 ± 17.0 μg/d and 21.2 ± 9.0 μg/d, respectively and the total retention of selenium was 3.1 ± 1.1 mg. Plasma selenium concentrations were 95.2 ± 9.7 μg/L and 101.5 ± 9.7 μg/L before and after six weeks of shrimp intake, respectively (p<0.05). Plasma and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activities were not influenced by shrimp intake. Thus, despite the high absorption and retention, plasma selenium concentrations were only moderately affected by an increase in selenium intake of about 100 μg/d in the chemical forms found in shrimp. Whether the accumulation of selenium from shrimps in tissues may represent a potential hazard is to be further investigated. 相似文献
