Dietary treatment of uraemia and the relation to lipoprotein metabolism

Article Abstract:

The dietary treatment of uremia is evaluated on the basis of the adequacy of energy provided by low protein diets. It was pointed out that low protein diets are limited by the degree of residual renal function and the risk for development of insidious malnutrition. The study shows that dyslipoproteinemia which is the predominant characteristic of uraemic patients is not exacerbated by the administration of low-protein diets. However, the effects of other energy-yielding nutrients must be considered in planning diets for patients with renal failure.

A critique of the effects of snacking on body weight status

Article Abstract:

Snacking does not necessarily affect energy balance and body weight control in such a manner as to lead to obesity, as is widely believed. In fact, snacking shows some advantages, in terms of body weight control, over a rigorous pattern of three meals a day. However, the fact whether lean frequent snackers have higher physical activity levels as compared to overweight frequent snackers requires further research. Another question, whether lean frequent snackers reduce the size of their meals to compensate for the snacks, also remains to be answered.

Comparison of a vitamin E rich diet and supplemental vitamin E on measures of vitamin E status and lipoprotein profile

Article Abstract:

This article compares the effects of incorporating foods rich in vitamin E and using vitamin E supplements on plasma levels of alpha tocopherol. Findings indicate that both methods increase plasma alpha tocopherol concentrations and influence the ratio of alpha tocopherol and cholesterol, but dietary modification is more difficult to maintain.
