In our study in energy-controlled obese pair fed rats, the amount of LPL mRNA was decreased by a high intake compared to a low intake of walnut oil.
In addition, we observed a positive association between underweight and stunting, suggesting that in this population, stunting could be attributed to a low intake of main nutrients.
In people exposed to a low intake of fluoride, no changes were observed in the nervous system (Fawell et al. 2006).
Suggested dietary risk factors include an increased intake of nitrites, nitrosamines and of salted foods and a low intake of fruits and vegetables (Jakszyn and González, 2006; Tsugane and Sasazuki, 2007).
One calf that received ORS as sole treatment suffered from profound diarrhea (watery consistency of feces) and had a low intake of milk and ORS.
In fact, the Uruguayan population is characterised by a very high consumption of red meat (the highest in the world (Matos and Brandani, 2002)), a high consumption of processed meat, and a low intake of white meat.
Consequently, women of childbearing age with a low intake of folate benefit from foods fortified with folic acid and/or the use of supplements containing folic acid, especially if they become pregnant.

In the control group of women, however, there was a low intake of vitamin A (36%), thiamine (92%), vitamin C (68%), folate (72%) and calcium (51%), compared to the recommended RNI.
In conclusion, the current findings suggest that people with a high intake of retinol equivalents or vitamin B1 have an about twofold lower risk of OAG compared to those with a low intake of these nutrients, and people with a high intake of magnesium have an about threefold increase in risk of OAG compared to those with a low intake.
