Bioavailability of iron from purple laver (Porphyra spp.) estimated in a rat hemoglobin regeneration bioassay.
Laver belongs to the genius of Porphyra and is the most valuable seaweed in the aqua-culture industry. It contains higher iron than many other plant foods. The bioavailability of iron from laver was evaluated in a rat hemoglobin regeneration assay. Reagent-grade ferrous sulfate was used as the reference standard, and the relative biological value (RBV) for laver was expressed as a percentage of...
متن کاملIron bioavailability of cocoa powder as determined by the Hb regeneration efficiency method.
Fe deficiency is a public-health problem worldwide, and effective measures for preventing Fe deficiency are needed. The aim of the present study was to determine the bioavailability of Fe in cocoa using the Hb regeneration efficiency (HRE) method. Thirty-five F344/N male weanling rats were fed a low-Fe diet for 4 weeks to deplete body Fe stores. Then, four groups of seven animals each were repl...
متن کاملSomatic Embryogenesis: An Alternative Method for in vitro Micropropagation
Plant tissue culture is an alternative method of commercial propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. Somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. Somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-e...

OBJECTIVE To examine use of the paramedian forehead flap for intranasal lining. METHODS The medical records and photographs were reviewed for patients who underwent a nasal reconstruction involving a paramedian forehead flap used for internal lining. RESULTS Three patients underwent this procedure. In all patients, the flap provided excellent intranasal lining. External incisions were accep...
متن کاملAn Artificial Neural Network Model for Prediction of the Operational Parameters of Centrifugal Compressors: An Alternative Comparison Method for Regression
Nowadays, centrifugal compressors are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the energy transmission facilities just like a gas pipeline stations. Therefore, these machines with different operational circumstances and thermodynamic characteristics are to be exploited according to the operational necessities. Generally, the most important operational parameters of a gas pipel...
