We have evaluated the potential protective effect of resistant starch (RS)- and vitamin A-supplemented diets on the promotion of preneoplasic lesions of rat colon, aberrant crypt foci (ACF), induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH). We have tried to show whether the association of these two dietary constituents in the same diet could have synergistic effects. RS, vitamin A, and RS+ vitamin A were incorporated into the rat diets. Experimental diets were given one week after DMH injection and maintained for 12 weeks until the animals were sacrificed. The total number of ACF decreased with the three experimental diets. For RS- and RS + vitamin A-supplemented diets, this decrease is primarily due to a decrease in small ACF. For the vitamin A-supplemented diet, small and large ACF have a tendency to decrease. The effects of the diets on parameters influencing colon carcinogenesis were also studied. Only RS- and RS + vitamin A-supplemented diets have modified cecal pH, fecal and cecal butyrate contents, fecal excretion, cecal weight, and colon length. Vitamin A has been observed in colonic epithelial cells of rats receiving vitamin A- and RS+ vitamin A-supplemented diets. The association between RS and vitamin A shows neither a cumulative nor a synergistic protective effect.

Use of the Paired Retinol Isotope Dilution Test, but with a Single Isotope Dose, to Assess the Impact of a Vitamin A Intervention on Vitamin A Stores in Theoretical Children with Low Stores.

Background: As currently applied, the paired retinol isotope dilution (RID) test, which is used to assess the impact of a vitamin A intervention on vitamin A total body stores (TBS), requires 2 doses of stable isotope-labeled vitamin A.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate use of a single isotope dose (4 μmol) to assess TBS by RID before and after intervention in theoretical children with low/moderate TBS.
Methods: We selected 6 theoretical children with assigned values for TBS ranging from 82 to 281 μmol.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder with no effective interventions for curing or modifying its progression. However, emerging research suggests that vitamin A in the diet may play a role in both the prevention and treatment of AD, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the dietary vitamin A modifies the gut microbiota and intestinal tissue transcriptome, impacting intestinal permeability and the release of inflammatory factors, thereby influencing Aβ pathology shedding light on its potential as a dietary intervention for AD prevention and treatment.
Stability of vitamin A at critical points in pet-feed manufacturing and during premix storage.

The objective of this research was to assess and quantify the potential vitamin A losses that occur during the manufacturing of pet feed and premix, as well as during their extended storage periods. This trial was conducted at a commercial feeder mill that utilized a standard commercial dog feed along with a corresponding vitamin-mineral premix. The calculated amount of vitamin A supplemented in the feed, in addition to the endogenous vitamins present in the ingredients, was adjusted to 18,000 IU/kg of feed.

Meat quality seems to be influenced by the dietary regimes applied for animal feeding. Several research studies are aimed at improving meat quality, preserving it from oxidative processes, by the incorporation of antioxidant components in animal feeding. The main part of these studies evaluates meat quality, determining different parameters directly on meat, while few research studies take into account what may happen after meat ingestion.
