Diet has been promulgated as a cornerstone in tackling these diseases. Understanding the long-term molecular modulatory functions of a diet on key metabolic pathways associated with the pathophysiology of these diseases cannot be overemphasised. Since rice is a staple food for more than half of the world's population and has been linked to some metabolic diseases, we assert that understanding the long-term molecular modulatory effect of rice cultivars on PPARγ and GLUT4 gene products could reduce the burden of these diseases. This would be done by harnessing which property of a rice cultivar alters important metabolic pathways necessary for normal body function. Forty-eight nulliparous rats fed for 90 days with differing rice cultivars were mated with male rats raised on standard pellet. The resulting pups and dams were sacrificed (n = 6). Their adipose tissue, hepatic tissue and muscle tissue were investigated for PPARγ and GLUT4 gene expression regulations. Protein was also extracted from the aforementioned tissues, separated on SDS-PAGE and blotted and probed with PPARγ and GLUT4 primary antibodies, followed by a secondary antibody. Global hepatic DNA methylation due to the interventions were quantified using a DNA methylation kit. Our findings showed that germination status and high amylose composition properties in rice cultivars prevented the downregulation of GLUT4 gene products in standard-chow- and high-fat-diet-fed rats. It also prevented the upregulation of PPAR gene products in the same rats. Alterations in mRNA and protein regulations were inherited by the offspring. Furthermore, germinated rice cultivars with high amylose content demonstrated lower hepatic DNA methylation levels compared with low-amylose white rice. Also, a 50% correlation was observed between mRNA and protein levels of the various interventions employed. In overall, the findings point towards an expected lesser burden of diet-related metabolic diseases if the beneficial properties of a high-amylose content and germination status in a rice cultivar are harnessed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91757,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutrition & intermediary metabolism","volume":"10 ","pages":"Pages 8-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jnim.2017.11.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121813998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this review sought to highlight the risk of aflatoxin contamination in cereals and legumes so as to reconsider their usage in complementary feeding. Factors such as temperature, relative humidity/moisture, soil properties, type and length of storage as well as nutrient composition of the food produce greatly influence fungal growth and aflatoxin production in cereals and legumes. Consumption of such contaminated food ingredients could expose many infants and young children to poor growth and development. Nonetheless, the toxin, though seemingly inevitable, can be minimized if not curbed completely through awareness creation/education, good agricultural practices and proper storage practices. Moreover, consumption of root and tuber crops such as sweetpotato, especially the orange-fleshed sweetpotato, can be a sustainable approach to reduce aflatoxin ingestion in children. Thus, to control the adverse effects of aflatoxin in infants and young children, cereal-legume blends could be substituted with root and tuber-based blends in complementary feeding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91757,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutrition & intermediary metabolism","volume":"10 ","pages":"Pages 1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jnim.2017.09.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114786326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
