    Clin Calcium 2018 ;28(4):483-491
    Faculty of Nutrition, Kagawa Nutrition University, Sakado, Japan.
    Milk has been historically recognized as having great nutritional value;its high nutrient density per energy makes it useful for individuals recovering from malnutrition among others. Milk is composed of an excellent ratio of essential amino acids, with an amino acid score of 100, and enhances the protein content when served with a meal. Additionally, not only is milk rich in calcium, but the absorption rate of calcium contained in the meal increases when milk is served with a meal. Read More

    Br J Nutr 2018 Apr;119(7):826-835
    1Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology and Parasitology,University of Valencia,46100 Burjassot, Valencia, Spain.
    Malnutrition is a common feature of chronic and acute diseases, often associated with a poor prognosis, including worsening of clinical outcome, owing, among other factors, to dysfunction of the most internal organs and systems affecting the absorption, metabolism and elimination of drugs and nutrients. Taurine is involved in numerous biological processes and is required in increased amounts in response to pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to describe the behaviour of taurine in well-nourished (WN) rats and to analyse the influence of protein-energy undernutrition on the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of taurine, using a PK model.

    Fructose Feeding during the Postabsorptive State Alters Body Composition and Spares Nitrogen in Protein-Energy-Restricted Old Rats.
    J Nutr 2018 Jan;148(1):40-48
    Université Clermont Auvergne, INRA, UNH, Unité de Nutrition Humaine, CRNH Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France.
    Background: Fructose feeding in the context of high energy intake is recognized as being responsible for metabolic dysregulation. However, its consumption in the postabsorptive state might contribute to reducing the use of amino acids (AAs) as energy substrates and thus spare nitrogen resources, which could be beneficial during catabolic states.

    Objective: We hypothesized that fructose feeding during a catabolic situation corresponding to protein-energy restriction (PER) in older rats would reduce AA utilization for energy purposes, thus slowing down the loss of body weight (BW) and improving body composition. Read More

    Background: Undernutrition affects over 44% of hospitalised older people, who often dislike oral nutritional supplements (ONS). This review summarises the evidence for an alternative strategy, using energy and protein dense meals (via fortification) or snacks (supplementation) to increase the dietary energy and protein intake of older inpatients.

    Methods: A search was conducted through PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane database of systematic reviews (May 1996 to May 2016) that used fortification or supplementation to increase the energy or protein intake of patients (mean age ≥60 years) in hospitals or rehabilitation centres.

    The intestinal microbiota have emerged as a central regulator of host metabolism and immune function, mediating the effects of diet on host health. However, the large diversity and individuality of the gut microbiota have made it difficult to draw conclusions about microbiota responses to dietary interventions. In the light of recent research, certain general patterns are emerging, revealing how the ecology of the gut microbiota profoundly depends on the quality and quantity of dietary carbohydrates and proteins.

    Tailoring nutrition therapy to illness and recovery.

    Without doubt, in medicine as in life, one size does not fit all. We do not administer the same drug or dose to every patient at all times, so why then would we live under the illusion that we should give the same nutrition at all times in the continuum of critical illness? We have long lived under the assumption that critical illness and trauma lead to a consistent early increase in metabolic/caloric need, the so-called "hypermetabolism" of critical illness. What if this is incorrect? Recent data indicate that early underfeeding of calories (trophic feeding) may have benefits and may require consideration in well-nourished patients. Read More

    Nutr Hosp 2017 Oct 27;34(5):1361-1367. Epub 2017 Oct 27.
    Graduate Program in Nutrition Department of Nutrition, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte.
    Background: There is considerable evidence that abnormal zinc homeostasis is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis, and malnutrition is an independent prognostic factor for worsened survival of ALS patients.

    Objective: To evaluate the dietary intake and zinc status in patients with ALS, treated in a specialized outpatient facility in Natal, Brazil.

    Methods: Twenty patients with ALS (case group) and 37 healthy subjects (control group) were included. Read More

    Introduction: Wildlife is an important source of protein for many people in developing countries. Yet wildlife depletion due to overexploitation is common throughout the humid tropics and its effect on protein security, especially for vulnerable households, is poorly understood. This is problematic for both sustainable rural development and conservation management. Read More
