De regenworm is in het dierenrijk al een lekkernij van onder andere vogels, egels, vissen. En als het aan een wormenkweker in het Groningse dorp Oostwold ligt, maakt het eiwitrijke diertje in de toekomst ook deel uit van het menselijke dieet, als duurzaam alternatief voor vlees. Toch is de kans klein …

Rationale: Sarcopenia and obesity are prevalent conditions and are both associated with negative health outcomes. ESPEN and EASO reached consensus on the definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity (SO) encompassing indicators fat mass, muscle mass, and muscle function. However, few studies …

Increased protein provision might ameliorate muscle wasting and improve long-term outcomes in critically ill patients. The aim of the PRECISe trial was to assess whether higher enteral protein provision (ie, 2·0 g/kg per day) would improve health-related quality of life and functional outcomes in critically …

Background Increased protein provision might ameliorate muscle wasting and improve long-term outcomes in critically ill patients. The aim of the PRECISe trial was to assess whether higher enteral protein provision (ie, 2·0 g/kg per day) would improve health-related quality of life and functional outcomes …

Protein supplementation has shown to improve muscle mass in older adults. However, its effect may be influenced by supplementation dose, frequency and timing. This systematic review aimed to assess the effect of dose, frequency and timing of protein supplementation on muscle mass in older adults. Five …

Knowledge of the time of deposition is pivotal in forensic investigations. Recent studies show that changes in intrinsic fluorescence over time can be used to estimate the age of body fluids. These changes have been attributed to oxidative modifications caused by protein–lipid interactions. This pilot …

De pruikzwam heeft iets weg van biefstuk, bevat niet veel eiwit, maar doet mogelijk iets voor ons geheugen.

“Circular Sandwich Panels” is a joint research project in collaboration between MNEXT, Beyond Wood, and Fairm. The project focuses on studying mycelium circular sandwich panels, which consist of the facades from Beyond Wood and mycelium foams from Fairm, as well as their application in building insulation. …

Background: Chronic low-grade inflammatory profile (CLIP) is one of the pathways involved in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Currently, there is limited evidence for ameliorating effects of combined lifestyle interventions on CLIP in type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether a 13-week combined lifestyle intervention, …
