Flavonoids, substances present in foods of plant origin, play an important role in many metabolic processes. Numerous properties of these substances were described, including their anti-allergic, antitumor and antioxidant properties. Therefore, an increased intake of these nutrients may play a beneficial role in human health. The aim of the presented study was to estimate the daily intake of specific flavonoid compounds using thin layer chromatography (TLC) combined with densitometric qualitative and quantitative analysis. Performed investigations revealed the presence of two flavonoids in the extracts from daily food rations--naringenin and hesperidin. Naringenin content in the daily food ration of women was calculated to be 179-537 mg, whereas in the group of men it ranged around 181-550 mg, depending on the conducted method of extraction and solvent system used. Daily dietary intake of hesperidin was calculated to be 193-534 mg in the group of women and 194-562 mg in the group of men. The highest degree of extraction of these flavonoids was obtained for the mixture of acetone and water (7 : 3, v/v) by means of accelerated solvent extraction (ASE).

The effects of salt reduction and adequate nutrition intake among older adults with physical frailty remain controversial. Therefore, the present study investigated whether the association between daily salt intake and blood pressure among community-dwelling older adults, including the very old people, based on their physical frailty status. This cross-sectional study used data from the SONIC study, a cohort study on older adults, collected between 2010 and 2012.

Background: Young adults (YAs) are underrepresented in behavioral health and weight loss interventions and express interest in flexible, highly tailored programs. Mobile interventions are a lower-burden, scalable approach to providing behavioral support. Just-in-time-adaptive interventions (JITAI) promise to deliver the "right" support at the "right" time using real-time data from smartphones and sensors.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with cottonseed meal (CSM) on growth performance, carcass trait, intestinal development and intestinal microbiota of broilers. A total of 792 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chickens were randomly allotted to three treatment groups, with 8 replicates per group and 33 birds per replicate. The control birds were administered a diet consisting primarily of corn and soybean meal.

Background: Dietary protein adequacy is crucial for muscle health in aging individuals, posing a particular challenge for vegetarian seniors. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigates the impacts of protein-enriched lacto-vegetarian soup supplementation on body composition, physical performance and muscle strength functional assessment as well as cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in older adults.
Methods: We enrolled 100 participants ≥65 years at risk for malnutrition (MNA-SF ≤ 11) and at risk for sarcopenia (SARC-F ≥4 or SARC-CalF ≥11) in this RCT.
