The patients with end-stage of renal disease (ESRD) need to take oral phosphate binder. Traditional phosphate binders may leave the disadvantage of aluminum intoxication or cardiac calcification. Herein, Mg-Fe-Cl hydrotalcite-like nanoplatelet (HTln) is for the first time characterized as potential oral phosphate binder, with respect to its phosphorus uptake capacity in cow milk and cellular cy...

limit lipogenesis. When explants are cultured with the three hormones for 24 or 43 h and are then transferred to a hormone-free medium for 20h, there is a decrease of about 30 and 40% respectively in the amount of synthetase present. The accumulation of the enzyme is therefore dependent on the continued presence of the hormones. There is a striking decrease, or even a cessation, in the rate of ...

Iodide is an essential constituent of milk that is present in concentrations more than an order of magnitude higher than in the maternal plasma. Earlier, a sodium-iodide symporter was identified in the mammary gland; this transporter is presumed to take iodide from the maternal plasma into the alveolar epithelial cells of the mammary gland. We now report the existence of a second iodide transpo...

four-hundred milk samples from half udders of 20 flocks of native breed goats were asepticallycollected. the samples were examined by california mastitis test (cmt). twenty-one (5.25%) of 400 werecmt-positive. the cmt-positive samples were then cultured and the following bacteria were isolated:staphylococcus aureus in 3 (14.28%), cns (coagulase-negative staphylococci) in 14 (66.66%), streptococ...

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in pregnant women can cause neonatal thrombocytopenia by transport of antiplatelet autoantibodies across the placenta. Usually, an infant's platelet count normalizes within 2 months. We observed neonatal thrombocytopenia that persisted more than 4 months and disappeared following discontinuation of breastfeeding. The aim of our study was to discern whether breast m...

Soy milk (SM) is widely consumed worldwide as a substitute for cow milk. It is a source of vitamins, carbohydrates and sugars, but its capacity to preserve cell viability has not been evaluated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of SM to maintain the viability of human fibroblasts at short periods compared with different cow milks. Human mouth fibroblasts were cul...

Nippon Eiyo Shokuryo Gakkaishi (J. Jpn. Soc.Nutr. Food Sci.) 47, 55~59 (1994) Lactic acid bacteria (3 strains of cocci and 10 strains of bacilli) and lactose-fermenting yeasts (18 strains) were isolated from a 24 h cultured of kefir milk. The lactococci and yeasts were identified as Streptococcus lactis and Kluyveromyees marxianus var. marxianus, respectively. The lactobacilli were of the heter...

According to controversial theories and results of studies, foods with animal origins play an important role in the transmission of H. pylori to human. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of vacA genotypes of H. pylori, isolated from milk and meat samples of cow, sheep, goat, camel, and buffalo. Eight hundred and twenty raw milk and meat samples were collected from various p...
