Experimental Evidence for Long-Term Programming Effects of Early Diet

2000

Nutritional manipulation targeted at specific periods of embryo or placental development can result in substantial changes in fetal organ development despite no effects on fetal weight. In particular, kidney and fat mass are greater in nutrient restricted offspring in conjunction with higher mRNA abundance for leptin, insulin-like growth factors I/II and glucocorticoid receptors. As young adults, nutrient restricted offspring exhibit

Lactagogue effects of Torbangun, a Bataknese traditional cuisine

Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006

Coleus amboinicus Lour (CA) has been used as a breast milk stimulant (a lactagogue) by Bataknese people in Indonesia for hundreds of years. However, the traditional use of CA is not well documented, and scientific evidence is limited to establish CA as a lactagogue. This investigation was conducted to elucidate the effect of traditional use of CA during the first month of lactation on quantity and quality of the breast milk. The results collected from the study show that CA supplementation increased breast milk production without compromising the nutritional quality of the breast milk. Lactating women receiving CA supplementation had a 65% increase in milk volume during the last two weeks of supplementation (from Day 14 to Day 28). This increase was greater than that of lactating women receiving Molocco+B12 tablets (10%) or Fenugreek seeds (20%). The residual effects of CA supplementation were seen even after the supplementation had ended for one month. Results of the present study confirmed the belief and the practice amongst the Bataknese people that CA can be used as a lactagogue in humans, and the use of CA might be suitable for lactating women in general.

Calibration and reliability of a school food checklist: a new tool for assessing school food and beverage consumption

Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2006

There is a pressing need in Australia and other countries to develop systems for monitoring secular trends in childhood obesity and related behavioural and environmental determinants. Energy from foods and beverages consumed at school is an accessible indicator of children's eating patterns and we have developed a school food checklist (SFC) to measure this. The SFC records the number of serves and source (home, canteen, vending machine) of 20 food and beverage categories. This study aims to assess the accuracy and to calibrate the SFC by comparing it to a weighed record (WR) and to evaluate inter-recorder reliability. Participants were 910 primary school children aged 5 to 12 years from a rural township in Victoria, Australia. WR were collected from a non-random sub-sample of 106 and a second sub-sample (n=46) had intake measured twice using the SFC to assess inter-recorder reliability. Mean energy values were 2992 kJ +/- 924 and 3008 kJ +/- 952 for the SFC and WR respectively ...

Use of [14C]-sodium bicarbonate/urea to measure total energy expenditure in overweight men and women before and after low calorie diet induced weight loss

Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2006

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the [14C]-sodium bicarbonate/urea technique to measure the change in total energy expenditure after weight loss and a period of weight maintenance. Eleven healthy subjects (6 men and 5 women aged 50 +/- 3 yrs, BMI 34.1 +/-2.1 kg/ m2, body fat 38.7 +/-3%) underwent 8 weeks of energy restriction using a combination of "Modifast" formula and one small meal per day (approximately 3.3 MJ/day). For an additional 2 weeks, subjects resumed a solid food diet that contained enough energy to stabilize body weight at the newly reduced level. Body composition, total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE) and the thermic effect of a 2.7 MJ test meal (TEF) were measured at both weeks 0 and 10. At week 10 as compared to week 0, body weight decreased by 12.2+/-1.6 kg (12.5%)(P<0.001). Total fat and lean mass decreased by 8.4+/-1.0 kg (20.4%) and 3.8+/-0.7 kg (6.7%), respectively (P< 0.001). REE decreased by 500+/-12...
