Bouillon is a promising large-scale food fortification vehicle, but there uncertainty regarding the types and concentrations of micronutrients that are feasible to add without compromising consumer acceptability.
Eggs are a rich source of choline, an essential nutrient important for child growth and development. In randomized trial 1 egg/d in young children Ecuador, egg intervention led to significant improvements growth, which were partially mediated by increased plasma choline concentration. A similar Malawi (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03385252) found little improvement or We aimed evaluate the effect 6 mo on concentrations Malawian enrolled trial. Infants aged 6–9 rural randomly assigned receive (n =...
There is an urgent need for tools to better understand and measure the nutrition challenges identified in Sustainable Development Goals. Proposed updates existing Net State of Nutrition Index (NeSNI) do at highlighting multi-dimensional nature malnutrition (undernutrition, overweight, micronutrient deficiencies) that can occur simultaneously within a country allows nations be ranked based on complex burden as well monitoring change over time multiple issues simultaneously. NeSNI was...
Saccharin and trans-resveratrol were incorporated into small quantity lipid-based nutritional supplements (SQ-LNS) to be evaluated as the markers of consumption for intervention studies. Forty-seven healthy women consumed a single supplement with either 8.6 mg saccharin or 5 trans-resveratrol, urine was collected 4 h. A rapid 11 min method employing multiple reaction monitoring ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled triple quadrupole mass spectrometer developed measure...
Dietary supplements, like small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS), are used in intervention programs to prevent undernutrition among women and young children low-income countries. An objective marker is needed track consumption of evaluate the effectiveness these programs.
Objective To measure biomarkers of lipid metabolism in response to a marginal zinc depletion, repletion, and supplementation healthy male subjects. Methods Eighteen subjects between ages 18–45 consumed controlled diet (80% carbohydrate, 10% fat, protein) with two levels dietary zinc. Phase I: Low zinc: 6 mg/day 1.5 mg phytate (2 weeks); II: Zinc repletion: 10 no (4 weeks). Thereafter, 25 supplement was administered an ad libitum for 3 weeks (Phase III). Targeted analysis lipids lipoprotein...
Dietary phytate inhibits zinc absorption from composite meals in adults. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy adding exogenous phytase a small-quantity lipid based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) on among young children. In double-blind randomized controlled trial, intra-individual differences fractional and total (FAZ TAZ, respectively) SQ-LNS with without were measured 30 asymptomatic 18–23 month old children Kiang West district Gambia. Using cross-over design, received...
An objective adherence marker is needed to track consumption of nutrient supplements in nutrition intervention trials and programs targeted young children women reproductive age low-income countries. Here, resveratrol saccharin are evaluated as markers for tracking short-term intermittent or daily a small-quantity lipid-based supplement (SQ-LNS) US ten-day controlled feeding study. Sixty-three were randomly assigned receive 10 d either: SQ-LNS containing trans-resveratrol (10 mg) sodium...
