ADDITIONAL NUTRITIONAL FACTORS REQUIRED BY THE RAT

Modulation of extracellular matrix by nutritional hepatotrophic factors in thioacetamide-induced liver cirrhosis in the rat.

Nutritional substances associated to some hormones enhance liver regeneration when injected intraperitoneally, being denominated hepatotrophic factors (HF). Here we verified if a solution of HF (glucose, vitamins, salts, amino acids, glucagon, insulin, and triiodothyronine) can revert liver cirrhosis and how some extracellular matrices are affected. Cirrhosis was induced for 14 weeks in 45 fema...

Nutritional Factors in Hemodynainics

AN INTERRELATIONSHIP between certain of the actions of ascorbic acid and of pteroylglutamic acid (PGA) has been reported recently by several laboratories. The "tyrosyluria" present in vitamin C deficient guinea pigs' can be abolished by the parenteral administration of pteroylglutamic acid, although the deficiency of vitamin C and the subsequent development of scurvy is not ameliorated.2-4 Mass...

Effect of Gamma, Electron Beam and Infrared Radiation Treatment on the Nutritional Value and Anti-Nutritional Factors of Sorghum Grain

The present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (ER) and gamma irradiation (GR) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kGy and infrared irradiation (IR) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compo...
