Salmonids are fatty fish and contain high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, beneficial in human nutrition. However, the aquaculture industry has expanded greatly in recent decades, increasing demand for fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) for fish feed, while the supply of fish raw materials has remained static or declined. This has created a need for alternative sustainable raw mater...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects dietary supplementation with black cumin seed meal on growth performance parameters, coccidia oocyst counts, plasma biochemical parameters and cecal fermentation processes in growing rabbits. A total 40 male Californian rabbits at 35 days age were divided into two feeding groups: Control (complete rabbit diet) Black (2% complete diet r...

Peripherally active anorectic agents represent a new approach to the pharmacological management of obesity. Two inhibitors of carbohydrate absorption: an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, acarbose (Bay g 5421) and a alpha-amylase inhibitor, Ro 12-2272, were compared with two novel inhibitors of lipid metabolism: an inhibitor of human pancreatic lipase (Ro 20-0083) and of hepatic fatty acid synthesis...

Animal data suggest that dietary fat composition may influence endocannabinoid (EC) response and dietary behavior. This study tested the hypothesis that fatty acid composition of a meal can influence the short-term response of ECs and subsequent energy intake in humans. Fifteen volunteers on three occasions were randomly offered a meal containing 30 g of bread and 30 mL of one of three selected...

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy is widely used in the management of neuroendocrine tumors. Somatostatin receptors are present in both neoplastic and normal tissues, which may lead to misinterpretation of the scans. Here, a patient with lung carcinoid imaged with In-111 octreotide is presented. Imaging was performed 4 and 24 hours after an intravenous injection of 185 MBq In-111 octreotide in...

The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)are thought to impair insulin signaling (1,2), and abnormally high levels of them are associated with insulin resistance (3,4) and type 2 diabetes (3,5). In patients with type 2 diabetes, a meal rich in fat, mainly in the form of sausages and butter, increases postprandial plasma concentrations of IL-6 and TNF, wher...

A key characteristic of overwintering dormancy (diapause) in the mosquito Culex pipiens is the switch in females from blood feeding to sugar gluttony. We present evidence demonstrating that genes encoding enzymes needed to digest a blood meal (trypsin and a chymotrypsin-like protease) are down-regulated in diapause-destined females, and that concurrently, a gene associated with the accumulation...

Body fat distribution is an important predictor of metabolic abnormalities in obese humans. Dysregulation of free fatty acid (FFA) release, especially from upper body subcutaneous adipose tissue, appears to contribute substantially to these metabolic disturbances. Why different individuals preferentially store fat in upper vs. lower body subcutaneous fat or subcutaneous vs. visceral fat is not ...

The search for new and cheap sources of protein has been increased lately. Although camelina meal antinutritive factors; compare to soybean it can be widely useable. objective this study is remove the question mark in minds about determine fermentation characteristics parameters including pH, ammonia-N level, volatile fatty acids concentration as well total gas volume, methane proportion estima...

BACKGROUND Nut consumption may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to measure the acute and second-meal effects of morning almond consumption and determine the contribution of different nut fractions. METHODS Fourteen impaired glucose tolerant (IGT) adults participated in a randomized, 5-arm, crossover design study where whole almonds (WA), almond b...
