Introduction: Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) remains a major cause of child mortality worldwide. Understanding the determinants of recovery time in children with SAM is pivotal for reducing associated mortality and morb...

Micronutrients serve as critical metabolic sensors and epigenetic regulators that orchestrate cytokine production through multiple overlapping signalling cascades, transcriptional networks, and cellular metabolic states....

O plantio de espécies florestais nativas é uma atividade que além de repor os recursos florestais também pode atenuar os impactos ambientais decorrentes do extrativismo. Entretanto, seu sucesso depende, entre outros ...

Aim: Redox-oxidative dysregulation is implicated in the aetiology of several diseases, including schizophrenia, with a possible influence on clinical symptoms. This study investigated the influence of redox, lipid peroxi...

Soil fertility is a critical factor influencing rice productivity, and understanding nutrient interactions is essential for effective management in agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the fertility status and nutri...

IntroductionMicronutrient fertilisation is a promising strategy for agronomic biofortification of tomatoes. Yet, its effects on yield formation and fruit quality remain insufficiently clarified, particularly when multipl...

Abstract Frequent consumption of poor-quality diets “junk food” leads to the accumulation of sugar-derived advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), promoting inflammation and oxidative stress (i.e., diminished endogen...

Abstract Background The foetus depends on maternal vitamin D status during pregnancy, and the strong correlation between maternal and newborn vitamin D status is well established. However, the long-term tracking of vitam...

Micronutrient undernutrition during critical periods of growth has become an important health issue in developing and developed countries, particularly among pregnant women and children having an imbalanced diet. Zinc is...

Abstract Background Socio-economic status is a known predictor of childhood obesity. Improvements to school meals have been promoted as a method of combating rising childhood obesity rates, especially in low-income popul...

ABSTRACT Due the tolerance in soil degraded, Eucalyptus is widely used in reforestation area. This study aims to evaluate the fungi that use Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden as substrate in reforestation area in sout...

This study investigated whether fertilization with urea or ammonium sulfate could mitigate the growth limitations of sorghum imposed by alkaline-saline-sodic (ASS) soils. We hypothesized that the application of these nit...

Background: Maternal nutritional status before and during pregnancy is an important contributor to pregnancy outcomes and early child health. The aim of this study was to describe the preconceptional nutritional status a...

ABSTRACT The expansion of the agricultural frontier into different geological environments in the west of the state of Pará, northern Brazil, makes it necessary to know the influence of the parent material on local soil...

Abstract Background Preeclampsia is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, often influenced by maternal nutrition. Calcium and zinc are essential micronutrients implicated in the prevention of preeclamp...

Objectives To estimate the contribution of ultraprocessed foods (UPF) to total energy intake and to macronutrient and micronutrient intakes among very old people aged 85 years in the Newcastle 85+ Study.Design Cross-sect...

This study aimed to analyze the criteria used by nutritionists in menu planning for daycare centers and preschools in the municipal education network of Rio Grande do Sul. Thirty-eight municipalities participated, with 8...

Abstract Acidic soils influenced by industrial activities often constrain plant growth due to high exchangeable acidity, low nutrient availability, and poor physical structure. This study examined the short-term, dose-de...

Abstract Background Nutritional status and lifestyle during the preconception phase, the months and years before conception, may have substantial impact on the health of the next generation. Diet quality during these yea...

Fine‑tuning dietary folate and allied micronutrients may curb early embryo loss and boost litter success in domestic rabbits. This review asked which nutrient cocktails and doses actually work. Web of Science, Scopus, ...

Objetivou-se neste estudo determinar as frações de carboidratos e de compostos nitrogenados de genótipos de capim-elefante, em um único corte aos 56 dias de idade, na primavera. Avaliaram-se 12 genótipos de capim-el...

This study analyzed the genetic diversity in Coffea canephora genotypes by univariate and multivariate statistical analysis, based on concentrations of macro- and micronutrients in coffee leaves in the stages of pre-flow...

The multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is a transporter that belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. In the intestine, it is localized to the apical membrane of the enterocyte and plays...

ABSTRACT Amazonian reforestation programs emphasize the use of species native to the region. However, reforestation using native species requires the production of high-quality seedlings. The present study aimed to evalu...
