Different time-restricted feeding patterns potentially modulate metabolic health by altering tryptophan metabolism of gut microbes in pigs.

Food Res Int

December 2024

Laboratory of Gastrointestinal Microbiology, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Gastrointestinal Nutrition and Animal Health, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China; National Center for International Research on Animal Gut Nutrition, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Time-restricted feeding (TRF) in pigs was tested to understand its effects on metabolic health compared to ad libitum feeding (ALF) with a focus on common eating habits.
  • All three TRF patterns (standard, early, and mid-day) resulted in less fat buildup in the liver and improved liver function markers, regardless of how much food was consumed.
  • The study found that TRF influenced liver gene expression and altered gut microbiota, particularly increasing Lactobacillus levels, which were linked to reduced serum triglycerides and improved lipid metabolism.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mid-day meal programmes (MDM) in India aim to enhance school attendance, nutritional status, and educational results for children, with multiple studies evaluating their impact but challenges in synthesizing findings.
  • - A systematic review of 31 studies from 1997 to 2022 reveals mixed results on nutritional improvements, though regular MDM access benefits school enrollment, attendance, and retention, leading to lower dropout rates.
  • - The conclusion indicates that while MDM programmes have positively influenced academic achievement and some nutritional aspects, their overall effect on academic performance is uncertain, highlighting the need for continued support of these programmes in India.
