A Locally-Produced Plant-Based Supplement Swathi Savi (SAVI) Enrichment Improves Body Growth, Bone Development, and Immune Functions in Protein Malnourished Mice: Implications for Strategies to Combat Child Malnutrition.
Child malnutrition is a critical global challenge. India alone is home to nearly 46 million stunted children, a third of the world's total. Supplementing locally-produced foods has been acknowledged as a sustainable strategy for combating child malnutrition. We used an established protein malnutrition (PM) model in young mice to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the SAVI-enriched diet as a food supplement to combat child malnutrition in India. Results indicate that feeding the SAVI-enriched diet improves body weight, lean muscle mass, bone, and immune health in PM young mice. Based on the results of our study in mice, we suggest future human trials to examine the supplement's potential benefits for humans.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
