Another closely related quantity is the net postprandial protein utilization (NPPU), which is the maximum potential NPU of a dietary protein source under ideal conditions. [1]: 12 The Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) is a more modern rating for determining protein quality, and the current ranking standard used by the FDA.
The norepinephrine transporter (NET), also known as noradrenaline transporter (NAT), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the solute carrier family 6 member 2 (SLC6A2) gene. [ 5 ] NET is a monoamine transporter and is responsible for the sodium-chloride (Na + /Cl − )-dependent reuptake of extracellular norepinephrine (NE), which is also ...
Net protein utilization, the percentage of ingested nitrogen retained in the body; NPU terminology (Nomenclature for Properties and Units), ...
Biological value (BV) is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from a food which becomes incorporated into the proteins of the organism's body. It captures how readily the digested protein can be used in protein synthesis in the cells of the organism.
Dentin sialophosphoprotein is a precursor protein for other proteins found in the teeth. It is produced by cells (odontoblasts) inside the teeth (dental pulp), and in smaller quantities by bone tissues (osteoblasts and osteocytes). It is required for normal hardening (mineralisation) of teeth.
In the early 1980s, American orthopedist Harold Frost published a review article detailing then known experiences with regional acceleratory phenomena, which can be caused by injuries such as fractures and burns, afflictions such as acute paralysis and arthritis, bone movement such as implant placement and orthodontics, as well as vitamin D, thyroxine, and electrical stimuli.

Reduces the duration of fixed orthodontic treatment; Better oral hygiene is possible, so reduced risk of caries; Health of investing tissues (periodontium and alveolar process) is preserved, therefore reduced alveolar bone loss; Less retention period is indicated; More stable results are achieved; Less potential iatrogenic damage
