A portable bioluminescence analyser for detecting the DNA sequence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) was developed by using a photodiode (PD) array. Pyrosequencing on eight genes (zSSIIb, Bt11 and Bt176 gene of genetically modified maize; Lectin, 35S-CTP4, CP4EPSPS, CaMV35S promoter and NOS terminator of the genetically modified Roundup ready soya) was successfully detected with this ins...

The effect of dietary lipid on the thermotropic properties of acetylcholinesterase activity was examined in rat synaptosomal membrane preparations after feeding diets containing soya-bean oil, sunflower oil or soya-bean phosphatidylcholine as the dietary fats. Arrhenius plots and energies of activation were altered by the duration of feeding as a function of time, as well as by the composition ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of Transfersomal gel formulations for transdermal delivery of Celecoxib and to evaluate the effect of concentration of Soya PC and Sodium deoxycholate. Transfersomal vesicles containing Soya PC mixed with Sodium deoxycholate and Celecoxib were prepared by conventional rotatory evaporation (Film hydration method) and characterized for...

the use of agriculture residues as filler in composites is increasing due to their strength, abundance and low cost. soya stalks show promising renewable natural fiber. in polyethylene composites the physical and mechanical properties (flexural resistance, tensile, impacted absorbed energy, water uptake and thickness swelling) was examined at different composites. the results showed that, the m...

Obesity is a growing problem in dogs. Therefore, there is an increasing need of foods for obese dogs with high-fibre content to dilute energies and to reduce energy absorption. Soya hulls are cheap and are widely available as a fibre source. We aimed at evaluating the body condition of dogs fed diets containing 0 % soya hulls (0SH) or 16 % soya hulls (16SH) in replacement of maize. Twelve adult...

It has been shown that lipid peroxidation product levels in the soleus muscles of rats fed palm olein were lower than in the soleus muscles of rats fed soya bean oil. A study was carried out to test our hypothesis that the lower level of lipid peroxidation products in the soleus muscle of palm olein-fed rats is due, at least partly, to the higher amount of vitamin E in their soleus muscles. Exp...

Ileal digestibility and availability of lysine in protein concentrates ,for pigs The availability of lysine in protein concentrates for pigs and the relationship between ileal digestibility and availability have been investigated in two separate research projects : Dr Jane Leibholz of the University of Sydney, with weaner pigs, and myself at the Wollongbar Agricultural Institute, using grower p...
