Intake, excretion, and retention of calcium and phosphorus were determined for 30 infants by a metabolic balance study in the home. In addition, the average accumulation of calcium during the first year was computed, and a simple model of calcium metabolism was developed from these values and published tracer data. The corrected average daily intake was 0.50 gm calcium and 0.46 gm phosphorus. These values are appreciably lower than recommended intakes based on cows' milk, mainly because the premodified-milk formulas and infant foods in the infants' diets contained less calcium and phosphorus than cows' milk. Both items are commonly used in the United States and may result in calcium and phosphorus intakes below recommended levels for many infants; human milk provides even lesser amounts of these two minerals. The respective corrected average daily fecal excretions of calcium and phosphorus were 0.29 and 0.16 gm, and urinary excretions were 0.031 and 0.18 gm. The amounts excreted in feces were related linearly to the intake. Phosphorus in urine was also correlated linearly with intake, but calcium was not. Corrected average daily retention of calcium and phosphorus was 0.16 and 0.10 gm, respectively. Calcium and phosphorus retention increased slightly with intake; for example, changing the daily calcium intake from 0.40 to 0.80 gm is predicted to increase daily retention from 0.14 to 0.21 gm. Percent retention, however, decreased with increasing intake. Calcium and phosphorus retention did not change between the third and tenth month of life. The measured values were 7% higher for calcium and 8% higher for phosphorus than estimated by Fomon for boys in their first year. 24 Accumulated calcium increased almost linearly with age. Based on the commonly cited calcium content at birth of 28 gm and observed accumulation of 43 gm between the first and tenth months, the calcium content at age 1 year was estimated to be 83 gm. Leitch and Aitken13 estimated 82 to 85 gm at this age. Relative to body weight, based on a value of 8.2 gm per kilogram at birth, the computed calcium content reached a minimum of 6.5 gm per kilogram in the third month and then increased to 8.0 gm per kilogram at the end of the tenth month. A calcium model was developed for the average age and weight of the infants in the study–164 days and 7.4 kg, respectively. The two compartments consisted of 47 gm calcium in non-exchangeable bone and 3.3 gm in the exchangeable pool (extracellular fluid, soft tissue, and bone surfaces). The half lives for replacing a single dose of calcium tracer were computed to be 2.5 and 600 days. Transfer fractions from gastrointestinal tract to blood (f1) and from blood to bone (f2') were estimated to be 0.5 and 0.8, respectively.

Gout or Gouty Arthritis is a degenerative disease. Gouty arthritis is a clinical syndrome that is caused by deposition of purine crystals in the tissues, due to levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) in the extracellular fluid that passes through saturation. The etiology of gout arthritis included age, sex, history of medication, obesity, consumption of purine and alcohol. Aging is an important risk factor for men and women. This study uses an analytical-descriptive approach with cross-sectional design. This study was conducted to obtain a relationship between nutritional status and uric acid levels in the community in the area of ​​Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, Ngawi. This research was conducted in Majasem Village, Kendal District, Ngawi Regency, starting from 7 June - 31 August 2018. The results showed that there was a relationship between nutritional status and uric acid levels in the community in the area of ​​Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, Ngawi (p=0,008). Suggestions for further research are bivariate analysis based on gender, knowledge and attitude to response to diet so that other factors that influence can be seen clearly

ABSTRACT Biochemical and histological changes in the aortic wall of rabbits were demonstrated following injection of epinephrine and l-thyroxine during 2 weeks. The widespread gross and microscopic changes were accompanied by an increase in hexosamine content and uptake of 35S labeled sodium sulphate, and an increased calcium content, whereas the collagen content, assessed by determination of hydroxyproline, was reduced. Comparison with the effect of epinephrine injections alone showed that thyroxine intensified the damaging effect of epinephrine on the vessel wall and induced more pronounced mucopolysaccharide changes in the aortic wall, presumably acting as a link in the healing processes.

Background:Moringa (Moringaoleifera Lam.) Is a plant of high nutritional value, grows scattered in the tropics and sub-tropics, but utilization is still low. Each section has its benefits Moringa one part is the Moringa leaves contain a high calcium. In 100 grams of material, fresh Moringa leaves contain as much as 440 mg of calcium in the form of flour whereas if it contains as much as 2,003 mg of calcium. One of its use in the manufacture of flakes added. Objective: Know the difference physical harateristi, organoleptic characteristic and calcium levels in flakes variations addition of Moringa leaf powder. Methods: The study is a randomized experimental design with simple, includes four kinds of treatments, two replications with two experimental units. Observations of physical characteristic were analyzed by descriptive, the organoleptic characteristic of data analysis using statistical test Kruskal-Wallis continued Mann-Whitney and methods of test calcium content using permanganometri then the data were analyzed descriptive. Results: The physical characteristics of flakes greenish-yellow, slightly fragrant aroma typical of flakes, rather unpleasant taste typical of Moringa leaves and a slightly crunchy texture. Organoleptic characteristics the color of flakes with moringa leaf powder 5%, the aroma of the flakes without addition moringa leaf powder, the flavour of flakes with additions moringa leaf powder 5% and the texture of flakes with additions moringa leaf powder 7,5% most prefered panelist and high levels calcium of flakes with additions 10% moringa leaf powder. Conclusion: There is a difference variations addition of moringa leaf powder on physical, organoleptic characteristic (color) and the level of calcium flakes.Flakes with the addition of 5% moringa leaf powder is the most prefered panelist.   Keywords:Moringa Leaf Flour, Flakes, Physical characteristic, organoleptic, Calcium


Total twenty different processed meat plant producing emulsion type sausage were histologically and chemically examined for detection of adulteration with unauthorized tissues. Results revealed that samples were adulterated with different types of animal tissues included; hyaline cartilage, tendon, spongy bone, peripheral nerve trunk, basophilic matrix, lymphatic tissue, fascia, fibrocartilage and vascular tissue. Moreover, these samples were adulterated Also, adulterated with plant tissue included; plant stem, leaves and root. Chemical analysis showed a significant difference in their chemical composition (moisture, fat, protein, ash and calcium) content. Moisture and fat content varied around the permissible limit of E.S.S. while low protein, high ash and calcium content was detected in the examined samples. Therefore, Histological and chemical examinations can be used as reliable methods to detect adultration using unauthorized addition of both animal and plant tissues in processed meat product samples which revealed a high level of falsification.
