Transgenic mice were made by introducing extra copies of the mouse insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) gene driven by the bovine keratin 10 promoter (BKVI). The adult plasma IGF-II levels were elevated at least three times in one line. In this line, there was a lower lipid content of both brown and white adipose depots at 2-4 months of age, and 40% less fat in the carcass at 7-9 months. The low lipid phenotype was not detected in the carcass at 2 weeks after birth. The lean characteristic was attributed ...

The effects of insulin deficiency (streptozotocin-induced) or insulin plus prolactin deficiency on the disposal of orally administered [1-14C]triolein between oxidation to 14CO2, uptake by mammary gland and transfer to suckling pups were studied. Insulin deficiency decreased mammary-gland total weight (by 40%), but caused no change in total tissue DNA. A greater proportion of the [1-14C]triolein was oxidized to 14CO2 (120% increase) in the insulin-deficient rats, and there was a tendency for total transfer ...

The WHO has developed new growth curves based on breast-fed infants. Recommendations for energy intake have been adopted based on measurements of total energy expenditure. Data on human milk (HM) intake are needed to estimate the energy intake from this food source. However, objective HM data from around the world have not been available, because these measurements are difficult to obtain. Stable isotope methods have been developed to provide objective measurements over a 14-d period. A pooled analysis ...

The effects of exogenous insulin or vanadate (an insulin mimetic) on the disposal of dietary [14C]lipid between oxidation to 14CO2, deposition in adipose tissue or uptake by mammary gland and transfer to suckling pups were studied in virgin and lactating rats. After an oral load of [1-14C]triolein, virgin rats treated with a supraphysiological dose of insulin over 24 h showed a decrease (58%) in 14CO2 production and increased accumulation of [14C]lipid in carcass and white adipose tissue.

Definitions of functional food vary but are essentially based on foods' ability to enhance the quality of life, or physical and mental performance, of regular consumers. The worldwide use of coffee for social engagement, leisure, enhancement of work performance and well-being is widely recognised. Depending on the quantities consumed, it can affect the intake of some minerals (K, Mg, Mn, Cr), niacin and antioxidant substances. Epidemiological and experimental studies have shown positive effects of ...

Diet has a strong effect, while suckling stimulus is believed not to influence breast milk fatty acids. The effect of dietary pattern and suckling on the fatty acid composition of Brazilian women's breast milk was studied. A cross-sectional study was conducted with low-income women living in the central region of Brazil, where dietary DHA is not readily available. Fore and hind milk fatty acids were collected from 77 women on day 15±1 postpartum, and information on maternal characteristics and dietary ...

A system for the study of the regulation of the release of triacylglycerols by mammary gland slices was developed. By prelabelling the triacylglycerol pool with [3H]oleate measurements of release of both mass of triacylglycerol and of newly synthesized triacylglycerol have been made. Oxytocin and ovine prolactin stimulated release of triacylglycerol and protein, but the former was 40-fold more effective. Recombinant bovine prolactin was even less active than ovine prolactin, suggesting that contamination ...

Coffee is central to the economy of many developing countries, as well as to the world economy. However, despite the widespread consumption of coffee, there are very few available data showing the usual intake of this beverage. Surveying usual coffee intake is a way of monitoring one aspect of a population's usual dietary intake. Thus, the present study aimed to characterise the usual daily coffee intake in the Brazilian population. We used data from the National Dietary Survey collected in 2008– ...
