TL;DR: A technique is described for feeding young sheep for long periods entirely by the infusion of volatile fatty acids into the rumen and protein and other essential nutrients into the abomasum when the energy infused was twice the estimated requirement for maintenance, growth rate and nitrogen retention were essentially the same as in normally-fed sheep.

TL;DR: The steady-state level of DNA oxidation is ultimately controlled by the process of DNA repair; the extent to which this varies between individuals has yet to be established.
Abstract: Estimates of background levels of oxidative base damage in human white blood cells vary enormously, from 300 down to 0.4 molecules of 8-oxoguanine per 10 6 guanines. An EC-funded Concerted Action, the European Standards Committee on Oxidative DNA Damage, is currently attempting to resolve the discrepancy and to agree a realistic estimate of basal endogenous oxidation. Oxidation of lymphocyte DNA is a useful marker of oxidative stress, and this can be decreased by supplementation with pure antioxidants or with foods rich in antioxidants. The steady-state level of DNA oxidation is ultimately controlled by the process of DNA repair; the extent to which this varies between individuals has yet to be established.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the gastrointestinal microflora contribute significantly to the amino acid requirements of pigs.
Abstract: The synthesis of essential amino acids by the gut microflora of pigs, and their absorption, were assessed from the incorporation of (15)N from dietary (15)NH(4)Cl and of (14)C from dietary (14)C-polyglucose into amino acids in the body tissues of four pigs. Both (15)N and (14)C were incorporated into essential amino acids in body protein. Because pig tissues cannot incorporate (15)N into lysine or (14)C into essential amino acids, the labeling of these amino acids in body protein indicated their microbial origin. The absorption of microbial amino acids was estimated by multiplying the total content of each amino acid in the body by the ratio of the isotopic enrichment of the amino acid in the body to that in microbial protein. Because the ratio of (14)C:(15)N in body lysine was closer to that in the microflora of the ileum than to that of the cecum, absorption was assumed to take place exclusively in the ileum. The estimates of microbial amino acid absorption from (14)C-labeling were as follows (g/d): valine 1.8, isoleucine 0.8, leucine 2.0, phenylalanine 0.3 and lysine 0.9, whereas for lysine, the estimate from (15)N-labeling was 1.3 g/d. We conclude that the gastrointestinal microflora contribute significantly to the amino acid requirements of pigs.

TL;DR: MRI-determined percent body adipose tissue in women is close to, and proportional to, estimates derived by underwater weighing, and close to the value for fat percent produced when the results from five other techniques were averaged.
