Effect Of 9 Α-Fluorohydrocortisone Acetate On Gastric And Salivary Electrolytes Of Normal Fasting Subjects, Ardis Stern Beckner

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The effect of 9α-FF on the Na:K ratio, chloride, and pH of saliva and gastric secretions, and on the total and free acid of gastric juice in normal human subjects was investigated. This study was designed to investigate whether conditions could be produced in the normal human subject similar to those present in patients with primary aldosteronism by using large doses of 9α-FF. August and others found a change in salivary electrolytes when cortisone, desoxycortisone, or ACTH were given to normal subjects. In these cases as in primary aldosteronism there was a decreased Na:K ratio and potassium excretion, with sodium …

A Book On Nutrition And Cookery For Brazil--Your Food And You, Ida Bergold

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Many Brazilians are malnourished and show lack of adequate education in nutrition and cookery by their poor food habits. Nutrition education is important means of combating malnutrition. There is a pressing need for more nutrition education in Brazil.

It has been the purpose of this study to present a small book, on the average Brazilian homemaker and layman's level with up-to-date nutrition information, simple principles for food preparation and economic and easy-to-prepare recipes calling for food readily available in Brazil.

In order to present such a book scientific nutrition literature has been reviewed.

First, on the nutrients such as protein, …

A Study Of Cost Accounting At The Dietary Department Of The White Memorial Medical Center, Dorothy Syme

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study was done at the White Memorial Medical Center to develop meaningful financial statements for the dietary department; to provide a simple method of interpretation of each financial statement; and to provide essential cost control data for the dietary department and the administrator. The benefits derived from this study were to assist the dietitian in controlling the dietary department's food costs.

In order to develop meaningful financial statements for the dietary service, cafeteria, and snack shop forms in current use were analyzed and reviewed.

Charges on the Monthly Profit and Loss Statements and Monthly Unit Cost Statements were analyzed …

Tb1: Effect Of Dietary Protein And Fat On The Deposition Of C14 From Rhodospirillum Rubrum In Rats Conditioned To A Low Protein-Fat Free Diet, Frederick H. Radke, Mary E. Norburg, Eileen K. Gabrielson

Technical Bulletins

The object of the experiments described in this publication was to gain information concerning the fate of a radioactive food fed to rats which had been made deficient in essential fatty acids (EFA). These experiments were designed to determine the effect of kinds and proportions of dietary fats and proteins on the distribution of a high protein C 14 -labeled food in rats that have been on a lo w-protein, fat-free diet and show the typical EFA deficiency symptoms.

A Study Of The Use Of The Hydrogen Peroxide-Catalase Treatment Of Milk In The Manufacture Of A Reduced Fat, Cheddar-Like Cheese, Lamar John Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Nutritionists, the medical profession, and the public in general have become increasingly interested in low fat food products. Cheddar cheese, as it is now made, has a high caloric value and therefore may be discriminated against in some diets. The production of a reduced fat cheddar-like cheese would be of importance to the cheese industry by providing a reduced fat, high protein product.

The chemical nature of the casein furnishes the foundation for the body and texture in cheese. The body and texture of typical cheddar cheese is influenced principally by its fat and moisture content.

The use of hydrogen …

An Evaluation Of The Performance Of A Beef Taste Panel, Minnie Ruth Chambers

Masters Theses

(From the Introduction): Abbreviated

It is desirable that an individual whose sensory judgment is used in evaluating the quality of foods possess the ability to discriminate and the ability to duplicate his judgments. The present study was conducted primarily for the purpose of evaluating the performance of members of a beef taste panel in the Food Research Laboratory at the University of Tennessee with respect to these competencies. These judges had had considerable experience in scoring beef.

Cobalt : Its Use To Control Wasting Disease, Laurence C. Snook

Urea For Sheep And Cattle On Dry Feed, Laurence C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Urea can be a valuable supplement for ruminants which have to depend on dry feed low in protein.

It is not a substitute for good quality conserved fodder.

Urea is extremely poisonous if eaten in excess and great care must be taken when feeding it to stock.

There are a variety of ways in which urea can be fed and these are outlined in this article.

The Department of Agriculture's Animal Nutrition Laboratory is now carrying out trials to determine the most convenient and safest method.

Urea is most effective as a fertiliser; when used in this way it results …

Minerals For Livestock : Shotgun Licks : A Waste Of Money, Laurence C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Think carefully before buying proprietary "shotgun" licks, warns Animal Nutrition Officer Dr. L C. Snook in this article.

Many of these licks contain a variety of minerals not needed by stock in Western Australia, and misleading claims are sometimes made as to their value.

Dr. Snook concludes that only three minerals are needed in this State, and gives a recipe for a cheap all-purpose lick containing them.

Weaner Feeding Practices Need Review, W L. Mcgarry, R. J. Lightfoot

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Many fanners feed large amounts of grain to their weaners over summer and autumn, in the belief that this is necessary for high lifetime production.

The economics of this are open to doubt; in fact, the results of a recent experiment at Wongan Hills Research Station suggested that weaner feeding practices need review.
