Disease relevance of Nutritive Value

• To evaluate nutritional availability and chronic toxicity of KSeCN, female postweanling rats were fed casein-based diets plus 0.1, 0.5, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg Se/kg as KSeCN for 6 wk, or 0.1, 0.5 and 10 mg Se/kg as Na2SeO3 [1].
• The effects of selected NRRL strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. buchneri, L. cellobiosus and L. fermentum upon oligosaccharide, phytate and alkaloid contents, as well as on the nutritive value of lupine, were investigated [2].

High impact information on Nutritive Value

• As potent antioxidants, tocotrienols contribute to the nutritive value of cereal grains in human and livestock diets. cDNAs encoding homogentisic acid geranylgeranyl transferase (HGGT), which catalyzes the committed step of tocotrienol biosynthesis, were isolated from barley, wheat and rice seeds [3].
• Enhanced methionine levels and increased nutritive value of seeds of transgenic lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L.) expressing a sunflower seed albumin gene [4].
• CONCLUSION: The amount of 5-HT released after a 5-HT releasing agent and the effect of an SSRI on extracellular 5-HT are dependent on the nutritional availability of TRP [5].
• Many "functional foods" (FF), common foods with health benefits beyond their nutritive value, have antioxidant properties with the potential to mediate the degenerative changes of aging [6].
• The second was to determine the nutritional availability of lysine [7].

Biological context of Nutritive Value

• Results indicate that the genotypes of pulses with low phytic acid content could be identified and used in breeding program to improve their nutritive value and utilization [8].
• Percent proximate composition, amino acid composition, and protein nutritive value were determined for the yeast cell biomass (YC), a sodium perchlorate extracted and isoelectrically precipitated protein concentrate (P-PC), and a sodium trimetaphosphate treated extract followed by isoelectrical precipitation (TMP-PC) [9].

Anatomical context of Nutritive Value

• The nutritive value of two nitrogen-containing mixtures, one formed from small peptides (milk protein mild enzymatic hydrolysates) and the other consisting of a mixture of free amino acids having the same pattern except for glutamine, was measured in rats with and without experimental liver and exogenous pancreas dysfunction [10].

Associations of Nutritive Value with chemical compounds

• The nutritive values of DL- and D-tryptophan relative to the L-isomer were 47 and 21%, respectively in chicks and close to 100% in rats [11].
• Plasma lysine levels were significantly depressed, while the plasma levels of glucose and most other amino acids were elevated in relation to the loss in nutritive value of dietary protein after browning [12].
• The total cystine content of FM and the rate of its liberation by pancreatin may also seve as an indication of the nutritive value of FM protein [13].
• However, after this initial period, the rats selected the diet of higher nutritive value, even though it had added sucrose octaacetate [14].
• The nutritive value and safety of D-phenylalanine and D-tyrosine in mice [15].

Gene context of Nutritive Value

• Nutritive value and removal of nucleic acids and toxins from SCP as a protein-supplementing source are discussed [16].
• The dietary induction of hepatic ODC depended on the nutritive value of dietary protein; zein or gelatin was effective only when supplemented with limiting amino acids and there was a good correlation between the hepatic ODC level and the relative growth rate [17].
• Several of its constituents possess nutritive value, as well as antigenotoxic and antioxidant effects [18].
• Nutritive value of four wild leafy vegetables in Côte d'Ivoire [19].
• Effect of heat treatment on the toxicity and nutritive value of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris var. Rosinha G2) proteins [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nutritive Value

• Six in vivo digestion trials were conducted to determine the relative nutritive value of SCP that was dewatered by centrifugation or by the addition of a polyacrylamide polymer before being put through a belt press and dried with a sonic dehydrator [21].
