Quinoa () is renowned for its high protein content and balanced amino acid profile. Despite promising protein characteristics, plant-based sources usually possess antinutritional factors (ANFs). This study aimed to analyze the nutritional and ANFs composition of three quinoa varieties (Black, Yellow, and Red), and assessed the protein quality.

- The study explored how the texture of food, particularly factors like lubricity and oral coating, affects feelings of hunger and food intake.
- Milk protein-rich beverages with varying coating properties were tested, showing that a high coating led to a temporary increase in fullness after 20 minutes.
- Results indicated that while a higher concentration of protein in saliva decreased appetite ratings, oral coating and lubricity have minimal impact on overall energy intake and gut peptide responses, suggesting the need for further research on these texture attributes.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists study how animals change to survive in different places, which is really important for understanding biology.
- They looked at chimpanzees, our closest relatives, who live in many types of environments like rainforests and savannahs.
- By examining genetic information from wild chimpanzees, they discovered that some chimps have adapted to fight off malaria in similar ways to humans, showing how important genetic diversity is for endangered animals.
Effects of Anthocyanins on Cognition and Vascular Function: A Systematic Review.
Mol Nutr Food Res
July 2024
Scope: Good vascular function is crucial for cerebral blood flow and cognitive performance. Diets high in anthocyanins have been shown to improve vascular function and are associated with improvements in cognition. This systematic review investigates randomized controlled trials examining the impact of anthocyanin intake on both cognition and vascular function.

This has not been investigated in males. We investigated whether age- and body mass index-matched healthy males differ from the previously reported females in IMCL composition (measured as CH:CH) and IMCL concentration (measured as CH), and in their associations with insulin resistance.
