Yap JOYCE ; Cheng CARALINE ; L.yenng DAVID

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica.2004;26(3):161-166.

Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remain prevalent nutritional problems in many parts of the world. Among infants and young children, IDA has adverse effects on growth and development. Mental deficits exhibited in infancy can be long lasting. Efforts are being made to combat these problems. However, in the past decade little success was made. Currently there is interest in developing home fortificants that are versatile, inexpensive, efficacious and effective. One of these is the Sprinkles, which contain iron fumarate coated with a soy lipid and other micronutrients. The Sprinkles is packaged in small sachets and intended to be added to ready-to-eat home-prepared complementary foods once a day. An acceptance test was conducted in 5 cities in China. The Sprinkles was provided for the acceptance by infants aged 6-24 months and children of 2-5 years in 4 successive weeks. Their mothers were interviewed 4 times during the period of the study. The results showed that both the mothers, the infants and young children accepted the foods with added Sprinkles well.

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica.1956;0(01):-.

Objective: To investigate if angiotensin converting enzyme inhilitory(ACEI) peptides would be produced from SPI digested by a batch digestion system using enzymes similar to digestive enzymes in humans.Method: Simulate the conditions of human gastrointestinal digestion in a model digestion system in vitro and produce soy peptides from SPI digested using pepsin and pancreatin.In addition to monitoring ACEI activity in the total soy protein digest,the possibility of generating soy peptide fractions with more potent activity than the unfractionated digest was investigated by measuring activity of fractions obtained after ultrafitration,anion exchange,and RP-HPLC.Results: The generation of ACEI activity in SPI was determined after sequential digestion with pepsin and pancreatin.The inhibitory activity was highest within the first 20 min at pepsin digestion and decreased upon subsequent digestion with pancreatin.An IC50 value of 0.28?0.06 mg/ml was determined after 180 min of digestion,while no ACEI activity was measured for the undigested SPI at 0.73 mg/ml.Chromatographic fractionation of the SPI digest resulted in IC50 values of active fractions ranging from 0.13?0.03 to 0.93?0.08 mg/ml.Conclusion: Many different peptides with ACEI activities were produced after pepsin-pancreatin digestion of SPI in vitro and lead to the speculation that physiological gastrointestinal digestion could also yield ACE inhibitory peptides from SPI.

Objective: To study the effects of octylpheno(lOP)and genistein(GEN)on the expressions of estrogen receptors(ER),amplified in breast cancer 1(AIB1) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in rat breast cancer.Method:Female SD rats were randomly divided into control,model,GEN treated,OP treated,GEN and OP combined treated groups.RT-PCR and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expressions of AIB1,ER,PCNA on normal mammary gland and mammary cancer.Results: Compared with control mammary gland,AIB1 mRNA,ER mRNA,PCNA and ER expressions were up-regulated in mammary cancer.Compared with mammary cancer in model group,the level of AIB1mRNA,ER mRNA and ER expressions were significantly decreased in GEN treated group,while they were significantly increased in OP treated group and PCNA expression was significantly increased too.Compared with OP treated group,the level of AIB1mRNA,ER mRNA,ER and PCNA expressions were partly decreased in GEN and OP combined treated group.Conclusion: Octylphenol can up-regulate the levels of AIB1,ER and PCNA expressions in mammary cancer and may increase the incidence of 7,12-dinmethylbenz[a]anthracene(DMBA)-induced mammary cancer.Genistin or genistein combined with octylphenol can downregulate the levels of AIB1,ER and PCNA expressions in mammary cancer,and inhibit theiincidences.

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica.1956;0(01):-.

Objective:To study the effects of glucosamine(GlcNH2) on immune function in mice.Method:The effects of GlcNH2 on murine proliferation of splenocytes were carried out in vitro.After feeding mice by GlcNH2,the phagocytotic functions of mononuclear macrophage,murine delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH) caused by sheep red blood cells(SRBC),the ability of antibody production(tested by HC50),and the index of immune organs(thymus and spleen) were deteimined in vivo.Results:GlcNH2 could promote the proliferation of splenocytes,phagocytotic functions of mononuclear macrophage,DTH,the ability of antibody production and the index of immune organs.Conclusion:Glucosamine can enhance immune function in mice such as cellular immunity,humoral immunity and non-specific immunity.

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica.1956;0(01):-.

Objective:To study the antioxidant activity and anticancer activity of tea polysaccharide.Methods:Tea polysaccharide was extracted and purified by gel permeation chromatography from coarse old green tea leaves obtained from Wuyuan county of Jiangxi province in China.The antioxidant activity of the tea polysaccharide was evaluated by determining the change in absorbancy after heat-induced oxidation in a linoleic acid system with ?-carotene,the decoloration of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and the elimination of superoxide generated from autoxidation of pyrogallol.On the other hand,the anticancer activities of tea polysaccharide at different concentrations were evaluated by MTT assay using two colon cancer cell lines(HCT-15,Caco-2).Results:Tea polysaccharide possessed distinctive antioxidative activity.The anti-proliferation capabilities of the tea polysaccharide against the tested human colon cancer cell lines were different under the designed experiment conditions.The tea polysaccharide with high purity exhibited good anti-proliferation activity against HCT-15 at concentration of 7.0?mol/L.Conclusion : Tea polysaccharide has remarkable antioxidative and anticancer bioactivities..

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica.1956;0(01):-.

Objective: To explore the antagonism of selenium enriched Spirulina platensis(Se-SP) to hepatocirrhosis by enhancement of cell proliferation and selenoenzyme activity.Method: The male SD rat hepatocirrhosis model was induced by thioacetamide(TAA),and Se-SP was supplemented.Hepatic histological analysis was performed and relative content of collagen(RCC %) was estimated using IBAS 2000 system after Masson’s staining.Glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),thioredoxin reductases(TR) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in hepatocyte as well as hyaluronic acid(HA) in serum were determined.Expression index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in hepatocytes was detected by immu-nohistochemistry,and the level of synthesis of DNA in regenerative hepatocytes was analyzed by radio-immunity for incorporation of 3H-TDR.Results: Hepatocirrhosis was induced by TAA at 9w of the expeiment,and the obvious antagonism of Se-SP to hepatocirrhosis was obsewed after Se-SP supplementa-tion.12.5% rats of Se-Sp group were completely recovered at 15w of the experiment(6w after withdrawal of TAA).GSH-Px and TR activity in hepatocytes as well as PCNA and 3H-TDR incorporation rate in hepatocytes were obviously enhanced(P
