Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lack of appetite in young children leads to growing incidences of physical and mental growth disorders. Supplementation of certain micronutrients can increase appetite and improve nutritional status. This study aims to analyze the effects of zinc and iron supplementation on appetite, nutritional status and intelligence quotient (IQ) in young children.METHODS: An experimental study withrandomized control group pre/post-test design was conducted in Semarang, Indonesia. A total of 68 children were divided into four groups. The first group was the control group, which was given a placebo; the second group was given a zinc supplement at 10 mg/day; the third group was given an iron supplement at 7.5 mg/day; andthe fourth group was given zinc and iron for three months. Appetite was assessed based on eating frequency and energy intake. Nutritional status was assessed by weight per age (W/A) and height per age (H/A) z score. IQ score was assessed based on Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI).RESULTS: Before intervention, low zinc intake was observed in 27.7% of the subjects and low iron intake was observed in 58.5% of them. After intervention, appetite in the second and fourth groups increased. W/A z score increased in the second and third groups. IQ score increased in the third group. No significant effect on H/A z score was observed in all groups.CONCLUSION: Supplementation of zinc and iron for three months had a positive effect on appetite, body weight and IQ score but no significant effect on body height.KEYWORDS: appetite, zinc, iron, growth

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Administration of resistant starch (RS) influences the diversity and the composition of microbiota as well as inhibits the growth of cancer cell. Banana as a potential source of RS has been reported. Although Musa paradisiaca has been reported to induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells, Musa balbisiana, which has low glycemic index and suitable for particular patients, has not been investigated yet.METHODS: Starches of M. balbisiana and M. paradisiaca were prepared and mixed with other components to make 3 types of mouse pellets. Mouse model for colon cancer was prepared and fed with different types of mouse pellets. Blood was collected and processed for measuring β-glucuronidase and malondialdehyde (MDA) with Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Resected ceca were incised to collect the inner part for short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) measurement with gas chromatography analysis. Resected colas were fixed and processed for immunohistochemistry to detect Caspase-3.RESULTS: Colon-cancer-mice fed with the M. balbisiana and M. paradisiaca starches-contained pellets had significant higher concentrations of total SCFA (p=0.003), acetic acid (p=0.000), propionic acid (p=0.000) and butyric acid (p=0.000); lower concentration of β-glucuronidase (p<0.001); higher Caspase-3 score (p=0.040); and lower MDA concentration (p<0.001) than colon-cancer-mice fed with standard pellet (control).CONCLUSION: M. balbisiana and M. paradisiaca starches could be suggested as potential anti-colon cancer RS. Further research should be carried out to disclose the starches mechanisms in colon cancer cell.KEYWORDS: Musa balbisiana, Musa paradisiaca, colon cancer, resistant starch, Caspase-3, SCFA, β-glucuronidase, malondialdehyde
