Dietary nitrite and nitrate: From menace to marvel here are now indisputable health benefits of nitrite when administered in a clinical setting for specific diseases. Most of the Tpublished reports identify the production of nitric oxide (NO) as the mechanism of action for nitrite. Basic science as well as clinical studies demonstrates nitrite and/or nitrate can restore NO homeostasis as an endothelium independent source of NO that may be a redundant system for endogenous NO production. Nitrate must first be reduced to nitrite by oral commensal bacteria and then nitrite further reduced to NO along the physiological oxygen gradient. Despite decades of rigorous research on its safety and efficacy as a curing agent, sodium nitrite and nitrate are still regarded by many as a toxic undesirable food additive. However, research within the biomedical science community has revealed enormous therapeutic benefits of nitrite and nitrate that are currently being developed as novel therapies for conditions associated with nitric oxide insufficiency. This presentation will highlight the fundamental biochemistry of nitrite and nitrate in human physiology and provide evidence that nitrite and nitrate be considered essential nutrients. Foods or diets enriched with nitrite can have profound positive health benefits.
Biography Nathan S Bryan is an international expert on nitrate, nitrite and nitric oxide. He has made many seminal discoveries in the field of nitric oxide. These discoveries and findings have unveiled many beneficial effects of nitrite in the treatment and prevention of human disease and may provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic strategies in diseases associated with NO insufficiency and new guidelines for optimal health. He has published a number of highly cited papers and authored or edited 5 books. He is also an inventor on multiple issued patents.

Inclusion of molasses in a high fat, high sugar diet prevents the development of obesity in C57BL6/J mice Statement of the Problem: One of the contributing factors for the current epidemic of obesity is the increased consumption of added sugar in the diet. Sugarcane accounts for 80% of the sugar production. Molasses, a byproduct of sugar production from sugarcane, is known rich in many bioactive compounds including flavonoids and phenylpropanoids. Here we show that inclusion of molasses in a high fat, high sugar diet protects mice from developing obesity. Methods: Thirty-six 6-wk old male mice were assigned to one of 3 groups. Each group was fed either a high fat, high sugar diet (HFC), a HFC diet containing 10% molasses replacing 5% sugar and 5% cellulose (Mol-Sugar) or a HFC diet containing 10% molasses replacing 5% starch and 5% cellulose (Mol-Starch). Mice were maintained on these diets for 14 weeks and food intake and bodyweights were monitored weekly. At weeks 7 and 14, randomly selected mice were culled and body composition, plasma metabolites and tissue gene expression were measured. Findings: Molasses groups gained significantly less bodyweight and had lower body fat. The effects of molasses on body fat content were greater in the Mol-Sugar group. Reduced body fat in the molasses groups was associated with an up-regulation of SIK2 gene expression and a down-regulation of ATF3 gene expression in adipose tissue. Circulating adiponectin levels were also elevated in the molasses groups. Conclusion & Significance: Sugarcane molasses contain anti-obesity compounds and addition of these compounds to sugar containing food products may help prevent the development of obesity.

Critical role of nutrition and its therapeutic implications in metabolic syndrome eing widely prevalent, metabolic syndrome is magnanimous as it is escalating in developed and developing nations as Bwell. Affecting the younger population, it has significant impact on health economy, quality of life and major hindrance in achieving sustainable development in global public health and millennium development goals-V by 2035. Role of nutrition in metabolic syndrome is explicable; however it’s not just over nutrition even under nutrition contributes by the theory of nutritional programming of low birth weight babies acquiring catch up growth of adiposity between 2 and 12 years of age and hence augmenting the risk of metabolic dysfunction in future. Primordial prevention of metabolic syndrome should include prevention on over nutrition as well as under nutrition from the fetal life to protect our next generation. From therapeutics point of view role of vitamin D, E and calcium supplementation is controversial to fetch any evidence their role in metabolic syndrome. Vitamin E, co enzyme Q10 is useful to treat statin induced myalgia which is the key drug used in this condition. Selenium, zinc and iron found to have positive association in metabolic syndrome in several studies. Future is optimistic and lots to ponder for young minds in this thrust area. Biotin, magnesium and certain bio-enhancers of metabolism improves insulin sensitivity which is a central component of metabolic syndrome. Dietary approach to stop hypertension- DASH regimen should be followed to reduce blood pressure. Paleolithic diet gaining its momentum to tackle abdominal syndrome and more approaches are in pipeline to battle against this pandemic.

Teaching nutrition using civic engagement learning model at an HBCU/HSI college essica’s project is a non-profit organization affiliated with the with St. Philip’s College in San Antonio, Texas. It is a civic Jengagement project that brings faculty, staff and students together impact change on various topics including education into diseases associated with diet, teenage and unplanned pregnancy, the operation of community gardens and hunger banquets. The author will present, high impact practices in teaching nutrition in disproportionately low-in minority institutions using civic engagement. How to develop research interest in science students on the topic of nutrition, and getting students involved in demystifying concepts of nutrition and health. Because of their low-income status, many east side citizens resigned on healthy lifestyle as being associated with the rich and affluent. A notion we are intent to erase by the special collaborative program engineered by our team at St. Philip’s College include, encouraging healthy eating habits through lunch and learn workshops at the garden or various nutrition programs hosted by the churches, educating the community on foods and related diseases through active research by students and poster presentation, encouraging a culture of health in targeted population and increasing routine medical check-ups for adult and teenagers by hosting wellness week on campus with free medical check-up. This training presentation will give the participant an opportunity to design a community-based project. Participant Outcomes include designing a community based project, integrating learning assessment into civic engagement and critical reflection on the progress of project.

Ready to use therapeutic supplementation in management of malnourished HIV-infected children in Tanzania Introduction: Ready to use therapeutic food (RUTF) has been widely used as first line treatment for severe malnutrition in children infected with HIV. Limited evidence is available on its effectiveness when used in large public settings, with malnutrition cases due to various underlying causes. Methods: In a HIV treatment program in Tanzania, a total of 1051 HIV-infected children with severe acute malnutrition (<3 BMI/WHZ), 86 exposed to RUTF (Plumpy'Nut, Nutriset) and 965 unexposed were selected for this study. The unexposed were treated according to the standard of care at that time which included Nutritional Assessment and Counseling (NAC) . The primary outcome was mean change in weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ)/body mass index score (BMIZ). Secondary outcomes included changes in immune suppression and hemoglobin levels (HG). Linear regression models were used to assess the 12- week changes in WHZ/BMIZ, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and HG levels and a log-binomial model was fit to assess the statistical significance of any difference at 12 weeks for immunosuppression. Results: At 12 weeks, the mean increase in WHZ/BMI was 1.60 in children who received RUTF and 1.59 in the control (P value=0.99). Among those who received RUTF, there was 52% reduction for those who had advanced or severe immune suppression as compared to 63% in control arm (P value=0.39). The mean change in ALT level was -1.72 among those who received RUTF as compared to 1.84 in control group (P value=0.31). HG increased in both arms, 0.74 among those on RUTF and 0.72 in the control group (P value=0.99). Conclusion: The use of RUTF as first line management of severe malnutrition in HIV infected children should be directed to malnourished children caused by poor intake of food. In the correct setting, quality NAC may be equally effective to RUTF and this reflects the importance of treatment that is driven by underlying causes.
