Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of temperature on feeding and growth characteristics of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus fed a formulated feed
TL;DR: Physiological processes associated with feed intake, absorption, organismal growth, and nutrient allocations vary with temperature, but allow the sea urchins to maintain growth and gonad production at a variety of temperatures, suggesting that temperatures near the upper limits do not promote efficient use of resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in intra-abdominal fat in early postmenopausal women: effects of hormone use.
TL;DR: Whether HRT attenuated the expected age‐related increase in IAF was determined and the independent effects of HRT and fat distribution on changes in disease risk factors were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The finding of the significant decrease in vitamin A associated with AF-ALB suggests that aflatoxin exposure significantly compromises the micronutrient status of people who are already facing overwhelming health problems, including HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary restraint and disinhibition do not affect accuracy of 24-hour recall in a multiethnic population.
TL;DR: Dietetics professionals should consider dietary restraint a possible reason for a lower than expected estimate of energy intake when using 24-hour recalls, and dietary restraint did not affect accuracy of recall of intake of energy, fat, carbohydrate, or protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
An intervention to reduce vaginal douching among adolescent and young adult women: a randomized, controlled trial.
TL;DR: Stage-matched interventions can reduce douching among adolescent and young adult women, and the difference between the intervention and comparison group was statistically significant at 12 months.
