[Induction of monooxygenase system and incorporation of radioactivity from 2-14C-lysine into proteins of rat liver microsomes under the action of phenobarbital and the background of lysine, methionine, threonine and vitamin A, C and E deficiencies].

The effect of diet on induction of monooxygenases and distribution of radioactivity from 2-14-C-lysine in fractions of liver homogenate, muscle homogenate and blood of male rats treated with phenobarbital (80 mg/kg, three days) was studied. 2-14-C-lysine was injected intraperitoneally 24 h before the first injection of phenobarbital. It was demonstrated that monooxygenase induction, increase of relative liver weight and incorporation of radioactivity from 2-14-C-lysine into fractions of liver homogenate in phenobarbital-treated rats fed diet deficient in lysine, methionine, threonine and vitamins A, C and E were more pronounced as compared with the similarly treated rats which were fed a balanced diet. The possibility of mobilization of deficient essential components to liver from other organs and tissues for maintenance of monooxygenase induction is discussed.

[Characteristics of maternal and child nutrition in relation to infant mortality in Kazakh SSR].

Studies of actual nutrition patterns of women in pregnancy and lactation living in Kazakhstan regions with highest infant mortality rates showed significant deficiency of animal proteins, essential amino acids, and vitamins A, E and C. The prevalence of anemias amounted to 40-90% and that of hypogalactia to 32%. At the same time, the breast milk was found to have reduced protein and fat content at its high carbophos contamination. From 70 to 90% of cow milk samples were found to be contaminated with carbophos. Food products for children showed high levels of contamination with aflatoxin producing strains of micromyces. The priority tasks of nutritionists are to create of specialized therapeutic and prophylactic food products and breast milk substitutes.

[Nutrition and health in relation to ecology].

The ecological situation in the recent 20 years in the Kazakh SSR occupying one sixth of the USSR territory is analysed. The analysis shows a 3-29-fold rise in total morbidity for various infectious and somatic diseases associated with the drastic worsening of the ecological situation in the Aral Sea region; childhood and maternal mortality rates have significantly increased. Investigations made at the Institute for Regional Nutritional Problems of the USSR AMS have shown that pesticides, excessive mineral fertilisers, and various microorganisms and their metabolites (toxins) are priority food product pollutants for all Kazakhstan regions. An important role played by the nutritional status in showing a cancerogenic effect by nitro compounds has been established. A complex of sanitary-hygienic measures aimed at improving the State sanitary control over the environmental objects and food products has been elaborated that will improve the ecological situation in this republic.

Nitrosamines and their precursors in some Kazakh foodstuffs.

Numerous samples of various foods, such as salt-dried and smoke-dried meats, fermented sausages, sour-milk products, fermented mare's and camel's milk, raw vegetables, rice, rock and table salts, local bread and daily food rations were analysed by GC-TEA and HPLC-TEA for the presence of volatile nitrosamines. Apart from the observation of NDMA (up to 0.7 microgram/kg) in three samples of Kazakh cheeses, the volatile nitrosamines were detected only in some meat and meat products. Salted air-dried meat contained NDMA in amounts up to 54 micrograms/kg. NPYR (12 micrograms/kg) was found in one sample of nitrite-cured sausage. The highest content of NPIP (7 micrograms/kg) was detected in fermented, home-made sausage. It is clear that the only significant contribution of these dialkyl and heterocyclic nitrosamines to the diet is from stored, salt-dried meat and nitrite-cured meat products. Analyses of nitrate and nitrite in various local products are reported. The validity of our assumption that the high incidence of oesophageal cancer can be lowered by realistic improvements in the processing and storage of meat and meat products requires further evaluation.

Food Analysis

[Nutrition of the population of Kazakhstan].

Basic results of research on the problem of nutrition in Kazakhstan over the whole period of the Soviet system are reported. In the Republic main attention was focussed on the study of the actual dietary pattern of the population in different geographic zones. The results of investigations served as a background to proposals aimed at rationalizing the dietary for the population of Kazakhstan, at working out standard rates of the foodstuffs consumption, approved by the State Planning Commission of the Kazakh SSR back in 1973. The principal objectives for further research work in the Republic are outlined.
