Shirbot (Barbus grypus) as a species with high potential for aquaculture development recently propagated artificially in South Iran Aquaculture Research Center to extend the species diversity in polyculture system. To provide an effective economic diet for this species 9 experimental diets containing three crude protein levels (250, 300, and 350 g kg -1) and three metabolizable energy levels ...

BACKGROUND Studies of weight-control diets that are high in protein or low in glycemic index have reached varied conclusions, probably owing to the fact that the studies had insufficient power. METHODS We enrolled overweight adults from eight European countries who had lost at least 8% of their initial body weight with a 3.3-MJ (800-kcal) low-calorie diet. Participants were randomly assigned,...

objective the ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low carbohydrate, adequate protein diet,developed in the 1920s for the management of intractable seizure disorders in children. to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of the classic  ketogenic diet, we analyzed records of the children started on the diet from 1999 to 2006 at the mofid children's hospital.materials & methods   the subjects were 87 child...

A key determinant of the relationship between diet and longevity is the balance of protein and carbohydrate in the diet. Eating excess protein relative to carbohydrate shortens lifespan in solitary insects. Here, we investigated the link between high-protein diet and longevity, both at the level of individual ants and colonies in black garden ants, Lasius niger. We explored how lifespan was aff...

NH,CI. None of the adaptations could be attributed to the high-protein diet per se since they were not evident in those rats fed a high-protein diet and given NaHC03 solution to drink. Of particular interest is the increased rate of gluconeogenesis found in kidney slicesfrom rats fed ona high-protein diet. Krebs et al. (1963) have observed an increased rate of renal gluconeogenesis in rats fed ...

background: mixed cereals and legumes products enhance protein quality. this study has been conducted to compare the protein value of two homemade foods (a mixture of beans and rice and a mixture of vetch and rice) with a commercial baby food (wheat- based cerelac) in rats. methods: an experimental study has been conducted on 80 male rats, which divided into 8 subgroups. five different diets in...

The relationship of dietary protein to cadmium absorption and tissue deposition was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to different levels of cadmium in the drinking water. In animals fed a high-protein or low-protein diet and drinking water containing 25 or 50 ppm cadmium, liver and kidney cadmium and metallothionein were both significantly higher in rats fed the high-protein diet for...

I . The mean liver retinol reserve (retinal+ retinyl esters, expressed as retinol) of six newborn lambs was 21 ? 8 pg. The mean value for ten suckled lambs, aged 5-7 days, was 2655 +47z pg retinol per liver. 2. Three unsuckled lambs were fed ad lib. from birth for 28 days on a high-protein diet, based on lard and skim milk, without supplementary vitamin A. The diet provided sufficient vitamin A...
