摘要:

Using 24-hour dietary and nutrient intake of 293 infants 7-12 months of age from NHANES II, 1976-80, we determined the hypothetical effects of different milk feedings on total intake of 12 nutrients. Infants were grouped by age at 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12 months. Human milk (HM), Fe-fortified infant formula (I-FM), whole cow's milk (WCM), and 2% lowfat milk (2%) were substituted to provide the same energy as that calculated from the difference between median energy intake provided by solid foods and the total diet. Nutrients from milk feedings were added to median nutrient intake from solid foods. Use of WCM or 2% resulted in low total intakes of Fe (6.3-11.1 mg) and linoleic acid (0.5-2.5 g) and high intakes of protein (32-47 g), Na (630-1,200 mg), K (1,400-1,900 mg), and Ca (920-1,170 mg) relative to the RDA. Feeding of HM provided total intakes that met the RDA for each nutrient except Fe (6.1-10.8 mg) and Ca (350-370 mg). When I-FM was fed, the RDA was met for each nutrient except Ca (370-490 mg) at all ages and Fe (13.1 mg) at 11-12 months. Estimated safe and adequate daily intake of Na was exceeded at 9-10 months by infants fed WCM/2% and at 11-12 months by all infants regardless of milk feeding, primarily because of the high Na content of solid foods. These data confirm that the milk feeding is still the major determinant of total nutrient intake in the second 6 months of life.

摘要:

This study demonstrates that a three-week stabilization period, in which all subjects eat an identical diet, produced a more uniform but different baseline of metabolic parameters than the subject's self-selected or“habitual”diets. Subjects required more food energy to maintain initial body weights during the stabilization period than when they ate their reported self-selected diets; average intakes of almost all nutrients were higher from the stabilization than from the self-selected diet. The switch to the stabilization diet produced small but significant reductions in blood pressure, in some serum enzymes, urine volume, and sodium; and statistically significant increases in serum LDL cholesterol, potassium, aldosterone, protein, albumin, phosphorus, BUN, and in urine potassium. The findings indicate that results must be interpreted with caution from studies in which the baseline for measuring metabolic variables is established by feeding subjects a standardized diet that differed markedly from their regular, self-selected diets.

摘要:

To investigate the role of potassium on blood pressure we measured serum potassium, urinary excretion of potassium and sodium, fractional excretion of potassium, urinary sodium:potassium ratio, plasma renin activity, aldosterone, and norepinephrine during dynamic maneuvers in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. After baseline measurements, we expanded intravascular volume with infusion of intravenous saline and then induced sodium and volume depletion by diuretic administration during a low sodium salt diet. These studies were performed in 431 normotensive and 478 hypertensive subjects enabling evaluation of the effects of age, race, and sex, as well as blood pressure, on the results. Among normotensives, we found that white subjects had significantly P less than 0.05) higher levels of serum and urine potassium, fractional potassium excretion and lower urinary sodium:potassium ratios than black subjects and that males had the same patterns of differences compared to females. Similar, but less consistent racial differences were seen among the hypertensive subjects. We also observed significant (P less than .05) correlations between urinary potassium excretion and body weight in both normal and hypertensive groups. In normal subjects, a significant correlation was observed between the urinary sodium:potassium ratio and blood pressure that was not seen in the hypertensives. The latter, however, displayed a significant (P less than .05) inverse relationship between serum potassium and blood pressure. Multiple regression analysis revealed that urinary potassium excretion was influenced by age, race, sex, body weight, blood pressure, creatinine clearance, renin, and aldosterone. These observations reveal important relationships between potassium homeostasis and blood pressure control that deserve further study.

摘要:

The metabolic response to chronic undernutrition covers a wide spectrum that ranges from decreased growth velocity in mild cases to profound distortion of body silhouette and composition and functional derangements in advanced stages of the protein-energy malnutrition-infection complex. A wide gamut of molecular, enzymatic, and hormonal processes assure a temporary availability of endogenous nutrients and the maintenance of vital functions.

摘要:

Six gastrointestinal hormones were measured in the plasma of six healthy controls and long-term changes were evaluated in six patients 2-20 years after upper gastrointestinal surgery. In a metabolic unit study we determined fasting hormonal levels, the time to peak hormonal response, and a 135-minute hormonal response to the meal. Test meals were isocaloric, 500 kcal, and isonitrogenous, consisting either of natural breakfast components or of complete liquid diets with intact protein (Ensure) or hydrolyzed protein (Vital). Postsurgical subjects were in good health and had no postcibal complaints. Nevertheless, their hemoglobin and serum albumin were significantly lower than in controls. Postsurgical subjects had higher fasting gastrin (121.3 +/−11.6 vs 65.4 +/−6.6 pg/ml, P less than .01) and motilin (148.7 +/−32.9 vs 70.4 +/−13.1 pg/ml, P less than .05) than controls. In postsurgical patients the peak gastrin and pancreatic glucagon responses to meals were obtained in significantly shorter time. Their total response to motilin and secretin to meals was significantly lower than in controls. Fasting glucose and the meal-induced responses of insulin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide were not different from controls. The nature of dietary protein did not significantly affect hormonal responses to feeding. We conclude that gastrointestinal hormonal changes persist many years after surgery. These changes are probably related to faster transit of meals with a generally weaker total hormonal response to feeding. Although these differences from normal may be nutritionally well compensated, they may become important in periods of metabolic stress.

摘要:

Serum magnesium has been determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in a national sample of the United States population between 1971 and 1974. Mean values and percentile distributions are presented for ages 1-74 in males and females in two racial groups. Mean values decreased in both sexes from age 1 to ages 12-24. In females, they increased again after age 25, while males showed little change after age 17. Small sex differences were observed between ages 18 and 45, with men having higher levels than women. Both white males and females had higher serum levels than black males and females of the same age. These differences were statistically significant in many age groups, particularly in young and middle-aged adults. These data are unique inasmuch as they represent the only broad population measurements of serum magnesium in the United States. No comparable data exist as far as is known. The values shown can be considered as normative for the U.S. population. A review of the literature with comparable data was done and results are included; a discussion of the findings from these studies is presented.
