Nutritional Biology - Science topic

Thank you, Henry Wolfe for the excellent references. So many ways to improve performance and recovery inexpensively. Too many products developed for the bottom line, not necessarily the the elite athlete or the regular exercise Joe.

Hi,

glycemic index of food is measure of glycose in blood after eating food. There is no posibility to measure in vitro. Metabolism of glucose is different in every person, and the easiest way to determine disorder.

I think the GMO's are fine as long as there is no tangible evidence showing their bad effects. The bad thing that came with it was the idea of developing"terminator seeds or sterile seeds", seeds that give only one generation of yield and that cannot be planted again. Certain companies wanted to patent such seeds and this wanted all farmers to buy seeds every year, but cannot save any seeds. This was as no body could not be sure of what will happen to the land races. There started condemnation of GMOs. I feel it was abused and some group(s) might wanted to benefit a lot. 

There is now so many crops that are GMOs. For instance over 90% of Soybeans (Glycine max) varieties in the US are GMOs. There is no reported problem associated to their consumption. People in Africa and Asia need more foods to survive. We need to produce more foods with all the potentials we have. Technically GM is one option we have to improve crop yields and increase target nutrients like proteins, minerals and vitamins. We need to use the same to increase the levels of functional nutrients like Plant polyphenols and other phytochemicals to meet the health demand of the population in developed world too.

If the problem is on solubility, try to use hydrocolloids. However, you do need optimization. Take care.

Thankyou so much for this help. I shall work my way through the articles.

You may know or have read them already, but Stéphane Caut's recent-ish papers on fractionation or discrimination factors and diet quality might be of interest (2009 Journal of Applied Ecology; 2008 Functional Ecology; 2010 Journal of Applied Ecology; etc.)

Dr Blum, Dr Springer, Dr Clemens..Thank you so much for your invaluable responses.

These days, the mice are not showing as much piloerection as they were showing previously. I think the mice have now been adapted to high fat diet.

Dr Clemens, Please see the following answers to your queries.

It was appeared after about one week of putting them on high-fat diet.

The mice were 8-9 weeks old at that time.

They are kept in groups.

They have nesting material.

Housing is changed almost weekly.

See this paper:

There is a significant correlation between stool PGE2 excretion and stool water consistent with a causative relationship. However, the concentration of stool prostaglandin is lower than the concentration found to alter intestinal electrolyte transport in vitro. In summary, the laxative effect of Mg(OH)2 is associated with increased output of stool PGE2. The contribution of the stool PGE2 to the laxative effect of Mg(OH)2 is unknown.

hi,

1. Application of Organic manures is most important way to enhance micro nutrient content in any crop.

2. Application of ZnSo4 and FeSo4

3. through biofortification (adding ZnSo4 and FeSo4 while composting)

4. Through addition of biofertilizers like Azospirillum and VAM helps in uptake of nutirents particularly Zn and application of PSB not only helpful in uptake of Phosphorus and also helpful in uptake of Fe through siderophors.

Thank you
