Objective: The glycemic-independent actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the prandial state in humans are unknown. We examined the contribution of GLP-1 to β-cell secretory response (primary endpoint) and glucose metabolism during protein ingestion under basal glycemia, as well as whether these responses are affected by rerouted gut after gastric bypass (GB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
Methods: Insulin secretion rate (ISR) and glucose fluxes during a 50-g oral protein load were compared among 10 nondiabetic individuals with GB, 9 with SG, and 7 non-operated controls (CN), with and without intravenous infusion of exendin(9-39) (Ex-9), a GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) antagonist.
Results: Blocking GLP-1R increased glucose before and after protein ingestion and decreased β-cell sensitivity to glucose in the first 30 min of protein ingestion in all three groups (p < 0.05). Reduction in the premeal ISR by Ex-9 infusion was only observed in CN, whereas diminished prandial ISR by GLP-1R blockade was only observed in GB and SG (p < 0.05 for interaction). GLP-1R blockade enhanced post-protein insulin action in GB and SG, but not in CN, and exaggerated endogenous glucose production only GB (p < 0.05 for interaction).
Conclusions: These findings are consistent with both pancreatic and extra-pancreatic roles for GLP-1 during protein ingestion in humans that are exaggerated by bariatric surgery.

Although dietary guidelines concerning carbohydrate intake for athletes are well established, these do not include recommendations for daily fibre intake. However, there are many scenarios in sports nutrition in which common practice involves the manipulation of fibre intake to address gastrointestinal comfort around exercise, or acute or chronic goals around the management of body mass or composition. The effect of fibre intake in overall health is also important, particularly in combination with other dietary considerations such as the elevated protein requirements in this population.

The nutritional physiology of parasites is often overlooked although it is at the basis of host-parasite interactions. In the case of Varroa destructor, one of the major pests of the Western honey bee Apis mellifera, the nature of molecules and tissues ingested by the parasite is still not completely understood. Here, the V.

Background: Eating disorders are frequently linked to protein-energy malnutrition, resulting from chronic energy intake reduction, and leading to reduced body weight and altered body composition. A nutritional approach based on the supplementation with a mixture of essential amino acids has proven effective in conditions characterized by reduced dietary intake and increased degradation of endogenous proteins and might also contribute to correct the amino acid deficiency possibly involved in the pathogenesis of eating disorders.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of amino acid supplementation in conjunction with a standard psycho-nutritional rehabilitation program on body composition, symptoms and psychopathology status in 30 female patients with eating disorders hospitalized at the Residenza Palazzo Francisci in Todi, Italy.

The Aux/IAA family proteins, key components of the auxin signaling pathway, are plant-specific transcription factors with important roles in regulating a wide range of plant growth and developmental events. The family genes have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis. However, most of the family genes in rice have not been functionally studied.

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal primarily found as a by-product of zinc production. Cd was a proven carcinogen, and exposure to this metal has been linked to various adverse health effects, which were first reported in the mid-19th century and thoroughly investigated by the 20th century. The toxicokinetics and dynamics of Cd reveal its propensity for long biological retention and predominant storage in soft tissues.
