Summary: The study showed that alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation can maintain rice yield while impacting the nutritional traits of milled rice, such as increasing amino acids and phenolic acids, and decreasing lipids and alkaloids. This research provides evidence for the optimization of irrigation to enhance rice nutritional quality.

Summary: This study compared the quality of six commercially available sweet salad dressings from the Chinese market in terms of physical properties, proximate composition, amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals. The findings showed that these salad dressings had specific ranges of water activity, moisture content, and fat content, and were rich in essential amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals. This research provides important nutritional information on common salad dressings, helping consumers make informed choices and encouraging moderate consumption of pre-packaged sauces.

Summary: This study evaluated the digestibility and performance of chicken broilers fed with different levels of metabolizable energy (ME) with and without adjustments of digestible lysine, calcium, and available phosphorus. The results showed that increasing ME levels and adjusting dietary nutrients improved the digestibility and performance of the broilers.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of shifting the spawning season on the nutritional status of Atlantic salmon and its offspring. The results indicate that seasonal changes significantly affect embryonic growth and the nutrient levels in the eggs. These findings highlight the importance of environmental alterations in broodstock husbandry for the next generation's nutrient status.

Summary: Recent research shows that high-molecular weight disinfection byproduct (DBP) fractions contribute more to cytotoxicity than the one-to two-carbon DBPs currently of concern. Peptides and lipids are major DBP precursors in water supplies. This study focuses on the analysis of chlorine byproducts of tyrosine and oleic acid to characterize high-molecular weight DBPs. The presence of these DBPs in drinking water and their cytotoxicity levels are investigated.

Summary: Cantaloupe's nutritional components contribute to overall health and protection against chronic diseases. This study investigated the influence of different concentrations of 1-naphthalene acetic acid (1-NAA) on the nutritional components of cantaloupe. The results showed that 100 ppm concentration improved various nutritional components.

Summary: Arginine and methionine can have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in animals, but their impact on adipose tissue function in dairy cows is still unknown. This study investigates the acute effects of arginine supplementation alone or combined with methionine on protein abundance in adipose tissue explants from lactating Holstein cows challenged with hydrogen peroxide.

Summary: This study provides a synthesis of research on the interactions between synthetic amino acid supplementation and immune response to infectious diseases in livestock, focusing mainly on poultry and the beneficial effects of methionine, threonine, and arginine supplementation. The most described immune mechanisms associated with synthetic amino acids supplementation were directed against intracellular pathogens, highlighting the potential for improved management of infectious diseases in livestock through nutritional manipulation.

Summary: The catabolic phenotype measured by increased urea-to-creatinine ratio is associated with increased risk of death during prolonged ICU stay. Glutamine supplementation increases the urea-to-creatinine ratio and therefore increases the risk of death.

Summary: Exploring the spatial distribution alterations of metabolites during lentil germination is crucial for understanding its nutritional value, physiological function, and metabolic pathway. This study established an effective MALDI-MSI method to visualize the changes in spatial localization of 53 metabolites in lentils during germination. The results showed specific distribution patterns of different metabolites, with certain lipids mainly located in the cotyledons and others spreading throughout the lentil tissue during early germination. Heat map analysis demonstrated the correlation between lipid content changes and germination time, supporting the potential use of germinated lentils as nutraceutical or functional food.
