Thirty-six Nellore steers at 20 months of age on average and initial body weight 360 kg were fed ad libitum for 78 days two levels feed restriction 58 posterior feeding used to estimate composition using the methods indirect deuterium oxide or 9th-10th-11th ribs cut. The water content was calculated with equations established steers. chemical different ether extract content. animals subjected p...

Recent body composition analyses, together with assessments of insulin resistance, aerobic fitness, and intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery, have shown that metabolically-benign obese subjects have a similar BMI, waist circumference, and subcutaneous abdominal fat compared with non-metabolically-benign obese subjects. Research has suggested that 25-30% of the obese population do...

this study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius). milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (ts), fat (f), solids-non-fat (snf), ash, crude protein (cp), nitrogen soluble at ph 4.6 (sn), mineral content (mc) and casein fraction (cnf). camel milk had higher (p<0.05) fat content in th...

Dear Sir, We have read with a great interest the review published by Bang and Cho, on the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and unhealthy outcomes [1]. The prevalence of NAFLD in the Western world is estimated between 20-30% in the general adult population (i.e. Greece, Italy, Spain), and between 15-20% in Asian countries (i.e., India, China, Japan) [2]. The prevale...
