According to the FAO, It is man’s most important single source of high-quality protein and dietary omega-three fatty acids. Objective: The study consisted of the chemical characterization of the oil extracted from Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis being fish species from the Cameroonian coast. Material and methods: The fish were collected at the fishing port of Douala, transported to the laboratory, washed with distilled water and filleted. Oil was extracted from the fillets using dichloromethane and methanol. The different indexes of the oil were determined using standard methods and the fatty acid profile by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Results: Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis are oily fish. The oil was of good quality various amounts of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Palmitic acid was the major SFA with 28.56% and 30.54% for Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis respectively. Palmitoleic acid and 15octadenoic were the major MUFAs in Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis, respectively. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) the main omega 3 PUFAs. In both species DHA was the predominant fatty acid among PUFAs. Arachidonic acid and linoleic acid were the major omega 6 PUFAs in Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis. Conclusion: These results show that Ilisha africana and Sardinella maderensis are a good source of EPA and DHA and the nutritional quality of lipids may beneficit for human health.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73033720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous saturated fatty acid derivative that down-regulates multiple proinflammatory and nociceptive pathways and known to inhibit mast and glial cell activity. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of palmitoylethanolamide (LipiSperse®), for alleviating joint pain and improving quality of life in adults. A randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study on adults reporting joint pain. 74 participants that received either LipiSperse® (n=35) or a placebo (n=39) daily for 2 weeks completed this study. The primary outcome was a self-assessed reduction in pain as assessed by a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, completed in the morning and evening. VAS pain scores reduced over the 2 weeks of treatment in both groups. Morning VAS scores were significantly reduced from baseline in the LipiSperse® and placebo groups from day 3 and 4 respectively. VAS scores were significantly lower in the LipiSperse® group compared to the placebo group on day 14 (P<0.05). Evening VAS scores were significantly reduced from baseline in both the LipiSperse® and placebo groups from day 3. Total mood scores for both groups were similar at baseline but was significantly different at the end of the study, with the PEA group decreasing and the placebo group increasing. This study demonstrates that LipiSperse® may be a safe and effective option for reducing joint pain. Further studies should investigate whether long-term supplementation can show further improvements in pain scores.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":"9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72878526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally, just about semi of all children are doesn’t received recommended meal frequency (MMF). Furthermore, only twenty-nine percent of child getting diversified diet in world wide. However, sociodemographic factors associated with recommended meal frequency and minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among infants and children aged between 6 and 23 months existing in study district is unknown. Objectives: this study was aimed to identify sociodemographic factors towards minimum meal frequency and dietary diversity (DD) among infants and children aged between 6 and 23 months in Gimbichu woreda East Shoa zone Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 782 mothers/caregivers paired with infants and children aged 6 to 23 month with a response rate of 97.1%. Data was collected from March 12 to April 08, 2019. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis were applied for both MDD and MMF to identify socio-demographic factor associated with them. Results: Mothers’ who have attended secondary and above education [AOR=2.52, 95%CI (1.65, 8.34)], mothers’ who have attended primary education [AOR=1.53, 95%CI (1.26, 4.21)], fathers who have attended secondary and above education [AOR=2.39, 95% CI (1.22, 3.75), family size from 1-3 children [AOR=3.07, 95% CI: (1.42, 6.64)], 4-6 number of children [AOR=2.93, 95%CI (1.5, 5.46)], mothers’ belonged to richest [AOR=2.67, 95%CI (1.74, 3.79)] and richer wealth quintiles [AOR=1.87, 95%CI (1.33, 3.47) was positively associated with MDD. Whereas, mothers’ who had age category of 35-49 years [AOR=1.54, 95%CI (1. 32, 3.29)], fathers who have attended secondary and above education [AOR=2.9, 95% CI (1.06, 5.22), mothers whose wealth status were richest level [AOR=1.47, 95%CI (1.13, 3.185)], and mothers were married and living with their husbands [AOR=4.13, (95%CI; (1.31, 13.07)] was positively associated with MMF. Conclusion: Unmet diversified diet was attributable to unable to read and write, family size of > 7, and household belonged to poorest one. MMF practice was attributable to mothers’ who had age category of 35-49, fathers who have attended secondary and above education, and richest level household. Encouraging paternal education and promoting household wealth status on infant and child feeding are vigorously recommended to alleviate the problem.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76960031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that took place from May 1 to July 31, 2017. Malnourished children aged 06 months to 05 years old who were hospitalized or received outpatient care during the study period were included. An exhaustive sampling of all children meeting the eligibility criteria during the study period was conducted. Ninety-four malnourished children were included in the study. Their mean age was 18.47 months. The hospital prevalence of hepatic steatosis was 60.6%. Hepatic steatosis was diffuse and homogeneous without focal lesions. Clinically, it was significantly associated with hepatomegaly, underweight and severe chronic malnutrition. A statistically significant association was also observed between, respectively, non-supplementation with iron/folic acid, recent non-adherence to EPI vaccines and hepatic steatosis. Biologically, there was a statistically significant association between hepatic steatosis and transaminases, gamma GT, triglycerides, albuminemia. Hepatic steatosis is common in malnourished children. There is a clinico-biological correlation. Liver ultrasound should be systematic in cases of malnutrition.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89260009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
