Abstract:
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease associated with disorders of nutrient assimilation and, as a result, with significant changes in the nutritional status. All patients with acute pancreatitis should be considered at nutritional risk and should be screened using validated screening methods. The optimal nutritional treatment for acute pancreatitis has been debated for decades. The traditional approach was "nothing in the mouth", only parenteral nutrition until the acute symptoms disappear and the level of serum pancreatic enzymes decreases. However, this tactic can contribute to various complications, starting with malnutrition and ending with sepsis due to damage of the intestinal mucosa. Clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown that patients with acute pancreatitis can tolerate oral nutrition and that oral / enteral nutrition is associated with a shorter hospital stay and a lower rate of complications compared to solely parenteral. Therefore, early oral nutrition with a low-fat "soft food" is recommended. In case of oral feeding intolerance, enteral nutrition is preferable, but not parenteral supply. A combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition may be recommended in patients who do not tolerate a sufficient amount of enteral nutrition. Malnutrition in chronic pancreatitis cannot be detected using BMI alone, and a detailed nutritional assessment is required, including assessment of symptoms and organic functions, anthropometry, and biochemical tests. Nutritional therapy in chronic pancreatitis should be multifactorial and based on abstinence from alcohol and nicotine, and diet modification. International guidelines no longer recommend severe dietary fat restriction; on the contrary, a physiological diet is recommended, but with adequate replacement of pancreatic enzymes. In case of intolerance to physiological nutrition, a low-fat diet with oral nutritional supplements is recommended to replenish energy and nutrients. This is a review of recent studies and guidelines on nutrition in pancreatitis for physicians and medical trainees.

Abstract:
Parenteral nutrition has evolved tremendously, with parenteral formulas now safer and more accessible than ever. “All-in-one” admixtures are now available, which simplify parenteral nutrition usage and decrease line infection rates alongside other methods of infectious control. Recently published data on the benefits of parenteral nutrition versus enteral nutrition together with the widespread use of indirect calorimetry solve many safety issues that have emerged over the years. All these advances, alongside a better understanding of glycemic control and lipid and protein formulation improvements, make parenteral nutrition a safe alternative to enteral nutrition.

Abstract:
Introduction. Diet has vital, preventive and therapeutic functions. Medical nutrition therapy is a part of the Standardized Nutrition Care Process integrated in health care systems. Material and methods. An overview of the Nutrition Care Process model and the application of nutrition guidelines based on literature, reports, documents and programmes of international health, food and physical activity authorities was done. Results. The Nutrition Care Process model requires registered dieticians, standardized terminology as well as nutrition diagnosis categorization. It consists of four distinct, but interrelated and connected steps: (a) nutrition assessment, (b) nutrition diagnosis, (c) nutrition intervention, and (d) nutrition monitoring and evaluation. An individual approach is essential for successful medical nutrition therapy. Nutrition guidelines facilitate the process of understanding and application of medical nutrition therapy. Conclusion. The Nutrition Care process provides dietetic professionals information on high-quality client nutrition care. The success of medical nutrition therapy rests not only upon the advice of the dietician, but also upon the client?s compliance.

Abstract:
Nutrition disturbances occur at all stages of chronic kidney disease and progress with the decrease of the kidney filtration rate. Kidney transplantation (KTx) as the best form of kidney replacement therapy poses various nutritional challenges. Prior to transplantation, recipients often present with mild to advanced nutrition disturbances. A functioning allograft not only relieves uremia, acidosis, and electrolyte disturbances, but also resumes other kidney functions such as erythropoietin production and vitamin D3 metabolism. KTx recipients represent a whole spectrum of undernutrition and obesity. Since following transplantation, patients are relieved of most dietary restrictions and appetite disturbances; they resume old nutrition habits that result in weight gain. The immunosuppressive regimen often predisposes them to dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. Moreover, most recipients present with chronic kidney graft disease at long-term follow-ups, usually in stages G2–G3T. Therefore, the nutritional status of KTx patients requires careful monitoring. Appropriate dietary and lifestyle habits prevent nutrition disturbances and may improve kidney graft function. Despite many nutritional guidelines and recommendations targeted at chronic kidney disease, there are few targeted at KTx recipients. We aimed to provide a brief review of nutrition disturbances and known nutritional recommendations for kidney transplant recipients based on the current literature and dietary trends.

Abstract:
Parenteral nutrition—a form of administering nutrients, electrolytes, trace elements, vitamins, and water—is a widely used mode of therapy applied in many diseases, in patients of different ages both at home and in hospital. The success of nutritional therapy depends chiefly on proper determination of the patient’s energetic and electrolytic needs as well as preparation and administration of a safe nutritional mixture. As a parenterally administered drug, it is expected to be microbiologically and physicochemically stable, with all of the components compatible with each other. It is very difficult to obtain a stable nutritional mixture due to the fact that it is a complex, two-phase drug. Also, the risk of incompatibility between mixture components and packaging should be taken into consideration and possibly eliminated. Since parenteral nutrition is a part of therapy, simultaneous use of drugs may cause pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions as well as those with the pharmaceutical phase. The aim of this paper is to discuss such aspects of parenteral nutrition as mixture stability, methodology, and methods for determining the stability of nutritional mixtures and drugs added to them.

Abstract:
Introduction: The nutritional status has been related to breast cancer risk factors as well as to cancer treatment morbid mortality. Thus, its assessment is important for developing strategies for the promotion of nutritional status and breast cancer outcome. Material and Methods: Several different methods used for nutritional assessment in breast cancer patients undergoing therapy were used, including subjective global assessment (SGA), body mass index (BMI), and biochemical analysis (BA). The occurrence of complications during breast cancer treatment versus the nutritional status was assessed. Results: We followed 86 women with age range 18-76 years. Most patients were considered malnourished (65%). A good number of patients experienced complications during breast cancer treatment, and associated with nutritional status. Conclusion: In breast cancer women undergoing therapy, the prevalence of under nutrition was high. There were the effects of poor nutrition or undernutrition on clinical outcomes of breast cancer.

Abstract:
Proper nutrition is essential for enhancing healthcare outcomes. Elevated rates of malnutrition are present in hospitalized patients. Malnutrition and unmet nutritional needs increase morbidity and mortality, lower quality of life, lengthen the time spent on mechanical ventilation, and lengthen hospital stays, all of which raise the expense of medical treatment. Patients who are critically ill need specific care to minimize muscle wasting, avoid overfeeding, and prevent complications from nutritional therapy. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about identification, prevention, and management of malnutrition in the critically ill patients. To identify patients who are more likely to experience complications from malnutrition, nutritional status is evaluated. Various assessment methods and tools are present to identify malnutrition in critically ill patients. Effective targeting of appropriate nutrient levels, and prompt initiation of nutritional support, among other measures can reduce the risk of malnutrition. Ideally, enteral nutrition should be started after initial 24 to 48 hours. Parenteral nutrition may be employed if the nutritional need is not properly supplied by enteral nutrition even after seven days following intensive care admission. In patients receiving nutrition therapy, electrolytes should be carefully assessed. Even if 50% to 60% of nutritional requirements are not successfully met during 72 hours of oral nutrition support then tube feeding should be considered. Further clinical research can be beneficial in determining the effectiveness and outcomes of nutritional therapy in malnourished critically ill patients.

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate relationship between changes in the beneficial bacteria in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and nutritional therapy type. Methods: Ten patients aged ≥18 years admitted to the ICU between January and December 2020, were included. Good enteral nutrition was defined as early achievement of target calorie intake through enteral feeding. The ratio of beneficial bacteria at the first and second bowel movements after each patient's admission was calculated and the patients were classified into the increase or decrease group. Among all patients, five each were in the increase and decrease groups. We investigated patient background, changes in sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scores, nutritional doses or methods, and clinical outcomes. Results: No relationship was found between changes in the ratio of beneficial bacteria and changes in SOFA/APACHE II scores at the time of admission. The rate of good enteral nutrition was significantly higher in the increase group than in the decrease group (4/5 vs. 0/5, P=0.01). Conclusions: An increase in beneficial bacteria may be significantly related to the early establishment of enteral nutrition. In the future, accumulating cases may make it possible to establish a new nutritional strategy for critically ill patients from an intestinal microbiota perspective.

Abstract:
This study contributed to best practice dietary management of clients with heart disease in a number of ways. It compared the effectiveness of five different styles of delivery of dietary intervention in clients with heart disease. It considered the associations between pyschosocial and other individual characteristics and dietary intervention outcomes and reviewed the usefulness of many currently recommended outcome measures. Resources and recommendations were also developed to allow the incorporation of the findings into clinical practice. 277 male clients with demonstrated coronary heart disease were recruited from The Prince Charles Hospital during 1998. Participants were allocated to five groups: individual counselling, single group session, multi-group sessions, handout only or study questionnaires only. Dietary intervention was provided to the first four groups. Demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, dietary and psychosocial data were collected from participants at baseline, 3 months and 6 months post intervention. A specially designed education resource 'Key to Healthy Heart Eating' was developed and used in the dietary intervention groups. All interventions resulted in improvements or positive outcomes for some of the variables measured, with many achieving statistical significance as noted in the results section. Positive changes to clinical (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides), anthropometric (body mass index, waist hip ratio), behavioural and psychosocial outcome measures occurred for many individuals over the 6 month study period. The 'questionnaires only' intervention was shown to be significantly less effective for promoting improvement in anthropometric outcome measures compared to the dietary interventions considered. However, between these dietary interventions, no clear difference in performance was seen consistently across all outcome measures. Therefore, choice of delivery style can not be specified by the results of this study. The multitude and complexity of factors involved in dietary behaviour change and achievement of positive outcomes is supported and reinforced. Some associations between initial characteristics and final outcomes were suggested and further studies are recommended to clarify and explore these findings further. The results of this study indicate that the most feasible and outcome effective style of delivery for this target population is dependent on the individual's capacity to participate, their initial anthropometric, clinical, behavioural and psychosocial profile, and other factors such as their support network, and physical and mental status. A screening process to select the most appropriate form of dietary intervention for individual clients with heart disease was developed to assist practitioners in the clinical setting. Due to changes in knowledge scores during the study and the high percentage of participants meeting desirable outcome criteria before intervention, the validity and usefulness of some of the outcome measures can be questioned. For example, the focus on reducing fat intake was not appropriate as many were already selecting a low fat diet. The study also highlighted the need for practitioners to focus more on the dietary fibre intake of participants and their perceived barriers to change, for example, their willingness to explore new foods. High scores for doctors in the health locus of control questionnaires demonstrated the important role doctors are perceived to play, and hence their inclusion and involvement to promote a collaborative and integrated team approach is encouraged. The importance of ongoing support and follow-up for these clients was also highlighted and recommended. The education resource developed for use in the current study will provide a useful tool for clinicians providing dietary and lifestyle education to men with coronary heart disease. The proposed screening process and recommendations are also provided for dissemination to, and evaluation by, practitioners. Further research is encouraged to build upon these findings and continue contributing towards the development of best practice guidelines for the dietary management of clients with heart disease.

Abstract:
Negative consumer opinion poses a potential barrier to the application of nutrigenomic intervention. The present study has aimed to determine attitudes toward genetic testing and personalised nutrition among the European public. An omnibus opinion survey of a representative sample aged 14-55+ years (n 5967) took place in France, Italy, Great Britain, Portugal, Poland and Germany during June 2005 as part of the Lipgene project. A majority of respondents (66 %) reported that they would be willing to undergo genetic testing and 27 % to follow a personalised diet. Individuals who indicated a willingness to have a genetic test for the personalising of their diets were more likely to report a history of high blood cholesterol levels, central obesity and/or high levels of stress than those who would have a test only for general interest. Those who indicated that they would not have a genetic test were more likely to be male and less likely to report having central obesity. Individuals with a history of high blood cholesterol were less likely than those who did not to worry if intervention foods contained GM ingredients. Individuals who were aware that they had health problems associated with the metabolic syndrome appeared particularly favourable toward nutrigenomic intervention. These findings are encouraging for the future application of personalised nutrition provided that policies are put in place to address public concern about how genetic information is used and held.

Abstract This chapter addresses the complex pathogenesis of protein–energy wasting and malnutrition in chronic kidney disease and renal replacement therapy patients. Methods of nutritional status evaluation, protein requirements in individuals with impaired renal function and additional influence of catabolic stress and dialysis are explored. Safe prescribing in renal disease is subject to additional considerations: reduced elimination of drugs or drug metabolites, decreased effectivity, increased drug sensitivity, and side effects. The role of renal replacement therapies in removal of toxins is also covered. Conservative care encompasses the management of individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease receiving supportive care, including appropriate identification and treatment of pruritus and pain. The palliative care section covers the dying patient and symptom management in the dying phase of life for end stage renal disease patients.

Abstract:
This chapter is concerned with proteins, the fundamental structures of life. They exist as functional elements within every cell and undergo extensive metabolic interaction. This widespread metabolic interaction is intimately linked to the metabolism of energy and other nutrients. At the most basic level, proteins are made from a combination of 20 different amino acids, which determines the structure and function. Dietary protein and exercise are the two key stimuli that promote positive protein turnover, which can be accurately and reliably measured using stable isotope methods. The potency of the anabolic response to dietary protein is dependent upon the protein quality, which can be measured via the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score, Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score, and/or using stable isotope tracers. In situations of protein deficiency, significant body mass can be lost, drastically impairing health and quality of life, requiring dietary protein therapy to help overcome/manage these conditions.

Abstract:
Obesity is a chronic disease, difficult to control. Even with traditional treatments, such as diet prescription, physical exercise, psychological and drug therapy, the obesity prevalence still continues to increase in worldwide. Thus, behavioral nutrition emerges as a possibility in the control of this disease. This study aimed to understand the role of behavioral nutrition in the treatment of obesity. This is a literature review, conducted through online research in Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs. Publications from the last ten years in Portuguese and English were included. Reference books in the area were also consulted. The keywords used in the search were: obesity, feeding behavior, mildfulness eating, and intuitive eating. The Boolean AND and OR techniques were used to combine the keywords. Behavioral nutrition is a psychological method, which aims to understand food as a whole, and its main objective is to change negative relationships with food. Thus, the application of behavioral nutrition in obesity treatment can favor the individual to see food as a source of both nutrition and pleasure, but not as an "enemy". It is known that obesity is directly associated with eating-related behavior patterns and changes of satiety recognition. In this sense, behavioral nutrition techniques broaden the range of interventionist possibilities to rescue the recognition of the hunger and satiety cycle and the factors that interferes in this process. Strategies of behavioral nutrition applied in the treatment of obesity include nutritional counseling, intuitive eating, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindful eating tactics. It is concluded that the application of behavioral nutrition promotes recognition of hunger and satiety signals, and may generate even greater benefits in the treatment of obesity.

Introduction: Nutritional screening should be used as a tool nutritional risk early identification, aiming at intervention for the prevention of malnutrition and rehabilitation. Objectives: Report nutritional risk management protocol in patients admitted for suspected stroke. Methodology: Experience report on the working method of nutrition team at a stroke reference center. Results: Nutrition screening by a Dietist is applied within 72 hours of admission of all patients admitted to the acute/integral stroke unit. First, NRS-2002 tool is applied, in which the following items are considered: BMI < 20.5Kg/m²; weight loss in the past three months; reduction in food intake in the last week; metabolic stress and age (≥70 years old). Those with a speech-language diagnosis of dysphagia are also considered at nutritional risk. After, anthropometric measurements: weight and height are measured with walking patients, or knee height, brachial and calf circumference of those with cognitive and/or motor disabilities. Individualized nutritional therapy (oral/enteral) is prescribed. In addition, cases are discussed in a multiprofessional daily round to define actions during rehabilitation and in the discharge process (conter- referral to primary care, nutrition advice and continuity of nutritional therapy at home). Conclusions: Establishing a nutritional risk management protocol is important for early identification in post-stroke patients, since nutritional status is directly related to a good prognosis and long-term quality of life.

Abstract:
Background: Nutrition therapy is considered a key component of diabetes management. Highprotein diets are recently gaining more popularity. Knowledge regarding the potential glycemic effect of protein in people with type 2 diabetes has been a particular interest. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study based on NHANES data collected on participants aged 40 years and older who attended the surveys cohorts of 2011–2012 and 2013–2014. Data on 1058 participants were included in the analysis. Glycemic control was measured as HbA1c level and patients were categorized into quartiles of daily protein intake. Analysis adjusted for age, gender, race and energy intake muscle strength (quartile), sedentary activity, income to poverty ratio, education, smoking, alcohol drinking and BMI. Logistic regression models were produced to investigate the impact of high protein intakes on odds of poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7). Results: After controlling for muscle strength (quartile), sedentary activity, income to poverty ratio, education, smoking, alcohol drinking and BMI; patients in Quartile 4 for protein intake had 260% increased risk for poor glycemic control as compared to those in quartile 1. These results are limited because the analysis did not consider the source of protein (animal vs plant). Further studies are needed.

Abstract:
Introduction: The modified Atkins diet (MAD) the carbohydrates are limited to 15–30 g/d and high fat intake is encouraged. It are used in children, being less studied in adults Objectives: To assess the impact of MAD over a 6-month period in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy in terms of reduction in seizure frequency and cardiovascular risk. Methods: Prospective and interventional study.Inclusion criteria:patients aged 18–60 yrs, with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, without surgical indication or in the postoperative of epilepsy surgery. Exclusion criteria were: use of corticosteroids, metabolic diseases, cholecystectomy or nephrolithiasis, inadequate nutrition, uncooperative parents or caregivers and inadequate sociofamily dynamics. All started the diet at a 1:1 ratio and ASMs. Study periods: baseline (P0), six month (P6). Carotid and vertebral Doppler ultrasounds were performed at P0 and P6 in order to assess possible alterations related to of the carotid arteries the intima-media thickness. Results: Twenty patients are being followed up, 12 of which started the MAD, and of these, 6 completed the six-month period of diet therapy and underwent pre and post-diet exams. The 6 patients showed no increase in mean total, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides cholesterol levels.There was no change in the thickness of the myointimal complex of any patient, made by comparative analysis by ultrasonographic exam before and after six months of starting the diet. Four out of 6 patients had >50% reduction in seizures (two seizure free) and two had no change in frequency. Conclusion: MAD for six months in adults with drug-resistant focal epilepsy had a significant effect on the reduction of epileptic seizures and did not reveal alterations in the myointimal wall of the carotid arteries.

Abstract:
Background: Though pharmacotherapy of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is widespread, some patients suffer with side effects or do not improve with it. Objectives: Evaluate clinical outcomes of non-pharmacological therapy on ADHD. Design and Setting: This is a literature review, produced in Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health. Methods: Articles published between 2011 and 2021 were taken from PubMed, using the following search: (“Non-pharmacological treatment” OR “Non- pharmacological therapy” OR “Non-pharmacological intervention” OR “Non-drug treatment” OR “Non-drug therapy” OR “Adjuvant treatment” OR “Adjuvant therapy”) AND (“ADHD” OR “Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder”). Studies that did not match this review’s objectives were excluded. Results: 20 of the 57 articles found, were selected. Reviews that approach treatment in general indicate non-pharmacological therapy specially when there are obstacles to use of drugs, but highlight the lack of studies with methodological quality in this field. Clinical studies indicate reduction of symptoms through neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and aerobic exercises. One of the interventions with the most articles was nutritional supplementation, though most of them did not find significant improvement. Conclusions: Non-pharmacological treatment of ADHD is a relevant alternative, especially when there is no response to medication, but studies with better methodological quality are necessary.

Abstract:
Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.

Abstract:
Abstract 3D food printing has received high attention in personalized meal production and customized food designs in recent years due to its potential advantages over traditional food manufacturing methods. A current challenge in 3D food printing is the design of extrudable food materials that enable customized shape fabrication and retention. Additives such as starches and gums have been employed to improve food printability, however, these often detrimentally affect taste, texture, and nutrients. Our study explores the printability and shape fidelity of mashed potatoes when adding protein-rich cricket and pea protein powders. Different percentages of these additives (5%, 15%, and 30%) with varied water to protein ratios (0, 1, 2, and 3) were added to 100g of mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes with the addition of cricket powder and pea powder provided the highest fidelity prints for water to additive ratios of 2 and 3, respectively. Rheological testing demonstrated these high-fidelity prints had complex modulus values ranging from 15Pa to 25Pa. Trade-offs were explored between print fidelity, complex modulus, and protein content for mashed potatoes with cricket protein that highlighted the relative trade-offs in 3D food printing recipes. These findings demonstrate that a design space including shape fidelity, printability, and nutritional profile provides rich trade-offs for promoting user satisfaction and health, thereby providing designers new opportunities to leverage 3D food printing to provide value for consumer needs and health.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Is pediatric tuina an effective treatment for recurrent respiratory tract infection in children? Condition being studied: Recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) is a common disease in children, which refers to the recurrence of upper and lower respiratory tract infections within a year, exceeding the prescribed number of times. It is more common in infants under 3 years old. The disease is easy to relapse and lasts for a long time, affecting the normal growth and development of children and physical and mental health, easily causing other diseases, leading to a variety of chronic wasting diseases, and damaging the function of organs and the immune system. Immunotherapy and nutritional therapy are commonly used in Western medicine. At present, the treatment of RRTI in children with traditional Chinese medicine has achieved a certain effect, and the treatment mainly includes internal treatment and external treatment. Tuina therapy is one of the common therapies for the treatment of RRTI in children with traditional Chinese medicine. Because of its advantages, there are many literature reports on tuina treatment of this disease, with a good total effective rate, but whether its therapeutic effect is higher than other therapies has not been determined as a whole. This study used the method of systematic review to collect the published clinical research literature on the treatment of RRTI in children at home and abroad for systematic review, so as to provide a reference for clinical research.

Abstract:
Objectives The original project had 2 major objectives: (1) To determine the effects of centrally administered leptin antagonist on appetite and adaptive metabolism in the sheep; (2) To develop and prepare second-generation leptin antagonists combining high binding affinity and prolonged in vivo half-life. Background Periods of suboptimal nutrition or exaggerated metabolic activity demands lead to a state of chronic energy insufficiency. Ruminants remain productive for a surprisingly long period of time under these circumstances by evoking adaptations sparing available energy and nutrients. The mechanism driving these adaptations in ruminant remains unknown, but could involve a reduction in plasma leptin, a hormone acting predominantly in the brain. In laboratory animals, reduced leptin signaling promotes survival during nutritional insufficiency by triggering energy sparing adaptations such as reduced thyroid hormone production and insulin resistance. Our overall hypothesis is that similar adaptations are triggered by reduced leptin signaling in the brain of ruminants. Testing of this hypothesis in ruminants has not been possible due to inability to block the actions of endogenous leptin and access to ruminant models where leptin antagonistic therapy is feasible and effective. Major achievements and conclusions The Israeli team had previously mutated 3 residues in ovine leptin, with no effect on receptor binding. This mutant was renamed ovine leptin antagonist (OLA) because it cannot activate signaling and therefore antagonizes the ability of wild type leptin to activate its receptor. To transform OLA into an effective in vivo antagonist, the Israeli made 2 important technical advances. First, it incorporated an additional mutation into OLA, increasing its binding affinity and thus transforming it into a super ovine leptin antagonist (SOLA). Second, the Israeli team developed a method whereby polyethylene glycol is covalently attached to SOLA (PEG-SOLA) with the goal of extending its half-life in vivo. The US team used OLA and PEG-SOLA in 2 separate animal models. First, OLA was chronically administered directly into the brain of mature sheep via a cannula implanted into the 3rdcerebroventricule. Unexpectedly, OLA had no effect of voluntary feed intake or various indicators of peripheral insulin action but reduced the plasma concentration of thyroid hormones. Second, the US team tested the effect of peripheral PEG-SOLA administration in an energy sensitive, rapidly growing lamb model. PEG-SOLA was administered for 14 consecutive days after birth or for 5 consecutive days before sacrifice on day 40 of life. Plasma PEG-SOLA had a half-life of over 16 h and circulated in 225- to 288-fold excess over endogenous leptin. PEG-SOLA administration reduced plasma thyroid hormones and resulted in a higher fat content in the carcass at slaughter, but had no effects on feed intake, body weight, plasma glucose or insulin. These results show that the team succeeded in developing a leptin antagonist with a long in vivo half-life. Moreover, in vivo results show that reduced leptin signaling promotes energy sparing in ruminants by repressing thyroid hormone production. Scientific and agricultural implications The physiological role of leptin in ruminants has been difficult to resolve because peripheral administration of wild type leptin causes little effects. Our work with leptin antagonists show for the first time in ruminants that reduced leptin signaling induces energy sparing mechanisms involving thyroid hormone production with little effect on peripheral insulin action. Additional work is needed to develop even more potent leptin antagonists, to establish optimal administration protocols and to narrow down phases of the ruminant life cycle when their use will improve productivity.
