Department of Agriculture, to continue a research project concerned with the utilization ct wheat by the adult male.

S. Department of Agriculture. A previous grant of $85,288, was awarded in February, 1965. The objective of the research is to study the utilization ot wheat by adult man. During a scientifically controlled diet period lasting 74 days, 12 college men were fed diets in which the major source of protein was pro vided by wheat bread. The men continued their usual college activities, receiving adequate calories, minerals and vitamins. The major difference to them was that all of their food was previously weighed and had to be eaten in the Human Research Metabolism Unit located in Hine.-; I HaU of the A&T College campus. Even snacks, prepared by the research staff, were made fur them from wheat starch. | Samples collected during the research study are being analy zed for 5 vitamins, 4 minerals, cholesterol, phospholipids, gly cerides and total lipids, as well as many nitrogen containing compounds. During some of the 4 controlled dietary periods, the men received in addition to the wheat bread either pinto beans, rice or peanut butter permitting the research team to determine the effect of these foods on im proving the utilization of whoat. The new phase of the research grant will measure the effect of the wheat diets on urinary amino acids and pantothenic acid, 9 additional minerals, (selenium, molybdenum, copper, zinc and iron) and plasma proteins. The staff of the project also includes Mrs. Lovie Booker, re search chemist, Richard Craven, research technician, and three students who will gain research training and experience while assisting with the project. - Wilmington , N.
