TL;DR: Red drum reared in seawater require at least 44% dietary protein (dry weight basis) for maximum growth and FE, and reduced growth rates of fish offered the low protein feeds appear to be due to reduced protein intake and not imbalances in E:P ratios.

TL;DR: In this article, a multistep Ca(2+)-induced cold gelation process was used to obtain beta-lactoglobulin (beta-lg) gels at very low protein concentrations.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to obtain beta-lactoglobulin (beta-lg) gels at very low protein concentrations using a new multistep Ca(2+)-induced cold gelation process. In the conventional cold gelation process, salt free beta-lg solutions were heated at neutral pH, cooled, and cross-linked by adding salts. In our new process, first, long linear beta-lg fibrils were formed at pH 2. Solutions of these fibrils were cooled, and subsequently, the pH was adjusted to 7 or 8. Transmission electron microscopy studies showed that the long linear fibrils formed at pH 2 were stable when the pH was adjusted to 7 or 8. In the final step, the fibrils were cross-linked using CaCl(2). Using rheological measurements, the critical percolation concentration was determined. In the new multistep cold gelation process, the critical percolation concentration was an order of magnitude lower than in the conventional cold gelation method.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the nutritional value of pooled pasteurized human milk for VLBW infants should be reconsidered, especially because of its low protein content, and that energy density of preterm formulas must be questioned in view of elevated fat deposition.

TL;DR: In the analysis of patients who remained in the hospital longer than 10 days, the finding of a low serum protein concentration or a low protein intake was most sensitive, and aLow serum albumin concentration was the most specific.
Abstract: We assessed the nutritional status at the time of hospital admission of 74 patients who were admitted for elective gynecologic or urologic operations. Nutritional assessment included measurement of serum albumin, thyroxine-binding prealbumin, retinol-binding protein, weight-change history, estimate of daily protein and total calorie intake, and a global estimate of nutritional risk. The sensitivity, specificity, false-positive rate, likelihood ratio, and positive predictive value of these nutrition-related variables were analyzed in patients who stayed in the hospital for longer than 10 days and in those patients with recognized complications. In the analysis of patients who remained in the hospital longer than 10 days, the finding of a low serum protein concentration or a low protein intake was most sensitive, and a low serum albumin concentration was the most specific. A receiver-operating-characteristic diagram that depicts the sensitivity and false-positive rates for the single variables and the combinations of variables is probably the most clinically useful summary of our study. Using the information in such a diagram, a clinician might choose variables that are more sensitive to identify hospitalized patients who should receive special nutritional attention in comparison with another clinician who might need fewer false-positive results for a prospective study of nutritional intervention.
