this study compared the effects of different levels of dietary fat on growth performance, liver enzymes and blood biochemical of juvenile siberian sturgeon (acipenser bearii) was designed for 12 weeks. for this reason 135 fish (15.6 ± 0.33g; mean ± sd) at nine 500 liter fiberglass tanks, each one containing 15 fish. three experimental diets with the same protein (42 %) and 3 fat levels 10, 15 a...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...

Important differences in all-causes mortality and in cardiovascular mortality exist between populations and they cannot be explained by differences in the level of medical care. During the last 20 years important changes have occurred in the level of cardiovascular mortality with an increase in Hungary and a decrease in Japan.

BACKGROUND Adult metabolic syndrome may in part have origins in fetal or early life. This study was designed to explore the effect of prenatal exposure to lipopolysaccharide and high-fat diet on metabolic syndrome in offspring rats. METHODS 32 pregnant rats were randomly divided into four groups, including Control group; LPS group (pregnant rats were injected with LPS 0.4 mg/kg intraperitonea...

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether chronic high-fat diet (HF) induces insulin resistance independently of obesity. We randomly divided 40 rats into two groups and fed them either with a HF or with a high-carbohydrate diet (HC) for 8 weeks. Whole body glucose disappearance rate (Rd) was measured using a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Firstly, we defined whether insulin...
