The essential infringements of fish phosphorus balance at elevated concentrations of Cu2+ in water was established – a sharp increase of intensity of phosphorus excretion, which ultimately leads to a significant decrease in its content in the body of fish. The peculiarities of the phosphorus balance of fish of various trophic groups: zooplankton phage, benthophages and ichthyophages have been established. It was found out how trophic conditions effect on the components of the phosphorus balance. It was found out how trophic conditions affect the components of the phosphorus balance. Bentofages and zooplankton- phages at the conditions of higher copper content have more pronounced disorders the phosphorus balance then ichthyophage-predators at the same time, even with an increase in the intensity of phosphorus excretion due to the increased copper content in the aquatic environment, was noted by minimal changes in its content in the body, due to the chemical composition of the food of these trophic groups. It was shown that when the content of Cu2+ in water is 10 µg / l of feed use with a high phosphorus content (3.0 %), it can compensate for its loss due to increased excretion, normalize its natural content in the body and increase the growth rate of fish and their feed efficiency. It is proposed to use the intensity of phosphorus excretion for the diagnosis of toxic pollution of the aquatic environment by heavy metals. At the same time, fish of various trophic groups should be used, with the exception of predators

ABSTRACT Young ovariectomized female albino rats were treated with gonadal hormones (oestrogen, androgen and progesterone) for half a year, during which time they also received a diet with a high Ca/P-ratio and sugar. The effect of this treatment on the body weight and the weight, length, and Ca-, P-, and N-content of the femurs was investigated. The weight of the femurs given in percentage of the mean initial body weight was significantly lowest in the oestrogen group and highest in the androgen group. The significantly lowest Ca content was observed in the androgen group and also in the progesterone group. In the oestrogen group the value was no higher than that in the control series. The phosphorus content of the femurs was higher for the animals which had undergone hormonal treatment than for the control animals. The N-content in the androgen and progesterone groups, but not in the oestrogen group, was significantly lower as compared with the controls. It seems likely that a diet with a high Ca/P-ratio, which contains more carbohydrates than an ordinary diet, would not be unfavourable for the calcification of developing bone with regard to the Ca-, P- and N-contents of the bone. Of the gonadal hormones androgen particularly, and to some extent progesterone seem to have a reducing effect on the Ca- and N-contents of the bone under these conditions.

Green Okra is one vegetable that contains minerals is quite high. One such mineral is phosphorus, which is an essential mineral needed for growth and repair of cells in the body. This study aims to determine the levels of phosphorus in raw green okra, steamed, and stew as commonly consumed by people. The research method using wet digestion analysis and measurement with visible spectrophotometry with the addition of phosphorus reagent color developer which is a mixture ammonium molibdat 4%, ascorbic acid 0.1 N, antimonil potassium tartrate, and 5N sulfuric acid produces a blue color and is measured at a wavelength of 722, 50 nm with the working time in the 30th minute to the 38th minute. Levels of phosphorus obtained from raw green okra 62.115 mg / 100 g, steamer 60.130 mg / 100 g,

Defatted egusi flour offers a food option high in protein and essential micronutrients. An instant processing method was adopted in a ready-to-eat instant soup using egusi grit, hydrocolloid, and defatted flour. A D-optimal quadratic mixture model was used to study the effect of the independent variables (grit, flour, and hydrocolloid) qualities. The quadratic model was adequate to navigate the design space for taste and appearance. The numerical optimization for appearance and taste of instant soup (IES) was used to obtain the optimal soup mix of 10 g of hydrocolloid, 57.2 of defatted flour and 17 g of grits. Sixteen trace and five major mineral elements were found in the egusi soup, with a high concentration of phosphorus (1220.4, 1326.2 and 1277.9 mg/100 g), potassium (1220.4, 1326.2 and 1277.9 mg/100 g), magnesium (822.2, 905.3 and 863.70 mg/100 g), calcium (172.3, 190.9 and 183.4 mg/100 g) and iron (53.7, 57.5 and 29.5 mg/100 g), and for instant egusi soups from boiled egusi grit (IESBG), instant egusi grit from spherified grit (IESSG) and instant egusi grit from extruded grit (IESEG), respectively. The amino acid profile of instant egusi soup offers all essential amino acids necessary to nourish the body. Phosphorus content was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) high across the three soups: 1742, 1836 and 1838 mg/100 g for IESBG, IESSG, and IESEG, respectively; IESSG and IESEG were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher in minerals when compared with IESBG. Instant egusi soup differed significantly (p ≤ 0.05) in lightness (L*), while the redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) did not vary significantly.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.
