Abstract Zn status may affect fatty acid (FA) metabolism because it acts as a cofactor in FA desaturase and elongase enzymes. supplementation affects the desaturases of Zn-deficient rats, but whether this occurs humans is unclear. We evaluated associations between baseline plasma (PZn) concentration total phospholipid composition, well effect daily consumption Zn-fortified water on Beninese children. A 20-week, double-blind randomised controlled trial was conducted 186 school age The...
This prospective, randomized trial investigates the benefits of iodine supplementation (200 mcg per day) in pregnant women from Thailand and India on neurological development their children. Iodine readily crosses placenta is required for synthesis thyroid hormones by fetal gland. In addition, actively concentrated mammary gland serves as sole source breastfed infant. The authors chose a dose 200 day, between propose American Thyroid Association European (150 mcg) proposed WHO (250 lactating women.
Agricultural food production is both affected by and contributing to climate change. At the global scale, agri-food systems are responsible for one-third of total greenhouse gas emissions. With progressing change, risks crop failure increase. Thus, an urgent need reduce emissions from while increasing their resilience Enormous untapped potentials achieve these dual goals lie in transforming towards more diverse, plant-based, regional systems. In this paper, we present innovative approach...
Background/Objectives: Vitamin D-crucial for bone health, immune function, and hormone regulation-is deficient worldwide, affecting around half the population, particularly women. The study aims to determine prevalence risk factors of vitamin D deficiency hypovitaminosis in non-pregnant women Lebanon. Methods: A national cross-sectional survey sampled households across Lebanon, covering 2803 aged 15 49. Demographic information dietary habits were collected, anthropometric measurements serum...
Abstract Milk and dairy products are important iodine sources contribute about 30–40 % of total in the Swiss diet. Information variation milk concentration (MIC) Switzerland is limited. We examined MIC its potential determinants from organic conventional farms. collected bulk samples at 3-month intervals over 1 year thirty-two farms throughout Aosta valley, North-West Italy. sampled all feed components including tap water, information on farm characteristics, feeding teat disinfection...
Zinc biofortification of rice could sustainably improve zinc status in countries where deficiency is common and a staple, but its efficacy has not been tested. Fatty acid desaturases (FADS) are putative new biomarkers. Our objective was to test the zinc-biofortified (BFR) preschool-aged children with deficiency. hypothesis that consumption BFR would increase plasma concentration (PZC). We conducted 9-mo, double-masked intervention trial 12–36-mo-old rural Bangladeshi children, most whom were...
Iodine is vital for human health, and its deficiency linked to severe disorders. Although salt iodization practiced in Senegal, evidence shows declining household iodized coverage. This survey assessed iodine status nonpregnant females examined dietary sources contributing their intake. cross-sectional was conducted 2023 nationally representative. Using stratified sampling, data were collected from 866 households 657 aged 15-49 y. Median urinary concentration (UIC), sodium concentration,...
The contribution of milk and dairy products to daily iodine intake is high but variable in many industrialised countries. Factors that affect concentrations are only poorly understood. Our aim was to: (1) assess the effect feed concentration on by supplementing five groups cows each with one dosages from 0-2 mg iodine/kg DM; (2) quantify losses during manufacturing cheese yogurt varying cellar-ripening; (3) systematically measure partitioning heat treatment skimming milk. Milk reached a...
Abstract Children in developing countries often face multiple micronutrient deficiencies. Introduction of zinc‐fortified water can increase zinc intake, but additional recommendations are required to address overall diet nutrient adequacy. We developed and tested food‐based (FBRs) that included for children aged between 4 6 years from rural Kenya achieve the best possible Dietary intakes 60 4–6 years, Kisumu West district, Kenya, were assessed using a quantitative multipass 24‐hr recall....
Zn deficiency and diarrhoea are prevalent may coexist in children living low-resource settings. Recently, a novel approach for delivering via microbiologically treated, Zn-fortified water was shown to be effective improving status West African schoolchildren. We assessed the effectiveness of Zn-fortified, purified delivered as household intervention on intake, morbidity aged 2-6 years from rural western Kenya.Randomised controlled trial. Intervention included households assigned treatment...
