“…Some wild and underutilized foods are a good source of vitamins, and some of them even have a higher vitamin and mineral content than cultivated plants [5][6][7][8][9]. Wild foods have been a significant contributor to household food security through two general pathways, by providing direct access to food and nutrients and by helping increase economic capability by selling the wild foods, which may then increase the household economic access to other foods.…”

PurposeThis study aims to assess the household food security status and explore the potency of wild edible animals as a food source in the food insecurity–prone area of Bangkalan district, Madura, Indonesia.Approach/methodology/designThis cross-sectional quantitative study used a mixed-method approach. A total of 66 participants were purposively recruited. Household food security was assessed using the short version of the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module (US-HFSSM). A list of available wild edible animals was obtained from each interview using a structured questionnaire. For the qualitative study, an in-depth interview was conducted among key informants at subvillage level.FindingsWe found that 33.4 percent of households were food insecure. At least 18 kinds of wild edible animal protein consumed by the respondents were identified in the study area, which consisted of five kinds of insects, five kinds of fish, three types of birds, and two mammals. Most of the wild edible animals were rich in protein.Originality/valueWild edible animals can be promoted to support household food security. Villagers did not usually consider consuming wild edible animals as a normal practice as there were concerns about the taste and safety of eating wild animal foods. Methods of processing and cooking foods to improve the taste and safety aspects need to be explored. The information obtained from this study adds more evidence related to the potential of edible wild animals as a food alternative for households in food-insecure areas.

In this present study, phytochemical screening, anti-obesity, anti- antipyretic and analgesic effect of Ephedra alata (EA) extracts were evaluated. Results of this study showed that the methanol EA extract (MEAE) had a stronger inhibition activity on key enzyme related to obesity as lipase (IC50 = 1.296 mg/ml) as compared to water and ethyl acetate extracts ( with IC50 = 1.639 and 1.897 respectively). Also results revealed that ethyl acetate extract depicted high activity toward key enzyme related to hyperglycemia as α-amylase (IC50 = 0.284 mg/mL) while water and methanol extracts showed good to moderate inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1,525 and 1,103 mg/ml respectively). In HFFD rats, the administration of MEAE at 200 mg/kg inhibited key enzyme related to fat digestion and absorption as lipase in the intestine, pancreas and serum by 53, 40 and 53% respectively,which leads to decrease in body weight by 20% and also modulation of lipid profile. In addition, the administration of MEAE to HFFD-rats exerts an inhibitory effect on α-amylase activity in the intestine, pancreas and serum by 43, 26 and 46% respectively and this leads to decrease in blood glucose level by 35%. Also, MEAE exert antipyretic and analgesic activities. This study demonstrates for the first time that MEAE are efficient in preventing obesity and hyperglycemia and liver toxicity. This data generated during study shows antipyretic and analgesic activities of MEAE.

“…Previous studies suggested that vitamins intake [8,9], fiber intake [10], folate intake [11,12], could decrease the development of esophageal cancer. Intakes of bioactive compounds from various plant sources also reduced the risk of cancer [13][14][15][16]. Previous meta-analyses had been published to assess the association between dietary protein intake and many cancers, such as prostate cancer [17], colorectal cancer [18], ovarian cancer [19] etc.…”

The association between dietary protein intake and esophageal cancer risk: a meta-analysis

et al. 2020

Correspondence: Hua Wang (wang hua@yeah.net) Several papers studied dietary protein intake as a potential influence factor for esophageal cancer, but their findings were inconsistent. Thus, this meta-analysis was performed to identify the effect of protein intake on esophageal cancer risk. Potential case-control studies or cohort studies from the databases of Embase, Web of Science and PubMed were searched. The strength of association was quantified by pooling odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). In total, 11 articles involving 2537 cases and 11432 participants were included in this meta-analysis. As a result, dietary protein intake had non-significant association on esophageal cancer risk overall (pooled OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.88-1.40). Meanwhile, we obtained consistent results in the subgroups analyses by study design, protein type, geographic locations and number of cases. Interestingly, dietary protein intake could significantly increase the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (pooled OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.02-1.62), instead of other disease type. To sum up, dietary protein intake had no significant association with esophageal cancer risk in the overall analysis; but, protein intake may be associated with the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. While some limitations existed in the present paper, more studies with large sample size are warranted to further confirm this result.Statistical analysis was conducted by Stata 12.0 (StataCorp, College Station, U.S.A.). Pooled ORs with their 95% CIs was calculated using the independent OR and its 95% CI in each individual study [21]. Stratified analyses were
