Abstract In the development and testing of programs designed to improve complementary feeding globally, local nonfortified food-based solutions comprise an important strategy for the foreseeable future. These solutions are especially vital for the rural poor of less-developed countries. Zinc is notable among individual nutrients that have been designated as "problem" nutrients, adequate intake of which is difficult from complementary...
Abstract The divalent cation zinc is an essential element, having both universal and specified functions throughout the body. In the mammalian telencephalon, zinc has extensive effects on neurotransmission, affecting receptor function and second messenger systems. Through these means, it is often postulated that zinc has a fundamental role in regulating cortical synaptic function. Given that plasticity, that is, the...

"Phosphatidylserine supplementation significantly increased cognitive function prior to exercise. Improved cognitive function could benefit athletes and non-athletes alike. Phosphatidylserine did not appear to affect mood or endocrine response prior to or following resistance exercise."
The effects of oxiracetam, (ISF 2522) in patients with organic brain syndrome (a double-blind controlled study with piracetam). Drug Dev. Res. 2:447–461, 1982. In a double-blind controlled trial, the clinical effects of oxiracetam, a new "nootropic" compound, were investigated in a group of 60 elderly patients with organic mental disorders (DSM-III). The starting dose of both oxiracetam...
The effect of the nootropic drug pramiracetam (CI-879) on acquisition of a radial arm maze task was examined in the rat. Two doses of pramiracetam (7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) were administered daily prior to testing for 7 weeks in a 16-arm radial maze in which nine arms were baited with food. This procedure permitted a distinction between working...
