Abstract Objectives The quality of dietary protein sources became a particularly sensitive issue in the current debates on a rebalancing between animal and vegetable food sources. The ability of a protein to meet the nutritional requirements of essential amino acid (EAA) is the basis for assessing the quality of protein. The objective of this study was to characterize the impact of lysine- and threonine-deficient gluten-based diets on the metabolism of growing rats and to identify molecular markers of these diets. Methods Growing rats were fed for 3 weeks with a threonine-supplemented and 70% lysine-deficient gluten diet; a lysine-supplemented and 47% threonine-deficient gluten diet; a gluten diet supplemented in lysine and threonine to meet all the AA requirements, and a control diet with milk protein to meet all the AA requirements. Body weight and food intake were measured daily. At the end of the experiment, tissues and biological fluids were removed. The body composition was analyzed, gene expression measurements involved in protein and lipid metabolism were performed and the urinary metabolome was analyzed by LC-MS. Statistical analysis was done by variance analysis and metabolome analysis by discriminant analysis of independent components. Results These EAA deficiency does not modify the food intake. Lysine deficiency induces a decrease in body weight gain, and lean body mass, associated with an increased in proteolysis and a decreased in proteosynthesis, a decreased in bone mineral density, and no effect on lipid metabolism. Threonine deficiency induces a decrease in body weight gain, and liver and skin weight, without changes in protein metabolism, bone mineral density, and lipid metabolism. After approval of the deficiency model, the metabolomic analysis performed on urine samples revealed the presence of specific discriminating molecules of the diets and types of proteins. Conclusions EAA deficiency has an impact on the growth, and bone and protein metabolism of growing rats. These deficiency states have resulted in different metabolome profiles that could lead to the identification of specific molecular markers of protein sources and related to EAA deficiencies.

AbstractIntroduction:The quality of dietary protein sources became a particularly sensitive issue in the current debates on a rebalancing between animal and vegetable food sources.The ability of a protein to meet the nutritional requirements of essential amino acid (EAA) is the basis for assessing the quality of protein.The objective of this study was to characterize the impact of lysine- and threonine-deficient gluten-based diets on the metabolism of growing rats and to identify molecular markers of these diets.Materials and Methods:Growing rats were fed for 3 weeks with a threonine-supplemented and 70% lysine-deficient gluten diet; a lysine-supplemented and 47% threonine-deficient gluten diet; a gluten diet supplemented in lysine and threonine to meet all the AA requirements, and a control diet with milk protein to meet all the AA requirements.Body weight and food intake were measured daily.

19657 Background: Hormonotherapy (H) is the most widely used treatment against breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study is a prospective evaluation with an enriched the SF-36 questionnaire, of the QOL of BC patients (pt) treated with H at the IOHM. Specific questions regarding menopausal symptoms and body weight were added. Methods: Between Aug 2005 and Nov 2006, all pt that were undergoing H, were requested to fill out a SF-36 self-evaluation form. The SF-36 is a multi-purpose, short-form health survey, with 36 questions about functional health and well-being. The answers were tabulated. The pre-treatment and post-treatment body weight of each pt was registered. Results: Three Hundred and Twenty-six pt were invited to participate, and all of them accepted, and signed a consent form. Characteristics of the population: Diagnosis: DCIS: 36 pt; LCIS: 5 pt; IDC 250 pt; ILC: 35 pt. All cases expressed hormonal receptors. The H was adjuvant in 254 pt (78%) mostly treated with T and palliative in 72 pt (22%) mostly treated with AI. Median age was 62 years, however 63 pt (19%) were pre-menopausal. The median time under treatment was 33 months (range 1–71 m). The pt reported: General evaluation of Quality of life: Very good or excellent: 154 pt (47%) , Good: 134 pt (41%), Poor: 34 pt (11%). Severe limitations for demanding physical activities: 43 pt (13 %). A reduction of time spent on the job: 66 pt (22%). Severe pain during the last four weeks prior to answering the questionnaire: 24 pt (8 %). Weight increase perception: 153 pt (47%). Actual increase of weight: 192 pt (60%) (Median: 4 kg). Menopausal symptoms: Daily Hot Flushes: 132 pt (40%). Vaginal discharge 110 pt (33%) Decrease of libido: 98 pt (30%), Vaginal dryness 76 pt (23%), Nightly sweats: 40 pt (12%). Sixty pt (18%) suffered from and received treatment for menopausal symptoms. Conclusions: 1) The SF-36 is a useful tool to measure the BC patients’ quality of life 2) Although in our cohort most of the patients (88,3%) rated their general QOL as “good to very good”, a third of the pt presented severe menopausal symptoms, and 18% received non hormonal medication for symptoms relief 3) Sixty percent of the pt had a median body weight gain of 4 Kg. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Male, growing rats were injected daily with anterior pituitary growth hormone (3 mg/100 g body weight) and fed ad libitum for 7 days at environmental temperatures of 22 °C and 2–3 °C. Body weight gain, nitrogen retention, and four liver enzyme activities were measured. As observed previously, cold exposure retarded body weight gain and decreased nitrogen retention despite an increased food intake. These effects of cold were not eliminated by administration of growth hormone. The increased activities of liver arginase, alanine-glutamic transminase, and phosphate-activated glutaminase consequent upon cold exposure were not significantly affected by growth hormone although, at 22 °C, growth hormone decreased the activities of liver arginase and alanine-glutamic transaminase. Cold exposure eliminated the lowering effect of growth hormone on liver glutamic acid dehydrogenase activity observed at 22 °C. It is concluded that, under these conditions, growth hormone does not overcome the protein catabolic effects of cold exposure but rather, cold exposure eliminates the protein anabolic effects of the hormone.

The paper gives review on more recent research into the influence of nutrition on production results in fattening lambs. The results regarding the influence of feeding systems and diet composition on body weight gain feed conversion and meat quality in fattening lambs are given. Obtained results show that with suitable feeding system the body weight gain and feed conversion can be increased by 19-21% and 10-17% respectively. Besides, in this way the quality of lamb meat can be improved as well. The research showed that in hilly-mountainous region of Serbia, with 90 day old lambs on proper nutrition system the lambs of body mass of 23,0-25,0 kg with excellent meat quality can be produced.

Based on the results of the analysis of feed materials on the content of micronutrient elements and conducting scientific experiments on broilers chicken, the most effective source of Manganese, Zinc, Iron and Copper in mixed feeds, which contributes to solving the problem of increasing the quality of feeding and intensifying the growth of poultry has been substantiated. The optimum source of essential elements (Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu) for broilers chicken through feeds, the level of their incorporation into mixed fodders have been experimentally determined, and their influence on productivity and feed costs per 1 kg of body weight gain have been investigated. The tasks set in the work have been solved experimentally using analytical (analysis of literature sources), zoo-technical (growth indices, feed intake) and statistical (processing of the results obtained) methods of research. The use of mixed feeds in feeding broilers chicken which contained glycinate of Manganese, Zinc, Iron and Copper making 75 % of the needs, contributes to increasing their body weight by 2.5 % and increasing the growth rate by 2.4 %. Feed costs per 1 kg of broilers chicken growth were 1.5 % lower than the young bird index of the control group.
