Modifications in bacterial groups and short chain fatty acid production in the gut of healthy adult rats after long-term consumption of dietary Maillard reaction products. Food Res Int 2017; 100:134-142. [PMID: 28873671 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2017.06.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2017] [Revised: 06/26/2017] [Accepted: 06/27/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Bread crust (BC) is one of the major sources of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) in the Western diet. This work was designed to analyze the impact of diets containing important levels of MRPs from BC on intestinal bacterial growth and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production in adult rats. Additionally, the pools of compounds excreted in feces attending to their molecular weights were analyzed. Rats were fed for 88days a control diet or diets containing BC or its soluble high molecular weight (HMW), soluble low molecular weight (LMW) or insoluble fractions, respectively. Intestinal (cecum) microbiota composition was determined by qPCR analysis. Consumption of the BC diet lowered (P<0.05) Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. log10 counts (8 and 14%, respectively), an effect for which soluble LMW and HMW fractions of BC seemed to be responsible. In these same animals, Escherichia/Shigella counts increased by around 45% (P<0.05), a fact which correlated with a higher production of formic acid in feces (r=0.8197, P=0.0458), and likely caused by the combined consumption of all MRPs contained in the BC. A significant 5-fold increment (P<0.05) was detected in the fecal proportion of propionic acid in the BC group, one of the products that have largely been associated with anti-inflammatory actions. Regarding the distribution of MRPs in feces, only the LMW fed group exhibited a predominance of those ranging between 90,000-1000Da, whereas the rest of the groups presented higher amounts of products above 90,000Da. It is concluded that dietary Maillard reaction products are in vivo fermented by the gut microbiota, thereby changing both the pattern of SCFAs production and the microbiota composition.

Abstract
The behaviour of dietary Maillard reaction compounds (MRP) as metal chelating polymers can alter mineral absorption and/or retention. Our aim in this study was to analyse the long-term effects of the consumption of model MRP from glucose-lysine heated for 90 min at 150 °C (GL) on iron, copper and zinc whole-body retention and tissue delivery. For 88 days, weaning rats were fed a Control diet or one containing 3% GL, until reaching the adult stage. During the experimental period a mineral balance was conducted to investigate the mineral retention. At day 88, the animals were sacrificed, blood was drawn for haemoglobin determination and some organs were removed. Copper and zinc balances were unaffected (Cu: 450 vs. 375 μg; Zn: 6.7 vs. 6.2 mg for Control and GL groups, respectively) and no change was observed in whole-body delivery. Iron retention, too, was unaltered (11.2 mg for Control and GL groups) but due to the tendency toward decreased body weight in the GL group (248 vs. 233 g for the Control and GL groups), whole-body iron concentration was 13% higher in the GL group than in the Control group. Absorbed iron accumulated particularly in the liver (144 vs. 190 μg g(-1) for the Control and GL groups), thus reducing haemoglobin levels. The long-term intake of MRP induced iron accumulation in the body but this did not result in enhanced iron functionality, since the haemoglobin concentration declined. Taking into account the findings of our research group's studies of young and adult rats, we now corroborate the hypothesis that the negative effect of GL MRP consumption on iron functionality takes place regardless of the animals' stage of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical and biomechanical properties of bone can be affected by non-enzymatic crosslinks, which are implicated in bone pathologies such as osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of the consumption of model Maillard reaction product (MRP) from glucose-lysine heated for 90 min at 150 °C (GL90) on bone composition and features. Rats were fed either a control diet or a diet containing 30 g kg(-1) GL90 for 88 days. Food consumption and the animals' body weights were monitored. After sacrifice, the femur, pelvic bone and tibia were removed for analysis of their composition and physical and biomechanical properties. RESULTS The organic matrix of the femur and the density of the pelvic bone decreased after MRP intake, whereas pentosidine content increased greatly with respect to the control group (41.7 ± 9.9 vs 171.4 ± 3.3 mmol mol(-1) collagen). The rising level of C-telopeptide degradation products from type I collagen (β-CTX) suggested a possible situation of increased bone resorption and/or higher turnover. CONCLUSION In conjunction, the detrimental effect on the organic matrix, the situation of higher resorption and/or bone turnover indicated by the β-CTX values and the high pentosidine content in bone provoked negative consequences on certain mechanical properties such as the ability to withstand force and absorb energy without failure.

Abstract
Our aim was to analyze the influence of the prolonged consumption of Maillard reaction prod-ucts (MRPs) from the glucose-lysine model system, on calcium and magnesium bioavailability and on tissue distribution in female rats. A long-term study (88 days) was conducted, in which two groups of rats (n = 12) were fed either a Control diet or one including 3 % glucose-lysine MRPs (GL90 diet). During the experimental period, the global balance was determined; calcium apparent absorption, retention, and bioavailability were stable after consumption of the assayed MRPs (37 % and 38 % for the Control and GL90 groups, respectively). Consequently, there was no change in calcium tissue distribution. During the final week, an additional balance was performed, following urine and feces collection, which showed calcium bioavailability to be stable. During the same period, magnesium apparent absorption and retention increased, leading to higher digestibility and bioavailability. However, these variations could be isolated events of little significance, since overall there were no variations in magnesium body content or retention (73 mg and 75 mg for the Control and GL90 groups, respectively). This conclusion was supported by the stability of the magnesium content and its concentration in the organs. These findings are in line with those of previous studies, which have reported the low affinity of these metals to form MRP complexes.

Abstract
The dietary habits of the adolescent population with a high intake of snack and fast foods mean that they consume a high rate of which in turn leads to the development of different degenerative disorders. There are few studies available on MRP absorption and metabolism. We investigated the effects of a MRP-high and a MRP-low diet on carboxymethyllysine (CML) intake and excretion in 11-14 years adolescent males. In a 2-period crossover trial, 20 healthy subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. The first group consumed the MRP-low diet for 2 weeks, observed a 40-day washout period, and then consumed the MRP-high diet for 2 weeks. The second group received the diets in the reverse order. Subjects collected urine and faeces on the last 3 days of each dietary period. The consumption of the MRP-high diet led to a higher CML input (P < 0.05) (11.28 vs. 5.36 mg/day CML for MRP-high and -low diet, respectively). In parallel, the faecal excretion was also greater (P < 0.05) (3.52 vs. 1.23 mg/day CML, respectively) and proportional to the dietary intake. The urinary elimination of CML was not increased significantly when the MRP-high diet was consumed compared to consumption of the MRP-low diet, and was not proportional to the dietary exposure of CML. In conclusion it was shown that CML absorption and faecal excretion were highly influenced by dietary CML levels. Since the compound has long-term effects on health, an excessive intake deserves attention, especially in a population nutritionally at risk as adolescents.

Abstract
Thermal processing of milk is a common practice. As milk is the main source of dietary calcium, this study aimed to assess the effects of overheating milk on calcium availability. Thus, thermally damaged milk (overheated, OH, milk; 3 cycles of sterilization at 116 °C, 16 min) was compared with UHT milk (150 °C, 6s) in 2 types of assays: in vitro and in vivo (rats). In addition, the greater Maillard reaction rate associated with thermal treatment in OH milk was confirmed by determining specific (furosine) and unspecific markers (CieLab color). A negative effect on calcium solubility was observed after in vitro digestion of OH milk compared with UHT milk. Feeding rats the diet containing OH milk as the protein source led to significantly lower values of apparent calcium absorption and retention than those found among animals fed the UHT milk diet. Whereas reducing the absorption appears to result mainly from the decreased food intake, the negative effect on retention seems to be due to factors derived from milk thermal damage, such as the formation of Maillard reaction products. It was concluded that milk-processing conditions warrant special attention to prevent impaired dietary calcium utilization. This may be especially important in situations where milk and dairy products are the main dietary components, such as in early infancy.

Abstract
The effects of a diet based on Mediterranean patterns on iron bioavailability and iron status in adolescents were studied. The study was divided into two periods: basal period, in which 21 male adolescents consumed their habitual diet (basal diet); and nutritional intervention period, during which an experimental diet based on the Mediterranean model was consumed. Dietary iron utilization was studied by means of iron intake and iron output in faeces and urine, and iron status was analysed in fasting blood samples collected at the end of each period. No differences in total iron intake were found between diets, but consumption of the experimental diet increased iron absorption and retention compared with the basal diet. Biochemical parameters related to iron metabolism did not vary after the intervention period, although serum ferritin tended to increase. Therefore, a diet based on Mediterranean dietary patterns may improve dietary iron utilization during adolescence and may prevent iron deficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of pelleting on the extent of the Maillard reaction (MR) and on calcium, magnesium and zinc solubility and absorption were analysed in a conventional pre-starter diet for suckling piglets. Development was tested measuring colour, absorbance (280/420 nm), fluorescence, residual free lysine, furosine, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural contents before and after pelleting. Fluorescence, absorbance and mineral solubility were also measured after in vitro digestion of diets. The effects on mineral absorption were tested using Caco-2 cells. RESULTS MR indexes confirmed the development of the reaction during the pelleting of this particular diet compared with the meal diet. The CIE-Lab colour parameters showed a decrease in luminosity (L*) and progress of the colour to the red zone (a*) in the pelleted diet. A 36% decrease in free lysine content was observed. Significant correlations were observed between fluorescence intensity and furosine levels, HMF and furfural. The pelleting process did not modify calcium and magnesium solubility after in vitro digestion, but soluble zinc increased. The efficiency of calcium and zinc transport across Caco-2 cell monolayers was greater in the pelleted diet. CONCLUSIONS Evidence of MR development is shown, resulting in various nutritional consequences. Optimisation of pelleting could result in a better formulation of diets for feedstuffs.

Abstract
Contents of some indicators of the Maillard reaction (MR) in two diets adjusted to the adolescent requirements are compared: the A-diet, usually consumed by the adolescent population containing their preferred foods cooked by the culinary techniques more frequently chosen; and the B-diet, with the same foods, except those industrially processed and with high content of Maillard reaction products (MRP), cooked in softer processes to minimise the MR. Aliquots of a lunch-dinner (LD) and breakfast-afternoon (BA) snack pools separately from both diets were ground and lyophilised. Fluorescence associated to MRP, CIELAB colour parameters, furosine, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), carboxymethyllysine (CML) and sugar contents were investigated in the samples. Significant losses of lightness were manifested in A samples compared to the B ones. Fluorescence intensity was significantly higher in the LD and BA samples from the A-diet. Furosine measured in the A-diet was similar to that found in the B-diet. However, HMF content was significantly higher in the A-diet, as well as CML. Data showed significant higher levels of advanced MRP in the usual diet. Thus, MRP intake associated to alimentary pattern in the adolescence population might be studied in order to assess the health implications of the MRP consumption and its possible synergic effect with endogenous advanced glycation endproducts.

Abstract
Adolescence constitutes a period of nutritional vulnerability due to increased dietary requirements for growth and development and special dietary habits. A pilot trial was performed to evaluate the dietary calcium utilization among a sample of Spanish boys on their usual diets, in which the calcium intake and consumption of dairy products were as well examined. Nutrient and food intake was recorded using a 24-h dietary recall and a 2-d food consumption record for 21 subjects aged 11-14 years. Dietary calcium utilization was assessed by means of calcium intake in food and calcium output in faeces and urine as measured by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Overall intake of dairy products was 399.3 +/- 22.1 g/d, and the single most consumed item was milk (72% of the total). An inverse relationship was found between dairy product consumption at breakfast (55% of the total) and BMI (p = 0.016, r = -0.5168). Dairy products contributed the majority of dietary calcium (66.9%). Mean calcium intake was 881.7 +/- 39.9 mg/d, 88% of the recommended value for Spanish adolescents. Net calcium absorption (271.7 +/- 51.7 mg/d) and retention (170.6 +/- 50.9 mg/d) seemed not to be sufficient to meet growth demands during puberty. The results shown that adolescents of the study absorbed 31% of dietary calcium and retained nearly 20% of the total intake, but dietary calcium intake and consumption of dairy products failed to meet recommended values. Optimizing calcium intake is of crucial importance among adolescents, to maximize calcium retention and to help prevent osteoporosis in later life.

Abstract
The influence of glucose-lysine and glucose-methionine Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on calcium availability was studied in rats and in Caco-2 cells. Equimolar glucose/lysine and glucose/methionine mixtures (40% moisture) were heated (150 degrees C, 30 or 90 min) to prepare samples (GL30, GL90, GM30, and GM90, respectively). For 21 days, the rats were fed the AIN-93G diet (control group) or diets containing separately 3% of the heated mixtures (GL30, GL90, GM30, and GM90 groups, respectively). In the last week of the trial, a calcium balance was performed. On day 21, the animals were sacrificed and their livers and femurs removed for analysis of calcium levels. The GL30 and GM30 samples and the corresponding raw mixtures were used for Caco-2 cells experiments. Fecal excretion of calcium decreased and urinary elimination increased in the GM30 and GM90 groups. In accordance, increased calcium transport in Caco-2 cells was found in the presence of the GM30 sample, compared with the raw sample. Bone calcium concentration was lower among the animals consuming MRP diets, compared with the control group. The possible long-term effects of MRP intake on calcium deposition in the bone should be further studied to ascertain the implications on related diseases.

Abstract
The purpose of this project was to study the modifications in nutrient composition, amino acid content, and protein quality of white tuna preserves after each of the thermal treatments involved in the canning process. Also the influence that a three years storage period at room temperature has on the nutritional quality of canned tuna was studied. The biological assays used for the study of the protein utilization were carried out on Wistar rats, fed on semi-synthetic diets for 12 days varying only the protein source, casein or tuna provided as follows: raw, cooked in brine, steamed, sterilized tuna, and canned tuna stored for three years. The sterilization process and storage time led to a great increase in the lipid content of the canned tuna and to a porcentual decrease in protein, and moisture content. Amino acid composition of canned and cooked tuna did not show great modifications compared to raw tuna. Neither protein digestibility nor biological value of the cooked, canned, and stored tuna showed any deterioration. The protein quality of white tuna meat preserves has been compared with preserves made up of red and white tuna meat.

Abstract
Sediment borne pesticides are one of the major routes of transport of pesticides into the aquatic environment and could affect biota living closely in contact with it. Sediment residues of DDT were found to be easily adsorbed (95.0%) and were released in hard water (8.4%) and seawater (0.1%). DDT and DDE sediment residues were released into sterile and nonsterile brackish water indicating minimal role of micro-organisms. DDT was detected in oyster and in mussel with an average of 46-62% in the shell, 19-31% in the tissues and 19-23% in the fluids. Most of the sediment residues were extractable and released residues in water were in the form of DDT. In the presence oysters, bound was transformed into extractable DDT in sediment after 30 days equivalent to 26% of the total concentration. Most biota residues were extractable and an average of 46% was transformed to DDE. Uptake of residues depend on whether the source of contamination was by direct addition to the water or through sediment residues, if food was given or not, if the source of sediment residues were either aged or freshly treated and if residues were extractable or non-extractable.

Abstract
The effect of the heat treatment of casein in presence of reducing sugars on some aspects of Zn availability was investigated. Samples were prepared by mixing casein with glucose-fructose, and were used unprocessed (C) or heated (HC). Changes in Zn speciation after the in vitro digestion of the samples, both as part of a diet and in isolation, were studied. The uptake of soluble Zn from the digested samples was investigated in Caco-2 cells. After in vitro digestion, the percentage of precipitated Zn was significantly higher with the HC sample, both when digested alone and as a part of the diet. In assays with Caco-2 cells, a significant decrease in Zn uptake was observed when the uptake buffer contained the sample C digest, by comparison with the control buffer, without casein digest. When the digested heated mixture was added, Zn uptake by the cells was significantly lower than in either of the two other cases. It may be concluded that the heat treatment of casein in the presence of glucose-fructose has a negative effect on Zn availability because, after in vitro digestion, Zn insolubilization was enhanced and Zn uptake by the enterocyte was impaired, compared with the unheated mixture. In addition, the usefulness of Caco-2 cells in this kind of research has been shown.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to monitor Fe, Zn and Cu contents in several maternal tissues and the products of conception of rats submitted to moderate food restriction during pregnancy. Two groups of female rats, nonpregnant (NP) and pregnant (P1), were fed ad libitum. A second group of pregnant rats (restricted diet, P2) was fed for 14 days with the same intake as NP, then the intake was increased by 5% from day 14 to day 21. A significant decrease in liver Fe content was noted in P1 and P2 pregnant rats on day 21, being more marked in livers of P2. Increases in Cu and Zn contents in liver were induced during pregnancy, but the values were significantly lower in P2 than in P1. On day 21, no significant differences due to food restriction were noted in serum concentrations of these trace elements, placental weight and placental Fe. However, dam body weight gain, placental Zn and Cu contents were reduced in P2. Foetuses of undernourished dams exhibited at term lower weight and smaller amounts of Fe, Zn and Cu than those in P1. These results confirm that moderate food restriction during pregnancy produces intrauterine growth retardation and that newborns have low trace element contents (particularly in Cu), which make them dependent on correct postnatal supply.

Abstract
The influence of the consumption of diets containing oil from either fresh sardines or fried sardines, under domestic conditions, on the dietary iron metabolism of rats has been investigated. Three groups of rats were fed, over 28 d, semipurified diets containing 8% of: olive oil (OO), fresh sardine (Clupea pilchardus) oil (SO) and oil from sardines previously fried in olive oil (FSO). Body mass and food intake were monitored and, during the periods 5-12 d and 21-28 d, faeces and urine were collected. At the end of the experiment, the animals were killed and blood, liver, spleen and a segment of skin were stored. Food intake and body mass decreased markedly in the SO rats. These parameters were slightly increased in the FSO group compared with OO. Iron absorption and retention were lower in SO than in OO or FSO. This was primarily caused by the poor food intake but also by the lower efficiency of absorption and high urinary Fe losses. Liver and spleen iron contents were reduced by half in SO compared with the other groups, partly owing to the smaller size of the organs, and liver Fe concentration also decreased. These results, together with the high total iron binding capacity, the decreased level of hemoglobin and total erythrocytic iron found in the SO animals, indicate that the consumption of fresh sardine oil as the only dietary fat resulted in iron depletion. The SO animals showed a higher Fe accumulation in skin than OO or FSO. It was concluded that a diet high in sardine fatty acid administered as a unique source of fat, can cause metabolic alterations including iron depletion, but these negative effects of sardine oil disappear with frying, probably owing to the exchange that takes place between fatty acids in the olive oil used in frying and those in the sardine oil.

Abstract
A study was made of the influence of the consumption of white tuna (subjected to various thermal treatments) on the bioavailability of dietary iron. Biological assays were carried out on Wistar rats fed semi-synthetic diets varying only in the protein source, casein-methionine, or tuna provided in the following forms: raw, cooked in brine, sterilized with or without soybean oil, and canned and stored for a period of 1 or 3 years. Feed intake, the fecal and urinary excretion of iron, and the iron content of the liver were monitored. Absorption of iron was enhanced by consuming the diet containing raw white tuna. However, the beneficial effect of raw tuna was greatly reduced by cooking it in brine, and even more so by sterilization, especially in the presence of oil. The benefit was partly restored by storing the conserves for a period of 1 or 3 years. It is hypothesized that structural alterations to the protein caused by thermal processes can affect the solubility and bioavailability of iron.

Abstract
The isolated ACTH deficiency is a scarcely diagnosed disease of heterogeneous nature. Two patients with isolated deficiency of ACTH in whom the initial diagnosis was of primary suprarrenal failure are reported. In the first case this diagnosis was performed after hospital admission for deterioration of the level of consciousness and the development of an acute suprarrenal crisis in the course of nosocomial pneumonia. In the second case the clinical manifestations began as weakness, anorexia, weight loss and lymphocytosis with eosinophilia. In both patients an increase in the thyrotropic hormone was detected leading to suspicion of the existence of associated primary hypothyroidism. Finally, several studies were carried out (basal measurements of cortisol and ACTH, stimulation with continual perfusion of ACTH, insulinic hypoglycemia, global study of adenohypophysary function, ACTH CRF release factor test, computerized tomography of the pituitary region) in both patients leading to the definitive diagnosis of isolated ACTH deficiency of idiopathic cause of possible pituitary origin without the existence of other associated hormonal deficiencies.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the dietary zinc bioavailability in diets containing raw, cooked, steamed, and canned tuna as a protein source in the diet, and to evaluate different means of preparation, as well as various storage periods of the canned tuna, which was prepared according to industrial standards. Sterilized oil-free canned tuna was also made. The biological assays used for the study of the zinc utilization were carried out on Wistar rats fed with semi-synthetic diets for 12 days varying only in the protein source, which was casein-methionine or tuna provided as follows: raw, cooked in brine, steamed, sterilized with or without soybean oil, canned and stored for one or three years. Body weight, food intake, faecal and urinary zinc excretion, and zinc content in rat liver were monitored. No modifications were shown in food efficiency when diets including tuna were used, compared with those values from the casein-methionine diet. Thus, final body weight results were similar in all groups tested. Dietary zinc absorption was enhanced by consuming a raw white tuna diet. This beneficial effect disappeared after steaming or cooking in brine, but it was slightly recovered after sterilization with oil and storage of the canned tuna. Animals fed on the diets including the oil-free canned tuna, showed two or three times higher faecal and urinary zinc excretion than those fed on casein and canned tuna stored for 0, 1 or 3 years, reaching a negative balance. A negative effect was therefore found in both dietary and endogenous zinc utilization due to the consumption of oil-free canned tuna.

Abstract
Two groups of female rats, non-pregnant (NP) and pregnant (P1), were fed ad libitum. A second group of pregnant rats (restricted diet, P2) were restricted for 14 d to the same intake as NP, and their ration was then increased by 5% from d 14 to d 21. For the first 3 d P1 and P2 absorbed a higher percentage of calcium than NP. During the final wk of pregnancy serum calcium decreased and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol increased regardless of the dietary regimen. In both P1 and P2, femur calcium was higher than in NP on d 7 and apparent bone density increased during the 2nd wk of pregnancy and decreased from then on, this decrease being more pronounced in P2. On d 21, P2 fetuses were smaller and contained a smaller amount of calcium than those in P1, although the calcium concentration in the body remained similar in both groups of fetuses.

Abstract
The relationship between physical exercise and diet in order to optimize performance is getting growing interest. This review examines protein needs and protein intakes as well as the role of protein in the body and the metabolic changes occurring at the synthesis and catabolic levels during exercise. Protein synthesis in muscle or liver, amino acids oxidation, glucose production via gluconeogenesis from amino acids, etc., are modified, and consequently plasma and urinary nitrogen metabolites are affected. A brief comment on the advantages, disadvantages and forms of different protein supplements for sportsmen is given.

Abstract
Some aspects of zinc nutritive status in patients suffering from anorexia nervosa were evaluated. Basic anthropometric measurements, Zn levels in serum, urine and hair as well as serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; Zn-dependent enzymes) and delayed dermal hypersensitivity were tested both in patients and in control subjects. The patients showed higher Zn levels in serum (123%), hair (85%) and urine (215%) than controls, whereas ALP and LDH values were 38 and 21%, respectively, lower than those from the control group. Half of the patients showed hypoergy, and less than 50% of them were able to show a normal immune response. These results suggest that Zn-dependent functions may be impaired in anorexia nervosa as a consequence of Zn unavailability.

Abstract
Some parameters relating nutritional utilization of Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn were studied in rats fed with diets including raw and fried fats in order to study more in depth the diet fat/mineral utilization interaction. Wistar rats having initial weights of 176 g were divided into two groups and fed isocaloric diets having 15% fat content as raw olive oil and fried olive oil (from 15 potato fryings), during pregnancy. Weight and dietary intake were controlled and mineral content changes in plasma, liver, spleen and carcass were assessed, as well as litter mineral uptake. Throughout the study, dietary intake of pregnant rats fed raw (R) and fried oil (F), body weight gain and final weight gain were similar. Serum Fe, Zn and Ca levels decreased at a similar rate in both groups. Liver Fe levels decreased more in the F group while spleen Fe decreased more in the R group, these changes started on day 18. Liver Zn levels did not show clear changes but spleen Zn decreased during the last three days of pregnancy. Carcass Ca levels of pregnant rats from the R and F groups did not show any differences at the end of pregnancy. Body weight gain, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn uptake of the litter were similar in both groups throughout the study. The placentas and the offspring of treated rats showed similar absolute and relative mineralization values. These findings lead us to conclude that fried olive oil retained the same characteristics as raw olive oil regarding mineral utilization.

Abstract
An oil involved in the 'toxic syndrome' and two similar mixtures of oils, one with and the other without added oleoanilides, were studied for their effects on the utilization of protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and zinc. Forty-eight female Wistar rats initially weighing about 75 g were fed for 28 days on the same semi-synthetic diet containing: virgin olive oil, or a mixture of canbra oil (50%), refined olive-pomace oil (20%), grapeseed oil (20%) and animal fat (10%), or the same dietary mixture supplemented with either 700 ppm oleoanilides or the alleged toxic oil. Weight, food intake and nutritional balances were monitored. The food intake of the animals fed the toxic oil began to decrease at the end of the trial, producing a reduction in the amount of nutrients ingested, but no weight loss. This oil also negatively affected the digestion of protein, potassium, sodium and zinc, the mechanism of which, in the case of the first two, appears to be related to the source of the fat. It also decreased metabolic utilization while favouring protein catabolism and the elimination of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. No substantial modifications were noted in the animals' bones.

Abstract
An oil implicated in the Spanish "toxic syndrome" was studied for its effect on fat digestibility and adipose-tissue composition in rats. The effects produced by the mixture of oils and those induced by the presence of oleoanilides were assessed separately. For 4 wk, Wistar rats were fed diets containing either a mixture of oils similar to that constituting the toxic oil, the same mixture of oils supplemented with oleoanilides, or the toxic oil (which also contained oleoanilides) and were then compared with a group fed olive oil. Food consumption fluctuated sharply in the group fed the toxic oil, falling significantly in the last week of the study. The digestibility coefficient of the various fats was similar, although the rats fed the toxic oil did absorb less fat because of the lower intake. The nitrogen content of the periovarian adipose tissue was highest in the rats fed the toxic oil, and the adipose-tissue fatty acids most affected by this treatment were linoleic and linolenic acid. The delta-9 desaturase activity, measured in terms of the C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1/C18:0 ratios, was significantly less in the group fed the toxic oil, which suggests functional modifications of the adipocyte related to lipogenesis.

Abstract
It was studied the levels of phosphorus in serum and urine in two groups of pregnant women. One group was advised to follow their usual intake and the other to supplement the diet with 750 ml of milk. A control group of healthy non pregnant women were conformed to the same protocol. Pregnant women that followed their usual intake had the same levels of serum phosphorus and maximum phosphate transport as controls. Pregnant women who had taken milk supplement showed in the second and third trimester of pregnancy significantly lower serum phosphorus and maximum phosphate transport levels than controls and also with respect to pregnant women in the first trimester. It suggests a possible influence of diet on these parameters. Both groups of pregnant women showed hyperphosphaturia through the three trimesters.

Abstract
The effect of the manufacturing process on canned tuna (Thunnus alalunga) by the sterilization procedure at 115 degrees C for 60 and 90 minutes on its protein quality was studied. Protein quality was mainly evaluated according to its efficiency for animal growth. Protein from food obtained by the sterilization procedure at 115 degrees C for 60 minutes was similar for animal growth to that from a standard casein-methionine diet. No changes in digestibility and biological values were found between both proteins. Nevertheless, when the sterilization procedure was prolonged up to 90 minutes, the protein suffered modifications. Thus, protein digestibility decreased in spite of the fact that protein digestibility remained unmodified. On the other hand, introduction of the mixed protein into a diet based on flour plus tuna sterilized at 115 degrees C for 90 minutes, was not capable of maintaining the optimum patterns for weight evolution.

Abstract
The influence of consumption of increasing ethanol solutions of 5, 7.5 and 10%/99.5% (v/v), on total body mineral composition, but particularly the ethanol effect on the contents of Ca, P, Mg, Zn, Na and K, for eight weeks was studied in the adult rat. Both females and males voluntarily lower their liquid intake when daily ethanol ingestion is about 1.4 and 1.7 g, respectively. These ethyl ingestions introduce some modifications in male body composition, but not in females, with an increase in the relative water content and a decrease of the carcass dry substance. The latter would be the main reason for the decrease in male body content of Ca, P, Zn, Mg and K, at least from the 7.5% v/v solution. Ca, P and Zn seem to be the most modified elements. Likewise, there are negative influences regarding Na, but they are not clearly evidenced until ethanol consumption reaches 1.9 g per day. Female body weight did not undergo any change, under any tested experimental conditions or their body ashes suffer any deterioration.

Abstract
Five experiments were conducted in which various levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) were fed to adult male quail (diets D-1: Ca = 1.54%, p = 0.80%; D-2: Ca = 3.20%, P = 0.81%; D-3: Ca = 1.57%, P = 1.66%; D-4: Ca = 3.40%, P = 1.71%; D-5: Ca - 2.20%, P = 0.81%). The interaction between Ca and P, and the effect on some nutritive hematic and osseous parameters were investigated for each diet. Feeding high P caused a body weight decrease in D-4 adult quail (P less than 0.05) and diminished food intake in the birds of trial D-3 (P less than 0.05). The results indicated that the excretion of Ca or P is a lineal function of its own intake. Neither the pattern of relationship between the intake and excretion of Ca was altered by the levels of phosphorus in the diets, nor the levels of calcium altered the pattern of P. With these levels of Ca and P interaction between both nutrients were not demonstrated. Plasma Ca levels and dry weight of femur as well as the ash content in them, were not significantly decreased, although the levels of the latter components were inferior in the groups fed non-adjusted diets in the Ca:P ratio (diets D-1, D-2, D-3 and D-4).

Abstract
The influence of alimentary calcium deprivation on the nutritional utilization of phosphorus and its corporal retention, after ingestion of diethylstilbesterol has been studied in quail. When female quail are given a highly calcium-deficient diet, egg-laying stops and there follows a substantial decrease in phosphorus utilization and retention, as well as a clear drop in bone mineralization, with calcium and phosphorus content losses in the femur. In males, deprivation of alimentary calcium shows tangible effects on phosphorus retention only when this situation concurs with prior ingestion of diethylstilbestrol.

Abstract
A study was made of the Ca and P balance, Ca and P content in the femur, physical characteristics of the egg, mineral structure of the shell, and the number of eggs in quails treated with dieldrin (20 mg/kg of diet) for 48 days. The diet contained 3.24% Ca and 0.72% P. The Ca and P balance, the bone contents of Ca and P and the calcemia in the males were not changed by the pesticide. In the females, the pesticide decreased the amount of excreted Ca and Ca in the egg, for which reason the coefficient of nutritive utilization (CNU), the coefficient of corporal retention (CCR), and the Ca level in the femur were greater in treated laying quails. The calcemia remained stable, and the balance of P was not significantly modified by the dieldrin. The study of weight, size, and strength of the egg did not reveal any influence of the dieldrin, and egg production fluctuated throughout the test period.

Abstract
The effect of two Ca/P relations (2.1 y 4.5) in the diet on nutritive utilization of both minerals, egg production and egg characteristics (weight, size, resistence and shell Ca content) was studied. Nutritive utilization and absolute body retention of Ca were higher with a Ca/P relation of 4.5, while the lower Ca/P relation (2.1) produced a greater utilization of P, without differences as high as in the case of Ca. As a whole, the diet with a Ca/p relation = 2.1 was more efficiently utilized but egg production did not rise optimal levels got on the diet with a Ca/P relation = 4.5 Egg characteristics were similar with both treatments.

Abstract
Young adult male and laying female quail, fed with a diet containing 2.64% Ca and 0.70% P, were used to study nutritive utilization, corporal calcium retention and endogenous excretion, calcemia, laying and properties of the egg (including the shell structure), mineralization of the femur bone, as well as the influence of diethylstilbestrol upon these parameters. The coefficient of nutritive utilization (C.N.U.) in the female was high and logically superior to that of the male, while the corporal retention was quite similar for both sexes. Most of the Ca absorbed (81.8%) and not excreted in urine, went to the egg and only 18.2% remained in the body. The diethylstilbestrol caused a big reduction of the C.N.U. in the female, but not in the male, parallel to an inhibition of laying, and an increase of corporal retention of used calcium. In both sexes the calcemia surprisingly increased, and the calcium level of the femur bone was higher, and even though the cortical osseous zone was slightly wider, the effect of treatment was noticeable, particularly in the medular tissue, which incremented in the female and appeared in the male. When quail were fed a calcium-restricted diet, the endogenous excretion of this mineral was small in the case of the female and significantly smaller in the male. This situation suppressed egg laying and resulted in a clearly decreased bone mineralization. The ingestion of diethylstilbestrol before feeding a diet poor in calcium provoked an increase of the endogenous excretion of calcium in both female and male quail.
