    Hen's eggs for analysis were obtained after about 4 months feeding the experimental diets containg 10% of dried Chlorella and raw soybean powder as control respectively.
    The weight of each part, water, total nitrogen, fat, color intensity, pigments, and vitamin A in eggs of two group were measured.
    From the results of the experiments, the nutritional value of egg of the group fed Chlorella diets was supperior to that of the control.

    To determine the relationship of nutrient intakes with physical development of the blind school children, comparative studies were made on the diets served by boarding house of four blind schools in the Tohoku district (Miyagi, Yamagata, Akita and Iwate prefectures). From the nutrient intakes, the boarding houses were classified into two groups of A and B, the former being lower than the latter.
    The results obtained are:
    (1) The diets are limited and generally not well planned nutritionally, particularly the amounts of animal protein, fat, calcium, and vitamins were markedly low for growing children.
    (2) In general, since the food cost per child per month is less than that of the average family, good nutrient intake of the blind school children is difficult.
    (3) The children of A group compared with B group showed a higher percentage of symptoms usually accepted as associated with nutritional deficiency, for example the disappearance of knee-jerk.
    (4) The differences in physical development of the blind school children of A and B groups between the ages of six to 20 years when compared as to height and weight were significant, A being distinctly inferior to B.

  • On the Seasonal Variation of the Basal Metabolism (B. M.) and Growth of Blind School-children. (Part 5)

    Experimental studies were made to determine the amount of B. M. of the blind school-children, and to solve the seasonal effects of the B. M. and growth to either the environmental temperature or reflected light.
    The B. M. were measured on 10 boys and 9 girls of 7 to 12 year in age, every season for one year from October 1957 by the Douglas-bag method.
    On the other hand, the height and weight were measured on 19 boys and 13 girls of blind school-children and 785 boys and 742 girls of normal school-children of 6 to 14 years in age, every month for one year since April 1957.
    The following results were obtained.
    (1) The amount of B. M. per square meter of the body surface per hour and oxygen consumption increased in autumn and winter, and decreased in summer and spring.
    Respiratory quotient was lowest in winter and autumn and highest in summer and spring. These seasonal variations were in agreement with normal children.
    (2) The amount of B. M. of blind girls in about 7-14 per cent less than that of the boys'.
    (3) The amount of B. M. of blind children, both boys and girls, is about 1-15 per cent less than the standard value of B. M. which was introduced by the National Food and Nutrition Council of Japan, and also Furukawa's value.
    (4) As in normal children, the B. M. of blind children depends largely upon the age, sex, height, weight and surface area of the body, and these co-relation was not much different. However, among these co-relation the surface area of the body is the most highly correlated with the B. M.
    (5) Similar to normal school-children, the maximum development in height of blind children are in spring and their weight in autumn.

  • The Essential Amino Acid Intake of College Girls

    An evaluation was conducted from the view-point of the present status of essential amino acid intake of 51 college girls, and the results obtained were as follows:
    (1) The intake of essential amino acids among days of the week during the winter season showed insignificant difference in a certain range.
    (2) It is apperent that the girls leving in the dormitory ingest more essential amino acids than those who live at home, but when these amino acids were calculated on the basis of gram per one-gram of nitrogen, no considerable differences were recognized between the twogroups.
    (3) The coefficiency of animal protein to lysine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine and sulfur-containing amino acids were found to be in direct proportion respectively expect in case of phenylalanine was in inverse proportion, and had no relation to tryptophan and valine.
