Heifers in experiment 1 fed ryegrass, compared to the forage mixtures, had greater total tract digestibility (g kg −1) of DM (DMD; P < 0.008, 713 vs. 641) and CP (CPD, P < 0.001, 699 vs. 475), and used more intake energy for body tissue deposition (P < 0.05, 2.6 vs. −4.9).
The important underreporting suggested by our analysis again raises the question of whether self-reported energy intake data should be used for the determination of energy intake and illustrates the need for more valid and applicable energy intake assessment methods in free-living humans [74].
For more information on food intake and body mass of the animals please see [36].
All subjects were studied after an overnight fast and refrained from caffeine intake for more than 12 hours, since caffeine may modulate the effects of adenosine.
Children were considered to be fasting until admission with subsequently only a continuous glucose infusion without enteral intake for more than 6 hours.
Poor nutritional intake for more than 10 days, weight loss >15% prior to recruitment and a low-serum magnesium level at baseline had sensitivity values of 66.7%.
The risk factors were body mass index <16 (kg/m), unintentional weight loss >15% in the preceding 3 6 months, very little or no nutritional intake for more than 10 days and low levels of serum potassium, phosphate or magnesium prior to artificial nutrition support.
Poor nutritional intake for more than 10 days, weight loss >15% prior to recruitment and low-serum magnesium level at baseline predicted the refeeding syndrome with a sensitivity of 66.7%: specificity was >80% apart from weight loss of >15% which was 59.1%.
To examine the relation for more extreme categories of protein intake with GWG, we used low (<12%) and high (>20%) cut-off points based on the population distribution.
This is because reduced air velocity in the intake allows for more buildup.
