This study assessed the effects of zinc supplementation in prevention diarrhea and pneumonia with use a pooled analysis randomized controlled trials children developing countries.
Abstract Background The prevalence of obesity among Mexican women is high and it could be related to micronutrient status. We evaluated in a cross-sectional study the associations zinc vitamins A, C E concentrations with BMI, central adiposity, body fat leptin concentration. Methods Women aged 37 ± 7.5 years (n = 580) from 6 rural communities Mexico were evaluated. Anthropometric measurements included weight, height, waist hip circumference. A fasting blood sample was taken for analysis...
The availabilities of nutrients from a representative rural Mexican diet (RMD) and urban (UMD) were evaluated by balance experiments in sixteen women. Compared with UMD, the plant-based RMD led to higher number defaecations faecal excretion dry matter, fat, nitrogen energy. Apparent digestibility N was only 67% compared 90% UMD. 0.4 2.6 g/d UMD respectively (P < 0.001). energy 89 95% Calculation metabolizable (ME) using Atwater's (Atwater & Bryant, 1900) general factors overestimates...
OBJECTIVE. Gastrointestinal parasites continue to be an important cause of morbidity and stunting among children in developing countries. We evaluated the effect vitamin A zinc supplementation on infections by Giardia lamblia, Ascaris lumbricoides, Entamoeba histolytica. METHODS. randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted 707 who were 6 15 months age from periurban areas Mexico City, Mexico, between January 2000 May 2002. Children, assigned receive either every 2...
ABSTRACT The identification of immune response mechanisms that contribute to the control diarrheal disease in developing countries remains an important priority. We addressed role fecal chemokines and cytokines resolution Escherichia coli Giardia lamblia infections. Stools collected from 127 Mexican children 5 15 months age enrolled a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, vitamin A supplementation trial were screened for enteropathogenic (EPEC), enterotoxigenic E. (ETEC), . Fecal...
Obesity is a major public health problem in many poor countries where micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent. A partial meal replacement may be an effective strategy to decrease obesity and increase intake such populations. The objective was evaluate the efficacy of with without inulin on weight reduction, blood lipids micronutrients obese Mexican women.In randomized controlled clinical trial 144 women (18-50 y) BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², were allocated into one following treatments during 3 months:...
Anemia continues to be a major public health problem among children in many regions of the world, and it is still not clear which strategy treat most effective. To evaluate efficacy children's acceptance several recognized strategies anemia. Non-breastfed (n = 577), 6 43 mo age, were screened for trial; 267 anemic (hemoglobin < 11.7 g/dL), 266 those randomized into 1 5 treatments received daily either: an iron supplement (IS), iron+folic acid (IFS), multiple micronutrient (MMS),...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate synergic effect lycopene (LYC) treatment with a dietary control in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) model induced high-fat diet (HFD). Sprague-Dawley rats were fed during 4 weeks normal (ND·4w) or an HFD (HFD·4w) produce NAFLD model. Then, from ND·4w group continued same (ND·8w), and ND (HFD·4w+ND·4w) plus LYC (HFD·4w+ND+LYC·4w). (20 mg/kg) administered daily by gavage. ND+LYC diets partially reverted following alterations due HFD: weight,...
Obesity and depression are among the leading causes of disability in Mexico, but their association has not been explored yet. The aim current study was to investigate between obesity Mexican population. We used data from health nutrition survey (ENSANUT 2012), which is representative determined using body mass index (BMI) abdominal by measuring waist circumference. Depressive symptoms were reported Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Short-Form (CES-D-SF, scale 0–21)....
The production of human recombinant proteins to be used for therapeutic or nutritional purposes must focus on obtaining a molecule that is as close possible the native protein. This biotechnological tool has been documented in various studies published recent decades, with lactoferrin being one those generated most interest, promising option technology. However, stability including thermodynamic parameters have not reported (Lf). objective this work was obtain protein using yeast...
OBJECTIVE. Lead exposure in children has been associated with both global and specific cognitive deficits. Although chelation therapy is advised for blood lead concentrations of &gt;44 μg/dL, treatment options lower values are limited. Because absorption related to children's nutritional status, micronutrient supplements may be 1 strategy combating low-level, chronic exposure. This study was designed test the efficacy iron zinc supplementation lowering improving performance...
The effect of vitamin A supplementation on viral gastrointestinal infections among young children living in developing countries remains unclear.The norovirus (NoV) infection 127 Mexican 5-15 months age was studied a randomized, placebo-controlled trial during June-August 1998. Stool samples collected every 2 weeks and after diarrheal episodes were screened for NoV characterized at the genogroup level (GI GII).Of stool collected, 29.9% positive NoV, GI GII found 55.4% 46.4% samples,...
The overall effect of vitamin A supplementation on diarrheal disease in community trials may result from its specific pathogens.We conducted a placebo-controlled, double-blind trial the prophylactic gastrointestinal pathogen infections and clinical symptoms among 188 children Mexico City, Mexico, January 1998 to May 1999. Children 6-15 months age were randomly assigned receive either supplement (for <12 age, 20,000 international units [IU] retinol; for > or =12 45,000 IU retinol) every 2...
