Brain (as food) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    Like most other internal organs, or offal, the brain can serve as nourishment. This includes the brains of pigs, cattle, monkeys, and in rare circumstances, humans, or even cats, birds, or marine mammals such as whales. In many cultures, different types of brain are considered a delicacy.

    "The brain, like most other internal organs, or offal, can serve as nourishment. Brains used for nourishment include those of pigs, squirrels, horses, cattle, monkeys, chickens and goats. In many cultures, different types of brain are considered a delicacy. In the Southern United States, canned pork brain in gravy can be purchased for consumption as food. This form of brain is often fried with scrambled eggs to produce "Eggs n' Brains".[1] They are part of the menu in many family owned restaurants throughout the region. The brain of animals also features in French cuisine, in dishes such as cervelle de veau and tête de veau."

Phosphatidylserine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    Phosphatidylserine (abbreviated Ptd-L-Ser, or PS) is a phospholipid component, usually kept on the inner-leaflet, the cytosolic side, of cell membranes by an enzyme called flippase. When a cell undergoes apoptotic cell death phosphatidylserine is no longer restricted to the cytosolic part of the membrane, but becomes exposed on the surface of the cell. First pilot studies indicate that PS supplementation might be beneficial for children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder PS can be found in meat fish, but is most abundant in the brain and in innards such as liver and kidney. Only small amounts of PS can be found in dairy products or in vegetables, with the exception of white beans.
