“…Children in the third rural school served as controls. In the urban area, the children in one school were provided an animal protein-rich lunch, and the children in the other school remained on their regular diet and served as controls [23,24].…”

“…After 3 years of study, comparisons of the supplement and control groups did not show improvement in either the weight or height status of the children who received high-protein lunches on a daily basis, with or without vitamin B 12 [23]. No significant change in hematological values occurred; the children in the lunch program did not differ hematologically from the control group [24]. It was concluded that the nutritional damage responsible for stunting had occurred in the preschool period and that the nutrition status of the schoolchildren was reasonably satisfactory.…”

“…No plausible explanation for these observations was given at the time, but it is now tempting to hypothesize that the observed changes could well have been the result of ordinary rhythmic changes in growth patterns. Furthermore, the snacks and additives in Guatemala, as was the case with the school lunch programs in El Salvador, did not result in significant changes in hematologic values that could be associated with the experimental treatments [24]. Evaluation of wrist roentgenograms of the children who received 20 mg of vitamin B 12 daily did not show improvement in bone maturation after 12 months of treatment [27].…”

This paper reviews the findings of early field studies of INCAP comparing the effects of vitamin B12 and animal and vegetable protein on the growth of poorly nourished schoolchildren. It also describes a 5-year community-based intervention study showing that a protein-rich supplement given to preschool children improves growth and cognition and decreases morbidity and mortality. Medical care in one village had no detectable benefits. A classical seven-year community-based detailed observational study of the infection status and growth in children from birth is also summarized.

“… Ufele et al (2008 ) found positive variations in RBC levels in mice that fed on plant-based protein (soybean and corn meal). Similarly, higher RBCs were found due to the bioavailability of animal protein than plant-based protein ( Aguirre et al, 1959 ). Contrary to this study, Kim et al (2014) reported a decrease in WBC count upon providing a high level of plant-based protein.…”

Introduction: Onions (Allium cepa L.) are excellent sources of bioactive compounds and phytochemicals such as allicin, quercetin, fisetin, and other sulfurous compounds. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the effects of dried onion powder on growth performance, nitrogen balance, and biochemical parameters in Wistar albino rats with induced hyperuricemia.Methods: A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into four groups, with six in each group: HU (positive control) and HOT1, HOT2, and HOT3 groups, which received a diet containing onion powder at concentrations of 11.13, 14.84, and 18.61 g/100 g, respectively. Hyperuricemia was induced in rats by administering a new formulation intraperitoneally (250 mg/kg potassium oxonate) and orally (40 mg/kg potassium bromate) daily for 14 days. After confirmation of hyperuricemia induction, rats were fed with onion-treated diets with various concentrations of quercetin for 21 days.Results: Significant decreases (p ≤ 0.05) in serum uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein were observed. An increasing trend (p ≤ 0.05) in the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), and platelet count was observed. An improvement in the levels of serum high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum total protein and neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes was observed. A positive progress (p ≤ 0.05) was observed in growth performance and nutrient digestibility.Conclusion: In conclusion, a significantly lower uric acid level was observed in rats fed with HOT2 diet. Based on the ratio of the surface area (human/rat), the best recommended dose of onion for the incidence and prevention of hyperuricemia is 189.95 g, corresponding to the dose of 204 mg/day of quercetin in humans.

“…In another research, children fed animal protein-based lunch had higher RBCs than those fed the vegetable protein-based lunch. Higher RBCs may be due to higher bioavailability of animal protein than vegetable protein (Aguirre et al, 1959). It flow of blood, and eventually blood clots (Hoffman et al, 2013).…”

Eggs are good sources of nutrients essential for the growth and development of infants. Introducing eggs as a weaning food can improve dietary adequacy in infants at risk for protein energy malnutrition (PEM). To evaluate the current objective, 72 pups (36 males and 36 females) were used to calculate the impact of various egg protein levels on blood parameters. Nonisonitrogenous and isocaloric pellet diets were offered to pups for 28 days using nine pups with three replicates according to a completely randomized design (CRD). The water intake and ad libitum diet were offered to weaned pups. The pups were randomly assigned to different concentrations of diet, which contained WF0, control diet, 14% of soybean protein; WF1, 14% of egg protein; WF2, 16% of egg protein; and WF3, 18% of egg protein, respectively. After weaning, the intraperitoneal injection with the drug (xylazine with ketamine) was used to anesthetize before killing on the 28th day. Blood samples were used to measure the blood metabolites. The results indicated that the concentration of red blood cells, white blood cells, serum triglycerides, and serum protein was significantly (p ≤ .05) increased in pups fed with high egg protein levels compared to the control. The highest platelet count was observed in the pups fed WF3 diet. In contrast, the amount of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase was significantly (p ≤ .05) reduced with increasing the level of egg protein in the diets of weaned pups. Immunity biomarkers (immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M) and kidney functions (creatinine and blood urine nitrogen) were nonsignificantly (p ≤ .05) increased in the pups fed a high level of protein due to a high biological value of soybean protein. Moreover, the concentration of immunoglobulin E in all pups remained unchanged. Egg protein in infant formula feed can be used for the growth and development of infants.
