The effects of replacing groundnut cake(GNC) with cottonseed cake (CSC) at 0, 50 and 100% levels in starter finisher diets on broiler performance, carcass characteristics gut morphology were evaluated a 56 - day feeding trial. Average daily feed intake, average weight gain, feed/gain ratio significantly (P< 0.05) affected by dietary treatments the phases. Eviscerated (E. W) dressing percenta...

and masseter muscle. While, the mean volume of the buccal fat pat is approximately 10 ml, the main physiological function of the buccal fat pad is to fill the masticatory space and act as a cushion for the masticatory muscles. There have been studies on the use of the pedicled buccal fat pad for closure of oroantral or oronasal communications secondary to exodontias and for postsurgical oral de...

Consumer demands for food products enriched with healthful n-3 fatty acids are steadily increasing. Feeding marine byproducts may provide an economical means of increasing the long-chain n-3 content of broiler tissues. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary lobster meal (LM) on the color and fatty acid profile of broiler chicken fatty tissue. Broilers were fed increasing levels...

The 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) concentration following intraperitoneal ad ministration was determined spectrophotofluorometrically in benzene extracts of the mammary fat pads and interscapular fat pads of female mice. The following consistent relationship in 3-MC concentration existed when varying dosages of the carcinogen were given in sesame oil: fourth mammary fat pad < third mammary fat pa...

A ganglion cyst is a cystic lesion containing myxoid matrix and lined by a pseudomembrane. A ganglion cyst arising from the infrapatellar fat pad is very rare, with only a few reports appearing in the literature, and the present case is the first report of this lesion in a child. A 10-year-old boy presented with right knee pain that showed no improvement despite resting from sports activity for...

Stem cells offer an interesting tool for tissue engineering, but the clinical applications are limited by donor-site morbidity and low cell number upon harvest. Recent studies have identified an abundant source of stem cells in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Adipose stem cells (ASCs) present in adipose tissue are able to differentiate to several lineages and express multiple growth factors, which...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects different doses Geumnyeonyijin-tang (GNYJT) water extracts with those metformin (250 mg/kg) in mild diabetic-obese mice.Methods and Results: 48 mice were divided into 1 normal pellet diet (NFD) group 5 high-fat (HFD) groups. At end 12 weeks oral administration or GNYJT (400, 200, or100 mg/kg), evaluated. HFD control showed noticeable i...

The wealth of clinical epidemiological data on the association between intra-abdominal fat accumulation and morbidity sharply contrasts with the paucity of knowledge about the determinants of fat distribution, which cannot be explained merely in terms of humoral factors. If it comes to neuronal control, until now, adipose tissue was reported to be innervated by the sympathetic nervous system on...

BACKGROUND In aesthetic medicine, the most promising techniques for noninvasive body sculpturing purposes are based on ultrasound-induced fat cavitation. Liporeductive ultrasound devices afford clinically relevant subcutaneous fat pad reduction without significant adverse reactions. This study aims at evaluating the histological and ultrastructural changes induced by ultrasound cavitation on th...
