The growth response of rats to purified diets.

چکیده
In attempts to design a complete purified diet some observations were made on the rates of weight increase in rats receiving simple basal diets with various supplements. A recent review by Dunn, Murphy & Rockland (1947) on the optimal growth rate of the rat increased our interest in the studies of Zucker, Hall, Young & Zucker (1941 a-c) on the relation of weight to age in the rat and, although the numbers of rats in our groups were small, it appeared to be worth recording their growth performances for the information of others who may be concerned with various problems involved.

Effect of substituting increasing levels of organic Zn for inorganic Zn on performance, hematological and serum biochemical constituents, antioxidant status and immune response in rat
The effect of replacing dietary Zn supplemented from inorganic (ZnCO3) source with organic Zn (Zn methionine; Zn-met) was investigated in 72 rats (98.42 ± 1.483 g) by randomly allotting to 4 diets (6 replicates/diet, 3 rats/replicate). Basal diet was prepared with purified ingredients without Zn. The control diet (AIN-76A) contained 12 ppm of Zn from ZnCO3 (100-I). In the other diets ZnCO3 was ...

Background and Objectives: Different diets have important roles in human health and aging. In the current study, we aimed to characterize the Klotho, an anti-aging protein, gene expression and protein level in the serum and assess the protein levels of Transforming growth factor-β and Platelet-derived growth factor in old rats which treated with different diets (high-fat, high-protein, low calo...
