چکیده
Ten Holstein steers (141 kg) were used in two 5 X 5 Latin-square experiments conducted simultaneously to determine the effects of offering different levels and types of feeds with endo: phyte-infected rescue given ad libitum. In Exp. 1, steers wer e given ad libitum access to infected fescue hay in the afternoon; in the morning fescue was given ad lihitum (basal) or bermudagrass or clover hays were fed at .5 or 1.0% of body weight (BW). Supplementation did not affect total dry matter intake (P>.10), but supplementation at 1.0% of BW yielded total intake greater than supplementation at .5% of BW (P<.05). Supplementation did not change digestibilities of dry or organic matter (P>.IO). Particulate passage rate was greater (P<.IO) with supplementation at 1.0 than at .5% of BW, and increasing the level of supplementation from .5 to 1.0% of BW affected fluid passage rate positively with clover but negatively with bermudagrass (interaction, P<.05). Serum prolactin increased (P<.05) with all supplementation treatments, although no differences were observed between supplement type-supplementation level combinations (P>.IO). Ground corn and wheat hay were supplements in Exp. 2. Total intake of dry matter was greater with supplements provided at 1.0 rather than at .5% of BW and for corn rather than wheat hay (P<.05). Neutral detergent fiber digestion (percent of intake' and grams per day) rose when wheat hay was offered at 1.0 vs .5% of BW but declined when the level of supplemental corn increased from .5 to 1.0% of BW (interaction, P<.05). There were no differences among diets in particulate and fluid passage rates and serum prolactin concentration. Supplementation with nontoxic forage of a basal diet of infected fescue yielded intake substitution when forage was offered at .5% of BW, although incomplete substitution occurred with 1.0% of BW of supplemental forage such that total intake increased as compared to the lower level of supplementation.

Thermal coagulation of serum proteins. III. The effects of pH and of sulfhydryl reagents on the nature of the coagulum.
In solutions of serum heated at 100” at neutrality, the presence of small amounts of sulfhydryl reagents markedly alters the course of coagulation; iodoacetic acid strongly inhibits the formation of a coagulum, while iodoacetamide, methyl iodoacetate, and p-chloromercuribenzoate accelerate the rate at which a solid gel is obtained (1). The formation of a solid onephase coagulum or gel in a heat...

We read the article ’’The effects of exercise modalities on adiposity in obese rats’’ written by Guilherme Fleury Fina Speretta et al. with great interest (1). The authors concluded that both of the examined exercise modalities improved lipid profile, adiposity and obesity-associated inflammation in rats, suggesting their use as an alternative to control the deleterious effects of a high-fat di...

Animals fed cholesterol accumulate several types of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins in their plasma and ultimately develop cholesteryl ester deposition in tissue macrophages. Previous studies in the cholesterol-fed dog have shown that one class of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins, P-migrating very low density lipoproteins (P-VLDI,, density < 1.006 g/ml), possesses a unique ability to produce cellula...
