Moreover, we could identify the effect of stress on tinnitus and HL during the service period. Most importantly, active service members not using hearing protectors, tend to have more tinnitus than those who use it. The members of the Defence Forces experience noise from various sources, most of it resulting from outdoor activities. Personal and work conditions-related risk factors as well as stress increase the risk of hearing problems.

Nutritionally, there is a dietary requirement for indispensable amino acids (IAAs) but also a requirement for nitrogen (N) intake for the de novo synthesis of the dispensable amino acids (DAAs). It has been suggested that there might be a dietary requirement for specific DAAs. Experiment 1 tested whether 9 of the DAAs (Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Gln, Glu, Gly, Pro, Ser) are ideal N sources using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique. Experiment 2 examined whether there is a dietary requirement for Glu in adult men. Seven healthy men (aged 20-24 y) participated in 11 or 2 test diet intakes, in experiment 1 and 2, respectively, in a repeated measures design. In experiment 1, a base diet consisting of the IAA provided at the RDA was compared with test intakes with the base diet plus addition of individual DAAs to meet a 5050 ratio of IAADAA on an N basis. In experiment 2, the diets corresponded to the amino acid pattern present in egg protein, in which all Glu and Gln was present as Glu, or removed, with Ser used to make the diets isonitrogenous. On each study day the IAAO protocol with l-[1-13C]phenylalanine was used to measure whole-body protein synthesis. In experiment 1, repeated measures ANOVA with post hoc multiple comparisons showed that 7 of the 9 DAAs (Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Glu, Gly, Ser) decreased IAAO significantly (P<0.05) compared with base IAA diet, the exceptions being Gln and Pro. In experiment 2, a paired t test did not find significant (P>0.05) differences in the IAAO in response to removal and replacement of Glu intake. The results suggest that in healthy men most DAAs are ideal N sources for protein synthesis, in the presence of adequate IAAs, and that endogenous synthesis of Glu is sufficient.Registered clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02009917.

Phosphate is absorbed in the small intestine via passive flow and active transport.NaPi-IIb, a type II sodium-dependent phosphate transporter, is considered to mediate active phosphate transport in rodents. To study the regulation of intestinal phosphate transport in chronic kidney disease (CKD), we analyzed the expression levels of NaPi-IIb, pituitary-specific transcription factor 1 (PiT-1) and PiT-2 and the kinetics of intestinal phosphate transport using two CKD models. CKD was induced in rats via adenine orThy1 antibody injection. Phosphate uptake by intestinal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) and the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of NaPi-IIb, PiT-1 and PiT-2 were analyzed. The protein expression level of NaPi-IIb was measured by mass spectrometry (e.g. liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry). In normal rats, phosphate uptake into BBMV consisted of a single saturable component and its Michaelis constant (Km) was comparable to that of NaPi-IIb. The maximum velocity (Vmax) correlated with mRNA and protein levels of NaPi-IIb. In the CKD models, intestinal phosphate uptake consisted of two saturable components. The Vmax of the higher-affinity transport,
