Globally, the production, distribution, sale and consumption of plant-based foods (PBFs) are on the increase due to heightened consumer awareness, a growing demand for clean label products, widespread efforts to promote and embrace sustainable practices,
Kaged Plantein. Pea protein is used as the main source of protein in this powder.Studiesshow that muscle growth outcomes whenutilizing pea proteinare very comparable to those of whey protein. The addition of coconut MCT oil adds easily digestible fat which, along with protein, will keep you s...
Konzo, a distinct upper motor neuron disease associated with a cyanogenic diet and chronic malnutrition, predominately affects children and women of childbearing age in sub-Saharan Africa. While the exact biological mechanisms that cause this disease hav
Dietary proteins have been used for years to treat obesity. Body weight loss is beneficial when it concerns fat mass, but loss of fat free mass – esp
Daily eating/fasting cycles synchronise circadian peripheral clocks, involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. However, the associations of daily meal and fasting timing with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence remain unclear. We used d

This is supported by the observation that GDF15 concentrations after protein ingestion do not change to the same extent as after dextrose intake. Furthermore, the different amounts of calories ingested (180 versus 450 kcal) might also have affected postprandial GDF15 concentrations. However, as ...
To prevent the onset of PNALD or PNAC, it is advisable to monitor bilirubin and to administer, when possible, simultaneous enteral calories, even in small volumes (so-called “minimal enteral intake”). Enteral feeding, at least intermittently, is protective for liver function and may restore ...
Minor alleles of the human dopamine receptor polymorphisms, DRD2/TaqI A and DRD4/48 bp, are related to decreased functioning and/or numbers of their respective receptors and have been shown to be correlated with body mass, height and food craving. In add
