Grazing on the mountainous forested ranges of the Camp Creek
Unit, Malhuer National Forest, was typified by irregular distribution
of free-ranging cattle. A combination of management and physical,
topographic constraints caused cattle to concentrate on the riparian
zone early in the grazing season in 1977 and 1978. A large percentage...
Recently, high carbohydrate diets were recommended for the
treatment of diabetes mellitus. All aspects of these diets, however,
have not been fully tested — particularly in insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The present study was designed to
investigate the effects of high carbohydrate, low fat diets (HCLFD)
on blood glucose...
Dietary protein intake has been observed to influence the induction
of cancer in animals exposed to carcinogens, presumably by affecting the
activities of enzyme systems which metabolize them. One such carcinogen
is aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) a mold metabolite and frequent contaminant of
foodstuffs. Variations in the levels of dietary proteins...
Division of labor in household food preparation tasks is of
interest in dietary intervention projects. Randomly selected families
were recruited to participate in a 5-year family-based study. A small
group format that emphasized family involvement was used to promote
change from the American diet (40% fat, 500 mg cholesterol P/S...

Although there is abundant scientific information regarding vitamin E and selenium deficiency disease in domestic poultry, there is only scant information on exotic species, such as ratites. Several necropsy cases involving ostriches, emus and rheas were presented to the Oregon State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory with gross and/or histologic lesions...
The statistical correlations between habitual diet and plasma
risk factors for coronary heart disease CHD were analyzed using
multiple regression. Thirty-one male subjects between 30-56 years
kept complete dietary records for 7 days. Daily means of nutrient
consumption were calculated using a computerized data base.
Fourteen independent variables (total kilocalories,...
The status of vitamin B-6 (B6) nutriture of nine
persons (4F;5M) with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(IDDM), nine persons (5F;4M) with non-insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and 18 control individuals
(9F;9M) was evaluated, using biochemical and dietary
indicators of B6 status. The biochemical indices employed
were plasma concentration of pyridoxal...
