Low energy intake is one the most important factors related to nutritional wasting during diarrheal episodes and fat is the macronutrient with the highest energy value. So we intended to seek dietary fat sources, with the highest bioavailability during diarrheal episodes. Three basal (control) and

To compare the efficacy of a low-lactose hydrolyzed milk formula, a lactose-free corn syrup-based milk formula, and a standard lactose-containing formula during refeeding after rehydration in infants with gastroenteritis, 135 patients older than 2 years were studied by randomized trial. Clearly

The safety of rare sugar syrup obtained from high-fructose corn syrup under slightly alkaline conditions was studied. Mutagenicity of rare sugar syrup was assessed by a reverse mutation assay using Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, and an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay using

We evaluated the in vitro and in vivo digestibility and clinical tolerance of three corn syrup sugars (DE10, 15, 24) and one infant formula containing corn syrup sugar as the sole carbohydrate source (DE24). In vitro studies were conducted using human duodenal fluid and jejunal mucosa with normal

A double-masked clinical trial was conducted to assess the effects of inclusion of beans in a mixed diet for young Peruvian children with acute diarrhea. Dietary treatment consisted of either rice, beans, and vegetable oil (group RB, n = 25) or rice, soy-protein isolate, corn syrup solids, and

The name Vibrio hollisae (synonym = Special Bacteriology group EF-13) is proposed for a new group of 16 strains that occurred in stool cultures of patients with diarrhea. V. hollisae is a small gram-negative rod, which is motile with a single polar flagellum. No lateral or peritrichous flagella were

The non-toxic B subunit (CT-B) of cholera toxin from Vibrio cholerae is a strong immunogen and amplifies the immune reaction to conjugated antigens. In this work, a synthetic gene encoding for CT-B was expressed under control of a γ-zein promoter in maize seeds. Levels of CT-B in maize plants were

In each one of the samples, investigation of osmolarity, concentration of sodium chloride and proteins and bacteria was carried out. With these data, concentration of solutes in milks was estimated, together with a calculation of renal charge they represented. The most outstanding results showed

Five groups of male weanling rats were provided purified diets containing 15% by weight of either fresh or laboratory-heated corn oil (FCO, HCO) or fresh, laboratory-heated, or commercial pressure deep-fry peanut oil (FPO, HPO, PPO). Total weight gain, feed consumption, and feed efficiency were

Ampicillin trihydrate is a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic penicillin that is effective in the treatment of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections produced by Streptococcus, Bacillus anthracis, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Escherichia coli. This antibiotic is used

Diet has a significant effect on immune and inflammatory responses. To date, no studies have described how consumption of a diet containing a relatively high amount of cheese affects immune responses and the inflammatory status of the body. We examined these responses in normal mice and mice with

Dietary inclusion of salts of organic acids may modulate intestinal microbiota and enhance performance of pigs. Published data on the effects of potassium formate (KF; pH 6.0-8.5) on pig performance are scarce compared with that of potassium diformate (KDF; pH 4.1-4.5). Therefore, the objective was

Macronutrients can modulate the intestinal absorption of trace elements by binding the metal or altering mucosal function. We investigated whether certain simple and complex carbohydrates modify copper (Cu) absorption, using an in vivo perfusion technique in the rat. Corn syrup solids, which contain

o-Benzyl-p-chlorophenol is an aryl halide biocide with widespread use in hospitals and households as a broad-spectrum germicide in disinfectant solutions and soap formulations for general cleaning and disinfecting. Human exposure to o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol occurs by absorption through the skin and

Polar coordinate mapping was used to determine the rate of growth of individual sudanophilic lesions on the aortic wall around several major branches of the aortae of cholesterol fed rabbits. Four groups, with 6 8-month old male albino white rabbits in each, were used in the study. One group served
