The hydrozoan species Nemalecium lighti (Hargitt, 1924) is widely distributed in tropical marine waters around the world. Here we report the complete linear mitochondrial genome of N. lighti from Sint Eustatius (Lesser Antilles). The mitochondrial genome with a length of 14,320 bp encodes for 13 protein-coding …

The aging process is often accompanied by increase in body weight. Older adults with overweight or obesity might have an overconsumption in energy that is accompanied by inadequate intake of protein, vitamin D, and calcium. It is unclear if intake of protein and vitamin D and calcium is sufficient in …

The sustainable provision of enough nutritious food for a growing world population is pushing the food system towards finding new approaches to agriculture (Ockenden, et al., 2017). While the demand of animal products is rising (Armanda, Guinée, & Tukker, 2019), the negative effect on the climate, soil, …

Climate change is becoming an increasingly important topic and issue worldwide. To change what is currently happening, adjustments within society need to be made. Plant-based diet have a smaller ecological footprint compared to other diets, such as a meat-based diet. In addition, research shows that …

The number of people that live on the earth continues to grow. However, the amount of food that traditional farming can provide is limited. On top of that livestock farming is not a sustainable food source and the environment suffers a great deal. Therefore, it is essential to look for alternative sources …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Sufficient protein intake is of great importance in hemodialysis (HD) patients, especially for maintaining muscle mass. Daily protein needs are generally estimated using bodyweight (BW), in which individual differences in body composition are not accounted for. As body protein mass …

SMPD4 is a neutral sphingomyelinase that plays an important role in sphingolipid metabolism. Sphingolipids are a family of lipid molecules abundantly present in the brain where they play an important role in the brain development and function due to their essential cellular role as structural components …

Background:  A protein intake of 30‐40 g per meal is suggested to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis in older adults and could therefore contribute to the prevention of sarcopenia. Protein intake at breakfast and lunch is often low and offers a great opportunity to improve daily protein intake. …

Digitally supported dietary counselling may be helpful in increasing the protein intake in combined exercise and nutritional interventions in community-dwelling older adults. To study the effect of this approach, 212 older adults (72.2 ± 6.3 years) were randomised in three groups: control, exercise, …

COTOPAXI is an ANDEAN lupin which has obtained Plant Breeder Rights by Vandinter Semo BV, the Netherlands. COTOPAXI is rich in protein (45%) and oils (20%). COTOPAXI will positively contribute to the plant-based protein transition in hte Netherlands and Europe.
