The Influence of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome on Liver Fatty Acid Profile: What can we Learn from Animal Models
Whole body fatty acids can originate from three different sources: food, de novo lipogenesis and bioconversion. Fatty acids generated de novo, as well as fatty acids derived from food can be bioconverted to longer-chain fatty acids with more carbon atoms and/or double bonds, by a series of steps of desaturation and elongation, or shortened by β oxidation steps and recycled between peroxisomes and the endoplasmatic reticulum.

Green Energy Recovery from Food Waste Using Microbial Fuel Cell - A Mini Review
Nowadays, the disposal of waste on environment has increased drastically and it is predicted to increase even more in the near future. Waste disposal, has massive environmental impacts and can cause serious problems to the environment. Food waste is considered as one of the major source of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) globally. Meanwhile, food waste is an organic rich solid waste which has a relatively high energy content, and it seems ideal to achieve dual benefits from energy recovery and waste [..] READ MORE
Influence of Some Botanical Powders in Preserving Nutritional Quality of Stored Sorghum Infested by Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Nigeria
Quality deterioration in sorghum grain caused by S. zeamais after six months post treatment with some botanicals and infestation was determined by proximate and mineral analyses of the grain before and after infestation. Twenty grams of sorghum were treated with leaf powders of Euphorbia balsamifera Aiton, Lawsonia inermis L., [..] READ MORE
Impact of Perioperative Immunonutrition in Colorectal Surgery
The association between malnutrition and digestive pathology due to surgical treatment is well known and causes an increase in postoperative complications.
In recent years, standard nutritional formulas have been modified by the addition of specific components such as arginine, ?-3 fatty acids, and glutamine, among others, in what has been termed immunonutrition. Immunonutrition results in an elevated immune response by modulating the inflammatory response and enhancing protein synthesis afte [..] READ MORE
Healthy Benefits of Ganoderma lucidum as Herb Medicinal Mushroom

Quality Assessment of Eggs from Quails and Chickens
Consumption of fertile eggs will provide more nutrients than infertile eggs, is the focus of the study. 120 chicken (layer) eggs and 120 quail’s birds were housed from day old to 24 weeks. 60 birds each were separated as treatment A to produce infertile eggs, while treatment B had 54 hens with 6 cocks, to produce fertile eggs in a factorial arrangement. Birds on treatment A were fed compounded layer mash, while those on treatment B were fed compounded grower mash. The eggs produced were evaluate [..] READ MORE
