Objective: To evaluate the effects of supplementation with whey protein combined with vitamins C and E on inflammatory markers in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Design And Methods: This was a pioneer, randomized and double-blinded study. Patients were randomized into two groups and stratified by HD frequency.

How Brazilian Schoolchildren Identify, Classify, and Label Foods and Beverages-A Card Sorting Methodology.

This study examined how Brazilian schoolchildren identified, classified, and labeled foods and beverages. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 133 schoolchildren aged 7 to 10 years old from a public school located in southern Brazil in 2015. A set of cards with pictures of 32 food and beverage items from the web-based Food Intake and Physical Activity of Schoolchildren tool (Web-CAAFE) were used.

Vitamin C decreases reduced glutathione in chronic haemodialysis patients: a pilot, randomised, double-blind trial.

Purpose: Whey protein has antioxidant properties through its amino acid cysteine, which enhances the biosynthesis of glutathione, the most abundant antioxidant non-protein in mammalians. Glutathione influences vitamin C recycling and increases its protective effect on oxidative stress (OS). The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of whey protein and vitamin C supplementation on OS biomarkers in chronic haemodialysis (HD) patients.
